Was very confusing most of the time

It got confusing quickly. We are thrown into the middle of this whole thing with a bunch of characters who we don’t know who they are, adding some flashbacks on top of it made it very hard to follow. There are obviously a lot of different connections between all characters, but the lack of explanations means we don’t really get familiar with those connections.

The premise is quite interesting, I’ll admit that, but things are rushed. And that makes it choppy and hard to follow. Pluem / Kim is an interesting character, but he’s not the smartest. Also, slightly creepy at times. Khunkhao is not my favorite, and while we know Pluem is the one in Kim’s body, he doesn’t know that. Yet he’s flirting with a man who broke her sister’s heart. I’m sure that would make family reunions interesting.

The ending though… I should have expected something like that. Am I happy with it? Not really. Could it have been worse? Yes. Could it have been better? Yes.

Give up!!!

I really loved the series, I'm also really happy that the two finally got together and are about to marry.
It was clear with the video that it would come up again at some point.

I don't think that's necessarily an indicative of a second season (nobody needs that). Rather, it means that it just won't be easy for the two of them, even if they are married, because so many are against it. So life goes on as usual ? .

Well, the fact that both of them have had a partner before and therefore also sex should be clear, the video is just a real mess from her ex-husband, but all in all it won't change anything in their relationship.
Maybe the beast will do herself and her silly brother a favor and delete the video. Both siblings should have slowly understood that they never have a chance.

If you could just get someone who's solo, oh god who would I have had... LOL!!!
That must be a bit of a reciprocity thing. That's why I don't understand the point of still not giving up after the 100th rejection.

I'll be honest, it took me a while to get past the first episode as there are a lot of characters and things to set up carefully. I started and stopped multiple times. But once I sat down to watch it earnestly, the story doesn't let up and continues inexorably to its explosive climax towards the end. Fully-fleshed characters performed by a phenomenal cast, sophisticated writing and overall great production values make this a timeless, highly re-watchable instant classic.

Here's hoping there will be more dramas like this one in the future.

Charmed the socks off me!

I started watching this after a long string of incredibly written and mature K- and J-Dramas and was immediately reminded of why classic Thai dramas hold such a firm place in my heart.
This show is zany, over the top, and filled with an irreverent charm that leaves you wanting more at the end of each episode.
It has an interesting plot but keeps its focus firmly on developing a slow and gentle romance, allowing the characters all the time they need to grow both as people and as partners to each other, which lets the viewer form a closer bond with the characters and lets them (the viewers) get invested in these characters' lives which makes the whole story, ridiculous as it may seem on the surface, a lot more grounded and makes every single emotional scene all the more impactful. This is still quite a rarity in queer dramas and makes for a refreshing change of pace.

Now beware, slight spoilers ahead.
Some personal highlights (aka Things I Loved):
- The loving attention to detail the writers and directors clearly paid while designing the alternate universe. These details range from the simple (e.g. cone bread), to the hilarious and silly (e.g. off-key singing as an art form), to the genuinely meaningful (e.g. the legalisation of same-sex marriage) and cheekily remind the viewer every now and again to expect the unexpected and stay on their toes
- The bond shared between Puen, Talay, Up, and Aou, and later on Kita and Fuse as well. They are the boys, the lads, the gang, utterly inseparable and always, always there for each other. I'm a sucker for good depictions of (queer) friendships and these fellows delivered big time. This show says hug your homies, hold their hand, kiss their cheeks, tell them you love them, let them know how important they are to you, and they are so right about that actually! I will die on this hill!!
- The pacing and development of Puen and Talay's relationship. As I already mentioned the buildup to every major step in their relationship is very well handled and given ample time to unfold at a slow but steady pace, but it's not just that. The way the show approaches their connection to each other hit me like a thousand bricks and made me shed actual tears a lot more often than I'd like to admit. From almost the beginning of the show these two are incredibly fond of one another and their friendly bickering becomes increasingly gentle and tender until it becomes a dynamic of "I love you so much, so there, take that you idiot, I'm expressing my genuine affection for you, suck it nerd!" at which point I think I lost my heart to this show for good.
- Dol and their understated defiance of gender norms and expression. Dol may not have been explicitly written as a trans character, but their character serves to gently question what gender identity really is and what it means for our lives but also to us personally. I absolutely adore them and wish we'd gotten to see more of them, although they do play a significant role in developing several important plot points.
- The show's approach to love in all its forms. This story boldly and deliberately blurs the lines between platonic, romantic, and queer love and emphasizes the importance of true human connection over trying to force a relationship along a predetermined course. Sometimes love means getting to know somebody over the course of several years until you've come to adore every single facet of their being and it doesn't even matter what type of love you're feeling for each other as long as you get to stay together. At the same time love can also mean the specific labelling of feelings and relationships and the boundless joy and excitement that come with being officially "in love" or "best friends" or "the most important person in each others' lives". This show says "No matter what happens, I'll go through it with you". "Remember, where there's you, there's me", it says, "Thank you for teaching me not to be afraid of tomorrow".

