I've enjoyed years of K-drama plus some great Taiwan dramas which usually run 16-20 episodes. I know that some do run over 100 episodes. This show should have been no more then 16 episodes tops.
At first I enjoyed the cast, in particular the beautiful Chivis and handsome Manuel. I watched about 20 full episodes and then could not bear seeing the snails paced grandmother Trini and over the top, endless sexpot Stella who was always 'in heat' pining for Manuel. I then skipped most sub-plots with those characters and concentrated on Chivis and Manuel, the super stars.
When Chivis and Manuel finally after 'forever' go on a trip to Key West to be 'alone' away from all spying eyes, a lovers get-a-way and spend a night in a motel bed. Given years of endless sex with Stella, his and Chivis hot chemistry and the fact Chivis has been abandoned by her husband for months these two adults had to finally have sex, right?. Wow, could not believe Chivis is revealed to be taking the new 'virgin' approach i.e. they can only hold hands in bed all night. They lost me then and there. While her 20 year old daughter is having hot sex Chivis is into holding hands with the stud she's madly in love with. Absurd.
I had to skip most of the final 30 episodes, viewing the final two episodes to at least view the series ending. Manuel's years of super hot sex with Stella had come to a screeching halt months earlier when he 'fell' for Chivis. It seems that Chivis 'new virgin' rules continued in effect up until their wedding day. Then, only after they are married does Chivis inform Manuel that he must attend church every Sunday (a shocking change to his lifestyle/beliefs), she must do her rosary every night and if and when they ever have sex Manuel can never see her body since all the lights must be out. Actually, Chivis let out a big clue early on when she announced that she feels like a (virgin) teenager dating Manuel.
Bottom lines.... horrid 100% unrealistic writing and about 100 episodes too long.
