IT’S A DUD!!! GOOD ACTING BUT STUPID SCRIPT, STUPID CHARACTERS

IT’S A DUD!!! GOOD ACTING BUT STUPID SCRIPT, STUPID CHARACTERS

Mystery thriller in the first episodes, but turned romance in the middle eps. Thrill reappeared after this slump — when the caller entered the scene again.

EARLY EPISODES

I don’t get ML’s seeming animosity towards FL. Why does he seem to HATE FL when we would learn later that he’d been protecting her and finding her as his source of comfort. And that all along he knew that she’s being treated unfairly by her mother.

So, to me, this seeming disrespect toward FL is uncalled for. Especially when he told her to take the wedding gown off. He could have said it in a more friendly and respectful manner —because FL did nothing wrong, and he knows that.

And the THREE YEARS they spent under one roof — without eating or sleeping together!! I don’t get that, really. And the reasons (given in the middle eps) were lame at best.

It seems the writer did that just to fit in the “enemies-to-lovers” trope, which is now is overused, really.

*****

Also UNINTENTIONALLY FUNNY is when FL did sign language interpretation in an event where there were no deaf or mute folks in the audience. The scene is forced — just so the two will have their first public appearance together.

🙄

JUST WHEN I THOUGHT that the story is predictable, Ep 9’s cliffhanger gave us a very unexpected revelation. I guess nobody saw that coming.

And then, ANOTHER twist soon followed (Ep 10). Wow.

*****

THE REVELATION (EP 10). When ML revealed to the whole world that he is not who they think he is, he proceeded with the drama about loving his wife. Super corny scene/script. Ok, fine.

BUT… no explanation was given as to who he really is and why he pretended to be the son of a presidential candidate??? And the media people didn’t ask why?? ALL became stupid and unthinking?? Wow. Is that realistic?? 🙄

In Ep 11 the father (presidential candidate) explained to the press “what really happened.” Okay. And this is a day or two after ML’s big revelation. I mean, hello??? What happened RIGHT AFTER ML’s revelation? No one really bothered to ask??? Not even his staff? That just seems incredible!

*****

Also in Ep 11 (penultimate ep), there’s another revelation — from the kidnapper; but he just whispered it to ML. ML was dumbfounded and teared up. What is it? And why did he look at FL?? I guess we’ll have to wait till the finale to know what it is.

But ML being the REAL son of the old rich man is not new anymore. This was revealed earlier by the professor (the mother who was arrested).

SPEAKING OF THE MOTHER, the scene where she killed the old man — that was also forced. The old man is dying!! Couldn’t she wait?? Did she really have to do that?? Stupid move from stupid character.

*****

FINALE

What?? ML disappeared (hid) from everyone — including FL?? For SIX MONTHS?!! Without giving any reason?? Another major roll-eye moment. This is as — if not more — cruel than his initial treatment of FL. Sheeez….

For whatever reason he has, SIX MONTHS is waaaay too long. Does he think his wife has no feelings??? Grrr.

Now I’m watching in 1.5x speed. Too bad, Netflix had no 2x speed.

*****

NOW, WE’VE ENTERED A REBEL TERRITORY
and we have only 30 minutes more to go.

Who watches sunsets in rebel territories??? 🙄

*****

STUPID FL RISKS HER LIFE
and stupid ML scolds her after saving her —
after not seeing her for SIX MONTHS!!!

Then, stupid ML asks, “Why are you here?”

Stupid!!! 🤣

Haha!!! Can this get any funnier???

*****

And it DID get funnier…

ML: “Can’t you see I’m holding back?”

Oh gosh. What is this, writer??? 🙄

*****

SO… we learn what the kidnapper told ML.

So what???

It was ML’s father who did that, NOT ML!!

So, why the reaction (hide from it all)???

Why didn’t he talk to FL about it?

Stupid reaction to a stupid plot twist.
Geeeez!!!

*****

OVERALL

Sorry to disappoint the fans of this series, but it’s just another makjang for me. Google makjang. So many stupid scenes. Series started okay, but it went steadily downhill and crashed at the end.

Acting from the entire cast is okay to great, but the STUPID story couldn’t save this sorry mess of a series.

Definitely not rewatching this one — ever!

🙄

ALSO: Posters for this series are duh, lazy, uncreative, unimaginative. Who did those?? High school kids??

MY RATING: 5 / 10

👎🏼
