I went into this lakorn expecting a full-throttle revenge lakorn. I got exactly that. However, some aspects fell short completely. Right from the first episode, the gigolo, ahem, I mean the male lead was like some sort of ladies magnet. We had over 3 women literally fighting for him throughout the show, not counting the FL into this. These women were so thirsty that I was left flabbergasted by how they can be that shameless. The ML is successful, okay, he looks decent, okay, but seriously, the women falling over themselves for him was a bit over the top and a bit disgusting to see them cat fighting every other scene.
Suffice it to say, the over-dramatization and characterization left a bad taste in my mouth, so I was really praying the FL could make up for the stupidity that was surrounding the midas ML, but nope, that wasn't exactly what happened. The FL was slightly immature, she tried hard to one-up the ML but fell short every time since our ML is supposed to be this over the top perfect person that nothing can scratch. The FL does make up a bit later on when she hires an investigator to get to the bottom of the ML's secrets. But by that point, I could care less about anyone finding out anything since the ML has this cheat where nothing can ever go wrong for him, and lo and behold, even when the FL finds out his secrets, it somehow makes the ML seem even more like a tragic hero, hence the FL forgives everything he's done and they go and have some lovey-dovey time. One other thing that bothered me a lot was these random shots of the ML standing doing nothing but smirking awkwardly at the camera at the end of certain scenes. I know these were shots that were supposed to show him being intrigued by the FL, but the smirk was super awkward to watch and cutting those shots out would have been a lot better.
In addition, the FL's aunt who is head over heels for the ML cried every single scene which was super annoying, to say the least. However, despite the pathetic over crying her acting was a lot better than the rest of the cast. I was also a bit sad for her character as it seemed like she was just a flawed human being, who didn't intend to cause harm but somehow found herself falling into a spiral of bad decisions. She was the only sympathetic character in the whole show. Also, the Aunt's husband takes home the worst actor award for this show. every single scene with him was all yelling and screaming uncontrollably. He was such an inconsistent character. I still can't understand the 'why' of his character. Like he was supposed to be this jerk, who slept around and mistreated the aunt, but then after he becomes disabled, he is no longer a whore (hard to swallow since human nature is hard to change) and wants to be with his wife, but at the same time he slaps her, shouts at her and continues to physically abuse her? What did he expect would happen? Did he have some sort of mental illness that should have been addressed? There were so many avenues that were just there but never explained in this show.
The climax scene in the last episode was also very rushed. I feel like the director spent more time on the females fighting over the ML than the climax of the show since everything is over in less than 10 minutes and the villain dies her tragic death. Even the very end of the show was extremely rushed. The FL leaves the ML and just randomly pops back years later? Like what? Why? Oh, and these 'years' that the two are separated is like one second of the last episode. We have one scene where the FL leaves the ML, and in the very next scene, we have the ML meeting her again after supposed years have passed and he just goes and hugs his son LOL.
All in all, this isn't a show that I would ever rewatch. It was a completely let down from the beginning till the end. The acting was subpar, the music unmemorable and the storyline was crazy and inconsistent.
