No Toxic Love, No Overdone Villains—Just a Drama That Feels Right

When I started watching this drama, I didn’t have sky-high expectations—mainly because the cast isn’t exactly a trending hashtag in most countries. But wow, I was so wrong. First off, the acting? Surprisingly good! Like, “wait, why am I suddenly emotionally invested?” good. I loved the mutual support between the leads—it’s not just the FL cheering for the ML, he’s also right there being her biggest fan. And the so-called villains? Shockingly human. No over-the-top evil laughter, just characters learning to accept their fate like mature adults (imagine that!).

Even the earlier villains had understandable backstories—no “I’m evil because I like it” nonsense. The romance? Blessedly non-cringe. No dramatic slow-motion stares, no twirling into each other’s arms like an '80s music video. And best of all? No annoying jealousy plots where the second male lead ruins everything. The relationship feels stable, refreshing, and—dare I say—healthy. I especially loved how the FL stood by the ML when he had to leave the country, and that moment of her waiting for him? Heart. Melted.

There’s honestly so much more to love, but I’ll stop before this turns into a novel. Just know: you should definitely watch it.
