Didn’t Sit Right With Me

I've already watched a lot of vertical and short series, so I didn’t have many expectations from the story itself. What I was really hoping for was strong performances from the actors and they did deliver on that front. The cast is talented, and they portrayed their characters well.

However, when it came to execution, I had certain expectations, and that’s where things fell short. Sometimes the writing felt plain stupid, making me question if the drama was even worth continuing.

For example, why was the female lead shown sympathizing with the evil female lead who had wronged her? That didn’t sit right with me. Also, when the female lead suddenly revealed her secret to the male lead, it didn’t feel natural it came out of nowhere and lacked flow.

The male lead’s sudden attraction to the female lead also felt rushed, probably a result of limited time. But it didn’t feel organic.

some places i felt FL was lacked in performance.

Even the kiss scene felt forced, like the actors were trying hard not to touch each other and just doing it because the director told them to not because it made sense for the characters.

All in all, I’m dropping this one. It just didn’t work for me.
