This a soap drama so first thing is to lower your expectations. It's dramatic and exaggerated. The story line is interesting but the looooong stares and 'damsel-in- distress' scenes between the lead couple is so frustrating, it was nice at first but became too muchand seemed like the script writer was lazy and just decided to have long stares instead of words. Then there's the flashbacks just after the in incident happened . Another frustration is just how much the story drags for such long episodes. Its so slow moving and the side characters don't offer much to the story, the Ali story line moved too slow. Again, I think it's a failure in the writing. There are other Turkish TV shows with 2 hour episodes and just as long that are more interesting. I would still recommend it, couldn't stop watching despite being frustrated.

Beautiful story, wrapped in soap opera drama
vdlinden-636-74832611 February 2024
This show is high on ridiculous drama, which can make it hard to watch - but the nobility and integrity of the characters could not be higher. There is a strong theme of mercy and forgiveness - and how those qualities can bring true restoration to broken relationships when shown unconditionally and with perseverance. (For THAT, the show is 20 out of 10!)
Unlike some of the other "hate to love" stories that are out there, the relationship between the main characters, Baran and Dilan, is marked by sacrificial character traits. Their relationship begins because Baran wants to find a way to satisfy the blood feud WITHOUT shedding blood. Although he has a temper, he never strikes Dilan or mistreats her. Instead, he shows her increasing kindness and dignity, as their relationship grows into mutual admiration, and then love. One of their biggest conflicts is when they both persue a divorce, thinking that it is a sacrifice for the other's best interest. Another time, Dilan must pretend to hate Baran and reject him in order to protect him from an enemy. But their strong bond overcomes both circumstances.

The beautiful conscience of the male lead And the innocence and purity of heart of the female lead This series has indeed something in it to teach people related to character building
Leave the blood feud issue and what Baran initially did to Dilan aside
Their character, their personality and that conscience in there that helps them clearly see through the mist is just beautiful
This series is an emotion that has to be felt -Pain Hate love mercy brutality - all fighting to be dominant over the other but still the good conscience wins over!
Hate is there, Pain is there, Brutality and aggression is there but still mercy appears out of blue. The male lead teaches to try to make up for your mistake when you realize it even if the person in front is your enemy+ showing mercy even to the enemies and not to crush the already crushed hearts....well everything being said in this series is heart-touching.
On the other hand, the female lead is just like a soft petal, emanating rays of innocence I dont know why but after watching this series, I really want to adopt into my character the Dilan's innocence and softness along with Baran's quality of following his conscience even if the world becomes his enemy for that And that's what is most appreciable thing of the main leads.
This is the beauty of Kan Cicekleri + this is what attracts the main leads to the valley of love Plus the chemistry between the leads? Well it's just love. I m kind of obsessed with it now.

An Exceptional Show with an Outstanding Cast: A Must-Watch Review
y-agha-7 November 2023
Please disregard any negative reviews you may come across for this show. It is truly exceptional, boasting an excellent storyline and an outstanding cast. Trust me, it is definitely worth watching!
I have personally watched the first season multiple times and have even reached a point where I no longer require English subtitles. I have even downloaded all the episodes on my phone's YouTube app, lol.
As someone who has always enjoyed watching fairytales, Beauty & the Beast has been one of my favorites. I find this show's storyline somewhat reminiscent of that classic tale. Dilan, with her patience, care, and love, manages to find her way into Baran's heart, and the same can be said for Baran. Through mercy, kindness, and compassion, he ultimately wins Dilan's heart. Their journey towards love and the chemistry between the leads is something that should not be missed. Baris Baktas truly shines as Baran Karabey and Yagmur Yuksel, despite being a newcomer, brings Dilan's character to life. Together, their chemistry is simply fire.
I would advise you to watch this show at your own risk, as you will undoubtedly fall in love with it and find it challenging to resist binge-watching it :)

