A very adult, sexy romantic drama with a reverse cinderella plot . .
This is almost like a 'highlight reel' of romantic steamy setups strung together with a plot. If you are a fan of angst, rescuing, attracted to the enemy, doomed romance etc., this has basically every trope available. I also like that the female lead is the wealthy one and the aggressor.
The dynamics reminded me a lot of the K-Drama Queen of Tears, and the main female lead even looks and is styled similar to the one in this show. But whilst Queen of Tears was a couple immature, frozen, unable to touch, this was the opposite. In Bound by Sin they can't keep their hands off each other.
I always appreciate a drama where the adults act like adults: they have adult concerns and they form adult relationships. So, this was a breath of fresh air.
Despite the low production values, the thinly sketched out plot, the hastily put together ending, and a lot of over the top drama. I enjoyed this much more than many long format prestige series.
