The male character were slightly better and more coherent, but I found myself grinding my teeth every time they were around a woman: sexism was skyrocketing, women were portraied like something to win over and own, and every rejection was seen as a challenge. I can't name one single relationship that was healthy, all of the "romances" were based on a wacked obsession rather than love.
Healthy relationship between parents and children? I don't know her.
Oh, almost forgot: the smartest character here has the IQ of a retarded celery stalk.
Going trough this lakorn was painful and it's such a shame because it had all the right cards to be a good story. The setting and the basis were promising but ,god, all of that went down the drain.

Total waste of time
This lakorn annoyed me so much I'm writing a review about it.As someone who has low expectations for lakorns, that watches and loves them for the drama and the messiness, someone who embraced the nonsense and toxicity, I hated this one more than I can express with words.
I can't believe the writers wrote this with their eyes open, seems like they used a spinning wheel of tropes and bullspit to put it together, that would explain why more than 10 episode are a copy/paste thing.
I can't believe the director and producers looked at this and went "yep, air it", like...how?
Not a single enjoyable character (maybe Tin, yes, the r@pist villain, the bar is that low), not a functioning braincell in sight.
No logical development, no character growth (just random forgiveness).
The comedy is comeding, the chemistry between the leads no where to be found and this their second drama together...
If you want to suffer do it for something that's worth it.

Can't help but be disappointed
I'm a Maid's Revenge baby so I was over the moon when this happened, I jumped on right away which was a mistake since the episodes are really short and some of them are really boring.The plot is nothing new nor original, but I think nobody will mind the predictably and the clichés. I expected the explosive chemistry between the leads, however the acting, in my opinion, was nowhere close to their previous work and the ultimate proof are the kiss scenes: if you thought they were good (I know you did, I've read the comments) wait till you see the ones in TBR, when I tell you they got me feeling shy, like I was intruding.
It wasn't definitely bad, especially considering it's a web drama, however couldn't help but feel a little disappointed because I expected more from the cast.
Absolutely valid if you want something light and short to binge watch.

The story is definitely unoriginal and there's a pair of clichés here and there, but it doesn't take anything away from the movie. It's lighthearted, hilarious.
The leads have great chemistry, plus they are so sweet and relatable (Michelle reactions whenever she's embarassed are priceless), I ended up checking out other works from both Fan Bing Bing and Aarif Rahman.
And of course it's always a pleasure seeing Daniel Henney.
