What sets the plot in motion is Lee Joonhee, the heir of the fashion company Sopia finding out that his evil stepmother was responsible for his real mother’s death. He vows to dedicate himself to making her pay and preventing her and his stepbrother from getting control of Sopia. But he is ill and after meeting a (poor) man who is identical to him, hires him to be a temporary substitute.

They are actually twin brothers, but strangely the stupid characters in this drama don’t even think of that possibility first.

Let’s get things straight, although Joonhee looks like an interesting character, he is treated as a mere plot device, which is a shame. Even at the very end, his brother Oh Dae San completely disregards his wishes, without it even be adressed.

If you are tempted to watch it for the battle for the control of the company to reach a satisfying conclusion, don’t bother. The villains don’t get punished or even scorned for their bad deeds, quite the contrary.

What’s left then? A generic romance that will make you neither cry nor giggle.

The title does not reflect the actual content of this drama. "Cinderella’s sister" did not either..
