Stereotypical Republican Love Story

War has broken out all over. The girl has two options: the rich bully who has an icy heart or the poor but warm-hearted loving rebel. Just GUESS which one she'll pick? lol Seriously though, it's super obvious because of who gets more screen time.

Everything is extremely predictable. The filming is lovely (even though at times the green screen was really obvious and horrendous), the soundtrack was typical. However, the fact that she just doesn't age throughout and the front cover is super misleading due to that -- the bangs/fringe look typically makes the women look younger, but it just wasn't as complimentary on this actress and it kept bothering me. So the male lead becomes a grown man, while she's permanently stuck in this weird child-like look. It's irritated me enough that I'm going to stop watching. Each episode is 45-46 minutes, and there is a lot of character building and the love triangle doesn't kick in until episode nine and that's just the beginning of it. It truly kicks off in episode ten.

If you're looking for a literal 'stereotypical' and 'everything is predictable' show, then this is it. It was so fitted with your obvious tropes, that I wasn't going to finish watching it. The description of the show was so much more impactful, and felt like it would be much more enticing and interesting, but it just isn't.

EDIT: So I've looked at the photos because I don't REALLY want to drop the show, but was hoping she grew up, and she DOES -- so I'm going to give it a couple more episodes in hope! If it finally takes off and something actually starts to happen aside from the predictable storyline, then I'll change my review. P.S. I swear I've seen this somewhere already, that's how predictable it is.

EDIT 2: So I'm still watching. Of course, even though the FL doesn't love him back, the 1st ML will do anything, even putting his own life on the line. I think as long as you don't binge the show, it's okay in doses. The characters are truly built right out of a romance book's tropes.

EDIT 3: Things carry on. She's starting to love him back. They have another misunderstanding. Predictable.
