Loved this B-rate series
It's low budget, but honestly, I'm loving it. Why? FL is kicking the butt of the would-be bullies, i.e. girl who cheated with her ex-fiancé and ex-fiancé's mom. This is so refreshing! Usually, FLs are doormats for these bitchy bullies, but this FL is no push-over. I loved it when she slapped the bitch twice in the office. Some people might think FL is a bitch herself, but hey, Wei Wei started it by stealing FL's fiancé and design, and she just won't let it be - she keeps picking at FL. I also loved it when FL flung the tea in her ex-mother-in-law's face! Although ML's power is helpful, this girl is quite capable of taking down the bitches herself. YAY! So, refreshing from most C-drama FLs. So fun watching the bullies get their just desserts for once.
As for ML, he needs to eat some meat (he's tall and skinny), but I like the mischievous look he gets on his face and the winks he exchanges with FL. Although he's the CEO, he hasn't been overly cold or bossy, i.e. grabbing or shoving FL up against wall. FYI - he knows her from the past and is already smitten with her. The best kind of ML, in my opinion. I like that ML willingly helped FL with her wedding stunt, and I like that FL is willingly playing the role of wife with compensation, which makes their relationship less angsty or combative. They're more like partners.
Although plus, ML's mom has already accepted her son's choice, and mom is a powerful figure in the family just like ML so the two harpies can't use ML's mom against FL. Another refreshing detail - I get so tired of the control freak, nasty parent plot device.
I don't know what the rest of the episodes hold, but right now, I love this drama despite it's low budget. I can't give it a 10 because of the lower quality in terms of set, acting, etc., but sometimes you don't need a 10 star drama to keep you entertained and cheering. I think this is the best low budget short C-drama I've watched...other than 'Please, Don't Spoil Me', but then, they ruined that funny, little drama with the 3rd Season and its ending. Bleh.
UPDATE: Watched the whole thing and I loved it! For a low budget, B-rate series, it was very good! Mostly, I say this because of FL and ML. FL was not the typical C-drama FL - she had backbone and doesn't react like a lot of these wishy-washy FLs. Only once was I disappointed in her reaction and that's when the psycho chick crashes ML's love confession. She totally overreacted and didn't give ML an opportunity to explain. Fortunately, in the next episode, she starts acting like the smart and mature person I expected her to be. She really shines when the truth about their marriage comes out and the reporters swarms her and ML. Unlike most C-drama FLs, she doesn't run away or break it off with ML; no, she stands up to the gossip and supports ML. She even kisses him in front of the cameras for everyone to see. YAY! Screw the gossips! At this point, they become a supportive and emotionally solid couple who work together to take down the villains. As for ML, he's really cute - especially when he's interacting with his secretary while planning the confession. I could see both of these leads moving into higher budget films in the future. As for the supporting cast, they were better than most B-rate films, especially the secretary, but ML/FL make this series worth watching.
