Atmospheric, Intriguing, artistic without being pretentious. This Drama delivers on all fronts.

A struggling writer suddenly finds four women in his house claiming to have been invited to rent rooms there for (you guessed it!) 1 Million yen... per month. That's roughly $8,800 usd for a single room the size of my closet... per month.

Who are these women and why would anyone agree to this?

This is the mystery but the more we know about the characters and their circumstances the more questions we have. Each has their reasons, their own background and personality.

Character driven from beginning to end with an artistic flair that enhances the atmosphere rather than just be a bit of mindless eye candy. Easily the best drama I've watched all year. This hidden gem is worth a watch.

The one thing that stops it from being a perfect 10 is the rushed reveal at the end. The series would have benefited from an episode or two more for that part.

The show starts of on the wrong foot. Sa Geum-ran, our main lead is fat.

That's it. She's fat. Point and laugh at her because apparently that means she doesn't even deserves to live.

Like Cinderella she has mother-in-law with two daughters who's whole reason for existing at all is to make her life miserable and treat her like a slave.

Via plastic surgery she transforms herself into a beauty and decides to get revenge on those that have wronged her.

The first 4 episodes try to hammer in the cinderella story. Thankfully they go easy on the fat shaming after the very episode but it's still there making it almost childish at some point... after that however it tries to be a Count de monte cristo tale but the plot's tone is a bit muddled going back and forth between the previous childish tone and the super serious Drama tone.

The actors carry this through and the music score is perfection saving it. I did feel it was padding itself to reach 21 episodes when we had a perfect ending at episode 12 or 13. It didn't need to be this long so although I did enjoy it and got invested in the characters I won't be re-watching this again any time soon.
