The main problem with the show is the premise itself. Gong Hyo-jin was unbearable as the timid single mother, and sometimes even comes off as a green tea b*tch. The premise causes her to behave like this at least once every episode, as if she's some shy, innocent little girl, and not a single mother. It just doesn't work, and it's not an attractive personality trait.
Some storylines on the side were fun to watch, such as Oh Jung-se as wannabe politician No Gyu-tae. His scenes were fun to watch. Yeom Hye-ran also did a good job as his wife. They had good chemistry.
I don't think Son Dam-bi (Hyang-mi) was as bad as others commented, although her storyline was ultimately quite useless and just there to support a different plot point. Her acting was fine.
One of my favorite actresses, Kim Sun-young, only had a small part but her scenes with the rest of ladies from the alley were fun as well. Reminded me a little of her scenes in Crash landing on you.
Another standard good performance from Jeon Bae-soo as well. Fun to watch any scenes he's in.
You'll notice I barely touched on the murder plot. This is because it's fairly trivial, like an after thought and not particularly engaging.
Overall 5/10. Relatively good cast let down by weak story, and one unbearable character.
