Watching this drama felt like I was watching some makjang kdrama at some points but my god was it addicting.

I love revenge stories - plain and simple. Usually it's a male lead in these kind of dramas (unless I'm just choosing the wrong ones?) but I LOVE this female lead. She's not meek but she's not obnoxious either. The main actress is so damn good at acting and I felt the rage and hatred she felt in her heart. I love how although romance played a part in this drama, she wasn't blinded by it and turned into a complete different person.

In contrast, the male lead, although he is absolutely gorgeous, I'm sorry to say I cannot remember any scene where I think "wow he is a good actor". This may be because the main actress is SO damn good that she dwarfs him in comparison.

The food aspects of this drama were really interesting as I have no knowledge on japanese culture/food so it was really interesting to see the main characters SO into making sweets and the symbolism and the importance to them.

Some people say that this is a toxic romance but in reality, there were never TOXIC TOXIC to one another. It wasn't like they were yelling at throwing shit at one another. It was more of a intrinsic (?) hatred because of who the characters were as a person. I don't really know how to describe it. Now that I think about it, them being together was definitely not healthy in the slightest but sometimes, that's just how life is.

The plot twists in the drama had me turning my head and gasping multiple times.

Negatives?

LMAO There were some questionable moments where I laughed especially because the ML would do the kabedon thing and I would just laugh at how awkward it would be. The "main villian" - her acting was straight out of a telenovella at times and I would just shake my head in response. Additionally, the writing was questionable at times, but if you really look at it as a whole, it was like drugs to me. I could not stop watching this drama and my eye bags got considerably darker.
