Worth a watch

This series wasn't really related to Fated to Love You in any way since none of the characters or storylines actually overlap. The only similarity is that the main relationships in both were contractual ones. I enjoyed this series a lot actually. There's quite a bit of comedy sprinkled throughout, as well as moments that made me cry. Rainie was superb in this (she really grew as an actress!). Her crying scenes really punched me in the heart. It does have some melodramatic moments but nowhere near the amount of its predecessor -- always a plus in my book! Overall, definitely worth a watch.

Beautiful

The story is very compelling. You find yourself caring about pretty much all the characters' stories because they were all just so real and complex. The screenwriters, director and producers did a fantastic job translating this from book to screen. I think a lot of the changes they made actually enriched the show a great deal. All the actors/actresses were amazing in their roles, especially the main leads. Kudos to all the musicians involved in this too because the OST was beautiful. The costumes were top-notch as well.

Finally the icing on the cake: This show has some of the best martial arts scenes I've seen in a loooong time. The choreographer is a genius. They didn't sacrifice the fighting for special effects or extra drama, which is actually kind of rare now.

My only criticism would be that it was too short, and I wish it were a bit longer! Definitely one with a lot of re-watch value.

Generic and toxic

So the main couple started out cute but wow, did it get old fast. The amount of melodramatic jealousy and immaturity was unreal. It was probably one of the most toxic relationships I've seen in a long while. In real life, anyone who is as jealous as Bohn would likely destroy every relationship he has. I can't fathom how they were the MAIN couple because all the other side characters had much more compelling stories. The side characters all outshone the main couple who not only could not understand the fundamentals of communicating but had very little development. I did finish the series, but I had to fast forward through half the crap between the 2 leads because it was just so juvenile and annoying. I really wish that dramas in general would stop romanticizing jealousy and distrust in a relationship.

The only redeeming qualities for this series were the side-couples and the OST. RamKing are a prime example of development done right. I honestly felt they should have been the main characters.
