Tbh, this was a slow starter for me. I alllllmost dnf'ed about 20% in.
However it does pick up shortly there after with plenty of family drama, intrigue, and a sneaky, snakey terribly husband and father.
Basically the Park family patriarch has decided to start a whole new life since his wife has terminal cancer, his only son is gay, and he has no use for his two daughters. Now he has a fiancee the same age as his daughters and is expecting a new son.
But not only is he starting this new life, but he's trying to hide assets and cut his wife/children out of what they should be entitled to.
Enter Jia Song. She's a newly minted junior partner at her powerful law firm and hungry for senior partnership already. She leaps at the chance to take on this case as a stepping stone toward her goals.
But Jia hadn't factored in how difficult the Park family would be to navigate, how tempting their house manager would be, or how this case would take over her entire life.
You can't count Jia out though. She's determined and savvy, but even her strengths won't prepare her for how this story plays out.
