My rating looks like it’s a stark contrast to most. For me, there are just too many wrongs in this drama; it would take too much time to write it all down. So, I will mention only the truly egregious ones. If we’re talking production quality, it’s pretty low, similar to your every day daytime soap opera. Probably 30 minutes of the hour and a half are taken up by commercials, so fairly annoying but thank goodness for the fast forward button. The music is also insanely loud and played inappropriately at times.

I dislike all the characters except for Pu, the FL’s childhood love. I hate the FL’s father the most. He embezzles company money to feed his gambling habit, and then proceeds to “sell” his daughter, whom he claims to love very much, so he can avoid jail. He keeps on sacrificing his daughter and family so that he can live and not be prosecuted. Worst father ever.

The FL is so weak. She takes filial duty to the extreme. I really don’t see how the three men are so attracted to her; she barely has any personality. She just goes along with whatever anyone says. When she’s being manhandled and molested by the ML and Ad, all she does is protest loudly and weakly pushes them away. Come on, a knee to the groin, an elbow to the face, a head butt, anything to get away from your molester. The near rape scenes are disgusting, unbearable to watch, and nothing romantic about them at all. I come to totally hate the ML when it’s implied that he had raped the FL (she flees the house, cries her eyes out, and seeks refuge with Pu). Well, the audience discovers later that the sex was all consensual; the FL is just too overwhelmed by the experience and feels guilty. So, she makes everyone believe that the ML is a rapist. WTH.

Don’t get me started on the ML. I would like to punch him in the face a few times. I am completely turned off by him when he first meets the FL. He supposedly at that time still in love with his wife, but he shamelessly flirts and makes physical contact with the FL. Then, within a week or so of his family kicking his deceitful wife out of the house, he begins to pursue the FL. It sure is nice to have your mother put the girl of your interest on a nice big silver platter for you. How many times can your crazy violent “ex” wife (I put “ex” in quote because he never divorced her for how many episodes and still have the FL as his live-in “wife”) just barged into your house? Considering how rich the ML’s family is, where is security? Just that one butler and a couple of maids? If they don’t have security, call the police. No, they just allow her to walk into their house any time.

The stars are for the actors because they really tried with this plot/script, and I know that they’re good actors from seeing their other works.