Beautiful story
amanallahkanza18 August 2023
As a passionate series enthusiast, I am thrilled to share my review of what is undoubtedly my favorite series. From the very first episode, this series has captivated me in a way that few shows have managed to do. Each episode is a breathtaking adventure that had me on the edge of my seat until the final credits rolled.
One of the things that truly caught my attention is how the actors have improved over the course of the episodes. Emotions have become deeper, dialogues more impactful, and the chemistry among the cast members has become simply stunning.
I understand that tastes vary, but if someone doesn't enjoy this series, I must admit that I can't quite comprehend it. The plot is intricate and well-crafted, skillfully blending suspense, action, and intense emotional moments. Each episode brings surprising revelations that keep the tension. While I respect that this series might not align with everyone's preferences, for me, it's an absolute gem. The end of the first season left many questions unanswered, and I am eagerly awaiting the second season. The cliffhangers were strategically placed and managed to completely hook me in. I'm excited to see how the story will evolve, what new adventures await our favorite characters, and how their relationships will develop.

For me it is 3rd best Turkish drama

Warning: Spoilers
Damn. I read other review and was shocked dt some of you actually don't like the drama or the main leads. This is a Wattpad vibes drama. I started watching this drama because of some Instagram edits and i absolutely love this drama. Within a week, i am on episode 126. It is a great binge watch and keeps me exciting. The male lead BARAN KARABEY is so handsome and good, his acting is also great, his eyes are the best part ( there are many close up scenes where his eyes are the main focus). His character is also decent (not perfect, which is perfectly fine because he is human afterall ) , he is the head of family whose mother was killed and he has to revenge the ones who killed her but doesn't wish to shed blood . So to end this blood feud , he marries one of his daughters instead. Dilan is so pretty and beautiful, she is so cute and just like a Barbie. Her character is shown as helpless and it's justified, nothing is in her hands, she is married because of some blood feud and the family tortures her a lot ( except Baran, but he also often pushes her and tells her what to do angrily).. gradually both of them develop feelings for each other. There is a lot of slow burn romance and they don't express their real feelings (which is sometimes frustating, i am like Guyyyyssss just confesssss urrr loveeeee !!!!! The side character stories are not dt interesting for me either, because u can predict their storyline easy line. The sound track is good. Dialogues are good. My favourite scenes were = when Dilan says " I will kill you if you hurt my family" and Baran hands over his gun to her aiming at him; when they dance (in imagination) on the beach (that scene was perfect and the song was soul touching) ; when Baran was jealous of the teacher and accused Dilan and she slapped him but he didn't get angry because of that slap ( that was really good to see his ego was not hurt because of that slap ) ....... I am in love with Baran so much , he is perfect.
A Fairy Tale for Grown Ups
wwwprachimittalcom23 August 2023
You're hooked from the first episode. The lead actor and actress are gorgeous, Love the love story between Baran and Dilan and honestly that was my favorite part of this series. The way there love grows episodes by episodes really give you butterfly, The way the actors performs their job, the way Baris and Yagmur bring to the screen this amazing love, with do extreme effort and sacrifices, you will never see anything like that!!! PURE TREASURE!!! Can't believe all the actors and actress in this series are new and the way lead cast perform really loving. The acting, the progress of their relationship, the ups and downs, the tears and laughs, and most importantly the passion, are all on point. Once you get involved with Kan Cicekleri, these two won't allow you to leave! I can't recommend it enough.
Only enjoyable for brain dead viewers
lisajanalynn11 February 2024
Just skip it, and watch Yemin (season 1-2) instead. Dont waste your time with this series, UNLESS you enjoy watching series full of STUPID misunderstandings.
(1 example: accidentally hearing something and creating problems for the 80th time over 200 episodes, oh and the dumb misunderstanding doesnt get resolved for 30 episodes, because they gotta drag the stupid plot ), or you enjoy plots based on frustrating coincidences ( she has to tell him a secret, but she keeps getting interrupted like for the 30th time- not even joking. Oh and when she FINALLY tells the secret, it was a daydream ya'll, she still didnt tell him lol... see, SO STUPID and frustrating! ).
Lets also discuss the amount of repeated scenes in the series that will bore you to tears. The flash backs are over done here. You see the same scenes OVER and OVER... Ive never watched a series with so much filler scenes, or so little dialog between the main characters in my life! Theres just too much staring and not enough dialog or plot twists. They obviously hired the worst writers for this show.
Viewers with a normal IQ will find this series mainly frustrating and annoying, its obviously made for people with no common sense, or have no life, since it takes FREVER to get anything resolved in the story so you'll be watching hours of nothing happening. Plotlines are stagnant in this show, it drags, its SLOW, you can basically skip the first 60 episodes, since nothing happens. The couple marry in ep 1-2, they sleep on the same bed, but havnt even kissed on the lips (didnt have sex) for 200 ep, see SLOW.
Here's what happens in 60 Episodes - They marry to stop a blood feud, they stare at each other a lot in SLOW motion.. 5minutes later they think back at their staring session for another 3 minutes .
The family hates her- particularly his grandma, so they mistreat her, and THATS it.
I just saved you 60 hours of your life.
Actors: They have great chemistry, mainly due to the male lead.
He is truly amazing here. He's gorgeous with beautiful intense eyes, and his acting is believable.
Female lead cant act to save her life, and the writers made her into one of the dumbest heroines, the kind that acts like a child with no common sense, who is impulsive, who misunderstands everything (and doesnt learn from them so she makes the same mistakes), someone who lies to save someone when not telling will endanger them even more, just so STUPID and frustrating to watch.
She's also clumsy too ( of course), she drops everything, trips over anything. Did I mention misunderstandings? Yea, its all because of her. Its also unfortunate that this young actress is made to dress like a granny in ugly old lady dresses, when shes so young.

