Starting was good and ending was good, middle was okay
I was really reluctant to watch this based on the reviews. Many of the viewers felt that the female lead was immature and naïve. Alas I had nothing to watch so I decided to give it a go.I enjoyed the beginning of the series and how the characters established their relationships, I like how the self-made family started. I love the interaction between male and female lead On the romance scale, I would say it is very low. On the action scale I would say it’s pretty moderate. There is there little mystery to the series however it is enough to keep you entertained.
Initially I thought that the viewers just misunderstood the leads age and character as she is a younger character however after watching it for some time I could absolutely understand what everyone was saying.
First, here initial behavior stemed from her lack of knowledge about what happened. She gets a pass for that, but when she is made aware of the dangers to her life and continuously does things that could get here killed, that’s were she lost me. No matter how naive or ignorant an individual may be, everyone and I do mean everyone has a survival instinct in them. She appears to have no instinct and and appear to be more stupid than naive. Then we get into the moody behavior because someone intervened to save her life because they wouldn’t continue to let her put her self in harms way and the resentment came out. It things like this that lowered the rating.
Overall, I found it enjoyable. Would I watch it again? Definitely not. Why? It was really rather frustrating to understand the sacrifice that was made for the FL and then watch 40 episodes of her disregarding that sacrifice for something that really had no value, essentially a bragging rights gift.

This is not a romantic series, it’s definitely revenge
Series wasn’t horrible but it was absolutely predictable.What I liked about the series was the FL ability to fight back and her boldness. That being said, there was nothing else I really enjoyed about it.
I am so over these aggressive mother-in-law‘s and the oblivious partners. This mother-in-law was beyond extreme. After the FL sister passes away she decides to take her place under the guise of raising her nephew but she’s really there to discover what happened and seek revenge. While I enjoyed her comebacks I just feel like The behaviors were extreme and the punishment and they have a really matches the crime. Two throw in the romance twist of course we have the devoted sister who was really there for revenge develop feelings for the very person who was oblivious to her sibling suffering and they all lived happily ever after.

Sweet
This was unexpectedly delightful. I honestly believe it was well written. The pace was very slow but there were god elements. It gave a nostalgic vibe.Synopsis was pretty accurate. I loved how it portrayed the ML first innocent love and how he grew into a man and really recognized what he needed and wanted. Not a big fan of the family but there were not the worst I’ve seen. It wa s realistic and understandable. If you’re into the hometown vibe you’ll enjoy it. What I enjoyed most was how ML started at the bottom and worked his way up to a successful person. The friendships were a bit suspect but it was okay. What I disliked what the secret that seemed to go on forever. Later in the series you don’t see the main couple as much which was a total let down.
Overall good series.

Interesting
I enjoyed the series, the episodes were short but good. Interesting story, with a surprising reveal. I liked the fact that it was lively and had some comedic moments but it went with the cliché troupe “couple falls in love, one needs a cure, one either is the cure or determined to find it.” Fairly decent drama. Not too over the top. You’ll get your fair share of villains.I think the ending was a bit anticlimactic but it’s enjoyable. If you’re looking for something light hearted, you may enjoy this.Was this review helpful to you?
Naive extreme doormat for FL
Spare yourself. It had so much potential but this female lead was suppose to be smart and turned naive so quick it was ridiculous. And I don’t mean the simple kind. She followed along with someone she barely know and give them access to everything. Nobody found it strange that this guy just started hanging around and being aggressive. How peculiar!This is an extreme DOORMAT SPECIAL here, where theFL gives money to people and access to her money to someone she has barely even known, where she gives money to all of her family members that treat her like garbage and beat her. CINDERELLA x10.

This movie is well another typical Stockholm’s film. Our ML abducted the wrong female and literally tortures her by forcing her to do manual labor, locking her up into a cabin in the woods, nearly drowning her, making her cook and pretty much be a servant to him, eventually raping her and with that assault finally realizing he grabbed the wrong person.In between or after all of those things he realizes he loves her and confesses. After many episodes of pursuits she gives in. But not without him going in and getting his revenge against the person that actually committed the offense in the first place. To top it off we have our normal cliché event in which our female lead is willing to sacrifice her dysfunctional love and her safety to repay someone’s kindness/favor.
And our female lead lives happily ever after with a man who tortured her for months because she realized he wasn’t that bad after all. Insert eye roll here.
The one pro about it was that it wasn’t boring and there was always something going on. H the series wasn’t horrible but it could’ve been much better without that actual assault taking place and definitely if the female lead was a bit tougher. Hey series was actually OK but the concept/idea of a victim falling in love with their captor who essentially tortured and assaulted them is not what I consider I love story. If they had actually taken out the assault and made it a bit more humane have might’ve enjoyed it more.

