It's generic tbh

From the summary I thought I would be watching something different but sadly that was not the case.

For the first half the FL was unbearable. Her characterization, her acting or her dialogues, everything was just off. The actress is a veteran actress so I don't know what happened there. ML carried the first half. Story had premise though so that kept me hooked.

For the second half, FL actually becomes a little bit likeable but then ML's characterization and story starts suffering. The majority of episodes revolve around nothing and there is no main story development. For me, story is the backbone of a drama. I could bear with bad acting, absent osts or lacking production but when the story or characterization starts suffering, its like the whole drama comes crumbling down. The second half, sadly, has a lot of filler content, plot inconsistencies and illogical decisions but the relationship development between ML and FL is good.

Thankfully, conclusion itself is done really well. Everything wraps up smoothly into a proper ending.

I think a lot of problems of this drama could've been solved with a shorter length. Right around the middle of the series, I think they ran out of ideas of what to do and they had to stretch the irrelevant sections to match the episode count.

Overall, it was not a bad watch. It had its moments but it did bore me quite a few times too. As I said before its generic, but definitely watchable.
7/10
