2S2L

I can take naive characters. I can handle a certain amount of innocence, but a college graduate should have learned a bit about life. I'm sympathetic to characters with low self-esteem, but I never understood why the FL was like this: she grew up in a stable household with loving, supportive parents. Frankly, it was a struggle for me to finish this drama, as the FL pouted with a boo-boo lip through much of it. I don't allow children around me to act that way; I certainly don't find it appealing with a grown-up. 

It was difficult for me to understand why an intelligent CEO would fall in love with an immature airhead. The explanation that his life was complicated so he was interested in a girl who had a "simple" mind was unconvincing, as if stupid people make life easier (they don't; trust me on this). Even less convincing was the FL getting her CPA certification in a year, when she'd always been a mediocre student. The cherry on the top of the ridiculous sundae was that she started a business with her small-town cousin which became a multi-million dollar company within a year. Sure it did. After all that, FL told the ML she really didn't want to be in business. She only wanted to be his wife. It's not as if she had always dreamed of being a housewife: she couldn't cook and wasn't handy around the house. I suppose she was going to shop and inhabit coffee shops every day like ML's sister, which is fine if you can afford it, but the majority of the show revolved around FL wanting to improve herself and become someone, and that seemed to be discarded.

A huge portion of the plot revolved around FL's illness and resultant damage to her reproductive system. Would the heir marry the airhead if she couldn't produce children? After all the angst, the drama never answered the reproduction question. We never found out if FL had a baby. One can only hope, if she did, that the child inherited the father's mind. 

If your husband continually lies to you, stop believing him. If he forces you to take strong, anti-psychotic medicine when you know you don't need it (and you have proof you aren't hallucinating), he isn't loving, kind, or have your best interests at heart. And if you know your husband is dangerous and a potential murderer, you don't willingly go with him to an abandoned factory. Only a corpse could be more brain dead than this FL. 

Kudos to the ML for giving me the creeps.  Good acting. He redeemed a poorly written script.

As much as I enjoyed this drama, it seems all the characters took turns taking stupid pills which rendered them unable to make sensible decisions. Seong A tells her best friend to avoid her love interest but leaves out the reason why: he's demon possessed. Best friend makes terrible decisions without consulting Seong A which put numerous people's lives at risk. Worst of all, the big villain is taken into the household and given full run of the place when everyone knows she is evil. Do bad things happen as a result? Darn skippy, they do. 

1.  When encountering a drowned person deep in the water, trying to shake them to consciousness is counterproductive. And once on land, screaming their name repeatedly won't be as effective as CPR.
2. When 2FL barges into the corporate office and insists FL sign a contract, any Business 101 student knows that it needs to be taken to legal first to be read, amended, and approved. Before any of that is done, there is NO WAY an outsider is taken into the super-secret vault.
3. FL's father let everyone think the worst when all he had to do was explain, "I didn't cause the accident."
4. It was imperative to keep FL's real identity a secret, so why did ML have her listed in his phone with her real name? Why did her always call out to her with her real name?
5. FL is kidnapped in the back of a taxi. She repeatedly tries to open the door but never tries making a phone call.
6. FL knows her life is in danger. She's been kidnapped (twice) before, but she pursues a similar guy and climbs into a trailer. Of course, she is locked in.
7. It's IMPERATIVE the ML finds his mother's seal if he is going to complete his mission. It's likely FL has it, but he won't ask her for it, because he wants to "protect" her.
8. When FL learns ML needs the seal, she tells him it's at her house and he can come over the next day. No sense of urgency! This is just something that will solve his 17-year dilemma, and if his enemies get it, it's game over.
9. ML didn't follow through in screening the FL, her past, and her family and associates before installing her as the double. The fact ML's henchmen didn't tell him FL's best friend worked at the same company was beyond idiotic; they owed their allegiance to him, and years of planning had gone into the operation.

This is the tip of the moronic iceberg. Even so, Fan Zhi Xin did an admirable job with the script he was given. I hope he gets better dramas.

For heaven's sake, if you receive a phone call from a friend, crying hysterically, who tells you something horrible is happening to your boyfriend, you probably shouldn't sit on a bench, pondering what to do. When you receive another call, from the perpetrator, and you can hear violence and screams in the background, and your boyfriend implores you not to come, your first thought should probably be to call the police or the staff of the wealthy boyfriend who is being terrorized. No, let's don't do that. Let's run into danger, all hundred pounds of girl power, and try to subdue a gangster and a sociopath with a stern warning. 

People lied when the truth would have been simpler and better. The ML's best friend and the woman who loved him didn't trust him with the truth. Everyone conspired to keep the ML ignorant, when he was the one person with the riches and networking skills who could have solved everything neatly. He was independently wealthy; he could have hired detectives, computer techs, and specialists to find people, ferret out the truth, protect the innocent, and guard against the guilty. It was painful to watch the FL flail in her stupidity.  I wanted to like her, but the writer made her incredibly gullible and undeniably dense, because, let's admit it, the drama would have been about 4 episodes long if she'd had any sense.

The leads were charming, and the story was engaging. But, let's not tell each other who we think the killer is, and, for heaven's sake, let's split up and make certain he has a fair chance at killing one of us.  And if we know where a catastrophe is to happen (because we've been to the future and witnessed it), let's don't avoid that area.  Let's make certain we're there to meet our fate. Bad things happen in life, but they happen more frequently to characters who have to share a lonely brain cell.  

FL continually placed herself in danger. She trusted her sister, when she knew she was in league with the known villain, and was kidnapped. She went to the villain's house to confront him after he killed her sister,  which gave him the opportunity to poison her; he leveraged receiving the antidote as a means to destroy ML. FL later went off by herself in the woods when she knew the villain was searching for them, was captured, and allowed the villain to demand the life of the ML.
