Hong Seol is a college student who has a
few run-ins with the rich, charming Yoo Jung, and she knows he hates
her. His actions are so subtle, however, Hong Seol has a hard time
convincing others of Yoo Jung's true character. Over time, will Hong
Seol be able to teach the sociopath how to be more honest with his
feelings and restore his relationships with his adopted siblings?
What happens when the adopted sister sees Hong Seol as a threat to
her way of life and her relationship with Yoo Jung? Will the adopted
brother be able to convince Hong Seol of Yoo Jung's potential for
harming those around him?
*This
drama is full of passive-aggressive power struggles, half-truths and
emotionally unstable young adults. The music is boring, the plot is
dull, and the main characters are just plain unlikable creatures.
While the plot and dialogue is more realistic than most Kdramas,
making it refreshing initially, once the novelty wore off it was just
boring. The ending was lame, too (although the webtoon is still being
written, so that might have had something to do with it.) Won't watch
this again.*
