Obsession is Ugly

Three points because I found the series compelling enough to watch in its entirety one evening. Otherwise, it's complete dreck. I came to absolutely despise the male lead especially, but also the female as well as the rest of the characters who were either obtuse or just plain evil.

I guess the main character could actually be "Obsession" itself as we watch it take over and destroy the lives of many people. It is a frightening mental illness that doesn't care what kind of destruction it leaves in its path.

The attempts to "wokeify" the series are pretty obvious with the inclusion of a mixed marriage, with mixed-race children, one of whom is gay. I don't really care about all of that, but it is such a clear attempt to pander to current cultural trends and while they don't really take away from the story, it is distracting enough to be irritating.
