Littlemisshappyify's note: I instantly became a Ji Sung fan girl when Save the Last Dance For Me came out last 2004 (I think?). I was really surprised with his role here. He is so intense! Playing an arrogant chaebol's son and anti-heroine from the very beginning, he is so good you wanted to slap him. I absolutely loved the way love and hatred mixed with revenge played in this drama. The way his cold character warmed up to the sole subject of his revenge: Yoo-Jung. Yoo-Jung is probably one of the strongest - if somewhat too foolish - heroine out there. You can really feel all of her struggles - her imprisonment, forced extraction from her son, her father's condition and death - God, how can one maintain one's sanity? I really digged how Ji Sung's character trifled with guilt and love as he watched this strong, independent woman battle all the hardships. Even the secondary characters are really amazing! I don't know if you guys knew the drama 49 days. The male antagonist out there is the same man here. He's name is Bae Soo-bin and I must admit he is really good. His crying scenes are so intense. He doesn't even mind when he has runny nose. lol. He definitely deserved that award. Not to mention, the supporting actress Lee Da-Hee really played the part as well.

Hey, I would like to recommend my own story. I hope you like it. If not then no offense taken!

Bias: sehun, jongin, oc
Genre: action, comedy, crime, drama, romace
Main Storyline (for example: gangster/school themed, crown prince story, etc): hate/love romance, crime/law, scheming, underworld, Korean gangster movie meets romance sort of a story.
Length (one shot/short chapters/long chapters): long chapters
Type (straight//yuri): straight with some boy x boy on the side
Rated or Not: rated
If yes, specify: occasional violence, and cursing. some mature themes like drugs and mentioned in latter chapters. But mature themes are not the main point in the story so they will stay more in the background.
