They made a mistake when they changed the direction of this story. It started off being about how a man who married into a superbly wealthy family was fed up with being taken advantage of and mistreated and was about to call it quits when he realizes that he can't (and maybe also deep down doesn't want to). Then, the story should have explored everything that it would have taken for this man and woman to get their marriage back on track and for their families to reconcile and accept each other the way they never had before. That sounds like a unique story with a lot of material.
Instead, the story veers into very tired, overwrought territory filled with clichés: secret funds stashed abroad, villains under your roof, the hero that appears at always the right moment, the OTP whose paths intersected in the past when they were children and later again as teens, and more...oh boy! We also lose the actually funny humor of the early episodes to attempts at humor in the later episodes that are just embarrassing.
There are also way too many lengthy scenes of people crying. Can someone please explain to me how anyone finds it entertaining to watch someone cry...cry some more...then cry again? I wish creators of K-dramas would get it into their heads that this is not entertaining. Keep the crying scenes short and to a minimum please!
On the plus side, the music is very pretty.
