A Tale of Two Sisters (2013)

!!!!!

Too bad the drama flopped because it had some potential. One thing that bothered me the most is how Ye Rin always got what she wanted. ALWAYS! The writer was trying too hard to change the love interest forcefully. It's cartoonish af! To make it worse, the female lead is one of those pathetic brain-dead leads who doesn't fight back and let everyone step on her because she is the nicest person in the universe. It's not like the drama had anything good going for it so whatever let this garbage burn....

Not as bad as comments made it out to be

This wasn't that bad, pretty much a standard daily drama. I liked that it didn't have a lot of makjang, and there's only really one antagonist in the series that does all the scheming, the rest are just various characters getting into one antic after another. This was definitely a family drama than an outright soap.

I think most of the gripe from the comments come from the "switch" in the main couple. I didn't really mind it all too much though since the initial male love interest wasn't exactly interesting, and story-wise he failed the FL a lot. Nothing malicious about him, but he was just inadequate. Him getting shipped with the lead antagonist was awkward and contrived--even for daily drama standards, however.

The worst part of the drama is the orphan characters suddenly getting rich parents half-way through the thing. Now that's just really lazy writing.

Oh, and the grandpa played a bit too much into the patriarchal family head trope that you end up having no sympathy for him whatsoever even after he died. Good thing he bit the dust a bit earlier than usual.
