O Fi Fost Dragoste? (2020)

Possibly the most frustrating drama I ever watched. It gets to a point where I hated every single adult character with the exception of two minor ones. The worst part is the addicting factor. The writing is terrible yet I finished because "it could get better". It didn't get better. This is frustrating to the very last minute, there isn't anything redeeming about.

The female lead is annoying to a point where I stopped feeling any empathy around her at all. A lot of people hate loud and excessive FLs and while that is a thing of taste (not mine, because I love screaming FLs, I even like most of Hwang Jung-eum characters), this is not the reason why the FL here is so annoying. Is mostly because the writing makes her unlikeable, the reasoning behind her every move is motivated by selfish reasons only. She is supposed to be this empowering and admirable woman but in fact she's a lying, unreasonable woman who is never hold responsible for her own mess.

Now, about the (various) male leads... This is tricky, because is more of a "the best of the worst" type of situation. The ML is probably the lesser evil from the three (there's a fourth one, but he's not exactly a candidate and if he were, he would be the best one easily). He is a bit creepy and annoying, but relatable at times and you can feel some empathy towards him considering he really does suffer a lot in this. The other two candidates, one is pure evil and the fact that he does terrible things in the name of "I SAW HER FIRST SO I SHOULD GET HER!!!" is villain-like and yet it's never portrayed as That Bad. The other one is not exactly evil, just a bit bland, and ironically the writers seem to have forgotten about him by the end.

The only joy I found in this came from the two kids and the bar owner and the mom. But that's like 7% of this mess. It's really not worth it.

If you're looking for romance, AVOID THIS ONE.
(It doesn't have even two whole episodes of that)

If you're looking for a strong lead character who is a single hard working mom, AVOID THIS ONE.
(She is really the worst)

If you're looking for a great story about the korean movie industry, AVOID THIS ONE.
(They forget about the movie by episode 6 or something and unfortunately this topic is never touched in any substantial form)

If you're looking for comedy, for the love of GOD, AVOID THIS ONE.
(I don't remember laughing at all in this, there isn't a single hint of comedy)

If you're looking for a frustrating show with frustracting people and poorly written characters and situations, THIS IS YOUR DRAMA.

A total waste of time

This drama started out like something that will be entertaining, then they spent the next 12 episodes or so trying to answer the question of who the father is and the remaining 4 episodes was spent on total rubbish.

The FL in this drama is the most annoying fl I've ever seen in a kdrama. Very unrepentant and stubborn for no justifiable reason.

There was also no real reason why all the men love her except for the fact that they knew her in the past.

The ending is also the most unreasonable ending i have ever seen in a drama. No closure for the main characters, nothing.
