Fifty shades of embarrassment
This is my second ( or third I can't remember) watch, which is why I have a lot to say about it.
First I totally understand the hate the FL is getting because her character is a bit too much for sane people not to want to slap some sense to her.
Acting
It was on point from the two leads, everyone was great, all characters good and bad were great even side characters with small roles were good.
Eric shines in roles as a brooding silent guy who is heartbroken and rarely smiles, be that as it may his changes when he is in love is noticeable and I like him here, the FL carries the whole freakin drama on her shoulders, she gave us funny, she gave us sad, jealous, broken, hopeless, brave, idiot.... Everything.
Characters
The two leads characters were just too grey
We are used to good leads with great moral compass and badass characters while those two are very human with terrible decisions and questionable behaviour.
The FL is a hopeless romantic with a broken heart who is too weak to the least amount of kindness, pride? Non existent I know that would piss many people off, but I've seen people like her.
Have you ever seen a person making insane decision while being in love? I did, they are crazy but real.
Now I'm not defending her but I understand the character.
The ML too, the only bad thing he did was when he destroyed the wedding.
A mistake? Yes sure, a huge one, he deserves a slap, or two, maybe a few more for ruining someone's whole life for a year.
But I see no one looking at his childhood, upbringing, his trauma-driven cold behaviour, his remorse, his regrets, his broken heart. Yes he keep making one mistake after another but he always says the reason behind it, he is getting too many hate for being a real human being.
Now the story
It's kinda messy, if you don't like messy and surprising love stories with questionable characters' ethics just skip this, if you are in for the drama you will enjoy it.
Personally, I'm not a fan of melodramas but the comedic relief in this is spectacular, every single character has a funny moments, all of them gave us drama and comedy
The ML family, his sister, his brother with the crazy GF, his lawyer best friend, his working team, the FL parents, her co-workers, the FL herself ... Everyone was great 👍 and funny moments were great.
I may not laugh at all of them but I had some moments where I laughed.
It simply gave us a bit of everything, fun, drama, suspense, a tiny bit of fantasy, and that's why I like it.
Highly recommended ~
