Well, it was funny, not for the prudish though. Adult toys industry can be interesting if you look at it through "Casa Amor" glasses.
Jo Yeo Jung is def. the go to actress when it comes to mature roles played without any awkwardness. This woman is a natural and I love her for that.

It became kind of draggy at one point and then the end felt rushed. I get it: this was all about romance and health…
Kelly, if you don' have a problem with speedwatching, you can still give it a try, it's not a complete mess, just too much wasted potential and def. not the wow almost perfect rom-com that so many other viewers seem to consider it. of course it's just my opinion :)
It became kind of draggy at one point and then the end felt rushed.
I get it: this was all about romance and health and not that much about the chaebol "universe". yet somehow they managed to waste so much screen time on the useless "power war" angle, the chaebol heir stuff, only to have the whole thing fall flat in a matter of minutes in the last episodes. The writer was like: "ok, the main character is a chaebol heir, so we MUST put him in the middle of a bunch of golf playing boring ahjussis that are expected to put him through "hell" before allowing him to finally get his inheritance"... yeah right! Let's fill the 16 episodes with something irrelevant and the epitome of cliche, cause being original is so overrated... hell, while we're at it, let's throw a stepmom and a stepbrother in the mix, make them look like wolves disguised in sacrificial lambs, give the mother in law from hell (grandma) a chance to pop up as well and then scrap the whole thing, it wasn't important to begin with (not to mention a false, illogical conflict, as those people had no legal or moral claim over the inheritance, but who cares anyway?).
Also the second leads were ultimately boring, antagonists but not so much in reality, with not enough depth and drive to justify their importance in the overall economy of the story. Maybe what I am trying to say is they got too much limelight for delivering too little drama. Their attempt of being the bad guys is not convincing, just as their so called love line is not convincing.
These are the characters that I hate the most in a drama: they make you wanna speedwatch when you NEVER speedwatch; yet you KNOW you won't be missing anything of consequence if you skip their scenes; yet you have to allow them to bore you to death, cause you NEVER speedwatch...
The Venus and the 3 "good looking dwarfs" saved the drama. Chemistry, cuteness, smiles. But it still wasn't enough. I would have rated this even lower, if not for my SJS bias... But I must admit the leads did a good job with all the natural skinship and the grown up romance (as it should be to begin with when you portray healthy adults in love lol).
Even so, I must confess I downrated the drama because there were just too many damn flashbacks in the last episode, so it got on my nerves. It was like they were doing a recap instead of focusing on wrapping up the story with a nice bow and no loose ends...

Not a high quality production, on the contrary, quite lacking (acting, directing, most of all editing). But I guess it serves its purpose, creating more awareness of the lack of LGBT rights in Thailand. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Thailand

Seeing how most of the stories in this genre are almost always about struggle, frustration, pain, loneliness, feeling an outcast and so on, not to mention the usual sad endings, this one was quite refreshing, giving a more normal vibe.
