I only watched it for FL and her story

I gotta be honest: i was expecting more.

as I said in the review's title, i only watched it for the FL's story.

for me, personally, i was interested to watch a single mom's story.

i was excited to see her rebuilding her life, overcoming things and growing up as a woman and a person.

and, yes, that was exaclty what i received, but if the drama were only focused on her and not on so many boring side characters, it would have been better.

i didn't like the other two FC, and i'm sad to say that, cuz I'm always interested in stories about women and told by women, but this time it didn't work me.

overall, i wasn't surprised by the fact we didn't get a kiss and no romantic scenes at all. sadly, the chemistry between the main actors was wasted. would be interessing finally seeing the FL having fun and being loved — even though she were loved by the ML throughout the series, since he really care so much about her — at one point i was so sick to see her suffering, and not having, at least, any good thing in her life

maybe, if the drama had fewer episodes, maybe 10 less, it would be more interesting and enjoyable to watch.

I enjoyed the acting, but i felt no "passion" between the lead actors.

the "debt story" was resolved very quickly, after all the drama.

the husband's character is just...boring, there was no need for him to be back, they could just kill him that was enough for me.

despite the negative points - for me, ofc -, the drama brought good discussions and real questions about love being much more than just loving and sex, it's about companionship, patience, giving and reciving, understanding and empathy.

FL is an incredible woman, she was admirable the whole time, and as I said, she was the only character that made me want to continue watching.
