A lot of side characters and moving parts and after a while, it just becomes agonizing slow after episode 9. By that point, you could already understand the characters and motivations and what they are going to do. So it's a bit agonizing to watch things develop but no new revelations or anything much new happening.

I thought leads acted well and realistically. It's as real as it gets and shows the messiness of relationships and love lost and love won. Pain of losing someone and jealousies and hurt that comes with it.

All the parents are shown as weak, ignorant, or manipulative.

The women are shown as mostly good people for the most part on the screen but damaged by their parents.

The men are shown as damaged, bitter, jealous, controlling, and childish for the most part.

Storyline was pretty good and I was enjoying it up to episode 8 or 9. Then started losing interest... and skipped to episode 16 and watched backwards a bit.

Overall, I think it's a good show.
