A Disappointing Conclusion: Unnecessary Drama and an Unconvincing Ending
I recently watched Circle of Love (2023), and while it had its moments, I couldn't help but feel disappointed by the unnecessary drama and the perplexing ending.Firstly, the excessive drama throughout the plot became a distraction rather than an enhancement. It felt like the storyline was trying too hard to create tension and conflict, which often detracted from the overall enjoyment of the narrative. Subtlety and nuance were overshadowed by melodrama, leaving me yearning for a more balanced and realistic portrayal of the characters' emotions.
The ending, in particular, left me baffled. It seemed as if the filmmakers couldn't decide between two drastically different outcomes and attempted to merge them into one. This left the audience with a choice between two conflicting conclusions, neither of which was sufficiently explained or justified. The lack of a clear resolution made it impossible to fully invest in the fate of the characters, and it felt like a missed opportunity for a more satisfying and coherent ending.
Furthermore, the chosen ending felt implausible within the context of the story's established world and character development. It left me questioning the decisions and motivations of the characters, as it appeared to deviate from their established arcs. A well-crafted ending should provide closure and a sense of fulfillment, but in this case, it only left me with a sense of confusion and dissatisfaction.
Despite these shortcomings, I must admit that the main actor was the primary reason I watched the drama in the first place. His talent and charisma were undeniable, and he managed to breathe life into his character, even in the face of a challenging narrative. However, even his remarkable performance couldn't fully redeem the drama from its disappointing elements.
While Circle of Love (2023) had its merits, the excessive drama and the disjointed, unconvincing ending ultimately detracted from the overall experience. It's disappointing when a promising story falls short of delivering a satisfying conclusion that aligns with the rest of the narrative, even when anchored by a standout performance from the lead actor.

"Circle of Love" it's a web drama about a woman in a journey for revenge. Gu Meng lost her entire family in her wedding day and she thinks her husband-to-be is the killer.I really like Li Jiu Lin, but it's too bad that he likes to do this web dramas, because I just can't like this type of story, this is the last one I will ever watched. Everything happens too fast, the rhythm is totally different of a normal drama, there's no character development and in particular case, I just couldn't like Hong Ye. I usually like bad boys, but he was just an abusive and possessive man.
Hong Ye fooled Gu Meng since the beginning, making her think she was his maid and let her trapped for a long time, always using an excuse to humiliate her. When she learns she's pregnant, Hong Ye thinks the baby's is Zi Chen and makes her do an abortion. We can't forget that he really killed her entire family.
In conclusion, this drama is really bad, don't bother watching this.

*TRIGGER WARNING: S/A*
This drama is so disgusting.First let me preface this by saying I don't actually care if a drama has a toxic male or couple, and I knew going into this drama that the ML was going to be toxic. However the trope of toxic ML does not give him permission to SA the female lead. He first kissed her with out her consent, but then he made her strip her clothes, for no actual reason beside his own pleasure. I don't care if he felt bad afterwards he still did it. I pretty much just stopped watching up until that point cause I knew that nothing he did would redeem himself.

salah mencintai orang
Gak terlalu suka cerita seperti ini, karena sang wanita seperti dilecehkan. Terlalu banyak penyiksaan di sini. Cuman beberapa cerita saya suka, seperti sebelum pasangan ini berkelahi. Tetapi setelah itu saya tidak suka, dengan begitu banyaknya kekerasan. Dan saya merasa kasihan terhadap yang memerankan sang wanita, dia mendapatkan pelecehan tanpa disadarinya.Anda bisa menontonnya, tapi saya tidak rekomendasikan. Karena yang didapat dari cerita ini kebanyakan kekerasan.
Bukan menghina, cuma produser dan penulis bisa lebih bijak dalam membuat cerita.

NON VIVO PIÙ SENZA TE (Biagio Antonacci)
È stato scritto e riscritto, quindi non ripeterò che la relazione tra FL e ML è tossica. Certo che lo è!Ma nonostante questo, nonostante le amnesie al momento opportuno (che capiti una volta ci può pure stare, ma due alla stessa persona in poco tempo...? Ma prenditi del magnesio, santo cielo!), nonostante ci siano sparatorie ed accoltellamenti ripetuti (forse in una vita precedente FL e ML erano dei gatti e si sono avanzati qualche vita), nonostante incongruenze della trama (vabbè, non stiamo a guardare il pelo nell'uovo), nonostante una scena finale in cui con tre pallottole in corpo ML riesce comunque a fare un discorso lungo un mese a FL senza che l'antagonista lo fermi (forse soffriva di narcolessia e si era un attimo appisolato), nonostante lei prima di sparargli lo accusi di avergli ucciso la famiglia e lui non la smentisca pur sapendo la verità (mah! Qui non so proprio cosa dire), ecco, dicevo, NONOSTANTE tutto ciò, la storia è carina e personalmente mi incuriosiva abbastanza da voler vedere come si evolveva nella puntata successiva.
Ripeto: certamente una relazione di violenze e abusi da non prendere ad esempio...ma spero ben che nessuno di noi guardi queste serie per prendere lezioni d'amore!
Che poi, a ben pensarci, in verità ha un suo profondo insegnamento: occhio a covare odio, rancore e vendetta come fa ML perché potrebbe portarti a gesti da cui poi ti sarà difficile tornare indietro, e quello potrebbe diventare il tuo più grande dolore perdendo un bene prezioso. Il perdono è un bel guadagno.
Ultima nota: il finale. Chi lo apprezza, chi no...io amo i lieti fine e se non ci fosse stato lo avrei detestato. Un po' tirato, forse? Forse sì (si saranno giocata la settima vita da gatti), ma il cambio radicale, come se fosse un altro film, mi è piaciuto. Poi gli attori, senza usare una sillaba, sanno esprimere un miscuglio di sentimemti tali che sono stati (secondo me) magistrali...
