Too soapy for my taste

The show started off strong in the first half, but as it progressed, the second half took a turn into telenovela territory, which didn't quite resonate with me. The conclusion managed to deliver a certain level of satisfaction. Although, in my view, it could have done away with the pregnancy subplot and the whole secret paternity angle. I had hoped for a more intriguing twist to the storyline, something less ordinary. The addition of a pregnancy arc, particularly when the central couple's foundation isn't solid, is a narrative device that I've grown less fond of over time.

On the upside, the chemistry between the main characters was genuinely heartwarming, and a handful of supporting characters added depth to the narrative. My preference would have been for the show to prioritize the journey of the protagonists getting to know and genuinely fall for each other, rather than delving into convoluted schemes and over-the-top drama. Admittedly, achieving that might have necessitated additional episodes.
