I had really high hopes for this show when it started. I loved the first episode, but it quickly went downhill for me. I’m just not a fan of misunderstanding-based plots, and this show took it way further than normal. It was misunderstanding after misunderstanding, and then on top of that they ended it with amnesia. I genuinely don’t understand why all of that was necessary. The show would have been just as good without the amnesia and constant misunderstandings. For me, it completely ruined the experience.

I also really disliked the female lead. I felt like the show kept downplaying how toxic her behavior was. She constantly lied to and deceived him to his face, hurt him on purpose over and over again, and said really cruel things to him. From the very beginning, he was the only one actually fighting for the relationship and making any effort from the first day they met. She never really tried. Instead, she kept lying and attempting to break up multiple times. It wasn’t until the very last episode that she finally showed even a bit of effort, which felt far too late.

I also agree with other reviews about the villains. They were completely useless and poorly written. There was just way too much going on in this show. It would have been much better if they had picked one or two plot points and stuck with them. Instead, they tried to cram in everything: abusive parents, abandonment issues, a sick mother, suicide attempts, corporate power struggles, jealous siblings, misunderstandings, amnesia, jealousy, love triangles, love squares… it was exhausting.

Overall, I can’t recommend this one. It’s better to skip it.
