From spicy to dicey

BHAHAHAHAHA Im wheezing. This drama just pushed surprised laughter out of me. This is so hilarious, I can't take anyone here seriously hahahaha

The storyline was interesting, juicy enough to keep you in your seat, but for God's sake, leave your brains out while watching this drama & think of it as comedy. Just watch it for the spice. Only then you won't feel insulted and defensive about the kind of thinking, gestures and morals exhibited and propagated here.

The FL is strong. The ML is trash. His trashiness is justified, I feel sorry for him, but he's still...Trash. Chaya is a hot woman who could have been strong & empowered, but chose to became a dirt rag for Peat. If only she had respected herself instead of giving priority to love, she would have been cool. Sadly, she isn't. She and the Ml are both crazy, manipulative refuse. The Fl's friend is a good friend and Kriss is a sensible friend in the ML's friend circle, who loves *someone* and respects the FL, disapproving Peat and Chaya's actions (thank god)...until he isn't.



WTF happened to Kriss 's character, the only sane one in the series, I respected so much, till the last 4 episodes? The producer just had to taint him huh? From being disgusted with his former crush's cheap, immoral decisions, to becoming her lapdog for revenge when she blinks her bambi eyes, he gave me a whiplash that sprained my neck and made me spew my water! I understand his wanting to harm Peat, but destroying the company? Is it because he has so much hatred for him that he doesn't want Peat to have a chance to inherit, even if it meant harming his friend, FL? Now he's even promising to ruin their relationship? You don't know what the heck happened to the story when even the last good person becomes waste matter.

TBH FL deserves better. Like waaaaaay better. Maybe Kriss thinks he's doing her a favour, but I didnt like the crazed look in his eyes. Correct me if I'm wrong but we always saw Peat's flashbacks of the FL, her qualities that he loves- sassiness, fun, warmhearted, caring personality; but I didn't FL's flashbacks of Peat's good qualities at all. Nada. Zilch.

Making him smile was like pulling teeth. And they were so fleeting. When he was happy, he actually had a motive behind it then too.

I understand that he was having a whiplash, burdened and destroyed be every consequent secret he found out, but man they literally never gave him a chance to heal. Neither in the story nor by his 'own' people. Where was the fanfare when returned, the care his father should have given him after realising his fault. He treated the FL, his daughter of 4 years more like his chid than his own son. Those 4 years time skip felt like a joke. They were useless, since his character never improved. He was still a hotheaded, self centred person (not completely though, he was always in pain, reacting with his mother in mind) -
He lost his mom
Got a new step mom within days of her demise
His dad treated them way warmly than his own family
His actions killed the step mom by mistake.
His love became his actual sister
He found out he was adopted
He found out that both parents cheated on each other, first induced by his father.
He basically became an orphan.

There is no loyalty in this drama whatsoever- between employee and employer, friend and crush, lovers, husband and wife, friends. Sheesh.
Another thing that ticked me of is his other best friend. GOD the kind of things Peat and Chaya. did- having an illicit affair, hurting family, manhandling women, dropping both women like hot potato to run after the other woman, & twice Chaya tried to kill the FL (yet no one found out) - and yet he was only concerned about their friend circle breaking up. Like, others outside his circle are none of his concern, as long as the 4s friendship isn't influenced. What an selfish, elementary way of thinking . But the minute he found out Kriss' actions, he readily decided to cut him off as a friend. It showed his favouritism. The way Kriss is turning out to be now (if he doesn't change)- all 4 of them were definitely meant to be best friends. They are all perfect assholes.

Sorry for the rant. I was watching this story from a realistic drama pov (what is realistic in a drama- the standards are way more lax and taken as a drama not measure acc to real life) & still couldn't handle the ludicrous insensitivity in here.
