the casts were all good looking and pretty and all had decent acting.
the leads had good chemistry. (they had some good kisses!!)
the editing felt choppy at times and some episodes starts in a new plot point without any build up but this is common in short cdramas with 5minutes long episodes.
overall it wasn't bad but could've been a lot better!
38 episodes were too much. they could wrap up with 25 or so episodes.
the last 10 episodes were just stretching the story for nothing.'
I don't mind cliche tropes but they tried to insert too many cliche into the drama that it felt writers had a checklist, I'll list a few none-spoiler ones bellow:
-drugged fl
-orphan fl
-love at first sight
-rich ceo ml, poor fl
-protective ml... with a hint of red flag.
-bully coworkers (it was very very short)
-cheater ex
-annoying 2fl
-fl cries a lot
-love triangle (the guy was good actually)
there were few more but I don't want to spoil the drama much so I'll leave them for those interested to see for themselves.
thank god they left out the kidnapping trope!
from the start of the drama it felt like fl would take matters to her own hands and deal with those who wronged her but to be honest fl couldn't do much by herself and most of the time ml was letting her use him to deceive others.
Also I don't call fl dumb but I don't categorize her as smart either.
so don't expect a smart, calculative and independent fl.
I didn't notice the ost much while watching.
I would've rated it 7 or 7.5 if the last 10 episodes didn't drag as much as they did. also ending was a bit rushed as well.
All that said, I don't regret watching this drama. it was an okay watch to pass time but I won't re-watch it in future.
In conclusion:
*if you are not used to the short cdrama format, the editing and jumps between plots might bother you a bit.
*It's a cliche fest so don't expect something ground breaking.
*there were few scenes of SA e.g. ep12 & 13 (so proceed with caution if that bothers you)
