My Fair Lady (2003)

This is a romantic comedy about two people with two very different perspectives on love. The female lead believes marriage is more important than love because it gives you stability. The male lead believes love is something you should not let go or give up on.

With that said, these two meet and fall for each other very early on. However due to unforeseen circumstances cannot be with each other for reasons beyond their control. People get in their way, life gets in their way, jealous crazy ex's get in their way, A LOT of things get in their way.

It's very frustrating to see this "plot magic" intervention that prevents the couple from seeing each other. It's great at first but when there's still obstacles getting in their way 18 episodes in, it becomes very stupid.

Throughout the show, lies and deception become very potent. These things continue to pile ontop of each other until the last episode where "hey I lied about this, this, this, and this I'm sorry" and that's the end of it. These people did not face any consequences for their actions, it's as if it never happened at all!

Overall, the show's premise had potential but was executed very poorly. Too many plot holes and "plot magic" to fix problems. It's not a terrible show but I would not recommend this to someone who has never seen dramas before.
