Okay

This was a very entertaining series. You get a mix of romance, humor, action, drama and mystery. The cast all did an amazing job. I love the communication and the chemistry between the two main lease of the series. They really did manage to pull off their annoyance with each other as well as build a smooth relationship that exhibit an amazing chemistry.
The series revolves around so many people. It’s hard to say that its simply about the two main leads because it involves their families and their friendships. Everything ties into the plot.
What I like most about the series was that the relationship between the male and female lead was unique, funny and also very sweet. I absolutely love the male lead in this series. I have never seen him in any other series but I absolutely love how his character was portrayed as a dedicated, hard-working, loving and free spirit. He was absolutely the person that many underestimate. Our male lead was a man that was rich and traveled the world but still has an amazing sense of loyalty and honesty.
Our female lead was great as well. She was individual with a back bone who was also very smart. I for one am glad that we were able to see a female lead who not only had common sense but would not allow herself to be bullied or belittled by anyone. It was refreshing.
Our supporting cast was just as amazing. I loved our second male lead. He was by far the best character in the series for me because of his personality.

What I did not like about the series was that it was too many episodes of misunderstandings. To elaborate if you receive a receive information from someone that could affect your future, one should not simply take the word and run with it. I’m really not a fan of watching shows that have misunderstandings that drag on for so long. For me as a viewer, it was annoying but it did not diminish the acting of the cast. I’m just one that hates prolong misunderstandings.

.The other thing that I was not happy about was that the series was 63 episodes. For me that is extremely long for a drama of this caliber. You normally see this number with those family dramas but this one was more than family it was business and romance and manipulations so it was a bit longer than I like. That being said it really could’ve end it much sooner, But I can only assume that the writers felt the need to drag it out and threw in a plot twist that frustrated me and then cleared it up at the last two episodes.
I really didn’t get the ending that I wanted, although it wasn’t awful it just seemed to be ungratifying. After 63 episodes you really want a grand ending because you committed so much to it and you really deserve it but I found myself cheated.


If you’re into family/business/romance/treachery type series you may like this one. Also if you are in the mood to start a series that is pretty long. If you’re looking for a smooth sailing romance, this is not it..
