It's a super hot start, but dwindled later on.
This drama actually is on my radar for a while, but i just put it off from watching, not until... i saw an intense tiktok clip that was not even on the show. I guess i got click baited by the hashtags of that post, but still, at least i still got to watch a spicy cdrama.
Well, the story, i very much liked it the first half, but i just got bored in the 2nd half sometimes. The show couldn't keep my attention at times, so i would pause sometimes just to scroll for a bit on my socials. What i kinda figured is that the drama was set up in the beginning to be kinda like fifty shades of grey or at least that's what i got from the beginning, but then as you go through the show, it started shifting its narrative halfway through, it turned from spicy romance into more family and politics-oriented drama, so the romance just kinda got sidelines near the end.
Now, i mentioned i got fifty shades kind of vibe at the beginning, not to that extent of intenseness, but you know FL had this as they've shown a weird hobby where she liked to take naked pictures, but never really went further with that one. I was kinda hoping we would have this back and forth thing from FL and ML where they would do these sketchy things secretly and that's where you take the romance further, but nope. It was all just mild things, to make you excited. Though not gonna lie, the leads got the chemistry, so whenever they had interaction, it would make me giggle, you know.
As for the characters, let's start with FL. In the beginning, i loved her, she's pretty, she's great, loved her strong character, but that strong character backfired on me in the second half, because i started wanting more from her, or more from her actress. I wanted to see more emotions, not just her 2-3 doll like emotes that she would do every so often. Not to be bad or anything, i know that's her character, but i guess it's just me for expecting more from her. ML, i love how he's so obedient to FL hahaha but i love the shift in the dynamic between their relationship as it goes on, so good on that. Love the acting of ML, he's great, and really cute as well, we never really got that much exploration with his character, aside from bits of pieces they've shown in the drama.
Every actor in that drama had good acting, not until the 2nd brother got introduced and i was like "what is this acting? you're the only one that's really off here" but then i realized it was just his character, that's why his acting is like that.
OST, oh my god, the intro song is good, but the thing that i really like is whenever they had a spicy scene, there's this background music that would play where there's a man or woman that would just harmonize along the instrumental, oooohhh, i'm a sucker for those kinds of OSTs.
And yeah, overall, good cdrama, i'm disappointed that it didn't have the scene that i saw from tiktok, but thankful that i got to watch a different recommendation. Good drama and, a good setup of the premise, it's just that they couldn't hold it up until the very end.
