If you don't want to read all of that, here's the key takeaway. It gets disappointing after like episodes 9.....so prepared yourself to find finishing this drama a chore

If you've ever watched the notebook, or any Nicolas Sparks book turn into movie adaptations, this drama does the same.

This drama starts promissing, even with the jump from them meeting again after ML has been in the state for 3 years, maybe more, I gloss over that confusing jump that had no establishment of their past relationship and if they ever liked each other in the past, so romance started off strong, it was bittersweet and so freaking cute to the front it became cringe and I wanted to barf. It was like I was eavesdropping on a married couple.

But honestly you can clearly see a decline in the drama. Them, mostly the female lead hiding their relationships from everyone was a flag to begin with. But I shrug it off because I was lured by the chemistry.


BUT ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

Reactions of their relationship was so toxic and unacceptable that I got angry, especially the mother who needs serious therapy. Like I understand the age gap, but they are two consensual adult in a relationships. She was judgemental and had such high standard that even if her own kids weren't perfect. When she slapped the ML in the face, I seriously almost threw my phone at the wall. How dare she. I understand different culture have different ways of working things. But even my overprotective hatian parents have a limit.

Everyone is acting as if they killed someone and not just dating.

But honestly what frustrated me even more was the FL wishy washy behaviour towards the ML.
1. Going on a blind date, even if it's to have something to hold agaisnt your mother or to even please your mother, was so so wrong and to expect the ML and sister to be okay with that was so insulting.
2. This girl really needed to grow up and have a thought for herself.
3. The constant lie and meddling and expect him to be okay with it. And she gets to validate her anger, like huh why did she get to be angry when she force the father on the ML when he wasn't ready. She again and again proves to be a serial liar. Lying to him easily like that.

4. their so much plot hole and weird way they went about to concluding storylines that it annoyed me. The sexual harrassment plotline resolution was so disappointing and shouldn't have been mentioned if that was the result.

The ending, nahhhh. I would much rather for the ML to end up single and her in that loveless mother's ideal type relationship. Bc even till the end she never stood up for herself and was held accountable just like everyone in this show.

Were we suppose to aww at their laugh, lift up girl in arm and rain ending, cause that wasn't it. How come he's always the one fighting and showing initiative. I would have much rather that the FL would have chased after him instead. Or let them go their separate ways.

Sorry for errors. I was angry and tired to read it over
