sickening violence

ok, i can see no one mentioned the gore scenes... in fact, it seems to me the director himself was unsure if he wanted to make a light-hearted romance or a gangster movie. the mixture of the two is quite balanced most of the time, still it becomes gory in seconds. why cant we just peacefully enjoy the pretty faces and the predictable plot and the mediocre acting of FL? all the rest was said already ............. .... ..........................................................................................................................................

Based on all the good recommendations I really tried to make it through this drama. I got through episode seven and I just couldn’t take it anymore. I have seen the last severed limb that I wan to see. That’s on top of the other hand that was cut off, a guy being burned alive, two men being hanged, a man being buried alive, a woman being shot and then drowned, and this is just to name a few of the violent acts that were shown. And I mean they were really shown with blood and gore, nothing spared. I expected some gangster in my love story, but this was more of a mob story than a love story. The love story itself was not done well at all. I say skip this one unless you like mob stories.

so i just finished this lakorn and i can say that this is the top1 out of the lakorn that i've watched so far.
acting,cast, storyline were so good that i can't find a word to describe it.
i really enjoyed it.
but the only flaw of this lakorn is daniel being stupid, in episode 11 i really hated him.
*spoiler*
if he really love fahsai, then why he must marry kwan, just for that stupid responsibility:?! huh?
and force fahsai to love someone who she doesn't? tho i love chen ming. haha but well its still

so that's it. i highly recommend this lakorn to everyone. as for those saying that they didnt like the main couple lead, i think it really depends on u.
add; the feels of this lakorn is like those watty stories that i've read. i feel so empty right after i finished it.
AND AH JO DESERVES BETTER!!!!!

This was the first lakorn I watched, it really made me want to watch more.
It was a good mixture of romance and action.

Super cast but wasted by a really rotten script !

I watched this lakorn for the ML=MIK -super hot :) and the great comments.

The 1st episodes are bearable even if you can see that the action scenes are not of Hollywood level. They make it up with a lot of gun shootings from all sides ;)
I hung on based on the good reviews, and hoping the quality of the show would improve.

BUT I cracked around the 10th episode and started skipping.
Why ??
I'm a little used to lakorns and I manage to bear the super melodramatic side of some series, but I've never seen such a rotten scenario. The story and the characters are badly written... The production is super slow at times.

Examples:
- The FL is a walking cliche: the nice and super innocent girl, who preaches GOOD to mafia gangs, while a deadly shooting is happening ??? Seriously ?
- The mobsters (except the bad guys who are dead) will all find redemption?
- The ML who tries to give up on his love for the benefit of his ex-best friend?

In short, for me this drama is a beautiful mess. With actors of this level, they could have made a great drama...
As you will understand, I will not watch it again (even with a lockdown of several months :)

J'ai regardé ce lakorn pour le ML = Mike -super hot :) et les bons commentaires.

Les 1ers épisodes sont supportables même si on voit bien que les scènes d'action ne sont pas du niveau Hollywood. Ils se rattrapent en canardant de tous les côtés ;)
Je me suis accrochée en me basant sur les bons commentaires, et en espérant que la qualité de la série allait devenir meilleure.

MAIS j'ai craqué vers le 10eme épisode et commencé à zapper.
Pourquoi ??
J'ai un peu l'habitude des lakorns et je supporte le côté super mélo de certaines séries, mais je n'ai jamais vu un scénario aussi pourri. L'histoire et les personnages sont mal écrits... La réalisation est super lente par moments.

Exemples :
- La FL est un cliché ambulant : la fille gentille et super innocente, qui prêche le BIEN à des gangs de mafia, quand des balles lui sifflent aux oreilles ??? Sérieux ?
- Les mafieux (sauf les méchants qui sont morts) vont tous trouver le droit chemin ?
- Le ML qui sacrifie son amour au profit de son ex-meilleur ami ?

Bref, pour moi ce drama est un beau gâchis. Avec des acteurs de ce niveau, ils auraient pu faire un super drama...
Vous l'aurez compris, je ne le regarderai pas à nouveau (même avec un confinement de plusieurs mois :)
