It is a very questionable drama
I am pretty late in reviewing this show because I recently came across it and without even realising I binge watched all the episodes despite it having so many questionable moments and morally grey decisions on the part of our two main leads. It is a story about two couples who are in existential crisis because they are sort of cheating their partners but do not want to admit it at the same time yet still yearns for each other but still would not come out clean with their other halves. Sigh*
I mean this drama would have been something else if the story was not involving the main leads but their partners, then it would have been a revenge drama and then they wouldn't have justified their actions like that. The first two episodes were honestly...hard to watch, and I thought where is this going? How am I supposed to like a ML who is like THIS! But story took another turn and he told his side of story after SO MANY episodes (it took him some time aright) but you are still like...meh.
The SFL, she was so pathetic to watch. I mean generally I despise such clingy sort of characters but at least actress did justice to the role. Despite doing so much for ML she was like a third wheel all the time and I did not find anything likeable about her damsel sort of behaviour who just want to remain a wallflower all her life willingly and for what? (A man who hadn't talked to her properly in the last10yrs.)
SML on the other hand could not even do that either. His acting skills weren't really great to emote anything to begin with and they even tried all their best so that viewers could hate his character yet he was the least intersting character in this whole drama. Storyline had so many flaws and too many coincidences that began to irk me after a while but it was a 2019 drama so I thought from that perspective as well...it was the time where such dramas were in vogue. (Forced relationship sort). Now you may wonder despite everything why did I watch it? It is simply because of the acting and chemistry of main leads. They could have done so much to make it all seem alright, we would have hated the second lead from the beginning but they spend so much time showing how good they were and that ultimately made main leads look pathetic instead. The best character was FL's best friend/roommate. She was a total blast I just wished they shouldn't have tried to mould her into normal standards towards the end and should have tried to give her an arc but the drama was only about main leads so...rest of cast did not matter.
It had so many flaws and frustrating prolonged sequences yet the main actors held the attention throughout the drama. I just wish they could have given more substance to story than making it only an angsty torture.