Some personal lowlights (aka Things I Didn't Like):
- How quickly Talay manages to resolve all the problems Tess created after returning to his own universe. I'm glad there were no great, drawn-out conflicts, but I did find myself thinking "Boy that was fast" every time Talay magically fixes whatever Tess broke. A very minor gripe in the grand scheme of things.
- How unresolved Tess and Tun's story felt by the end of the show. I know they weren't the focus of the show, but all the plot threads of Tun's unrequited love for Tess, Tess and Tun's reconciliation and subsequent separation in the alternate universe, and Tess' eventual return to his original universe, were all just barely touched on before being dropped completely. I know they play relatively minor roles in the story as a whole, but given the interesting dynamic that was hinted at between them and how solid the chemistry between Ohm and Nanon (their actors) is as we all know, I wish we'd gotten to see just a little bit more of these two.

In conclusion: A slow-paced, charmingly written and acted story about love, love, and once again love. If you want a show that provides a window into the lives of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances who come to love each other deeply and fully while tugging at your heartstrings with how achingly gentle and real it feels, then this one is most definitely for you.

Missed opportunity ?

This had great potential. What a missed opportunity. Honestly, I had great expectations since everyone seemed to praise it. There are too many nc scenes and too many misunderstandings, zero communication, especially at the beginning. The misunderstanding at the end was redundant. What were the screenwriters thinking? It made zero sense? "He had a reason." No, he did not, Leo should have talked with Fiat. Another point: The nc scenes overpower the actual plot. Honestly, such a story should not have needed any at all, i feel like they felt unnecessary and overshadowed the depth this series should have had. They never really talk about Fiat's trauma and what he went thru. They only take it to bed, "oh he had a mental breakdown and just calmed down? Let's take it to bed!" It made me upset, as if what Leo loved was not Fiat himself but his body. One point they touched on but never really talked about and brushed aside was Fiat's mom. The dangers of pregnancy, she turned out the way she did after she gave birth. Baby blues, post partum depression, and even going crazy and many more issues can arise after giving birth. It happened to my great cousin. Honesty it is terrifying. What made me frown was like how the dad never noticed or anyone else for that matter, I understand it can go completely unnoticed but never thought of treatment? Just kick her out of the house and get a new wife. What an ass.

I'll give it 2 and a half. Just because the acting wasn't that bad and they touched on some real issues albeit with no success. Honestly as someone with trauma I did not like how they handled the whole issue with Fiat's trauma and his terrible experiences, no real actions were taken. They pretty much had the mindset "love will heal it". Which is complete bs.

The Must-See Wuxia avec Xiao Zhan ❤❤❤ et Wang Yi Bo ❤❤❤

I hesitated for a long time to watch this drama, yet highly recommended, because I'm not a BL fan. But I ended up immersing myself in it and I do not regret this choice. It really is The Must-See Wuxia with Xiao Zhan ❤❤❤ and Wang Yi Bo ❤❤❤.

PLOT:
Great epic (50 episodes) of struggle between Good and Evil (sects of immortals / martial arts + cable fights of all kinds).
Meeting, alliance and super bromance between Wei WuXian (from a spiritual sect - big family with powers & rules) and Lan Zhan (from the sect of Lightbearers, very strict more than 3000 rules:). They investigate strange events, fight together against evils & ghost puppets, try to thwart the plans of several villains who want Yin Metal & the Tiger seal to have absolute power.

PROS:
+ no explicit BL (like the novel) but a palpable chemistry in the CL, with adorable Xiao Zhan, with a cute smile, as mischievous and mischievous Wei Wuxian.
+ Super OST, epic, perfectly adapted to the emotions (especially the duet of the ending song with Xiao Zhang and Yi Bo)
+ Excellent actors, all of them, even the most annoying ones (whom we hate with all our hearts :)
+ Excellent special effects
+ Very successful fight scenes
+ costumes & make-up at the Top
+ beautiful scenery & landscapes

CONS:
- Complex story & characters (a bit hard to get into).

