Oh. My. God. You guys, I would willingly give away my entire life savings just to have this crap-fest of a drama erased from my brain. As an avid drama watcher, there is a lot I am willing to put up with. Cliches? Sure. Love triangles? Sure. Noble idiocy? Sure. But this- this awful, awful drama from the depths of hell; this is where I draw the line.

SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER!

Okay, so the Main Guy agrees (with a lot of pleading from the Main Girl's side) to enter a contract marriage with her to donate bone marrow, as she is sick with leukemia and he is her only match. After a while, they end up falling in love for real. Simple, right? But no. We soon discover that the Main Guy SWITCHED HOSPITAL RECORDS AND MANIPULATED THE MAIN GIRL INTO THINKING SHE HAD LITERAL CANCER IN ORDER TO FORCE HER INTO A MARRIAGE WITH HIM. Yes, you read that right. And when the Main Girl tries to move out of the house (as she should!) he SETS UP GUARDS outside the house to stop her from leaving. What?! Surprisingly. this is not even the craziest plot twist in the series. That is something too insane to even be written in words. But the title of this show is a big fat lie: this is not, in fact, Well Intended Love, since manipulating a young girl into thinking she is terminally ill is the exact opposite of good intentions, and much of this drama would have been avoidable if he had, oh I don't know, ASKED FOR HER NUMBER instead. The Main Guy also has a disturbing habit of using sex to get what he wants from the girl all the time, which didn't sit great with me. But on the good side, the acting was decent all around, and even the chemistry between all the actors was good.

Rewatch: For me? Hell no. But if you were potentially willing to suspend your sense of morality and common sense for a couple of hours, you might be able to rewatch it. I hope.
