Chegou a Hora da Verdade!

I usually don't review shows that I didn't watch to the end. But this one is such a torture! I looked it up to find outhow many more painful episodes would be released and almost puked when I read 50. 50!!!! What the??!

Matter of factly, I coerced myself into watching because the actors speak a very vivid, realistic Korean. As a learner, I wanted to mimic their intonations and it works marvels. Still. The story, gosh!

So many useless characters, scenes, events. It's all a pathetic mess. No tension, no romance, no nothing. I read somewhere that dramas are made for brainless people and that most of them were just like that, both boring and ridiculously over the top. I so disagree. Despite their many flaws, most dramas are excellent, as they will pull your heart out. This one is an epic failure.

So... how is it rated 8??? I must be missing something. Still. I don't care. I can't have any more of this. I just can't.

This is the most non-romantic, romantic K-Drama I have ever seen. I stuck with it since always finish something I start. Will update after ending if need to. First, never really fond of shows that deal with father's that don't take responsibility for their children and there is definite much push from everyone around the FL regarding abortion despite the mother's feelings (from the father, her mother, & her brother). Kept watching as I knew there was hope due to the description of getting a "contract" marriage but low and behold, the meddling grandmother in that household was additionally telling the unwed mother to go in that direction, as well as another family member that is married that is threatening to do it because a divorce is pending So much sadness in the beginning. Something makes you want to keep watching to root for the baby because it seems that hardly no one else will other than the mother. The baby's gynecologist steps up to be the contracted husband (but he has reasons of his own for doing this). It takes 37 episodes before the mother gets a kiss from this man (way after the baby is born!). Of course this is when the "real" father "The Real Deal" appears. (The mother never told him in the first place). So how will this turn out?

Final Edit - Came back to change my 7 stars to 6 after watching entire series. Seems I am the only one here that felt bad for the "The Real" father. Jung Eui-jae deserves more praise for the role he played. I tuned in day after day only because of the great job he did. How cruel every single person in the script was to him - you can help but feel empathy for him who really loved his baby. Can you blame him for playing dirty tricks to try and get his child after being deceived for a year - never having been told in the first place that this was his child and only finding out by accident? Sure he made a comment to the FL when they broke up that was cruel at the time but he didn't know she was pregnant and it was a relationship of 5 years - not some fly by night relationship. FL should have told him from day one. So of course I did not like the ending. Can't say much for the script - cruel from day one to the very last episide!! Cruelest drama ever.

Poor casting, Bad acting, one of the worst Kdrama script. Nothing really makes sense. Sometimes I keep watching a show because it's so bad that it's good (read hilarious). Well it's not the case here, you just want to quit which I did at the beginning of episode 7 where the story reaches becomes even more idiotic. Don't lose your time on this one. To reach the 600 characters i'll copy paste the text Poor casting, Bad acting, one of the worst Kdrama script. Nothing really makes sense.

This series is really addictive. It reminds me of the classic mexican telenovelas of the 90's. Pure conflict everywhere, all wealthy family members living together in one mansion, constant shouting, no privacy at all. Every time someone is talking theres a family member hearing behind the door.

The grandmother and the FL in-laws are soooo irritating. Come on! The leads are 30-ish years old, both successful in their jobs and they can't even think about living the way they would want to in any aspect.

About the kissing scenes: not-a-single-one in 30 episodes. Literally i spent 30 hours of my time in this drama and not a sigle kiss.

So, i dropped it.

The show could have been made into a crisp 10-20 episodes. It meander all over the place with ridiculous plot twists.

My life has been one of plot twists and normally, I enjoy twists and turns, but this show borders on absurdity with irritating and immature plot twists. Acting abilities of the female lead- 🙄 With 30+ year olds, having serious mommy hangups....

I am an Asian and I am confident that the era this drama aims to cover is so over the top and so not credible.

Why did I watch 35 episodes? I was simply amazed that it was so poorly scripted and wanted to see where it would go. Alas 35 episodes is all ican deal with. And 35 hours of my life wasted.
