Just by the premise alone, you can tell that this drama will be full of tropes, including, but not limited to: Rich Man/Poor Woman, Boss/Employee, Fake Relationship, Contract Marriage, etc. So, going in, I already expected that it would be a show filled with cliches, and probably have ill-timed laughter that serves no purpose except to be adorable. And this show just does that in the beginning.

We are presented with a female lead who had to grapple with so many false accusations because of her looks. It was one problem that is supposedly plaguing someone so pretty that you are supposed to feel sorry for her, and thus a young, handsome man (not to mention rich) falls on her lap to solve all her issues. It’s all fine and dandy until the latter half of the show.

Here, the drama tried to incorporate heavier topics like the implication of infidelity, implied abuse and other conflicts that came out of left field, that I wonder whether even if it’s the same story we are dealing with. We also see Ayaka's family being supportive of her despite their financial struggles. My only gripe here is that they seem to be happy despite their dire situation, with so many mouths to feed and a baby on the way. Haven’t they ever heard of condoms?

Nevertheless, it is a decent effort by the production crew, especially by the main leads who carried most of the drama weight on their shoulders.
