Un vero e proprio strazio...
Serie dal nome che attrae...e nient'altro. Fin dal primo episodio manca qualcosa, la capacità di coinvolgere e dare una direzione precisa alla storia. I protagonisti assolutamente insopportabili, presi da un tira e molla sconclusionato e insipido come una minestra riscaldata. La differenza di età tra i due - nel drama e nella vita reale - eccessiva: lui è un bambinone cresciuto, poco espressivo, poco incisivo (avevo già visto questo attore in "Impossible marriage", altra serie pessima e da dimenticare). Continuo a ritenerlo un attore mediocre in drama che creano aspettative ma che fin quasi dall'inizio si rivelano dei flop tremendi.Con rammarico - poiché non è cosa che mi piace fare - mi arrendo dopo il supplizio di sei episodi e metto la serie tra i droppati. Unica nota positiva, il pairing secondario costituito dal matrimonio combinato tra il fratello di lui e la cognata che ricompare dall'estero, dando il via a sprazzi interessanti sulla convivenza di due coniugi che mai avevano vissuto sotto lo stesso tetto. Ma è poco, davvero troppo poco, per potermi indurre a continuare una serie che, per quanto mi riguarda, è già nel dimenticatoio.

What actually happened
Yes, this drama is a 'out of ordinary' drama were the female lead actually takes the mum's money because of the money despite the fact that the ml is rich af..SO from my current understanding, I think that the fl wants to be finically independent and priorities her and her brother's wellbeing after being abused by her father who was controlling and trapped her, she wants finically freedom, however her feelings for the ml is conflicting her wants.
BUT what the fuck is this plot, it felt really dragging and unnecessary, both being grown ass adults couldn't just talk about this and break up peacefully cause why was the guy still chasing? It just feels weird cause imagine if the fl actually did not like the ml at all, all of this seems creepy...
+ The acting was strange, I never felt immersed or sensed chemistry from any of the characters apart from the brother and his wife!
And the plot was just sooooooo dragging like they were already dating and I'm sick of the wealth gap problem cause watching 6 episodes of that only being there main conflict is super boring 😭

Misunderstood FL, Cuteness overload ML
i like this so far.. the concept is fresh! which is very rare nowadays with the repetitive patterns and plots ..We usely watch romcoms with ppl falling in love and building up their relationship...but what happens after the relationship is established? do they always get married and live happily ever after? i dont think so ... i like how the show is about two people breaking up ... i m pretty sure it s going to be a happy ending and all... but the concept itself is interesting to me... i would absolutely love to see a show where the couple help each other break up , and actually do break up and go separate ways in the end ...Eitherway, this is an enjoyable watch so far... as a noona romance story, i was a little worried bout their chemistry, but i can hardly tell there s an age gap discordance.. they look very much harmonious and lovely to me..
i seen some people not relating to the FL , and how she seemed to easily break up with him... but it s very understandable. As the older one in the relationship, her character is expected to be the more laid back, cool, confident in decision making, responsible and reasonable. She literally has a 100 reason to break with him, but obviously the show is about her finding that one good enough reason to stay with him...
Idk where this show is heading tho lol r they gon spend the entire upcoming eps going on an eating spree?🤣 gettin stalked by his mother and hiding their relationship from their coworkers? ...Dear god i hope not , that sounds so bland ... So possibly the FL will change her mind early in the episodes.. and then maybe they fight together to convince his mother and stuff?
his brother s sub plot looks funny aswell🤣🤣 the sudden underwears while they were drinkin was shocking... i actually think his wife loves him and posts on social media cuz she knows he watches it , so it s her way of communicating with him and keepin him updated with her daily life?
Overall, i m interested to see how will the story progress, hopefully the scriptwriter doesnt find themselves stuck in a loop of confessions and rejections , but instead create a path that hasnt been walked before ..

Not Just Another Business Proposal
I tried this with low expectations anticipating a half clone of Business Proposal but with each passing episode was increasingly delighted. While they both have a Cinderella element involving a young woman getting caught up in a difficult relationship with a higher status male, the emphasis is so different.The set up:
The female lead, Yun Seo, together with her little brother, ran away from an abusive drunken father (he beat her and her brother) and drunken mother (she let it all happen) within minutes of finding out she had been accepted into a college. Years later having overcome many obstacles she now works in a major company as a Team Leader.
The youngest member of the team is the male lead, Ju Won, who undergoes severe training as the junior most member. Over time Yun Seo and Ju Won begin a secret relationship that lasts almost two years until she stumbles upon the fact that Ju Won is actually the second son of the Chairwoman of their company who after returning from an extended study abroad was placed incognito inside the company to get on the job training.
And complications ensue:
The first episode opens with the Chairwoman meeting with Yun Seo to tell her to break up with her son for a huge amount of money. The story that unfolds has a lot to say about not only Yun Seo and her difficult upbringing and current situation, but also surprisingly about arranged marriages and the difficulties the upper crust face in finding marriage mates.
The Chairwoman is not an evil person. We learn she is in an arranged marriage with a man who lives in Germany and is not faithful (not that she seems to care). She’s tried to raise her two sons to be cold and calculating to survive in their upper class world.
The story contrasts the evolving relationships of the Chairwoman’s elder son, SiWon, and his wife, with the problems facing his younger brother, Ju Won, and his chosen mate, Yun Seo.
SiWon is in an arranged marriage. His wife has lived in Paris for the past two years and SiWon, we can tell, is lonely but has adjusted and even appreciates living alone (he goes pantless around the house). His life is disrupted when his wife returns suddenly to cohabit (pants now required).
Over in the other relationship Yun Seo tries to break up with Ju Won as per her agreement with the Chairwoman. However, Ju Won resists both Yun Seo and his mother, the Chairwoman, and fights to keep Yun Seo.
At first his behavior seems a bit pathetic but as the story develops we learn why Ju Won is being entirely rational in his pursuit to keep Yun Seo.
For someone in Ju Won’s upper rich crust it is nearly impossible to find a mate especially one from a lower income level who isn’t swayed by the opportunity to marry into power and money. The Chairwoman cannot imagine that Yun Seo is anything other than a gold digger motivated by marrying into the family for the money.
SiWon failed to find a love match and had to enter an arranged marriage.
Ju Won, however, spent two years being tortured incognito and all on his own wooed Yun Seo into a relationship. In fact once she knew his true identity she didn’t think it could work out so she was receptive to the Chairwoman’s offer. Ju Won at one point bursts out saying he’s not giving her up because the relationship he made with her is the single most worthwhile achievement in his entire life (where everything has been handed to him).
Now that his true identity is out he is destined for an arranged marriage like his elder brother, and Yun Seo represents his one and only chance to ever marry for love. So his refusal to give in to his mother’s demands is entirely rational.

