It seems that the female lead is consistently cast in these kinds of roles. Stubborn, unwilling to listen to anyone, lacks staying power, feisty. Its almost as if she is stereotype cast in her roles. I wish we could see her play something else for a change. It’s not that a show can’t have a lead with that personality- and it fit the story that was written but it tends to get old fast.

I was looking forward to this show, being a fan of both leads, and had high hopes. However I ended up skipping at times when we got stuck record repeats of the same dialogues and behavior. To the point where she was coming across obnoxious and our male lead was just being used or abused by her. I got to thinking even if she softens up and decides to love him back - it didn’t feel like a hea type relationship I’d want to be in or something that couod past long term. You kind of need that in a drama for a feel good ending.

That aside, I enjoyed the other actors in this show. They were well written and fun. I really wanted to see the two seconds Esther and the guy who liked FL (can’t remember his name) come together because the chemistry was there. The friend group was solid, and through their anxiousness for ML it was clear they knew ge had loved her unconditionally the years she was gone and were not on board for her abusive way she came back in to his life.

For our male lead he was styled and acted perfectly- he came across younger than his role in Marry My Husband (which was brilliant) and extremely kind and quiet. Sadly though, amd maybe thats what they were going for, he acts like a doormat for most the show. Constantly at the mercy of what FL wants or doesn’t want. Its a turn off and why I took off a couple of stars.

Much better than Melo Movie though fpr sure.
