Who is good and who is bad?

The series wonderfully shows how multifaceted a family can be and how differently everyone perceives it.
The dynamic between the three older sisters and the youngest makes you curious for more. You can really immerse yourself in the story, and I thought it was wonderful that each sister had her own story. The story was exciting and had some good twists to keep you gripped while watching.
The male characters were all more in the background, but they had an important impact that added more details to the story.
The acting was really good, and overall, it was a really good plot.
Unfortunately, I have to say that the ending didn't completely grab me, but maybe there will be a second season. I have the feeling it's a series with a lot of potential for more.
Nonetheless I highly recommended it.

It was okay nothing special

First of all, I have to admit I'm not a big Kristsingto fan, but I still really liked their chemistry. It felt real.

Still, I have to admit that I often found the story boring, and some dramatic elements felt exaggerated or too extreme compared to the rest. The whole island story was a bit over the top for me. I have to say that I hate it 9 out of 10 times when a time skip happens because it almost always makes no sense. Two years of a long-distance relationship doesn't mean you don't see each other for two years; I can hardly imagine that a relastionship would survive a two years separation.

What was up with those two girls? I didn't get it because at one point I thought they were a side couple, but they never became one, but they acted as if they were. It was just weird. I couldn't quite relate to either character, which was a shame because I actually found them both interesting.

Still, there were some really nice moments that drew me in. Overall, it was okay.

It is really good but not perfect

It took me a long time to watch this series. First of all, the chemistry is really good and you really got into it. I didn't understand the argument between the two departments at all and it was a bit too brutal for me.
At first I thought the story got progressively more intense but I didn't like the ending at all. Why did four years go by, why didn't they change in the dynamics of the two families? It just didn't feel logical. Despite that, it's a pretty okay plot with good chemistry, so it's worth watching. I can understand why a lot of people are fans of it, but in terms of plot, it's unfortunately not a masterpiece.

What a Mess

First things first: There's one episode that's just not okay and shows a completely wrong image. I would have given the series a much higher rating if that hadn't happened. Dino is drugged and sexually harassed, and to an absolutely horrific extent. It's not handled well in the series, which is simply unacceptable. Drugging is really more than just flirting, and even if the victim is a man, that doesn't mean it's okay. If you decide to include such a sensitive topic, then please do it properly and not like that. An absolute no-go.

Otherwise, the story was okay, I'd say. There were definitely a few ups and downs. Dino is really more of a frustraiting than a great main character, even though I did like his backstory with his sister. The last episode was a complete waste of time. The grandfather aiming his gun and then everyone acting like nothing happened is completely unrealistic and stupid.
At least the actors did a good job, but otherwise it was a complete disaster.
I'm sorry, but I don't recommend it at all.

What a great Show

I admit, I only started watching the series because of Joss. I thought he was playing a bad guy and was curious.
The story actually captivated me quickly, and I thought the structure of the story was very good. All of the characters, even Giwi, had moments where I could connect with them and empathize with them. I was most drawn to the relationship between Eve and Mim. The two women, who had such different experiences and backgrouds, startet as superficial friendships but ultimately as true friends, really resonated with me.
The theme of the rich versus the poor and the system also resonated with me.
Overall, a very good series with lots of plot twists.

What a Drama

First, I have to say that this series is really intense and needs a strong trigger warning.
When I started watching the series, I didn't expect it to be so dark.
The main characters have all experienced or witnessed something dramatic. The darkness of the series is sometimes too intense, and as an empathetic person, it's almost unbearable.

Meen gets so much pain, even though she's actually the most innocent. She was my favorite character and I hoped she'd get a happy ending, but her ending is so harsh. I didn't see it coming that Pitch had done something bad as well and I couldn't get over it.
The ending is a bit too dark for me, but that's why it's realistic, unfortunately.
I have to give a huge compliment to the actors in general; it was truly incredible how good each and every one of them was. However, I have to single out Pat for special mention. Her performance was brilliant and Oscar-worthy. Wow, huge compliment.
Finally, I would like to say that the series is really good, but you need a really thick skin for it.

I really don‘t know what to think

Phew, it's difficult to rate this show. There were some really good scenes that had an impact and captivated me. Annie was such a great and multifaceted character; it was fun to watch her development. Chris Horwang was brilliant and brought the role to life.

Sometimes the comedy aspect didn't work for me.

Unfortunately, I also have to say that I found most of the dances more cringe-worthy than sexy. I'm an absolute Joss fan and think he's a great actor, but I don't believe he's a good dancer, I'm so sorry. It worked every now and then, but rarely. I don't want to say anything against the actors; dancing is so difficult, and choreographies like that are so hard, and i believe they brought out the best they could.

My biggest criticism, however, is the role of Kampan. I thought it didn't work. I don't know if it was the actor, director, or writer, but the character was so unpleasant and unbuyable. I say that even though I know what a good actor Earth is.

Nevertheless, I can say that as a whole, I really enjoyed the show and had a lot of fun watching it.
