It starts off cute, but goes down hill. Ultimately this drama had way too much rape, child abuse, and domestic violence. Even characters that are initially likable turn into rapists and abusers. Also, all the rapists and abusers have no accountability for their actions, and end the series undeservedly happy. It was a train wreck.

I kept waiting for someone to point out that maybe someone who kidnaps, beats, and rapes women is not good relationship material, but as the audience we're supposed to believe that he's a great guy, and just needs to be paired with the right woman.

I was really looking forward to all the evil characters getting their comeuppance, but I never got the payoff I was hoping for. It would be one thing if it were a redemption story, where the evil characters learned the errors of their ways and became better people. But there's no real redemption, no consequences, and no accountability. They just get their happy ending even though they don't deserve it, and the main characters are all okay with that, and we as the audience are expected to be okay with that too.

Train. Wreck.

I cannot even comprehend right now, like my emotions are everywhere I can't even, like I just can't. I decided to watch this drama after seeing the scene of WY pretending to be ZC boyfriend and honestly it was sooooooo friggen cute that fireworks was exploding (maybe not to that extent) but it was cute.

Story:
The drama started of so well, all the characters had their own goals and you can kind of see in which direction the drama was heading into. As it got half way it just went downhill like everything that happened just seemed to annoy me. The little and most stupidest things that you can avoids happen and you're just like are you serious like everything that happened in the second half just made me mad and angry and I was like so close to dropping it but I had faith lmao. The fact that YY ended up marrying the "warm kindhearted" WX and he ends up being the same dictator as their dad and abuses YY just annoyed me so much. Like if yalls going to make scenes of YY trying to argue with WX can you guys at least make it realistic and use some language that will satisfy us viewers so we can empathise with the victim. Like I empathised with YY but the fact that when she fights with WX and she stills ends up being the victim annoyed me so much that there was really no point of putting the scenes in if she wasn't going to win the fight. All I can say is that I only lived for the WY and ZC scenes, but sometimes there fights are pointless too. Also, the last episode was soooooooooooooo rushed that it doesn't even make sense, like how did WY and ZC know where WX was going to meet the guy? Like I did not remember seeing any communication or whatsoever between the brothers unless I skipped too much lmao. Plus WY and ZC didn't even make up from their breakup like how can yous just make them understand each other from a misunderstanding from the previous episode but oh well.

Acting/Cast:
Their acting is decent. Like there are some that could be done better but ohwell. & the cast; at first I honestly thought the real casts that plays WY & WX were real brothers, like they had similar features that I had to check it so many times. lmao

Music:
lmao, I wasn't into the music this time.

Rewatch Value:
yeh nah. I can't.

Overall:
It was okay, could be better but what can you do.

Disappointing

I like the lead actress a lot. This show started out cute. The main female character is cute but sometimes annoying. The characters that have unrequited feelings for other characters gets to be too much and too drawn out. The show took a turn from likable and cute, to something darker. The first 20 episodes are ok, but after that it goes dowhill. The relationship between the female and male lead has moments of awkwardness. The male lead does not pull off the age he is supposed to be. This show ended on a very weak note, and in some instances felt anticlimactic.

Face off ,it is a story of two brothers having same father but from different mother how their true love ,trust and loyalty Frome each other changed into hatred and jealousy that one become enemy of other and it is misunderstanding of feelings and thinking.
on the other side this drama also give a beautiful message about true friendship ,no matter what one can't see other in pain . Love can't be force ,love is about sacrifice your feelings ,so one can live happily ever after ,it is just compromise to your feelings ,this drama also shows that frustration of not getting anything changes one personality totally .
About chemistry between lead actor and actress is so not so intense because at some point he looked mor matured than her though sometimes they look cute ,then Song Qian Jin pairing is also so cute and adorable and he look so cute .I want more with the ending part that lead couple getting married and his brother also settle with her friend ..So it will be more happy ending.

very good drama

watched for Tan Songyun as she is my absolute favorite actress and loved it I thought Tan and Andy were a good match really felt the chemistry but all the other actors were great too, I just didn't like the relationship of the second couple that much, no chemistry, nothing unfortunately didn't knock me out, but it wasn't that bad and everyone who gets upset because of their evil actions is unfortunately sometimes in real life, whether you want to admit it or not, the world is not just friendly and nice, no, it is Also bad, mean, brutal and unfair but unfortunately sometimes you can't do anything about it, as bad as it sounds now that's the real life Not everyone is lucky enough to live peacefully and happily although one is entitled to it, unfortunately there will always be bad people who do something like that and get away with it as hard as it is So put off the rose - colored glasses and come and the reality the world is not as happy as it is sometimes made out to be , if you do not like it then do not watch such drama . I love the drama is now one of my absolute favorite dramas. if there are mistakes in it sorry my english is not that good
