The usual daily drama format. It took exactly 3 episodes to glue everyone together inside a company setting. More or less, the drama had about three major problems. The drama hit a dead end and became in an irrecoverable state at episode 102 which is why a sudden switch was flipped to alter the drama's direction. Another possible reason for the shift, everyone was contractually obliged for about 100 episodes but the drama suddenly got an extension for 30+ episodes and some members of the cast had a busy calendar so they weren't available for the extension. The other problem was the constant escape technique the writer plagued this drama with. Do Hyung's father played a big role creating conflict and tension with the leads, however, his weak health was always present to cut any dialogue/scene short, delaying the conflict, and neglecting his purpose as a character. Being hot-tempered parent/in-law is a common archetype in daily shows but combining that with his health problems made things quite irritating. The third problem was the intense and harsh humiliation and degradation the FL and her family suffered from throughout the drama. At a certain point the drama attempted to fix the situation in preparation for the ending, while they might have been fine on the surface but the damage couldn't be washed away. At bare minimum, they needed to address it directly and make it worthwhile. Anyway, the drama remains pretty average.
