Even knowing what to expect, this show is often ridiculously over the top. You'll find all the usual tropes that come with this genre jealousy, family secrets, blackmail, allegiances, & power struggles are the norm. From there, Da Hae keeps on climbing the "ladder of success" while stepping on the throats of everyone she comes across. She eventually takes all of Ha Ryu's money and leaves him & their daughter for a wealthier man without even telling anybody. Things start to unravel for them over time though, and Da Hae soon morphs into a heartless witch with zero redeeming qualities. They begin a relationship, and, they're both fairly likable and make for a really nice couple in the beginning. As the story unfolds, we're introduced to Da Hae & Ha Ryu in their young adult lives as they meet again after not seeing each other since they were children. The rest of the show is then told in the past, from the time Da Hae and Ha Ryu first met, on up through time, until they finally arrive back in the present. This all happens in the first 10 minutes of episode 1, and sets the stage for the story to come. These two struggle with a gun until one gets shot (and is presumably dead), but, you can't tell which one takes the bullet. SPOILERS AHEAD! Our story begins in the present, where Joo Da Hae is the wife of Korea's President, and, Ha Ryu is a special prosecutor who's come to arrest her for her misdeeds. As the title suggests, this show squarely falls into the "woman who will stop at nothing to succeed" category. I'm starting to lose track of how many of these similarly themed K-drama shows I've seen over the years, and, there seems to be no shortage still being made.
