My expectations were way too high. TW: Don't read if you don't criticism well.

Before I dive in, here are some things I want to stress about a 10/10 drama for me. It has to be captivating from beginning to end; it has to have a high rewatch value; it has to not have a part where I want to spam the "skip 10 seconds "button. <-These are just some of my standards. I am someone who doesn't like recommendations as I get expectations. Other than Untamed, I got high recommendations for this drama.

I don't know if the reason I don't like this dramas is because my standards have been raised my K-dramas (I just started writing reviews so you won't find that many reviews for K-dramas). I recently heard that there were three versions of the drama (Korean, Chinese, Japanese). The Korean version, Boys over Flowers, is on my watchlist, but I have heard very split opinions on it (either very good or very bad). As one of my few watched C-dramas, I wouldn't say I'm particularly fond of the amount of episodes in C-dramas. I prefer the Korean standard: 16 episodes, 1 hour long each. As for the story, I wouldn't say it's half bad. It was VERY predictable for the five episodes that I watched though I might have judged it early. It's the typical "short poor average girl with tall handsome rich dude" storyline. The main reason why I dropped this title is because I came for Dylan Wang, but his character's personality [and hairstyle] was complete trash. I am currently watching another title with the female lead: A Love so Beautiful (which I think I will drop soon). Though C-dramas are known to be the most realistic of the three genres (K-dramas, J-dramas. C-dramas), I found this so CRINGE and not realistic AT ALL.
