This was one of the first lakorns that I watched and honestly I was hooked the moment I started. It had a kickass female lead who wasn't afraid to fight back, and a male lead who judged her at first, but slowly got to understand and unwittingly fall for her. This reminded me a lot of the kdrama Secret, where it's set up in a similar premise and has that addicting angst of falling for someone you shouldnt. I happen to greatly enjoy storylines like this (because who doesn't want to feel that heart ache haha) so it was no surprise that I marathoned the heck out of this lakorn like no tomorrow.

However I did have my gripes with this lakorn. Mainly it bothered me that the male lead was a lawyer, but did not consider both sides of the situation (like a lawyer should...) and proceeded to harass the female lead based on prejudice. While I understand that it was necessary for the plot, I couldn't help but feel somewhat turned off by it because it felt very illogical, and I couldn't just brush it off as drama logic. Also, the second female lead has got to be one of the most insecure, spoiled, bratty leads I've ever watched! Ughhhh and her husband who is the second male lead is no better; I thought both were better off without each other because they're so toxic together. The loveline with the FL's assistant and engineer was weak (didn't like the guy either) and felt unnecessary to the main plot.

But I didn't mind as much as I would, because of the off the charts romance of the main leads. I can forgive most misgivings as long as the romance delivers and boy this one sure did. I savoured their every interaction and they seemed to burn up my screen with their sizzling tension and chemistry. Their intimate moments and tender gazes made me swoon. It was great watching them both understand then fall for each other as the episodes zipped by. This really made me fall for Mark Prin haha.

Though I really become a fan of Yaya for making the FL a confident, tough as nails woman who wouldn't back down without a fight, but is not completely heartless and just wants someone to genuinely love her. It did bother me a bit that she cried quite a lot and would complain about her lack of love (I mean you have your awesome manager and assistant!) but overall, I loved her character.

Music was good, though I don't remember much of it so I can't say it was my favourite. Would I re-watch? Def for the Yaya-Mark scenes but that would be all. All in all, this was a great intro to the world of lakorns and would recommend but not without some cautions.
