Trick in Love (2023)

Cliched average romance

If you wanted to start this drama, you got have a reason. My reason was LGY and i came for him.
The trailer looked dope and everything about this drama looked intriguing but honestly, there was nothing interesting about this drama because it just an average revenge/ romance story.
We have a rich girl and rich boy. Girl is forced to marry a manwh*re so she devises a plan to get the ML while ML wants to have her cause of some childhood treasure memory. Falling in each others traps (and laps), there dont want to get out and the story continues down the cliche route. We see the normal "i will do anything for you" ML and "I am on my own and nobody to love me" FL.
The acceptable reason to still watch this drama while being heavily cliched is cause its short. The scenes switch fast. You can finish this drama within three hours and the best part is even if you skip (episodes), you still understand.
Ofc, the cast was lit. The FL was very weird to be in the beginning but she grew on me. There was also alot of cast for this small drama tho everyone did their part to fit in their role. The music was non-exisent. Even if it was there, it wasnt that noticable.
This is the drama for you if you just want to finish a small drama to finish your challenge or you are a new watcher. I wouldnt say this was epic but for whatever reason you came for, its easier to stay thinking abt it.

Trick in plot

For a mini series the story did what it was meant to do; provide a decent watch for a short while.

Basically, ML and FL know each other from childhood and later meet as adults with different intentions. ML- to fulfill his childhood promise and payback FL for her kindness. FL- to use him to escape her family and get revenge. The story is developed decently to try avoid a lot of plot holes so we are propelled forward most of the time by clichés as is expected. Nothing about the story is new; you have your savior ML and independent FL. Luckily they love each other that they always work to support each other so they don't really hurt each other despite their intentions getting into the relationship.

Unfortunately, the ending was a bit too rushed. Actually that is true for a lot of the conclusions of the storylines. Yes some are well executed but they are mostly just abrupt, don't make sense and even though it's what you want it just doesn't hit. But I guess that would be asking for too much given the nature of the series. Time is spent on relevant information for the plot so that's another plus. Otherwise decent story and watch if you want something quick to pass time.
