Uma Filha Bem Criada (2013)

This was an average show with many many plot twists, bad music, bad acting and extremely unrealistic storytelling. But still, there was something that gave me the feels. I can say I enjoyed the mess. I often watched this show while cooking or doing something else, all important moments got repeated countless times so even if you miss a few episodes you won't miss anything.

If you can get past the woman hating in the beginning you will be awarded in the end. Good wins and bad gets to learn the lesson + a chance to redeem itself. No matter how I hated the baddies they were often the most interesting to watch and they were the ones who drove the plot forward. But God did I hate them, they made my blood boil and one of the reasons why I finished this drama was to see them suffer. The show gets boring at some point but there is always something refreshing happening all the time, never mind it's unrealistic and stupid. Just don't take this show too seriously.

Even though there was enough time to tie all loose ends some things were not explained properly. Anyway, the ending was decent no less. Personally I was a bit disappointed with the pairing, probably I am the only one who wished Hana to end up with that other guy.

This is a mediocre gender-bender family drama with a plot that has a small amount of romance, a giant lump of vengeance and whole lot of inconsistencies. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone who likes a realistic story and intelligent characters. If you do you, and you still decide to watch this, you will find yourself wringing your wrists in anger and wanting to claw your eyes out at certain points. On the other hand - I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys over-the-top family dramas where everything is building to an epic revenge story filled with slaps to the face and sometimes even roundhouse kicks to the head. :D Also if you like gender benders, this is an okay one, but definitely not the best.

Highlights:
- The second male lead is really charismatic and cool, too bad he's not utilized enough in the drama.
- The revenge plot is built up A LOT and tries to satisfy the viewers in every way possible.

Negatives:
- The story is erratic and it's obviously trying to hold on to the original plan although the viewers want something else.
- The gender bender is not done convincingly. It just doesn't feel authentic and messes a bit with the overall atmosphere.
- The story is very black and white and so are the characters. The bad people are too bad and the good to good. Makes for a predictable and generic story.
