Interesting Plot but not as much Tension as it should’ve had (in my Opinion)
I dropped it at the end of episode 7.
I like the story. Love plots with con artists who fall for their targets is a trope I like.
With that said, I dropped it bc I couldn’t fathom how quickly the targets got over being conned. It’s not only how quickly they seemed to get over it but also how readily they were to still accept their con artists lover’s apologetic words.
I mean…they’re con artists…how are you going to believe their apologies and words of remorse without enough doubt to create real tension for the audience??
I could get over it rather quickly with the second cp bc it was discovered early on in their relationship so it’s understandle the hurt wouldn’t be as deep but I completely expected for hatred and resentment from the male lead when he found his fiance/husband was conning him??
If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to stand being in the same room as him, I wouldn’t be interested in hearing his excuses, I wouldn’t be interested in having my life intertwined with his in any way, shape, or form after finding out. Yet, in the same episode, he literally can talk to him, be in the same room as him, and accept moving into his house just bc of…geckos in the apartment he’s staying in???
Bro had his life ruined: family and guests gossiping, deception, pain, being disowned, leaving the family’s business empire and he still can support being around his con artist ex?
It was a good plot and I enjoy these plots but the tension and resentment and remorse I expected to see more of just wasn’t there. It was just…a let down from how good it could’ve been. It felt like the writers didn’t know how or were too lazy to actually write a convincing redemption arc for their love story.
I’m sure a lot of people liked it but if you expect the show to deliver in a larger capacity than simple surface-level emotions and comedy then this isn’t the one for you.
