Ah, the irony—you're here reading my opinion, which, last I checked, is as valid as yours.

Finally, someone who sees it like I do... I had to drop this drama—between the silly plot, the low-quality acting, and the FL’s 80s fringe paired with that babyish voice, it was just too much. I randomly checked the rating today, and honestly, not surprised it keeps dropping. Felt like everyone else was watching a completely different show. I’ve started The Prisoner of Beauty instead—first five episodes are promising and refreshingly grounded, far from the over-satirized mess of this one.

Loving how this drama pulls you in without resorting to forced satire or exaggerated tropes. The storyline is compelling, the atmosphere feels authentic, and thankfully, no overacted comedy or those painfully squeaky 'childlike' female voices. Just solid performances and a plot with real weight.

Thank you for the lol 😂

No offense to the FL, but her bangs here are killing me. I'm sorry... but I can't get past the childish voice & 80's bangs! 😭

Layla, I appreciate your perspective, and I agree that trauma is complex, often dictating actions in ways that may not seem rational to an outsider. However, my issue isn’t with the idea that Wen Yifan acted irrationally due to fear—it’s with how the narrative handled that irrationality.

You’re absolutely right that trauma isn’t something you can simply “choose” to get over, and healing isn’t linear. But acknowledging that doesn’t mean we should abandon accountability in storytelling. The way a character’s actions are written should still align with the emotional and psychological groundwork the narrative has built. Wen Yifan was initially portrayed as someone determined to fight for herself and those she cared about, making her sudden departure feel more like a convenient plot device than an organic development. The presence of trauma doesn’t mean a character’s choices have to be predictable, but they do have to feel earned within the story.

As for the cat—while I understand your point that people in distress sometimes detach from things they love, this moment wasn’t framed as a nuanced exploration of trauma’s impact on decision-making. Instead, it came across as an abrupt contradiction to how deeply she cared for her pet earlier in the series. The problem isn’t that she left the cat behind—the problem is that the writing didn’t meaningfully engage with that decision. If the show had taken a moment to acknowledge the emotional weight of her leaving her pet, it could have strengthened the realism of her struggle rather than making it feel like an overlooked inconsistency.

Additionally, while I understand that survivors of sexual harassment often fear seeking legal action due to systemic failures, this doesn’t change the fact that reporting is still crucial. It’s not just about personal justice—it’s about preventing future harm. Abusers thrive in silence, and while it’s never the survivor’s fault for being afraid, the legal system only has the chance to improve if more cases are brought forward. Every report adds pressure for reform and increases the likelihood that repeat offenders are held accountable. The fear and distrust survivors feel toward the system are valid, but acknowledging these barriers should go hand in hand with advocating for change, not resigning to inaction.

Ultimately, my disappointment isn’t that Wen Yifan made an illogical choice—it’s that the script didn’t do enough to explore the emotional and psychological complexity behind that choice. Realism isn’t just about depicting trauma accurately; it’s about ensuring that the character’s journey is narratively cohesive.

I agree with everything you’ve said, and I’d add a couple more things. I was really disappointed with the way they wrote her character in the last few episodes. First, she tells her family—right in front of her uncle—that she’s going to fight until the end, and then she just leaves? She walks away and leaves a note without any explanation for someone who has given their all to be with her and help her.

Trauma leaves deep scars, and she clearly has more than enough. But at this stage in life, she should seek professional help (a therapist), talk to her best friend, and as you mentioned, the uncle has no money, and the right and sensible thing to do would be to go to the police and report him so that no one else has to go through what she did.

I’ve enjoyed almost every episode, but at some point in life, instead of running away, you have to face your fears. As I said, seeing a psychologist, talking to friends, opening up to your partner about what’s going on, and stopping with the vague answers or avoiding important topics—especially ones that don’t just affect her but everyone around her.

