I found this pairing super refreshing. Pat is like a protective mother hen. She's a fierce and and fashionable single mother. She doesn't really fall under the typical n'ek tropes. She's strong and not afraid to fight back. The main couple complement each other very well.
The main character is a total psycho. I'm particularly talking about how he stalks, kidnaps, and rapes the girl. And then afterwards locks her up in a cage and walks away whistling with a smile on his face. I'm so pissed off at the ending. He didn't learn anything! He only got the girl cuz he got her pregnant and they made it seem like she would be a terrible mother if she raised her child fatherless. I wished she flew away and never saw him again. He didn't repent his actions at all and still acted like the same possessive jerk that he was.
About 1/3 of this drama was just cat fights and girls being catty. Had to fast forward through those parts. Since this is a remake, it seems like the writers acknowledged how psychotic some of the characters were and exaggerated these traits so that you know it's ridiculous.
Wish they hadn't badly edited Kai Ko out. The movie would've been so much better without all that terrible editing. Other than that, it was a good wrap up of the movie series.
The show was all over the place. They built the whole story over the concept of two destined for each other, but…
I agree, that ending was so confusing and a complete mess. I guess it's one of the open endings where you choose to believe what you want to believe. Does the fact that the two necklaces are now joined mean that they met? I know Wang So at one point said that if Shin Yeol were really dead she would have died with the necklace on her body, so idk. This drama ended up being a total disappointment. I'm going to choose to believe that they met and they ended up together just so I can be done and move on with this drama.
Finally finished it! The main issue I had with this series was the plot and script. At times it felt like the plot had no direction and there were a lot of plot holes. However, the Viki live comments for this series were golden. I would recommend watching this drama for that alone.
Fantastic lakorn. Great cast, good acting. Also, It was just fun. A great romcom that has nothing really triggering or super serious in it. I really enjoyed it a lot.
