I finally realized after watching this drama that reviews are mostly colored by one's experiences and outlook. In this case, had I taken into consideration the reviews here, I would have missed out on a good hours of lighthearted entertainment. Yes, lighthearted. I wish I could shout this out. There is no rape, not even an attempt  to rape. Saying that there was rape would be (In real life) slander in legal terms. No justification, but the guy was crazy with jealousy, then drunk and tried the only way an idiot can, to make his lady love his own. But. A big BUT. He had enough restraint and love for her that he stopped after a brief struggle. He wasn't going to rape her. Yes he is an ass with the morals of an alley cat, but he loves and protects his own. He is hardworking, disciplined and responsible.  The flaw is not in him but in the characterization. His character, his story and the consequences of his actions are just a way of teaching morality and life lessons to young men. The premise of this story (verbalised in the 7th episode) is in itself flawed.  The premise is that men have no control over their sexual desires. That men are playboys, till the time they meet their true love, at which point men need to Learn and change.  Bull...
I have been surrounded by men all my life. Father, brother, friends, uncles, husband, colleagues, son, nephews... No most men are not mindless sexual beasts.  But despite this, give credit where it is due. The creators of this drama are not upholding physical violence or abuse. Rather they are sermonizing  young men, telling them that they need to practice sexual monogamy when the time comes. The drama, if it needs to be bashed should be bashed for such a flawed and unfair premise, not for promoting violence.

I loved our hero. He was posessive, jealous and not afraid to show it. His morals just didn't gel with his character. How could it when his sexual morals were just a means for sermonozing.

The heroine. Perfectly drawn out and not a doormat our PK. Cute and lovely.

Every character played out really well. This was one drama where there was little or no craziness.

If you want fluffy romance of the mills and boons variety. Try it. It is worth a watch.
