Jang Man-weol’s story, on the other hand, isn’t just a disillusioning event. Usually, a character’s backstory only serves as a cynical catalyst to justify a character’s jadedness and disillusionment. The fragmented narrative on Jang Man-weol’s past life (and I would strongly stand by on this one) is the best part of this series.

Despite her tough personality, she has a soft spot for her childhood friend Yeon-woo (Lee Tae-sun). She grew up a fighter because she had to be.

We cherish a lot of scenes and characters from Sassy Girl Chun-hyang, Couple or Trouble, and My Girlfriend Is a Nine-Tailed Fox the same way we fondly look back to our after-school-afternoons. Millennial K-drama Fans grew up watching a lot of hit fantasy series written by the Hong Sisters.
