Superb start, but gradually loses its spark due to poor storytelling
This show could’ve been so good; If it had thrown out most of the supporting characters and the ridiculous storylines that came with them, and instead played up the intense chemistry between the leads while building a strong corporate rivalry/espionage/ takeover storyline within the ML’s family business or his venture capitalist pursuits.
But unfortunately the show completely squandered the potential they had with the leads amazing chemistry and the foundational corporate intrigue for half-assed storytelling, plots that were contrived or uninteresting and a lie/misunderstanding that went on for way too long.
That aside, the way the leads met with the FL “blowing the [ML’s] mind” was wonderful. Their two days together was perfect as was the abrupt ending of their bliss resulting in a dramatic separation. The story that followed was fun, funny but also filled with angst and longing. Absolutely loved how the ML was completely swayed by the FL but remained restrained due to the circumstances he believed to be true.
The angst was so well done from him. But as the show progressed the lie separating the leads became tedious as did the plots surrounding them . The story got so tiresome about halfway through I started FF through episodes. And just when I thought the story was finally going to revisit the fun and sexy that was the lead’s interactions in the first couple of episodes we end up with one being injured and developing amnesia as a result. SMH.
It is unbelievable how a series could start with so much potential only to end up in a state so far below what was expected . It is truly a shame. Overall I’d say this series, disappointingly, is not worth watching, save for the first 2-3 episodes when its potential is at its peak.
