Blatant plagiarism. and be warned, light spoilers in my review

See now the concept, the concept is interesting and i would love to see more dramas being family centered. Why i saw its blatant plagiarism is because script/dialogue, flow, structure, and character designs were a copy paste of wetv's "the love you give me". They just change a heart condition to asthma, add in a few action and kidnaping scenes and change the character designs of some of the other characters. For something that isnt categorized as remake i was really surprised when i watched this and saw the lack of creativity in the writing. Shows are similar all the time but never have i watched two shows and had them have word for word dialogue in certain scenes.

The story: 3.5. it can only be described as an attempt.
Things jumped around, certain scenes made no sense on how we arrived there. They tried to sandwich kidnapping attempted murder, betrayal, wholesome family, gosh i feel like I'm describing a thai drama. except thai dramas might actually do it better. I dont know when or how they suddenly got back together, this man attempted to SA her on multiple occasions and was incredibly mean to her. the flip just switched and it showed fl blushing all of a sudden after pretending to be with someone else to get away from him

Acting:4.0- its a short drama so lower your expectations.
.zero chemistry, i genuinely felt nothing lol. ive watched short dramas that sizzled. the chemistry was so hot my computer was overeating. this drama...the only description i can give is that i was hungry and tried t eat but the food was bland. Not gonna lie to you...i really hated the fl's acting in moments of crisis. Her expressions made me cringe so bad but at least she tried. ML was just a log, if the goal was cold mean CEO i guess he ate, although scenes with the kid were cute though i must say.

music: 1.5- i think its just random classical, i dont even remember what it was or if it was even there

Would i rewatch? absolute hell to no. I had to go reconnect my chakras by going to watch the love you give me. it truly made me feel so much better that i wondered why i decided to watch this one. if you want his but done 10x better acting wise, story wise, chemistry wise, budget wise, ost wise (im literally obsessed with the intro), comedy wise, go check out the love you give me. the leads are a recasted pair with one previous drama so yk their chemistry was fire
