Repeatedly raped by the male lead, the female lead is abused and undeservingly deprived of dignity by most characters in this drama. That is not an understatement, and even when her pre-abused life, crashes in, the taint in the story remains. Some friends have no loyalty; family acquaintances, bizarre motives; the entitled, never held criminally responsible for any of their actions. It is a hard watch, and to think the male lead, is a hero from her childhood. No. That story line never goes anywhere, except for misdirection as the male lead tries to get information via email, from his victim's (FL) mom.

This could have been a better drama, but for the physical and sexual assaults by the male lead. If that 'rape culture" scenario was removed, the underlying story of an obsessed man, insane step-mom, and the suicide of a stepbrother and son, it could be a good melodrama. But, rape is not romance, and does not belong in the romance genre. Avoid.
