Terrible, through and through.
This was one of the biggest disappointments in this years kdrama land to me. I had some expectations but it under delivered at every front i just can't believe what i just watched.
At the start they preface that we should think that these two people like each other, to me it didn't seem like it for more than half of the drama. ML just took everything FL threw at him and smile through it. It made it seem that ML has no agency, he was only vessel for FL to build her character up. He really only got 1 episode to build his character and it was at almost end of the whole drama.
They committed worst mistake you could do in romance drama. They made one of the leads unlikable. FL was unlikable from the start, that's not to say you can't make unlikable characters but they can't just be unlikable, they have to also be some one to root for, in this drama FL was just straight up unlikable without any other redeeming traits.
Story was mess of its own. Synopsis and start of the drama hinted about the twin but honestly he was side note in the whole drama until previously mentioned 1 episode which was MLs episode. So basically ''biggest'' plot device was just forgotten completely. Instead they brought this lawyer who suddenly decided to pray on our FL and honestly i was very uncomfortable how he abused his position as a lawyer to advance his relationship with his clients opponent. He should be disbarred and investigated for abuse of power. Not to mention this drama really didn't need triangle as those are plot devices to advance romance plot but we and FL already knew how ML felt so it was completely pointless.
This drama also should've ended at 10 episodes, episode 9 was completely filler ( with said lawyer, yikes) and episodes 11-12 were filler with destroying second couples relationship until they ran out of episode 12 when they decided to hold wedding for them, like what? That was so obviously terrible writing i really don't know what to say about that even. (with lawyer again, yikes.)
So props to this whole drama, i've not had this much emotion watching dramas in last months as i had hatewatching this, this was trainwreck that just didn't stop at any point. Terrible 4,5/10 would never watch again.