And let’s not forget something—she abandoned her pet. Someone who fought so hard for her cat at the start just leaves it behind. It makes no sense, unless she feels incapable of looking after a pet. I’ll say it again—go and seek professional help. These inconsistencies in the script honestly disappoint me. I hope there’s a good change. She needs to love herself first and heal from all those wounds.

She is a deeply psychopathic character, completely devoid of empathy. My first shock with her came when she cold-bloodedly murdered the doctor who had treated her. She also has strong sadistic tendencies, taking pleasure in the pain of others and killing purely for the thrill of it. She is, without a doubt, utterly evil, irredeemable in my eyes.

I find this drama quite refreshing. I like the idea of a sisterhood of women fighting to find their place in a patriarchal world. There are some people who don't like the slow-burn romance, but fortunately, that's exactly what I enjoy—the step-by-step journey to falling in love.

The music in the drama is absolutely beautiful.

Sorry, I thought I was replying to the comment above by Fantum. My sincerest apologies.

For a moment, I thought I was reading something written by Goebbels. Comments like yours are disgusting, and I hope it gets reported for racism. Oh, and you can shove your ratings up your racist arse.

Yes, dear, take a break. You deserve it. Let’s leave it here then. Have a good day

I thought you said you weren’t going to respond to my comments? You’re still repeating the same points. Perhaps stepping away from this site for a few hours would do you some good. At no point have I said you can’t criticise—I’ve only criticised the fact that you’re criticising those protesting in whatever way they can.

This topic shouldn’t be keeping you up at night, and I say this with all due respect. A mediocre show isn’t worth getting this upset over. Feel free to comment as you wish; I would never limit anyone’s freedom of speech.

And I’m telling you that people are protesting in the only way available to them, and that shouldn’t concern you. This is the internet, where freedom of expression applies to every platform. Whether there are fake accounts or not is irrelevant. People are using what they have to make their voices heard, and quite frankly, that’s none of your business.

If you enjoyed the series, that’s fine. But you don’t need to repeatedly criticise others for raising issues like fake accounts or ratings. It’s irrelevant. You’re not the administrator of this site, and the actual administrators are unlikely to close the comments section—because they probably understand exactly what I'm talking about.

Let people protest, let them speak, and focus on the real horrors unfolding in the world, rather than trivialising them in favour of a show. If that makes you uncomfortable, perhaps it’s because this is a reality that demands discomfort. I don't need an answer...

I’m going to reply to you for the last time; the next thing I’ll do is report you for spam. I’ve watched all 12 episodes, and whether I watched 1, 3, or 10 shouldn’t matter to you one bit, whether I finish it or not, whether I rate it or not. Capisce? I watch whatever the hell I feel like because that’s what I pay for—Netflix, Viki, Disney, Max, and other platforms. I PAY FOR THEM! And some nobody who regurgitates absurd justifications over and over again isn’t going to tell me what to do with my bloody free time or my bloody money. So piss off and stop bothering others. Or better yet, go annoy those who share your bloody opinion. I made it very clear above that in Spain, we have no issues with the subtitles. I hope the rating drops to 5 tomorrow and keeps going down. Good night, and stop being a pain.

While the producers may not care about kisskh specifically, public sentiment often begins in small, concentrated spaces. Criticism builds momentum, and when it becomes widespread—especially internationally—it’s harder to ignore. Platforms like this contribute to the larger discourse, influencing perceptions and holding creators accountable. If enough voices speak out, even giants like Netflix take notice, as public opinion directly impacts viewership and reputation. No effort is too small in challenging harmful propaganda.

The first 3 episodes went by so fast for me. I loved it, It is exactly what I'm looking for.

If someone doesn’t agree with your opinion on something doesn’t mean you should make absurd remarks to them. You can address whatever it is with good tone. Maybe this place is not the best place for you if you have a problem with people expressing their opinions. BTW, I will go and watch it if I want to. None of your business.

I’m really struggling to finish ep2. FL's voice just doesn’t sit right on my ears. Just saying this objectively, the sound of her voice is really hard to tolerate.