The series revolves around a bet between the ML and his nemesis “the ML had to stay in the countryside for a month or bow at his nemesis feet or the other way around.” To me this was very ridiculous and somewhat immature. The nemesis of his had a habit of making fun of him and picking on him because of something that happened in the ML youth. The ML agrees to go to the countryside to prove that he can do it for a month. Of course he thought nothing of it and agree to it. My first thought is if someone bothers me to the point where it is getting on my nerves why would I agree to do something that I don’t want to do just because. There was no real benefit from him going he just simply agreed to prove that he can do it. They weren’t even friends.
FL was a bit more realistic, strong and somewhat easy going, character was well done.
Secondly, the ML so called friends were in on it so they could profit from recording him as part of their show while he was there. My thoughts “what kind of friends are these.” while I was watching I just kept thinking this is so illegal to be recorded and broadcast on live TV without consent but of course that was never brought up. Not only did the male lead not know that he was being recorded, at least initially the female lead did not know either. Again once these individuals found out no one even mentioned suing, rights, violations.
One of my reason the rating was that the ML character just seemed weak, easily manipulated and lacked confidence. The other is, I really hated how the ML so called friends did that for their benefits, never really apologized but still seemed to be friends after such a violation of trust. He also pulled around by his mother. Just no. Gave it a 6 because it was so unrealistic.

What I like most was the character development of the ML. He was a handful in the beginning but you slowly saw him becoming a better person because of that situation.
What if didn’t like was the ending. It just didn’t show a conclusion but it wasn’t terrible.

Well there’s action
First of all, let’s address the mentioned genre. It is most certainly action, drama and crime but that romance tag is a big stretch unless you consider catching feelings near the end. There’s no big romance here.Moving on the the story itself. It is definitely interesting but there was no real mystery. You knew almost immediately who the bad guys and good guys were. Even the jealous girls were so obvious. I felt that a bit more mystery or even a hint of romance would have made for a more interesting plot. Basically what we have here is a father son duo that have planned to steal from a family by using the sons relationship with the other family’s daughter. The sad part of the story for me as the viewer is that the FL remained clueless about the schemes and even the guys unfaithfulness until the last few episodes. That’s just way too long. Her cluelessness just made it one of those situations were you just want to throw your hands up and leave her to the wind. She had warnings and nope she just kept believing.
I like that it had some action, but I disliked the cluelessness. I will say that it’s not a rewatch for me.

Series revolves around a playboy who is determined to get the FL to fall in love with him. He spends X amount of episodes pursuing her while still hooking up with other females. Yes eventually his feelings change for the FL and she stops being just a mission but someone he cares for. Sadly his care was not enough to make him respect her and stop fooling around with other females. Not only did he lie and manipulate from episode one to the very last episode this ML also derailed relationships of people that were close to him by dragging them into his bad behaviors. This was not funny. It was not cute. It was not romantic. This is why I make so many women suspicious and mistrusting of men because of me and like this. I had hoped that this guy would be redeemed but he wasn’t he just stay the same.We’ve all seen shows like this where the male or female change their bad habits/cheating ways and become better people. This is not it. This guy cheating and flirted to the very last second of the show. As a matter of fact, it ended with his wife dragging him out of a club. However the writers made light of this and played it up as boys will be boys. By the end of this series, I was thinking what a sad life to be married to a compulsive lier and cheater. To have to drag your husband out of the club or search his phone. This was not a comedy, this was truly a degrading tragedy from beginning to the ver end and I do mean very end (it ended with him lying while the producers played happy music)
Spare yourself this one. The playboy is not redeemed. This is the epitome of a woman being married to a womanizer with no desire or intent to ever change. It was just ridiculously pathetic.
The stars that I did give this series is simply because of the supporting cast. They seemed more genuine and worth watching but even some of them terrible habits.

Series starts out at a fairly good pace but it quickly got a bit repetitive. You get the regular adult children being ordered around by their parents like they can’t think for themselves. You got the richer looking down on the ones with less money. The main difference between this series and other cliche of life dramas was this one just really didn’t feel like a conclusive ending or a happy one. It was just an ending. I invested lots of time in the main couple and then it crashed and burned. Not what I was expecting. Was this review helpful to you?
