📝 Review

(WARNING: Potential Spoilers — I'm Not Saving You from any Emotional Damage)

I watched this because I was in the mood for something Taiwanese. I usually enjoy most older Taiwanese shows. This is your typical enemy-to-lovers trope kind of drama. But that's ok, I love these kinds of shows.

The moment the leads meet, the chemistry was good. I mean, they played enemies great. However, as the story progresses, and they stopped being enemies, the FL kinda went from fierce to stuttering, blithering idiot at times. But it didn't deter from the show, I kept watching, and for the most part enjoyed it. I mean, it’s very rare to love everything about a show, even my faves and my ultimate rewatches have their own flaws.

The SFL, lawd, this bitch is the typical green tea, messed in the head. And with this being aired originally in the 2010's… wait actually the era doesn’t matter. Bitchy jealous, "That's MY man, and no one is going to take him from me." SFLs don’t necessarily get better with time; it's just how the actress portrays the role that's different. Well, there were times that I felt the SFL arc was overdone. But when it came down to it, logically speaking, it actually fit—even if it was highly annoying at times.

Overall, it was cute. Had its flaws, but I still enjoyed it.


💭 Final Mood:

Cute, enemy-to-lovers, green tea chaos, and overall enjoyable.
