Sheeeesh

A drama that ,despite being questionable, always succeeded to make me watch the next episode

this had so much potential to explore the psychological aspects of humans, their emotions as individuals and as their relationship with others.Many different irl situations regarding different emotions and stages of life of flawed characters-not your shining hero like people in the cs expect- were introduced by the WRITER HERSELF yet midway through it she decided to throw it all out for the drama to just be about cheating which was also not portrayed as realistically as it claimed it would. The character of Mido and her choices were sometimes so absurd that it was hard to distinguish whether it was intentional or not, the people in the comments are moral-policing like always, however i am more irritated by the execution of the writing rather than the characters themselves, all of them could have been proper 3-dimentional humans albeit some more toxic than others but i wish there was more purpose behind each of them because we rarely got to see the inner monologue of the individual characters and why they are doing what they are doing. Some had no character development, others that did, it felt too incongruous.

the few things that i liked however:
covering in spoiler tho ik most people would open it anyway
1. Ho separating from mido and her family as a whole and mido assuring him that his survival shouldnt be sth he should regret
2. The stark difference shown between the selfish older brother who kept asking what will happen to them when he leaves vs the younger one being concerned about what will happen to Ho.
3. The flashback of the older brother and his wife separating and him saying "if not for me, stay for our son" showing that he let go of her. This i think was a parallel to the earlier episode where Ho proposed to mido after they broke up, tho it didnt happen but this just goes to show, marriage and kids cant help people stay in love if they dont choose to love each other regardless. If you choose to stay with your partner cause of the legal binding or the betterment of your kids, you are just never gonna be happy, moreso you will began to abhor the person more, and also like they showed here, the wife started to get jealous of her own kid. its important for people to have kids/marry out of love rather than having kids/marry to salvage a dying love.
yeah thats all lol, if i had to write all the things i hated, you will be bored so i will spare you from it but i gotta say i DESPISED how mido cries goddd, the way she bawls is so comical and childlike that the seriousness goes staright out the window.
