News Full of Annoying Characters
I honestly don't know why I keep watching this drama every day. It's addictive, but at the same time, I can't stand most of the characters!
The FL comes across as an arrogant, privileged influencer who doesn't even know how to pay her own bills, yet suddenly wants to take over her father's company? Even small details, such as her reaction when the maid accidentally broke her favorite cup, reveal how unpleasant she can be.
The husband is ambitious, dishonest, and unfaithful. I can understand why he wants a fair share of the company after helping it grow from a small business into a successful one. However, his ambition gradually turns into greed, and he ends up hurting so many people, including the FL's father and eventually his own son. That makes his downfall potentially compelling.
The first wife is not entirely blameless either. She allowed her husband to marry the FL for financial reasons, even though she had to work as a housekeeper for the FL's family. Still, I can understand her desperation to save her child. As a mother, she wants to protect her son, and that makes her situation more understandable.
The lawyer is ML, on the other hand, feels more like eye candy than a competent professional. His legal work doesn't seem particularly convincing, and he repeatedly creates awkward situations where the husband, first wife, and their son run into one another and end up lying to each other. No romance and no chemistry with FL.
Harry, the husband's son, is another frustrating character. His constant involvement with the FL, sudden disobedience toward his mother, and unexpected friendship with the lawyer make his character arc feel strange and unconvincing.
Even the FL's friend annoys me. When a seemingly decent and honest man approaches her, she keeps rejecting him despite their past connection and the possibility that he might be her child's father. I find her behavior frustrating, and I don't think she deserves him.
Honestly, almost everyone in this drama annoys me. The characters often feel unrealistic, their decisions are frustrating, and the story relies too much on toxic relationships and contrived situations.
I am not demanding that everyone be morally good, I am demanding that their behavior make sense.
A toxic character can be fascinating. A manipulative character can be entertaining. Even a terrible protagonist can carry a drama if the writing understands that person.
But when characters repeatedly act in ways that feel unnatural just to keep the plot moving, we as audience can become detached from the story emotionally while remaining curious about what happens next.
So why am I still watching?
I want to know how the story ends. I want to see how the divorce and revenge play out, whether the characters finally face the consequences of their actions, and whether the ending will be satisfying enough to justify all this frustration.
At this point, I don't even know whether I enjoy watching this drama anymore. I just want to finish it and see how everything turns out!
