An honest review
When I first hear of this new drama, I was anticipating it's release. But since I wasn't familiar with how long new episodes come out, I'd opted to wait for the whole drama to finish first.
When I first read the synopsis I really really liked it. I don't know why but sometimes I do like me some shallow love-hate relationships, a cute rom-com to brighten my day. True enough when I watched it, it was somewhat what I expected it to be.
First things first, I really really liked the main leads. Their chemistry is off the roof. Glad they were the ones who portrayed the leads.
Now for the plot. Okay, don't get me wrong a cute love-hate relationship/ co-habitation/ contract marriage plot is really really one of my favourites!!! BUT, what I didn't really like about this was how much of a jerk the ML was to the FL. First, he sent her to his mortal enemy. ALONE. in a car. Like WTH right? But it just gets worst from there. What really really didn't sit well with me was the part when he drugged her and attempted to rape his wife. Like hello?!!! There's a thing called marital rape. I know you did it because you love her and you don't want her to divorce you BUT more so reason to not rape her. WTH. RAPE IS RAPE. period. And then, at the end they showed that the ML started liking the FL wayyyyy back during their high school days. It's sweet I know but it's one of the biggest loophole in the story. If you've been liking someone for that long how the hell can you still be a jerk to her. You're saying this but what you're doing is going against what you're saying??? I don't know it's so confusing. Why not just prove your love to her, reassure your wife of your feelings. It's seemed the most rational thing to do.
Another thing that confused me while watching was the transition of scenes. Like OMG it was so all over the place that I gave up trying to analyze what was happening and just decided to go with the flow. Like in the first few episodes, where the FL hacked the data of the company. It just came out of nowhere. It took sometime to figure out what was happening. And honestly, that wasn't the only one. There was so much that I really can't name everything.
I'm a fan of cliches in romcom but here, it was just too much honestly. If you just focus on the main plot it's a cute simple story. I'm sure this is not for everyone but still don't regret watching it. It was okay.
