A great drama
I found this cdrama by accident, but ended up liking it a lot.
Despite the subtitles being pretty regular, and the fact that I had to fit the words together like jigsaw puzzles to be able to translate them, I managed to understand most of it, or at least, I would say, about 80%.
The drama is good, quite different for a office romance. Indeed, it has the office cliché with the boss and the secretary trope, but it is much more than just that.
There are no SL or SF complications, in fact, the real complications are the two characters' complexities and insecurities, that's why I enjoyed following the couple so much.
It was really interesting to see the layers of ML develop and be able to get to know the true side of his character, as well as knowing his motivations and the anger he has built up in his heart.
FL is an incredible character. She is mature, professional, talented and there is no infantilization of her in the series. While she is very young and has her privileged side, she is also a very simple person.
Overall, even though the drama is excessively long - could at least be 5 episodes less - I still enjoyed it. But, yeah...It got a little tiring, I have to admit.
What really pissed me off about all this - except, obviously, the fuckedu up situation of the FL's family - was the best friend character. She is a terrible person and extremely selfish. The entire time, throughout the drama, I wanted her to suffer the consequences for the manipulations and scheming she did with her own friend. She got her best friend fired just because of a man, that's shameful as a friend and also as a woman. I really don't understand cuz I would never do that.
Obviously, I can't NEVER compare her with FL's uncle and father, they are both murderers, that's why I would never put her on the same level, cuz, to me, she is just a horrible person, not a murderer. She was also a victim, for sure.
But then, she went running after her best friend's ex-fiance to hit on him after they broke up... man, that was so bizarre and fucked up, I don't have the words to describe how much I wanted the writers to make her suffer some consequences for being such a motherfucker.
Finally, I wanted to say that the FL's brother is SO beautiful. I met him in "Healer Of Children" and I already thought he was cute, but in this cdrama he's even cuter!
PS: ML was a big asshole at certain times and he deserved to spend 10 episodes chasing FL, even though I understood his motives, it will never justify what he did and how he acted.
