Daytime Soap Opera Alert
I was kind of hoping this would be a good show, but didn’t hold out for much. Unfortunately, it was even more disappointing than I expected. The only thing I can say for the actors is they seemed to give it their all. The music was forgettable. The scenes were overly dramatic — making it seem forced and ridiculous. The plot had very little substance beyond the FL’s attempt to rise to the top as a jewelry designer. She did have a sick mother and difficult life where she was treated badly by people who should have cherished her, but that can only make up for a little of the stupidity of this show. On top of all the other fails, this show was filled with toxic relationships. Even the FL and ML had a relationship that I could not support. After plotting and pretending nothing was wrong, he publicly humiliated and broke up with his fiancé at their engagement party. Who does that? Sneaky, hateful, arrogant pricks. And then she took him back because he helped her when she got kidnapped? No thanks, he did one decent thing, he’s not Superman. He didn’t deserve to get her back. Forgiveness, yes. Getting back together, no way. Some things just can’t be fixed and the fact that the drama spent so much time making everyone hateful and every relationship toxic and then basically spent two episodes turning everyone into happy, loving, trusting family members, just makes it unbelievably trite. Did they not have enough episodes to show actual character development rather than a rushed mass karma event? I thought 53 episodes was about 30 episodes too many. I admit to skimming through about 1/2 of the episodes because it was too daytime soap opera for me to care.