=> MASTERPIECE, A must see for the quality of the cinematography, but especially for the 2 TOP leads!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
J'ai longtemps hésité à regarder ce drama, pourtant chaudement recommandé, parce que je ne suis pas fan de BL. Mais j'ai fini par m'y plonger et je ne regrette pas ce choix. C'est vraiment The Must-See Wuxia avec Xiao Zhan ❤❤❤ et Wang Yi Bo ❤❤❤.

PLOT:
Grande épopée (50 épisodes) de lutte entre le Bien et le Mal (sectes d'immortels / arts martiaux + fight câblés en tous genres).
Rencontre, alliance et super bromance entre Wei WuXian (issu d'une secte de spirituels - grande famille avec pouvoirs & règles) et Lan Zhan (de la secte des porteurs de Lumière, très stricte + de 3000 règles :). Ils enquêtent sur des évènements étranges, se battent ensemble contre les evils & les marionnettes fantômes, essaient de déjouer les plans des evils qui veulent le Yin Metal & le sceau du Tigre pour avoir le pouvoir absolu.
CONS:
+ pas de BL explicite (like the novel) mais une alchimie palpable dans le CL, avec Xiao Zhan adorable, au sourire craquant, en Wei Wuxian malicieux et espiègle.
+ Super OST, épiques, parfaiement adaptés aux émotions (notamment le duo de la ending song avec Xiao Zhang et Yi Bo)
+ Excellents acteurs, tous, même les plus agaçants (que l'on déteste de tout coeur :)
+ Excellents effets spéciaux
+ Scènes de fight très réussies
+ costumes & make-up au Top

Sweet and funny transmigration story

This is a small gem. The storyline of a hand-illustrator entering the novel she is about to work on, is great. It’s funny, sweet and interesting. The ending is a bit of a letdown, but I chose to see it as a potential open ending towards a second season.
Character wise:
FL is a modern day hand-illustrator who is sweet and righteous.
ML is a conflicted and skilled martial artist who is under pressure to become a painter.
Acting wise this is really good and the actors do a good job within the limited timeframe.
So, if you love a sweet and funny romantic comedy - and don’t mind the somewhat open ending - this is definitely well worth watching.

cosa ho appena finito di vedere?

questa recensione è molto breve e credo si basi tutto sul fatto che se all’inizio le cose più o meno si capiscono perché il signore delle mosche lo abbiamo letto tutti e tutti sappiamo come si comportano i capponi di Renzo quando l’aitante uomo va dall’amico (che poi amico non è) Azzecca Garbugli) che si vogliono uccidere e quindi dovrebbero fare gruppo, ma non lo fanno? ecco, prendi questi presupposti, aggiungici una coppia BL (che ho apprezzato, easy, erano Mark e Perth), un po’ di GL, gente che si da da fare nel bel mezzo del nulla e hai la trama dei primi due episodi. poi va tutto downhill e non si capisce più nulla. poi non è che gli attori non siano bravi (anzi, amo Perth e Mark, e si sono l’unica ragione per cui ho visto la storia, quindi non voletemene se parlo solo di loro)(e no, non lo ho visto perché loro sono la coppia BL, ma solo perché mi piacciono molto (e molto è riduttivo) come attori), però tutto il resto di capisce poco, male e ci sono dei mostri. lo salvo per Mark, Perth (mi piace che ogni tanto inverto l’ordine), Nawin (che avevo scoperto in seguito essere presente nel cast) e i luoghi in cui è stato girato. overall è carino, forse avrebbe giovato di una seconda stagione che ahimè, vista la prematura scomparsa dell’attore non si è potuta fare

A series so good that it will stay with you

Amidst the backdrop of Chinese content restrictions on LGBTQ themes, this emerges as a remarkable series that transcends limitations, delivering a heartwarming tale that lingers in your thoughts. Witnessing the transformation of the two main characters from adversaries to lovers is a truly gratifying experience, subtly portraying their blossoming affection in a context where explicit declarations are constrained.

Even as the narrative draws inspiration from the original "Addicted" series, "Stay with Me" unveils the lives of two high school students, Su Yu and Wu Bi, whose personalities clash vehemently. Oblivious to the fact that their estranged parents are now married, the series deftly navigates their interactions as their connection deepens, unravelling the complexities of their family dynamics.

