Well-Intended Love

I admit when I first started watching this I thought it was a K-Drama as it appeared on my list on Netflix and I just assumed it was without even checking - what do I know - I am from the US and just read the subtitles and didn't even know what language it was. I felt it was a little off from the K-Dramas and after looking up the characters found the main stars were Chinese. I watched anyway mostly because it had 2 seasons so thought it must be good if they gave it another season. As it turns out the 2nd season was the same story as the first season, done with the same characters but focusing on a totally different pathway and adventures, with a different viewpoint so from that prospective it was different as well. I agree with one of the other reviews I read - I gave my rating for the male star who was handsome, and I liked the Idol actor as well. I definitely liked the ending on the second season better.

This drama is addicting, although very typical business drama themed. The only issue i have is people wearing the same clothes wayy to much? As if they had a low budget. Even the rich business lead had to wear the same suit a couple of time. Although the acting is a bit insincere and akward because asians are usually head on with emotions, i'll give it a pass. Kissing was weird af, needs more passion.

I looove this show. Can't stop watching and I will re-watch it again, I know it.

Suspending disbelief is difficult when the CEO is also allowed by the police to act as a detective and go along with them and, of course finding, analyzing critical data.

However, the biggest problem with this show is a lack of understanding of relationships. You can't build a relationship on an abusive, possessive basis. Nor can someone, in this case the CEO, fundamentally change his personality so quickly.

SPOILER: The CEO's family owns a hospital so he is able to fake medical records indicating the objective of his desire (definitely not love) has leukemia and he is the only compatible donor.

Then, he gives her many rules to obey and, at one point, actually holds her captive. He treats her as a possession.

How in the world can a loving relationship be built on these fundamental misunderstandings of the difference between love and lust? Then we are to believe he quickly controls these destructive tendencies and real love comes out of this?

I couldn't suspend enough disbelief in the basis of this show and I think I am being generous with a 6 rating. While not everything is awful, I also found the bad guy, someone worse than the protagonist, to be a caricature of evil with no redeeming qualities. A bit too extreme in today's entertainment where I expect most characters to be a mix of good and bad.

Just binge watched it ... I hope there's more soon!
