10/10
Suspenseful K-drama with magnificent performances
25 January 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Here we have Ji-Woo Choi (Winter Sonata, Stairway To Heaven) giving a MAGNIFICENT performance as an unsmiling housekeeper to a family who just lost their mother to suicide. The children remaining latch on to her, despite her failings, because they are grieving the loss of their mother and dealing with a wimpy father who was having an affair with a co-worker which brings on the wife's suicide. If he had only kept his pants on she never would have died! (Though eventually he does feel his guilt and re-commits to his children, dumping the co-worker).

The children are all great little actors in this show; how Korea keeps finding these incredible child actors I have no idea, but they knock it out of the ballpark compared to child actors from Hollywood, bringing depth to their characters, even the tiny five year old girl who is an absolute treasure of a performer. I am not sure I could even read a script at five years old, much less have the emotional depth to bring dramatic emotions to the surface.

Don't miss this addictive drama, it gets 10 stars from me!
