ML top, FL flop
Minor spoiler ahead, read at own discretion.Up to the very end I still can't stand the female lead. There is stubbornness and there is being a spoiled, stupid brat. She is the latter. She makes me crazy lol. I feel like the ML is wasted on her. He saves her again and again and she can't even muster the decency to say thank you properly and constantly insults him. Even when she first meets him as a "hitman", she does nothing but be rude and insulting and then goes pikachu face when he so much as takes a threatening step towards her. Like girl... you screech at a guy with a gun pointed at your head and do the best to aggravate him but you act surprised if he doesn't want to take your crap? She is a brainless bimbo without common sense apparently lol. ML has been SO understanding and reasonable at all times. Even sane, peaceful people would have slapped her normally after all the abuse she hurls at him. But he just takes it all and the most he ever really does is threaten her with words and walk away from her. She walks all over him again and again and again. Ugh... It's like the reverse of all the slap kiss drama with overaggressive MLs... Here you have super b*tchy, aggressive FL and a ML too good to be true.The plot is good but I really wish the FL was more likeable.
Her type of crazy/unreasonable reminds me of Piak of the lakorn Kleun Cheewit. She acts worse than Piak. Piak at least was more or less tolerable towards normal/unrelated people but here FL treats everyone like subhumans and servants below her, firing everyone left and right and being a dumb rich heiress with no actual skill, being all arrogant because daddy has money and is putting you at the top of the company he built. Even in the company she can't really do anything...? From what I saw of her she just presents the work of her subordinates as hers and is incapable of even getting the respect of the share holders, sitting there like a small child being scolded instead. What did she ever do? We never see her be competent in her job or witty. She jumps head first into danger all the time but has no actual qualifications or talents to deal with any problems..? Neither in private or in the job... I guess she was supposed to be a "strong" female lead but for me she just seemed spoiled and dumb.
While not as prominent with others, the dumbness is an aspect that bothered me on more characters too. Example: If you have digital evidence of something, you not just give it to someone else without copying it.. I couldn't take this serious haha.
The plot and other characters could have otherwise made this a 8-9 for me, but with FL being the way she is, this was a 6.5 sadly. The acting was good (FL's acting was okay too, it was more the portrayed character that bothered me), the only bad acting for me was Pong.. It seemed over the top and forced at times. I didn't really feel the romance between the main characters. I don't think it was an acting issue though, more that I simply cannot see how these 2 characters could love each other.
