Deliciously back-handed and sinister is the best way to describe this series. And I loved it. It is the ultimate ‘soap-opera’ that sings to you majestically. It is three love stories each more vapid than the other. Yet compelling watching. This is a very messy and chaotic series that at times is exacerbating to watch. It slips so much into the standard soap-opera mindset of how characters are supposed to act and behavior. At times, one just wants to shake the protagonists and say what is wrong with you. You fell for this before; why are you falling for this again? But it is exactly why we watch these series. It brought a charm and wit that was sharp and crisp for a change. And surprisingly adult-like in solutions. Do not look for any real plot to the story. It just goes from one conflict to another with the superficial love storylines in between. Every one of these characters is flawed and to some degree unlikeable. There is jealousy, obsession, emotional blackmail, messy desires, dishonesty, mistrust, and a lot of pain. The emotional pain components are done well, which gives these characters heart and a relatability factor. So, in a sense, we find them compelling to watch even if they are not the most moral or ethical standard-bearers of the day. They become intriguing. Thus, the series is astonishingly entertaining and certainly keeps one’s interest throughout.
