Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The drama's Korean title '순정에 반하다' is a pun meaning both 'falling for pure love' and 'rebelling against pure love' — perfectly capturing Min Ho's internal war.
Released during Korea's 2015 'chaebol critique' wave, the series weaponizes melodrama to question whether corporate heirs can ever truly be redeemed — or if the system itself is the villain.
