Me watching ?????????????
Here are my thoughts on this drama:This hot mess, 'Circle of Love,' is enjoyable if you enjoy slap/kiss dramas and don't take it seriously. I would not recommend this if you're looking for fluffy, fun drama. However, if you want something wild, toxic, and sensational, this is the one for you. On a Thai slap/kiss scale, this drama is below mid; on a Chinese one, it is a good one, maybe one of the best. I honestly laugh throughout this drama, I was only silent at the ending, because I was shocked the writers did what I wanted, what a perfect ending.
The themes of revenge, blood feuds, amnesia, and toxic relationships are similar to Maid Revenge. The leads have hot chemistry; their kisses and steamy scenes are delightful. Overall, if you liked Maid's Revenge, you'll like this too because of its similar theme, better acting, a smarter female lead, and more steamy scenes. If you're looking for something wild with a little twist and shocks for some, you'll probably enjoy it. However, don't take it too seriously and watch it for entertainment value. There are some sadistic characters in this. Yes, ML is a sadist, maybe FL too, she might also masochist because someone of her actions is questionable. Every character is hot mess, but enjoyable, one thing this drama is not is boring.
It may contain spoilers:
In this drama, all the characters are morally gray, one of its most appealing aspects. The characters are interesting, and the story keeps you engaged until the end. I predicted most deaths in this show except the 2FL I was actually shocked; and yes, I predicted the murder-suicide ending, so fitting for such a drama. It is hands down one of my favorite endings, which is why I would rate this a 9. without that ending, maybe an 8 or an 8.5.
Might be rewatchable for some, but one and done for me.

A Disappointing Conclusion: Unnecessary Drama and an Unconvincing Ending
I recently watched Circle of Love (2023), and while it had its moments, I couldn't help but feel disappointed by the unnecessary drama and the perplexing ending.Firstly, the excessive drama throughout the plot became a distraction rather than an enhancement. It felt like the storyline was trying too hard to create tension and conflict, which often detracted from the overall enjoyment of the narrative. Subtlety and nuance were overshadowed by melodrama, leaving me yearning for a more balanced and realistic portrayal of the characters' emotions.
The ending, in particular, left me baffled. It seemed as if the filmmakers couldn't decide between two drastically different outcomes and attempted to merge them into one. This left the audience with a choice between two conflicting conclusions, neither of which was sufficiently explained or justified. The lack of a clear resolution made it impossible to fully invest in the fate of the characters, and it felt like a missed opportunity for a more satisfying and coherent ending.
Furthermore, the chosen ending felt implausible within the context of the story's established world and character development. It left me questioning the decisions and motivations of the characters, as it appeared to deviate from their established arcs. A well-crafted ending should provide closure and a sense of fulfillment, but in this case, it only left me with a sense of confusion and dissatisfaction.
Despite these shortcomings, I must admit that the main actor was the primary reason I watched the drama in the first place. His talent and charisma were undeniable, and he managed to breathe life into his character, even in the face of a challenging narrative. However, even his remarkable performance couldn't fully redeem the drama from its disappointing elements.
While Circle of Love (2023) had its merits, the excessive drama and the disjointed, unconvincing ending ultimately detracted from the overall experience. It's disappointing when a promising story falls short of delivering a satisfying conclusion that aligns with the rest of the narrative, even when anchored by a standout performance from the lead actor.

*TRIGGER WARNING: S/A*
This drama is so disgusting.First let me preface this by saying I don't actually care if a drama has a toxic male or couple, and I knew going into this drama that the ML was going to be toxic. However the trope of toxic ML does not give him permission to SA the female lead. He first kissed her with out her consent, but then he made her strip her clothes, for no actual reason beside his own pleasure. I don't care if he felt bad afterwards he still did it. I pretty much just stopped watching up until that point cause I knew that nothing he did would redeem himself.
