When I started the Drama EPs 1-10 or so I was SO STOKED!! WOW finally adults who seem to be behaving like adults (especially around being physically attracted to each other).
!!SPOILER !!
I was so WOW when in such an early episode (SO UNUSUAL for DRAMA-WORLD) the ML zoomed in for the kiss and then she pulled him back in for a deeper kiss. PHEW!! I LIKE when women have agency and ability to respond with their own intense reaction to intimacy.
And the way it was framed by the camera - the lighting!! The ninety degrees of lip and face alignment - the SEXIEST SIDE KISS EVER - SIZZLE HOTTTT!!
I was like WOKAY .. BRING IT ON!!
Then WHAT happened .. the ML's kid sister and various people kept walking in juts as they got sexy again .. tooo MANY times to be funny or fun any more .. Extremely annoying and contrived.
The biggest let down that happened was that the magical physical intimacy *chemistry* completely disappeared mid-show onwards. As did their own relationship arc ..
The show got confused between 'women's issues / family dynamics issues / man-woman relationship issues' . It lost it's way so badly that started to sound like a Public Good Advertorial on :
~ how to be careful when marrying / ~ to recognise signs of domestic abuse / ~ to beware of online dating App and websites / ~ to beware of money-scammers / ~ to go to a therapist for resolving issues (although I'd be SO WARY of a weird therapist like the one the show in this drama).
It was splotchy with disjointed bits of nice stuff - what the screenplay needed was a GOOD editor and several DRAFTS of reworking .. it WAS so LAZY ,, did the writer just fall asleep?
The FL who was SO good in her role (BTW she is in Three Body) .. started to drone on and on and she was made to just TALK TALK TALK .. For large portions of the drama the ML just vanished.
One of the things that BOTHERED me a LOT was the heckling of the "guy who ghosted" his date. That came out ALL wrong!! I was like what is with the vigilantism and bullying?! To post-justify the act was ridiculous!!
Would have made SO MUCH more sense had they confronted him / his agency BECAUSE they FOUND out about him being married and the company using MEN to fake as 'eligible' bachelors. THIS way it made our FL look UGH ;-( and demented as did her office people!! Such THUGS they were reduced to.
Same creepy feel about the Therapist. WHY would he PAINT and redecorate a room JUST for ONE patient!!! HELLO ?? What was with this constant expressing his attention and availability for her, and her only .. he seemed to have no life of his own .. where are the other patients .. where is his mentor .. IS he her close friend / cousin / relative that he is giving her such exclusive care??
What happened to the Second Woman and her daughter? Such a half baked arc. And what was the reason for the LingZhi Chairman's disappointment of his son and how did he meet this bright boy he chose as CTO? And the WHOLE father - son thing got sorted by ONE overheard convo ??
And where was the SO CALLED elder brother who was the bane of ML's life?? We never see him.
And how ridiculous that he should take his gf to see his parents without any inkling of how they will treat her? HOW COME he doesn't look for her after dad has been settled.
JUST TERRIBLE SCRIPT ..
Did the producers of the show fire the scriptwriter - took her/his rough notes and patched together a leaky tattered drama that received VERY LITTLE LOVE from the PRODUCTION HOUSE .Seemed like they just wanted to ride on their TWO stars and a very promising CAST ....
Can't beyotch enough about the LAST SCENE !! I wanted to run after them with a baseball bat - the PD Team of the drama.
SCRIPTWRITER - DIRECTOR BUTCHERED an ENTIRE BUNCH of BRILLIANT TALENTED ACTORS!!!
Yes from me the Drama got 7.5 / 10 ALL for the actors .. and SOME of the PATCHY goodness in the ideas and creation of a MATURE non-infantile FL .. Some gorgeous CHEMISTRY shots.
The Script - story ROUGH NOTES were selected and then thrown in the bin ..
I agree with you on almost all the points to the same degree.
Like you I was SO STOKED!! WOW finally adults who seem to be behaving like adults (especially around being physically attracted to each other).

Romance is not the key focus in this drama. But there are tension and we do get a kiss at the end.
@vickimion1
It's on my PTW list still.
I serendipitously BUMPED into a brilliant Drama in the meantime (24 eps of 25 min each) with one of the BEST FL roles that is just the sort of FL role I dig in a rare and differentlt flavoured drama with unpredictable turns that were delightful to watch.
Is there a good high chemistry between OTP romance in this? Romance that is part of the main plot or relevant to the plot .. not some afterthought or silly add on or forced in the end ;-p

Can't believe this drama does not have cheating as a tag. It's 2024 and I can't believe that I have to write it.…

Hope you found some 100% model behaviour, ideal, flawless, humans as characters in a drama that teaches the audience right and wrong, with a moral about how to live ;-p