Within its narrative, the series embraces a spectrum of emotions, including drama, nuanced romance, friendship, unrequited love, and the intricate relationships between parents and children. It effortlessly weaves mystery and action, making each episode a captivating chapter in their journey. At the heart of the series is the brilliant portrayal of the lead characters, showcasing the remarkable talents of Xu Bin and Zhang Jiong Min. Xu Bin brings Wu Bi's fiery yet compassionate persona to life, capturing his internal struggles, love, and longing. His portrayal of a young man who values love over material wealth resonates deeply. Zhang Jiong Min's performance as Su Yu is equally mesmerizing. He masterfully conveys the layers of emotions beneath Su Yu's academic prowess, unveiling a character driven by unresolved feelings, yet undeterred in showing his affections.

Together, Xu Bin and Zhang Jiong Min convey the intricate relationships their characters share with family members and with each other. The series adeptly navigates their evolving bond through moments of conflict, jealousy, and an irresistible yearning to be together. Amidst their squabbles, the underlying affection remains unshaken, reflected in their mutual support and sacrifices for each other's happiness.

The subtlety in portraying their love is a testament to the series' finesse. While misunderstandings and fights occasionally punctuate their relationship, the unspoken emotions remain intact. Their mutual protectiveness and genuine care are reflected in their actions, whether it's Wu Bi's watchful eye on Su Yu or Su Yu's unwavering support for Wu Bi's aspirations.

In conclusion, this series triumphs as a superior adaptation, filling the void left by “Addicted”. The exceptional performances, engaging music, and heartfelt narrative combine to create an emotionally rich experience. While the series concludes with a cliffhanger, one can only hope for a second season to continue this captivating journey of love and self-discovery.

The comedic elements are what set this series apart from its kind. It’s most enjoyable when it doesn’t take itself too seriously or tries to be deep. It’s light entertainment and is best viewed with that expectation.

The Voidwalkers carry most of the comedy here. Special mentions to Chen Mu Zhi, who has the most priceless of expressions, and Cao Bo as the best sidekick ever. Yuan Ran as Consort Xue is delightful as a mother who is sly yet supportive. It’s hilarious to watch these guys run around trying to outmaneuver each other and manipulate the poor, oblivious Qing Kui. Their generally attitude is “yeah, Kui is a naïve and dumb princess, but she’s *our* naïve and dumb princess.” The Void itself feels more real than our Mortal realm with so many rich details woven seamlessly into the dialogues and subplot. They also get the best costumes: dark, form-fitting, and downright sexy, especially the palace maid outfits. And it doesn’t hurt that the Void men have great physique (yes, the Void King rules in more ways than one).

By comparison, Heaven and Mortal realms are bland. Maybe it’s the cast, maybe it’s the direction, or maybe it’s a little bit of both. Ye Tan and Xuan Shang are ok as our Heavenly lead couple. Their chemistry is like a flickering light, sometimes it’s there, a lot of times it’s not. Their best moments are when he is in his La Mu form. Their worst moments come when they try to be funny and cute. While Landy Li and Chen Xing Xu are capable dramatic actors, they are not comic actors by nature and it shows. Chen Xing Xu’s dubbed voice is much too deep and detracts from his performance.

Watch this for the Void realm and its deliciously cheeky denizens. Watch this for Qing Kui and Zhao Feng's bad boy and naïve girl romance. Watch it for the great looking cast. Most of all, watch it with your FF button close at hand.

overall not funny but with a few cute moments

Overall: although this is supposed to be a comedy, it didn't even get into the "so bad it's good" category. See my watch suggestion timing below for some cute parts. 6 episodes about 40 minutes each. Aired on GagaOOLala.

Content Warnings: manipulation, manhandling, punch/fight/violence, drugging

Note: the depiction of a person with disabilities in episode 4-6 was not funny. Humor can be used to dehumanize people, I think people should be very careful when making fun of groups of people who historically and currently face discrimination and dehumanization. Ryan O'Connell (who has cerebral palsy) wrote and acted in the Netflix series Special which was well done and funny.

