strong start that went downhill

The plot started strong and really reeled me in. I absolutely love how they portrayed FL's climb to power and entering the ML's family. There was a perfect amount of tension and romance which was a great build-up and I had high expectations on how they were going to "fight" it out post break-up. It unfortunately fell flat and returned to your typical sappy rom-com filled with avoidable misunderstandings and unrealistic ambitions. Alas, the second couple was a nice supplement to the overall plot.

While it was nice to portray strong female independence - there were simply too many unrealistic moments and plenty of random outbursts that didn't feel very logical to me. As we get to the ML chasing FL back, the plot was too long-winded and draggy - it could have ended in 26eps. There is something very unnatural to me about ML's acting and the quality of dubbing where the dubs do not match their lips. If I had a choice, I would give the first half of the show 9.0 and the second half a 5.0. I only finished it out of my need to always complete a show but it was an absolute bore.
