The story introduces serious emotional damage but treats it like a minor inconvenience
Decided to give this a shot since it has a “high rating”. There are things about this series that just didn’t work for me.The series touches on betrayal, manipulation, financial loss, and broken trust. These are deeply personal experiences that are not easily resolved. Yet instead of allowing those emotions to breathe, the story rushes past them. Conflict is introduced, but before the audience can fully process it, it is brushed off with humor or playful moment/banter. This creates a disconnect that makes the emotional stake feel shallow.
What is frustrating is that the actors actually deliver a good performances, and there are moments where the emotional tension could have landed. However, the pacing undercuts everything. Forgiveness happens too quickly, consequences feel minimal, and the narrative does not allow space for grief, anger, or reflection.
I get that it’s a rom-com, but that doesn’t mean the emotions have to feel this rushed. The humor just feels out of place sometimes, especially when it cuts into serious moments.
It had potential, but it needed to slow down and let the story breathe a bit more. The performances carried, but the writing really didn’t.