Watch Suggestion, if you want to give this a go and see a few cute moments with the two leads I suggest:
ep 1, 28-29 and 33-36
ep 2, 13-25 and 28-37
ep 3, 16-24
ep 4, 7-18, 23-25
ep 5, 31-33
ep 6, start at 37 thru to the end (could watch earlier if you want more plot explanation and fight scene with terrible sound effects)

What I Liked:
- Luv's supportive friends
- Frank's abs and Long Lee's smirk
- that the two leads were mutually attracted to one another
- a few cute moments
- BTS at the end of ep 1 (though not subbed)

Room For Improvement
- some of the plot nonsense was intentional but explaining everything at the very end didn't work for me
- the depiction of someone with a disability was not funny to me at all
- didn't think most of it was funny (except the Muay Thai was fun and maybe a couple other bits like the slow accidental fall and catch at the very end)
- 3 minute intro was too long
- the voice dubbing (I think this was done for comedy but I really disliked it), and then the internal voices were odd to

A fun, wholesome and beautiful drama

If you are looking for something wholesome and laid back to watch then this is THE drama for you.
It's very rare for me to fall in love with a drama this much....the story, the characters, the setting, the music - literally everything is perfect.....you might think I'm exaggerating a bit and maybe I am but this sure deserves it.....
While I fly towards you might not have the fast paced plot or the twists and turns or the thrill that all the other dramas have but it sure will stay with you forever.......this is the kind of story I can see myself watching over and over and never getting bored of.
The drama is soooo well written, well portrayed, well executed, it's hard to find a single flaw.
While I fly towards is a slow burn romance and I seriously just could NOT stop smiling at all those cute scenes between the leads and literally every other scene....
Along with the eye pleasing romance, the friendships are something to talk of..... the friendship between the characters is soooo strong and it's just soo heartwarming to watch them together..... also the relationship every character has with their families or teachers is just soo beautiful.....
It just feels like the whole drama is soo thought about and very well revised that there is literally nothing wrong with it...
I could go on and on praising this beautifully wholesome drama which hits you in all the right places but I'll just end it here saying that you guys need to watch this. ASAP.
EDIT: Even though I absolutely loved this drama, after completing it.... I have come to realize that this is a very idealistic plot and honestly very plain and simple....One could say that these are the charms of this drama......something to be watched in order to destress and smile....

everything is going to absolute shit and Nueng and Palm are just being gay on some goofy ass island

I am doing average right now because I watched the show Hella Spread Out. I watched Ephesians 7–12 in the past day, and for the rest, I don't know how long it has been since I have seen them. The average is 8.5833 stars out of 10 stars, and I rounded down to 8.5 stars out of 10 stars. Okay, let's do this fast because I have to get ready for work. And I have no idea what my headline is going to be. if anything is spelled wrong, that's my bad.

Starting off, I absolutely hated Nuengdiao. He was unlikable and just getting on my nerves. I understood why he has no friends and no one likes him. Palm was very chill and just kind of took all of Nueng's sh*t at the beginning. This was a lot for me to process from the start. I could already tell these two were going to clash, and at first I had no idea how they were even going to get together. I started this on May 7, 2023. Which is always fun.

The second episode was way better than the first one. It filled a lot of the plot holes that the first episode left open. That's the point of episodes, but whatever. I started to understand Nuengdiao more, who he was, and where he was coming from. I am obsessed with the contrast between Pond and Phuwin's voices; it was just smooth, and I loved it. It really added to the characters and plot so much. I was watching this instead of doing homework, lol.

The episodes start to get better the more we get to know the characters. Palm and his thick skull were breaking chairs. Palm is actually really strong because theres a lot of times where any normal person would have actually just given up and just died It's me; I am a normal person. He was apparently dazed in Episode 3, and I thought it was the best part of the episode. clearly not that good if I can't remember it.

I have no idea where episode 4 is. Found it. I couldn't remember anything because it had been a month since I watched Episode 3. I said that Nuengdiao is the mofo with no friends because he's a little bitch. Which isn't technically wrong. Palm is his boy guard, which is real. I think I meant body guard, but boy guard works too. I couldn't remember if Chopper was his cousin or if he was the guy who had a crush on him. Which is valid. Ben was for real getting on my nerves with his shit, my god.

Fuck ben. He is a pussycat for not telling the truth to his dad. Everything is somehow his fault—not really, but I am blaming him for every single thing that went wrong after episode 5. He was fueling Nueng's violence and vilian era, which sadly never happened. I was praying that Tanya lived because I loved her so much. Ben's dad saying that Nueng was gay because his dad died was so fucking annoying. Your son is gay too, and you aren't dead? Shut up. I got back into the show because Nueng became way more tolerable, and I started to love him so much.

I'm still hoping that Tanya didn't die because she actually didn't even want that. It started to become obsessive that Nueng had a thing for palm, and I am glad they didn't make it where Nueng was only gay for palm because I hate that trope. He was just gay and liked the palm. That's always fun. Nueng was trusting people to easily, and that was his downfall in all of this. And Palm started to have a thing for Nueng, and it was past work at that point. But he was trying to keep it professional because workplace romance never works out for anyone in the end, especially the employee.

