Bits and pieces of old kdramas combined together

I like how the drama started with a messed up marriage and showed story of a couple who have fallen out of love and their journey to rediscovering their love. It was going good till episode 7, after that it become like a complete different story. All the focus was shifted on the queen’s group family being broke and falling in the trap laid by the villains. And how easily the villains got everything they wanted and even kicked the family out of the house. It’s was bit unrealistic how a business tycoon family had nowhere to go.
And in the midst of all this villain drama the main issue was left unaddressed. What about the martial issues that brought the lead couple at this point? Why hae in and hyun woo hated each other that much at the beginning of the show? The answers were vague. I wish the focus of the show was on addressing their martial issues and rekindling their love and not on the unnecessary villain drama.
If the story had only focused on hae in’s illness and their troubled marriage. It would have been alot better.

Amazing concept ruined by same old k-drama cliches

I am giving this show an early review because I am not sure whether i will continue watching it or not. Yes! I am on the edge because sometimes it’s funny and sometimes it’s soo lame that I can’t watch another minute of it. I read some reviews to understand what the problem might be! And no, the problem is not repetition in scenes and dialogues. Majority of the repetitive scenes occurred in the early episodes yet i still enjoyed them.

The problem seems to be with the main lead couple’s chemistry and their backstory. For me the driving force to keep watching a show is the lead couple, I didn’t feel much chemistry between the lead couple and they fell in love way too quickly. I couldn’t understand exactly at what point it happened that they are mad for each other!! The 2nd lead characters love triangle was more interesting to watch than the main couple.
And haru was such a weak character,he didn’t give off main lead vibes as he had no character development, his character was living off of past memories, which turned lame. I don’t understand why there is a past connection in a comic story. Was that necessary ?? Why can’t k-drama writers move past this overused past connection trope? Every unique concept is ruined by this same old trope.
Also kyung was soo aggressive. It automatically made me angry seeing him on screen. Why was he throwing things in every episode! He had serious issues. Do hwa was the best character. He should’ve been the male lead. He was such a cutie and he looked good with the FL.
