I really enjoyed this one - it was a great mix of fun silliness and melodrama heartstring-tugging. The cast is great - individually and in their chemistry. And I thought they struck a very good balance between the anthology grudge-of-the-week story and the season arc and the gradual reveal of the main characters' backstories.

I do wonder what Korean word/concept has been translated into "grudge" though, as it seems like there is no exact English match and they just took the closest match they could find for the subtitling.
