Intense and Hot

I really liked the intensity of the romance in this drama but I didn't really like the whole love at first sight aspect. I can kind of understand the ML and his love at first sight for the FL since his charecter is suppose to be obsessive and possessive. So it might have started of as obsession going on to love, but the drama didn't really show this development since the show is from the FL's perspective. But I don't understand how the FL immediately fell in love with him. She is shown to be a shy, introverted person who is constantly hit on by men and is always uncomfortable by it. How the hell did she immediately fall for the overbearing ML. It makes no sense to me.

I really liked the ML, especially compared to the FL, he is also the exact opposite of the FL. The FL is the epitome of a damsel in distress and it was so annoying. I only saw the tag "weak female lead" after starting the drama, and the tag really bothered me. At first you don't really see how weak and pathetic her character is until the last few episode. Which I also couldn't understand. How could a person who just recently moved from a countryside to a big city, going to (from what I gathered) a good university and (also from what I gathered) living on her own, be so weak and pathetic. The fact thay she was able to do all that, all by herself after living with her family on essentially a farm and somehow becomes completely dependent on another guy, is what baffles me. Also, how does she not already have some sort of job. I hate that they made the FL who could have at least have some backbone, into such a pathetic damsel who is always pitiful of herself. How on earth did she live independently without the ML.

Litterally the only good thing about this drama and the only reason I was able to finish it was because it was steamy. When I say this drama was hot, I mean REALLY steamy. Not to mention the good looking cast. Both the ML and FL are handsome/gorgeous, they had good chemistry, but the FL's characteristics got in the way, a lot. The ML was so damn hot, kinda sadistic, has such a nice voice and says some of the hottest things. And that's about it. I'm a bit confused and intrigued by the ML's relationship with his (male) secretary though.

There's really not much to the plot. When you have a love at first sight drama where it is reciprocated immediately, there's nothing much you can add to it. Good thing is that it is really short, so worth the watch if you want an intense and hot romance with very little else to it.
