God, I WISH I liked this. I thought I would since it's from the same writer as Shining Inheritance (which is why I started watching this drama, for the 2020 Watch Challenge, but that's beside the point), and the plot lines up with what I usually like.

The spoilers in this review aren't very detailed. I can't give specifics because I binged watched the 19 episodes I did watch and then skimmed some of the rest so everything is blending together, but I'll try to summarize what bothered me:

First, right off the back I could not STAND the main lead. His behavior was just... I didn't expect it, because everyone in the comments always talks about how much of a dream man Woo Jae is, but y'all. Those first like 10 episodes, he was pretty damn emotionally abusive. He never respected what Seo Yeong wanted, he always grabbed her and dragged her places and barged into her bedroom. He gets angry with her and guilts her for not wanting to uproot her life and go with him to America. Then he goes and asks again anyway. It's that typical "I have feelings for you, so you're mine now" stupid-ass mentality, except worse because she never told him that she liked him back. She told him that she was open to the possibility of loving him, and then he (and his family) starts pressuring her into marriage. They've known each other for how long? A month? Maybe two? I normally don't mind insta-love but this was RIDICULOUS.

Second, as much as I love Lee Bo Young and empathize with Seo Young's character, her rational just kept getting more and more stupid as the drama went on to the point where it got frustrating.

And frankly, I got bored. Maybe if I watched this while it was airing, I could have held on. I found myself very quickly only caring about Sang Woo, Ho Jung, and Sung Jae's storylines, and even Sung Jae's started to lose my interest later on. I didn't give a crap about the parents' (Ho Jung's family and Woo Jae's family) marital problems.

So.. yeah... dropping this one.
