Sassy FL in a hot mess.
10/10 for FL
10/10 for chemistry
5/10 for half-baked, immature, weak ML
2.5/10 for indecisive scumbag SML
I felt like FL's dialogues and the overall script + SML character + ML character are written by 2 different people.
I absolutely loved how bold, strong and independent FL is, both by words and actions. She has trauma but is not beaten down by it. She is shown to take pills for depression and anxiety, shaky hands but she beats anyone who blames her for being SA. She doesn't take anyone's crap (except ML's grandma).
For someone like that, a more complementary ML character, who is not necessarily a rich, domineering CEO / prince of some conglomerate but stable and mature is needed.
But the ML here lacks a backbone. He's the kind of person she needs to babysit. Moreover, his feelings rooted to gratitude.
The poorly written ML character didn't compliment her. Especially from the moment he was recognised by Ruan family.
Since he's the only male to continue Ruan family line, whether it's now or 5yrs ago, he is fully capable of taking a stand for himself and her. Moreover, he doesn't believe in his own ability to build himself from scratch? How did he plan to make her happy in long-term if he wasn't from Ruan family? Relying on face and body. LoL!
He could persist through poverty but can't resist his suddenly found relative. He didn't even realise his newly found grandma is stepping on FL's trauma.
Even his friend pointed out, if he wants to develop, why go abroad? Why leave her alone to suffer, to deal with shit?
He didn't know she has a son and is being ridiculed by everyone. He brought her house, knew she is bankrupt but didn't realise she must be having hard time without anyone on her side. He didn't even bother to tell her he brought the house and that she can continue to live there. He didn't ask anyone to check on her for entire 5 yrs.
Glad she didn't take him in immediately after coming back (well she did but she didn't, iykyk) He really planned to win her just by showing fireflies in the place where she picked him up 5 yrs ago.
But as expected, it's a stereotypical c-drama, her kid wants the biological father, coz he's handsome & gentle/kind, definitely takes after the mother.
The scriptwriter, as usual, used the troupe of evil half-sister, unreasonable parents of FL, pregnancy out-off wedlock, child asking for father, FL being accepted by grandma for the kid. DÃMÑ the person who ruined it all for me.
The FL is amazing and she needed someone who can bring her comfort and healing. But the ML character here only seems to bring her more responsibilities and trouble.
One tiny plus is, her half-sister and ML's fiance were kicked into the prison.
