What? Why are you lying and creating false expectations for people who have not watched it yet?

This is no rom-com and there is no "real" romance much less what could be considered a happy ending. It is a dark drama with amazing acting, an anti-hero female lead and a disappointing ending.

I made a correction. The intro flashes so many scenes that some created a scenario in my mind that never happens. I was pretty sure she would be in a mental institution at some point.

Unless they are planning on a second season, that was a pretty crappy ending for what was otherwise one of the best kdramas I have watched in a while. Even if there is a second season, I still found that ending trash if I'm being honest. There were loose ends, people that were not held accountable. I never read the webtoon this is based on but from what I read about it the ending of the webtoom seems to be more logical than the one we got from the drama.

I gave it a hight rating since it was a solid drama for like the first 8 episodes or so and the acting was amazing. It seems like no matter if the kdrama is 16 or 12 episodes long, the writers still find ways to mess up the last 4 episodes as usual.

I don´t remember exactly when but about 10 episodes before the last episode? He actually gets his memories back at some point but we as viewers only find out when the 2 guys that worked for him finally come across him. This is something I though would happen around episode 10 or so but they dragged the amnesia plot for the longest time. ^^'

Episode 7 was a turning point. So far she had only been hurting people who either did something to her or kinda had it coming(her boss was an exception, justified by the dire situation she was in). There was some collateral damage too (like the male lead and the friend) but it was not like she was intentionally doing anything to hurt them. But in episode 7 we start to see completely innocent people be the target of her sociopathic behaviour and suffering real consequences.

Not that her behavior before this was justifiable but I could feel empathy for her. Now I am only sitting and waiting to see how far she will go to keep her "happiness" and then her downfall. I no longer feel any empathy for her.

Your comment made me laugh after being infuriated for like 10 minutes.

We are the joke. 🤡

I knew there was a high chance the male lead would die, specially when Ren Jia Lun was the actor chosen to play him. But to kill EVERYONE but the brother, really?

What was the point of the main leads not working together to bring down Du Ting Xin? Have they not learned their lesson by now? Just communicate. Why were she and her friend going around doing their own thing like dumb teenagers? Had there been communication between the couples, which is what you would expect, and all those deaths could have been prevented.

This is why I have a problem with the writing. The writers just decided they wanted a tragic ending and for that they were willing to sacrifice the plot and make the characters have no common sense. If this was a bad drama from the start I would not be so mad, but I saw potential in it so for them to give us such bad last episodes and such a dumb tragic ending is really infuriating.

I really hoped it would get better and at some point it did, the misunderstandings were cleared, they were happy, then the last 10 episodes or so happened and this just became a huge circus. And they even ended it in a way as if they thought they had created the biggest masterpiece ever.

The acting was great but the writers really dropped the ball on this one. They had a good cast, a nice ost, what seemed like a pretty decent budget but the writing was disappointing. If they had not ruined it with last 10 episodes or so, I would have still given this a high rating. I would have considered everything else, including the dragged misunderstandings, as something needed for plot and character development.

If there is one lesson I take from this is that lack of communication can bring a nation down, literally. Sigh

Same. There is a good one here and there but a lot of them are too superficial now, specially short dramas.

A good plot is everything. The acting might be great, the actors might be easy on the eyes and the outfits and props might look expensive, but if the plot is not interesting, I will just have it playing on the background and depending on how busy I am, I might even drop it.

They failed at keeping us interested in the plot, I felt bored many times. They had a good cast and did not seem to have a low budget. But the plot itself was not that great. A lot of the times it felt like nothing was happening.

The cast and acting were at regular drama level but unfortunately the way the plot was told felt like there were many dead moments, I felt bored several times. The ending was also meh.

If they had worked on the storytelling and given us a better ending, this would have been one of the best short dramas out there.

The FL kisses the ML during childbirth to make the switch so he has to endure the pain of childbirth instead of her.

Nothing memorable aside from the ending. As a woman I liked what they did there. XD

The start, although nothing special, was decent. But after watching 2 or 3 episodes I started losing interest and kept skipping scenes. The ending was bland and left me with a feeling that watching this was a waste of time.

Their YouTube channel used to have the same shitty subs, but I have not been watching anything from them for years because I had come across way to many badly subbed dramas to know to not even try. Maybe they got better but I find it weird that they would put out decent subs on YouTube and not on their app.

Although the ending was a bit messy, which is kind of expected from this kind of drama, the ride there was entertaining. I did not expect to be this invested when I started it nor did I expect to be tearing up for several episodes in a row at some point. ^^'

The romance is very subtle, so I believe it should have a "slight romance" tag instead of the romance genre. I have no idea how I did not come across this one earlier.

Probably where kisskh subs are coming from since mgtv is well known for using machine generated translations instead of real people.

Honestly, he did what we all wanted to do. We were so tired of all these misunderstandings dragging for so long. ^^'
