Ni shi wo de ming zhong zhu ding

I started this series with high hopes, and it delivered - till around the 14th episode. After that, all the episodes were superfluous and only dedicated to exasperating the viewer & possibly, extending the series.

I particularly despised the character of the female protagonist, who is portrayed as an absolute imbecile, and even that, she does unconvincingly.

This is also the first series amongst all that I have seen till date that I just jumped, after torturing myself till the 22nd episode, to the last one.

Don't be like me. Please just give this a miss. You'll save yourself from insane stupidity & abysmal levels of lethal toxicity, especially in the latter two-thirds of the show.

This series was cute at first. I like light, overcoming obstacles, karma, etc. However, this genre tends to go for extremes with oppressing the heroine and then exaggerated issue the are borderline trashy soap opera.

I started skipping forward. The I realized that I just didn't care about seeing the resolution anymore and stopped watching.

This genre is also big on bullying, classist, abusive behavior and misogyny. I started watching for light subject without nudity. I was happy that this story started out being different from the norm. I think I just need to seek out a different genre.

My other issue: 36 episodes. Had I realized it was that many I would've skipped it in the first place. Most of these series could be delivered well in 16 episodes. The extra episodes are a good indicator of overkill.

The story with its twists seemed to keep its footing until Ep. 21-22. Then it started to feel like "throw everything at the wall and see what sticks". This could have easily been 28-30-episode series. The content would have been tighter, and the editing wouldn't have felt sloppy. By the time you get to the last episodes, you just want it to be over. The resolutions feel rushed where it's more of an OK at the end instead of HOORAY. I wanted to give it a solid 8 or 8.5 by how the first few episodes were going. But due to at least 7 episodes feeling like 'fluff', that could easily be removed with the same outcome, made the story drag and lose its charm. I have to stick with 7.

Liked this drama however the Korean version of this drama justifies both male and females characters reasons are logical. Here the male character had to suffer because no proper communication at all between them because the female character becomes so stubborn and does not want to confront him at all and understand the reason. The female character always believes a third person, she even believes a love rival but fails to confront his husband even though he clearly says its over between him and his ex. Thats very sad for the guy and gives a reason to not like the female character who does not want to communicate because of her ignorance... hope writers portray "Love should always be from both sides and they should not jump to conclusions before confronting their partners".

The story line was cute. It shows how love can grow between two people and how misunderstandings can become a hurdle that needs to be dealt with properly. I personally felt the story dragged a bit, but overall I recommend this because it's cute, dramatic, and romantic.
