It’s been a while since I’ve tackled a makjang and 8 episodes in this instance seemed doable. In the past (at least since Make a Woman Cry) I’ve avoided them like the plague not just because of the over-the-top family dynamics but also for the ridiculously protracted conflicts that mark these types of stories. South Korean soap operas aren’t just insanity on steroids but the breeding ground for all-too-familiar tropes like revenge, birth secrets, amnesia, mistaken identity, illegitimate offsprings, family members wrestling for supremacy for the family business, forced marriages, imposterism etc etc. It used to be a competition among the main networks as to who could cram in the most number of tropes into a terrifying 50 episode drama that would last 6 months.

You consider <i>Flower of evil</i> a makjang ? I might have not understand well what it entice, as this drama did not seemed more outragous than others to me.

I do consider Flower of Evil a makjang but it's not a hill I would necessarily die on. :D But it has some nutty stuff going on with the rich family.
This one wasn't particularly outrageous but it has a crazy female villain who seems to be everywhere although not necessarily all at once.
