Slow start and fast finish


(5 stars)

For the first 5 minutes I was not sure about this drama but I persisted and so glad I did. The tale of a girl/woman and her fall from wealth and what she did to gain her wealth back by any means. The other main character talks to his friend about the past years concerning the girl/woman. So be prepared to go back and forth in time, as you can get confused if not concentrating on this light hearted enjoyable drama, now 42 years old.
