Don’t let the ratings fool you

I don’t write reviews but I feel the comments from most viewers got me shaking my head through out this drama.
Thankfully after watching a short online clip I popped in here & only read another positive review before starting this.
I wanted to leave a comment but what I wanted to say is obviously too long so I’m leaving it here in review.

First off this drama’s main genre tag is Business… why anyone would expect a housewife of 10 yrs that got cheated on then somehow developed low self esteem & had nothing to her name with a sh*tty family to have complete confidence in herself is just nonsense.
These comments about her character I feel needed to review her starting point.
It’s other tag is Life meaning it ain’t always gonna be sunshine & flowers like your regular mainstream & the people/ characters aren’t always gonna be straight or proper.
From ep 1 it’s very clear the FL is well educated & speaks fluent English…she even has a resume that indicated she had a studied background for managing before marriage.
10 yrs of no work experience is obviously understandable that she won’t get positions in this field but why is it so hard for ppl to understand that it doesn’t make a person incompetent even though her work growth is obviously bias because she is recognised early on & the fact that the ML was clearly using her so he doesn’t have to risk using anyone from the chain of corrupt ppl he was trying to push out.

And her growth in housekeeping & clients is not at all surprising since being a trophy wife of a business man that deals with perfection, luxury & company dinners & events would be a piece of cake in her hands.
As for the slow burn romance..yes it’s very slow but it’s honestly realistic.
Both leads got a lot to prove on a turning point in their lives so romance is subtle, was treaded carefully & shown through their support at work.
I didn’t feel this impacted the drama in any way negative since the business aspect was a good follow & their chemistry when they did got together was worth the wait.
Although her hesitations afterwards was a bit annoying but considering what she’s been through she can somehow be excused.
My only main complaint in this department is some of her actions with the other suitor.
Overall it’s not perfect but in but it’s actually a good watch.

****
If you only want romance this isn’t for you.
If you want that mainstream upstanding ML this may also not be for you since he ain’t perfect in the beginning…that’s for his character growth.
If you don’t have the mindset to follow a business growth venture then this definitely isn’t for you.
This drama is very enjoyable only if you are in the right mindset otherwise don’t go in expecting sunshine but hate the sun.
If you read this whole comment & you might still be interested then give it a shot.
This rating is actually a rare disappointment in MDL for me because I simply read the gother comments & feel most weren’t understanding the plot’s intensions or expecting a lot from a correctly tagged genre.
