I'm going to give this show a 10 on my review just because I can ;-)

For me, this show is a solid 8.5 stars.
I loved it back when I watched it and enjoyed a rewatch even afterwards a few months back.
HOWEVER, I'm going to give this show a 10 on my review just because I can and because I don't think the show deserves the hate & low rating it's getting. Makes me think there is a "reason" people are trashing and they're only saying the show sucks to justify whatever their agenda is. I (of course) could be reading too much into it as well. Either way... this show is good enough not to be dog-piled on.
Enjoy a light, not-to-serious romcom now and then with~
A sexy, rich ML?
A fun, interesting FL?
Fabulous side characters & gorgeous/fun 2nd ML?
Slightly complicated family dynamics?
Decent chemistry between leads? + hot kisses/scenes?
LOL worthy moments littered throughout the show?
Something to watch while you turn off your brain from over thinking and over analyzing and to just ENJOY A FREAKING FEEL-GOOD SHOW FOR ONCE???
This is the show for you. :)

A quick review to show my appreciation for a super special Japanese series. From the fabulous acting, to the super unique take on on the show (opening scenes are hilarious!) and the fantastic soundtrack, this show stands out as something truly memorable. I don't know that I've ever seen a Japanese series anywhere similar to this one before and it was a treat to watch. Romantic. Creative. Great Music. Wonderful Acting. I LOVED it! It was hard not to fall for both of the Male Leads, but even the side characters were well rounded. No girls slap-fighting over men, no over-the-top drama, or super jealous people plotting in the background, just a wonderful and heart-warming story. The show had a very old-school Hollywood vibe to it that was really felt through the music choices throughout the series- A serious compliment to the storyline.

Crazy-Fast Pacing & Interesting Storyline... but.

Plot is super-fast paced and I actually love the lead actors. The FL's dad is such a slimeball I actually want to skip his parts because he makes me uncomfortable when watching his maneuvering, shamelessness, and vileness. We all know why the FL came back and that's to get revenge, but, honestly, I'm seeing a lot of things almost happening on their own rather than because she had a hand in them.

Another question for me is why doesn't the ML just tell the FL who he is?

There seems to be tons going on but at the same time a whole lot of nothing. It's a little mind-boggling. With all the ML's power, why is he going about things the hard way? Same for the FL. Except for her plotting to get taken back into the family (in which the ML even saw through immediately and it seems the Grandma did too...) I don't see her smarts, her plans etc coming to any sort of point? Every time she even finds/brings in evidence, someone in her family just cries "family business" and it's swept under the rug or fobbed off on whomever is convenient.

FL, I'm guessing is supposed to be "cold hearted" in this but her character is coming off as mute/blank-faced instead.

Also that banquet was a little crazy... FL did absolutely nothing and 2ML just fell at her feet? Same for the one sister and Pei guy? Really? A glance and one person is betrothed and the other is suddenly the 2ML's one and only? yipes.

IDK... maybe I'm only still watching because of ML at this point and I didn't even realize it until I started my review LOL.
Still watching the last 12 episodes though ^_^
