Such a Disappointing drama

Wow. Just wow
I have seen so many bad reviews on this drama and I agree with all of them. I haven't watched the original yet and I am currently watching the Taiwanese version. The only reason I got into this show is that I like the trope but the way this drama was executed was so poor. After the first I watched I was already sick of it while questioning my decision to drop it, I came here for spoilers and I was glad I did.

At first, the story was cute and I loved their chemistry and the idea of them being brought close together by the baby. Also, the fact that he gives her confidence and she can finally get rid of that annoying sticky note girl persona and then I come here to find out that all of that went to waste.
From the abortion/miscarriage to the divorce and breakup all of it seems like too much drama. I really didn't want her to lose the baby but now that I see she did I may not even watch any of them from the series. I am so glad I saved myself the trouble because as a long-time Asian drama watcher I have this thing where I don't drop the drama but instead stick till the end just to say I finished it.

B+ for effort, would recommend- SPOILER

I loved this drama, this was the first drama I watched with the cinderella trope and I loved it.

Of course, some scenes want to make me roll into a ball and pass away but altogether not bad compared to some dramas I watched. Now let me talk about things I didn't like.

1. The main couple was rushed - For almost half the drama I kept thinking she would end up with the SML, The first of the MLS she met at the bar, the guy that asked her to pretend to be his girlfriend, and the guy that overall had the best chemistry with her. so I was quite disappointed when I soon came to realize he was not the ML.

I feel like the fl and the ml had little to no chemistry, they weren't horrible together but tbh I hated the ml because he was such a fucking asshole to her. he spent half the story being such a bitch to her because the girl he has a crush on is butt hurt that someone else doesn't like her back ( the SML I was talking about )

Their relationship seemed like some sort of horrible last-minute plot twist idea. The whole love hexagon or sum was already confusing their relationship came out of nowhere.

2. THE HEXAGON WAS EVERYWHERE - It's not that it was some cringey love triangle, it was some reverse harem with only 2 logical ships.
The Kpop guy felt like her brother so not him
The secretary had little to no interaction with the fl
The ml was so fucking rude to her and he seemed to love the sfl more than he loved her. iI the sfl liked him back their relationship would be non-existent.

so that leave us with her and the sml( the only guy who i count as a good candidate and who she actually seemed to have chemistry with )

3. I hate the sfl - I just don't like her. From the moment I set my eyes on her I knew she would cause trouble, she wasn't a bitch or anything, and she didn't try to harm the fl tbh I feel like they would have had a cute friendship if explored more. but she was 99% of the arguments between the sml and the ml. ie

sfl tries to get ml to like her
sml doesn't care and says he likes fl
sfl gets emotional and runs to ml to cry even though she does not like him and probably should have caught on to the fact that he liked her.
ml gets mad at sml and fl for some reason

4. The characters -

The FL: I liked her, although her character is the stereotypical " girl who is strong but not too strong because she can't stand up for herself too much, that isn't girly " ill give her a 3.5/5 she was okay and could have been better without all the miscommunications and I liked how she sometimes minded her business.

The ML: Every time I see him I want to go on a rant but I won't because I don't care enough for him. I know it seems like I shitting on him here (i am ) but he and the fl were a good couple for the short time we got to see them together. would have liked it better if they had fully convinced us he fell out of love with the sfl. 3/5

The SML: As much as I liked him with the fl he was kind of an asshole to the sfl. and as much as I don't like her I feel like she deserved better than to have ended up with him. 3/5

The SFL: She needs to boast her self-esteem more she shouldn't have ended up with the sml. tbh the ml was better for her 3.2/5

The kpop idol guy: meh...he was there I guess I like how he wasn't involved in too much mess 3.5/5

The secretary: I loved this character I really like his back story with his mother, it probably was the most interesting part of this drama, I felt so bad for him :( 4.5/5

The story was okay, I was more interested in the secretary and his mother's story & the fl's dead mother than the other romance tbh.
I would recommend though, it's funny sometimes and heartwarming. I'm just nitpicking at the bad parts.

also, stepmom and sister got their karma
