Why am I still watching this?! (review after 30 eps) + Add-on: NOPE I AM OUT (after 34 eps)
This whole drama is a mess!
We have family overlaps and ties, way too many "coincidences" that only make things worse, and anger management issues as far as you can see. Not to mention gaslighting, intrigue, lies, stealing, deceit and emotional abuse.
I really liked the story about our two main characters and I still think the basic idea is good, but it's just too much of everthing. It feels like the writers tried to cram every cliché and development that a drama could possibly have into this very drama.
Do we have the "I-can't-love-you-I'm-from-another-world"? Yes.
Do we have the "beeing-left-with-baby"? Yes.
Do we have the "gave-away-the-child-for-adoption-but-now-wants-to-be-near-them"? Yes.
Do we have "lost-memories-because-of-xyz"? Yes
Do we have "I sacrificed myself for you but you don't see me"? Yes.... and I could go on like this for quite a while.
It feels like there are 6 or 7 storylines, which are happening parallel and at the same time only to overlap at the end or in between, to be merged and separated again. At some points you can already see certain plots coming and it's nothing new.
The longer I watch it, the more I realize how selfcentert most of the characters are and how they all twist each others words. I wouldn't mind it that much if it hasn't been like this for 28 episodes and there's absolutely no prospect of character development in sight for any of them.
I think the only reason I'm still watching the whole thing is because of our gentleman's children. The children are portrayed very nice and they are a refreshing sight in all the chaos mentioned above. I like the fact that the children aren't just mentioned randomly and run into the picture here and there, but that they are quite the main characters and actively belong in this story.
In general, this drama is currently more exhausting than relaxing and there is no improvement in sight. Very often I fast forward and skip things because I don't want to see certain plots or characters anymore. I don't know if I'll keep watching it when I reach the current latest episode (33).
Add-on: NOPE I AM OUT! I saw pits and pieces from the next few episodes here and there and nope, I can`t take this anymore. I don´t care how cute or wholesome Dandan and the CEO are and how fluffy they are with the kids and beeing happy familie and stuff when I KNOW that shit will hit the fan again eventually. No more crying and backstabbing and locking people up or telling them who they can love and who not. NO. This drama make me mad and not happy. Even Meteor Garden (Chinese Drama, 2018) with 50 episodes did a better jop. That Series was at least fun to watch and I could laugh about the overly damatic stuff exactly because it was so over the top.
I don´t know if this drama here wanted to do the same thing or not, but if they tried they miserably failed. Most of the time it is just painful to watch, so I am dropping this one after sitting and skipping through 34 episodes or- to put it another way- 39,7 hours of madness.
