The drama portrays beautifully its characters, centering the whole story around their personalities and their struggles.

It also shows how money and love affairs intervene, often canceling one another, or complicating things.

In addition, the drama offers a critical view of how women are treated by society, forced to act cute and girly, or change their appearance to fit in.