Bark like you want It was there song. I felt terrible for Palms dad because he was just trying to protect his son and his boss. "Everything is going to absolute shit, and Nueng and Palm are just being gay on some goofy ass island." That hit. That might be my headline, lol. Phuwin's visuals are beautiful, and I love him.

They were in the honey moon phase for like one episode, and then the fact they were on the actual run kicked them in the face. the ATM exposed them and where they were. Nueng was turning around and becoming a good person. It's good for him to be honest. Palm has a serious temper; I didn't realize that until I saw the sh*t he was pulling. They were very much in love, and the whole world came to kick their asses.

We had their first break up with them leaving each other. I hate Nueng's uncle; he was getting on everyone's nerves for real, and everyone was blaming poor Chopper. I felt bad for everyone involved besides Uncle Kit or whatever his stupid name was.

That guy at the end said you really thought they would stay happy. Bam. Nueng, Chopper, and Palm are slowly having villains made out of them. With the parents dying in front of them or being hella corrupted. They are having villains made out of them.

Probably the best episode 11 I have ever seen. Chopper, come get you, daddy. They are going to have a palm at gunpoint, and he is going to sign it. Then Tanya or Chopper, is going to step in. These are the predictions. I love Nueng and Palm; they are actually so cute. I love me some fake boyfriend turned real boyfriend.

My predictions were half right for this one. A pretty mid-end to an actually really good show. I was eating this show up at the beginning, but I ended up falling flat on my face for all the characters and everything. They broke up and got back together so much that it wasn't even funny. I need to get ready for work, but I am going to write this review. I am surprised Nueng didn't become a Viliian; he watched his dad die in front of him and his mom get shot and put into a coma. He watched his lover's mom die in front of him; he wanted his uncle to get shot, and then he watched his uncle shoot his lover. I am glad he ended up being good, but that would have been such a good villain origin story, lol.

These last two are my reviews for the episodes because I am a lazy fucker and have to go to work, but I love everyone in this. This was fun, but had a pretty mid-ending. cant way to watch the our skyy. I would recommend it, it's funny. There's not a dull moment with these two. Okay bye!

I was invested

I have watched my fair share of xianxia and this is the best one I've seen. Usually, when a show has about 40 episodes or more it takes a few episodes for the story to fully hook me. But Lost You Forever had the perfect first episode which both evoked emotion and made you want to watch more. The way they introduced Xiaoyao and Cang Xuan was heartbreaking but it made me want to know more about them. Also, the fact that there were 3 main potential interests made things so much more interesting. It was not the situation where I liked one but hated the other, but rather you get to appreciate the different characteristics they all possess (But I was definitely team Tushan Jing the whole time). Sometimes in xianxia the FLs tend to be kind of ditzy and naive but Xiaoyao was the complete opposite and I loved it! She was a bit hard headed at times but she carried this show!

A BRILLIANT WATCH

Has Potential

This drama had so much potential, but they took it the wrong direction. First off let me explain the pros of this drama.

Pros: The storyline/plotline was good. As I was reading what it was about, I got excited and went to watch right away. The first couple of episodes were good. They kept you in for sure, and I was laughing throughout. The acting was straight on. The actors did a great job with their characters and did well displaying their emotions.

Cons: I was so upset at the ML, and here's why..* SPOILER*..... The ML had a "relationship" with Vicky. So they were considered together, and Vicky considered them an actual couple. So for now, let's just say they were in a relationship, cuz they kind of were. Knowing that he was in a relationship, the ML continued to chase after the FL. Like.... DUDE! Break up the "relationship with Vicky. He doesn't actually say no to the marriage until the last episode. And during this time he never did anything about it. Not to mention, the FL knew that he was "engaged", and continued on with him. Like where is the loyalty?? Obviously he doesn't like Vicky. She's the kind of 2FL that we all hate in dramas. So what's the answer here? Break up the "engagement" and say NO. Honestly.. so annoying. Because of this, Vicky kept on thinking things were possible with him. SideNote: The episodes are long. So it feels like you're watching it forever, and it drags on.

Overall, I felt that there was too many misunderstandings, too many annoying characters who won't back off and leave the couples be. Honestly, if the ML had just ended things with the 2FL earlier, I would have been a lot less upset. I feel like you could still have a good show with drama, but without the prolonging of things, if that makes sense. I still recommend this drama because it has that potential. Things do get resolved at the end, and everyone gets their happy ending. So I guess it was all worth it.
