I am not a fan of love triangles or jealous, petty guys fighting over a woman. That being said, I enjoyed this show SO much. The title "Jealousy Incarnate" is absolutely accurate, this is a show that is centered on a love triangle between two best friends and an ordinary-yet-extraordinary woman. This show was somewhat of a train-wreck, but also really well done? Despite have 24 episodes, the pacing is good and I was never bored. While I disliked just how extreme the love triangle was, I was super entertained. Probably the only thing that was a major con for me was the side characters of the sister-in-laws and the niece and her guy friends. I would have cut almost all their scenes, and in fact by about episode 8 I was skipping all their parts all together. While each of the characters encountered "jealousy" in some way (very in keeping with the theme) I could have done without some of it especially from the side characters, as most of the show ended up being fighting.

Despite all that, I was hooked up to the last episode. The way the show dealt with some really serious issues like health, disease, prejudice, jealousy, and love was really well done. And while the constant jealousy could be seen as immaturity, I actually though the relationships were on the more mature side. I liked the FL so much, much more so than her role in It's Okay That's Love (which is the only other thing I have seen her in so far). This was also my first watch with Jo Jung-Suk, and I can see why he is so popular. The acting from all the leads was very natural and the chemistry between the leads was sizzling.

Overall was this a great show? I'm not sure, but I can absolutely say that it is massively entertaining!
