There seems to be two camps for this drama. You will either love it or hate it. Both are valid takes. The biggest debate is probably over ML. He is a wolf in disguise. A red flag disguised as a green one. He pretends to have a moral compass, but he's actually a jerk that puts FL down a lot. And FL...she just keeps taking the insults and forgiving him after he compliments her just a little. That being said, the man can still make you swoon. He has charisma and bad boy energy. It is reminiscent of Kdrama MLs back in the 2010s. They had problematic behavior, but could still make you fall for them.

So why am I in the Love It camp? This drama made me feel a roller coaster of emotions. It made me squeal. It made me yell at the screen, cry tears of joy and frustration. I felt grief. FL's whole journey was a beautiful one. Her character growth was excellent. She becomes so strong and capable by the end. Her supportive friends were the best. ML had some growth too by the end, but it is nowhere near as good as FL's journey.

At the end of the day this is still also a Business drama. Luckily, I didn't find the business drama part all that boring. It features a boss/employee relationship, which can make people uncomfortable (myself included). While ML can be a jerk, there is an adorable, fluffy white dog wreaking havoc on his life on FL's behalf. Totally worth it. It really managed to pull me in. This was an easy, binge worthy watch.
