Simple, Sexy and Clear - Recommended
This was a good film with a clean and simple storyline. The actors did a phenomenal job playing these characters, not once do they falter. It's a great film to start the conversation about BDSM - informative yet not too graphic. The side characters are a good addition and help keep the plot straight without too much interference. Kudos to the leads for making the characters seem so real. A definite mention for the director and screenplay writer - jobs well done. The movie is exciting and makes for a good watch. It has a good enough light side to it where it can be rewatched. Lots of fun and a definite recommendation!Was this review helpful to you?

A drama filled with cliches - but in the worst way possible
I would have just said Cold ML and Bubbly FL, but unfortunately, this drama is not it. This is a story about a cold/unfeeling/strong-headed ML and a pushover/no self-esteem/stalker-y FL. I watch a lot of romcoms and enjoy tropes in moderation with at least a slightly believable/ ethical plotline. BEWARE: This one is not the rom-com to watch if you like a cute/fluffy romance that is a feel-good timepass. The story is absolutely messed up - without spoiling, but if the ML were to do the same things that the FL was doing - It would really raise some eyebrows and questions. Not even going into how the ML is forced into marriage via forced drinking/ emotional blackmail etc. The FL taking advantage of certain relationships gets married to him - mind you, she has had a 'crush' on him for years now. I say 'crush' because it is not one - it is her being a stalker and taking advantage of situations.They use various tropes and each as useless as the last one -
Crossdressing - There is no way that was a believable male get up, with makeup and liner. This was not executed to half ots extent and ends up just frustrating the audiences. How stupid do you think the people watching this are?
Contract Marriage - The ML is forced in quite some unethical ways by his family. The FL family makes sense and tries to her out of it.
Long term 'crush' - At the rate at which she is acting, it's surprising no one has labelled her a stalker/ creep. With zero sense of self, she is ready to do whatever it takes to be with this guy - Who very clearly states he doesn't want to be with her.
Living in - The ML is clearly uncomfortable with her ther and the next scene you see how happy she is that she gets to live with the ML. ML doesn't like the idea of marriage and she continuosly pushes it.
A doormat is too kind a word for the FL who clearly needs therapy and a restraining order.
Currently watching ep 10. I can't stop without completing any series and am watching this at 2x. It's still unbearable. Will keep the review updated.