a real nice simple to watch drama
i really enjoyed this. since it has only 10 episodes, it barely feels dragged. it gets a little frustrating at times and i was very emotional and cried a lot with and for the ml and fl. i especially loved all the characters tho, their co workers, his mom, her brother, his brother and the wife and ig also the artist dude. there wasn't much actual drama just a lot of heartbreak. i liked how we got to know their story through flashbacks. the only thing i didnt understand until the end is what the ml sees in the fl haha but that may only be me idk. it didnt make this any less good! can highly recommend this for those who like simple stories with no dark elements (i dislike those mystery elements they always put into romcoms these days). this might not be for those who want twists or deep characters or a lot of character development. there could've definitely been more of that. i put the rewatch value pow because i think it wouldn't be as emotional the second time and ig eventho i enjoyed it a lot i wouldn't watch it a second time because i have other dramas id rather watch again.Cet avis était-il utile?

And cinderella??
The title of the drama has nothing to do with the story they tell, it's just that she's Cinderella because she's poor, has personal problems, her ex is rich and handsome and her ex-boyfriend's mother is "bad", from there on there's nothing that involves the concept of Cinderella. But the story becomes so repetitive episode after episode, that it becomes long, tedious and boring.I liked the story that developed with the secondary couple more, that I even preferred that a drama was made about them.

It was fun and light for me.
Cutesy drama - nicely done and the actors did an amazing job at portraying their characters so very well.Loved the fact that although she was self-sufficient and a realist - came to acknowledge that her decision was wrong and was able to move forward in changing it. Loved the way she also was very human towards the MIL when she went through a public humiliation because of the husband.

Niente da fare, una perdita di tempo
Finalmente è finito. Un drama di una noia mortale. L'unica nota positiva era il numero degli episodi: 12. Il primo episodio è quello migliore, crea aspettative che risultano poi troppo alte. Dopo crolla tutto. Gli attori principali non sanno di niente, recitazione blanda e insapore. Il ML è un mammalucco noioso. La FL un personaggio che dovrebbe avere un certo spessore ma è sottotono e monotona. Si salvano: la seconda coppia e il pittore con le sue espressioni carine. Un buco nell'acqua.Cet avis était-il utile?

Um romance doce para assistir.
Aquele dorama que vale a pena assistir quando se busca um romance leve.A história busca abortar o conto de fadas Cinderela, mas na minha visão de Cinderela não temos nada, kkk. Na realidade acredito que de conto de fadas podemos tirar o amor, a lealdade, a persistência do nosso Prota pela protagonista! Um homem desses não existe, e se alguém discordar de mim, me apresente urgentemente esse príncipe encantado. O cara nem se zanga quando descobre que ela pegou o dinheiro que a mãe deu pra ela se afastar dele. Muito pelo contrário, arma um plano de ataque para ela não desistir dele! Oi? E basicamente o dorama se centra nisso, na luta dele para permanecerem juntos. Pra mim ele amava muito mais ela.
Sei que ela tem os traumas dela do passado, e também entendo um pouco a razão por ela ter aceitado logo o término do romance: não queria afastá-lo da mãe que não a aceitava. Ela nunca teve o amor dos pais, e tinha esperanças até o fim que a mãe dela lhe pedisse desculpas. Então para ela seria inaceitável quebrar um vínculo entre filho e mãe.
Achei a história leve. E os personagens secundários também robam muito a cena, principalmente o casal secundário, o irmão dele me arrancou vários risos, sensacional. E que playlist, as músicas grudam na cabeça.
Não é uma história espetacular. Mas gostosinha de assistir, principalmente para quem não quer ver tanto drama. Tem a persistência dela em não reatar o romance, mas não é aquele drama apocalíptico, kkk e ele em nenhum momento desiste de tentar. Pois a felicidade dele é estar ao lado dela.

So Far So Good
I like the first episode, but I'm not sure yet about the attraction they may or may not have. The FL seems to be quite a bit older which normally doesn't bother me, but...well I will definitely watch it and pray they are believable in the romantic department. I hate the two scenarios that make me go "UGH'. I wore high heels to work for 20+ years and wore them to parties. I don't ever remember spraining my ankle, falling into anyone's arms or attaching Band-Aids to my heels. Well maybe once I did, lol. Please drama people, stop the girl from tripping and having her land in his arms. Pet peeve #2 is the guy's mom making a visit to pay off the girl to stop seeing her son. Maybe because I have never dated a super rich guy. I hope that these two typical scenarios stop here.Cet avis était-il utile?
