Just completed 2nd episode. The props and costume design look really authentic. The plot so far is a little dull though. (But it’s just the 2nd episode.) If I didn’t know what the synopsis of this drama was, I wouldn’t continue.

There’s a subtle humorous undertone which I quite like..it brings a little lightheartedness in an otherwise dreary household scheming drama so far. Up to episode 8 so far and it’s capture the essence of most characters so far
