'GIFT FROM HELL'

Basically its a story about an ex-husband and ex-wife who meet each other six years after divorce as mentor and student and how their relationship and of the ones around them evolve and change makes the story of the series
From the main leads having four proposals to snail paced story with irrelevant side tracks and unwanted deaths this one roller coaster ride which i wanted to stop as it started

But i have to say kudos for including people of colour and broadening the horizon of the viewers who might not be familiar, which is typically not seen in Asian dramas and its not their fault because these involve people from their respective countries which do not have a racially diverse population.

*SPOILERS AHEAD*
Initially the FL and ML start dating after he breaks up with another girl and they end up divorcing sometime after their marriage because of he is basically portrayed as a narcissist and does not seem to really love her at first.
When they meet again while in a foreign in country the FL's actions immediately puts her at the lower hand giving the ML the upper hand which is irritating to watch
Watching their whole dynamic is like watching someone bash their head on the wall over and over again

He is shown to have a son who is six years old but is revealed to be adopted which is a commendable act but at the beginning viewers will obviously assume its an affair baby or the result of a one night stand
Even when the FL was not aware of this she agreed to take care of the child and let her call mom (his mom abandoned him and he saw few pictures of FL which he then assumed to be his mother). In fact she seemed to be proud to do all this knowing very well why he left him Even her parents and brother support the ML for reasons no one knows why. She even spends the night at FL's house even though it reminds her of the pain she went through there. I don't know why they are together

The second lead guy was a really great guy but of course the FL likes to be with ML who is basically a JERK. The second lead couple stole the show they had good chemistry and even though it started awkwardly it blossomed well.

I was really confused when one night randomly the ML and FL makeup and sleep together like nothing happened before, why did they get divorced if there was nothing wrong between them because i never saw them putting work to fix their issues. The ML then put up a half-baked proposal to remarry which I'm glad the FL rejects which makes him work more hard to make up a better proposal which was actually put together by someone else for money and ML did not put any effort. He also then starts to care about her like and dislikes for the first time. Also the FL comes to her senses and breaks up after he wants to obtain marriage license on.

It was really a waste of good talent to portray such cynical and weird roles. Its just really makes the viewer upset ,just pure disappointment. The main leads get back together without even acknowledging what went wrong between them, which is just a recipe for disaster

PS- I do not intend to spread hate to the actors and production team involved this is just a honest review of viewer and maybe i was too critical of it i don't know.
