Bad, but somehow entertaining

This series follows the classic "poor girl, rich guy" story, but the execution is flawed. The male lead’s behavior is indefensible: he constantly forces her into situations, grabs her arm, and even takes away her passport and phone. The show tries to frame this as "protection" or "interest," but in reality, it is a complete lack of respect for her freedom.

On the other hand, the female lead has no agency. She starts off as a woman with goals, but ends up being just an ornament, moving according to what the men around her decide.

My Conclusion

It is a superficial story full of cheap soap opera clichés and questionable behavior. However, I admit it was addictive. I watched most of it almost without realizing it (though eventually, I got tired and finished it just out of commitment). It’s the kind of show that doesn't have many positives, but it fulfills its purpose of being entertaining to a certain point.
