Tale of love & betrayal
This drama appeared on my Youtube dashboard. I am not familiar with the main actor & main actress but was convinced to watch after reading some comments.What I liked:
1) Tone - This drama has serious, gloomy tone so it's different from other dramas filmed vertically.
2) Relationship - Sexual tension is present thorughout the drama because their relationship wasn't smooth sailing. I like the mature handling of the relationship.
What I disliked:
1) Antagonist - I think the 3rd antagonist isn't necessary when there were already 2 antagonists with stronger connection to the leads.
2) Romance - There was more "push" at the start of the relationship so I am surprised by how fast they got together. I couldn't see how FL fell in love with ML so I don't buy the love story. Anyway there is voyeuristic scene which next scene was hot I find.
Favourite scene
When ML & FL first got together.

The main appeal in this drama was noir effect and chemistry between the leads
I watched this because of Song Yujia. The chemistry between her and Shu Tong was good and this drama slightly giving noir effect when i watched this remind me of watching old soap opera about infidelity and this is the appeal of this drama.The plot was quite neat but the ML character was walking red flag and he only got flings about FL never truly loves her, ML initially guides FL to discover her fiancé's infidelity, taking advantage of the situation and forcing her to sign an agreement. However, ML avoids the issue when the FL clarifies their relationship. ML's also hypocritical, having a wife and ex-girlfriend while FL can't eat with his brother and he doesn't give her any status. Even when the "white moonlight" (his love interest) tries to kill FL, he lets her go.
Song Yujia's character in this drama is very traditional; she always feels she provoked ML, and he helps her, with a strong aura—a very realistic character. The younger brother, on the other hand, is quite sunny, honest, and sincere. If the FL hadn't ignored the ML in the first episode, and it's feared his competitive spirit wouldn't have been ignited, none of this would have happened.
Worth to watch if you like noir type of drama.
