Watched So You Don't Have To... You're Welcome hehe

ok... the intro alone was such a hot mess ahahaha *ahem* anyway...

We open with a crap load of women in the back of a stretch limo all struggling to zip up dresses, slip into shoes etc because obviously no time could be spared for them to quickly dress, idk... in a room before entering said limo? This is probably setting the scene for what's to come in the drama ;-)

EP 1-6 Recap
The 1st episode was super-fast paced with a lot of villainous characters introduced including ex-maid stepmom, adopted? bro and even the butler dude. Adopted bro is so over the top with his actions that everyone in the entire city must hear/see his evil actions.
By EP 2 we know FL's dad is richest man with tons of money and connections at his disposal, yet he's played for a fool for how many years by a mere maid borrowing his prestige as his new wife? FL enters the family as a maid because... why not?

FL helps evil adopted bro's pregnant wife and thus gets a pass at being the 2nd bro's live-in caregiver (who was in a car accident 3?6? months prior and is in a coma) because... why not, right? Obviously she happened to go to nursing college/has a degree.

Butler and evil stepmom have truly ridiculous interactions.
FL pisses in everyone's cheerios right out of the gate and expects to live with them all and not die sooner rather than later.

& (of course) we find out evil maid/stepmom is banging adopted bro (her stepson) as well. -_- everyone is aware adopted bro is domestically abusing his pregnant wife.
The little dance the butler makes all the maids do each morning is absolutely ridiculous LOL what? why???
Also it's "hinted at" (but not really hinted, more like BLASTED) that the reason the butler has certain proclivities is because the FL kicked him in the junk when she was little and quite literally "unmanned" him which legitimately pisses me off. That is NOT how it works.
FL nearly freezes to death under butler's scheme but 2nd bro wakes from a coma and springs out of bed and into action just in the nick of time!
Daddy McBucks comes home by end of EP6.

EP 7-12 Recap
FL teases evil adopted bro to make him do her bidding but somehow escapes from being SA' d by him over and over again
A fake heiress shows up (didn't see that coming /sarcasm)
Fake heiress is busted rather quickly by FL/ML
FL's stupid dad is hospitalized
ML finds out FL is real heiress
Evil stepmom loses her shit in one of THE most hilarious melt downs EVER looking for her hubby's will. >_<

(me STILL not over the crazy ass intro)

EP 13 Recap

Ep 13 starts out with evil stepmom's epic nightmare and FL taking her place back in the family.
BRO... FL accuses evil stepmom of murder in front of her dad and brother and literally stepmom says "impossible" and walks out of the room and no one stops her, gasps, or ANYthing. LMAO.

old butler re-enters the picture because FL's revenge on him obviously ONLY included getting him kicked out of her house even though he helped stepmom KILL her mother and trafficking her as a child. Yeah.

ok ok I know you're not gonna believe this but next scene she comes in and sits at family table like nothing happened and Papa BigBucks announces.... he's leaving FL his estate *gasp* I kid you not. Nothing about stepmom committing MURDER.
I guess FL's dad decides she doesn't get any inheritance since she killed his wife, but, she can go ahead a keep living like a rich wife. WHUTTTT?

looks like rest of my review got cut off/deleted :(
