GOOD BUT NOT MY STYLE
If I could speak for the majority, I'd say this drama was good. I will explain in awhile why i didn't like it as much.
First, it had all the elements and clichès that a typical kdrama has (contract marriage, rich dude poor girl, ml saving damsel in distress, rich fam feud and etc) and I must say, it did remind me so much of the days when I would watch kdrama purely for the delusion and fun of it all. This drama was honestly an episode turner, it was bingeworthy and I wasn't bored at all.
However, for me personally, I did think it lacked substance, emotions, and feelings. It had all the perfect elements, plot, and thrill set up but I couldnt figure out what was missing.
While I like FL, and have watched her dramas in the past, I do agree with some of the reviews here saying she really has to improve her acting. It was good but I know she could really do so much better. She had the same downturned eyebrow expression the entire series and her crying was a little dead (idk ig i'm so used to watching dramas with heavy criers like park boyoung, kim go eun and shin hye sun) there is ofcourse always room for improvement.
And they totally botched that ending too. I was so confused with the last ep. It felt like the producers/writers tried so hard to make this drama so extravagant that it became too much and ruined the drama. A calm satisfying ending would have sufficed.
I'm still giving this a 7.5 for a plot though. This drama would be best for watchers who just started kdrama.