- Baran the hero is an alpha and acts like it ( most of the times).
- The 2 actors have amazing chemistry together - its intense, and I enjoyed the very long romantic scenes that they're in together. I watch series for the romance, and this series focuses on their love story.
- I also enjoyed that its a pure love kind of love. He doesnt cheat, get any other woman pregnant, no secret baby by other woman showed up ( at least up to ep200 I am on), he doesnt marry someone else, and he's only ever loved the heroine, so yea, I loved that their love was PURE.
- Love at first sight (yes, I love this trop)
- I skipped all the side stories, which seemed boring to me.
Dilbar fans here is for you

Warning: Spoilers
Baran is a loving and kind character despite of all of the revenge and vendetta he has for dilan's family,, i love the character buildup of dilan too but she should be more strong in showing her feelings and also she should not cover up all the things baran family is doing to her especially darya , his grandmother and hasan agha ,,
I love the series and want it to continue atleast to 100 episodes and want them to atleast hugg each other, sometimes its so slow but baran acting his eye movements nd he's really into the show powerful actor love him,,
Dilan is also into the show now nd her acting is more improving,
I dont like dilan's family reckless behaviour towards her she has gone through alot because of them nd here they are enjoying and please reduce ali and zumrut lame story and their scenes.
Poor script combined with poor producing
tempresident16 March 2023
Edit: Oh come on writers. I know you want to stretch the series to 250 episodes but it's becoming too much now. By doing so you are portraying Baran as an emotionally immature person with no courage and with the Emotional Intelligence of a 3yr old. He is too scared to loudly express his feelings and hope Dilan can read his mind. And it's still the same patterns over and over again. We're at episode 123 and NOTHING has changed. Really? The side stories are not worth any time...fortunately can be skipped. Takes me 10min to watch an episode. If I wasn't a person who needs closure I would've stopped at episode 10 already. How on earth does this series have these high ratings while good series are cancelled? Are people braindead?
A very badly written and directed series. It could've been good if not for these factors. 55 episodes with the same dialogue over and over and over. Each episode follows the same pattern. The writers were lazy.
There are waaay too many silent pauses focusing on the staring and facial expressions which actually just causes uncomfortable moments. The series would shorten by half if all those overused pauses were cut. I think they tried to bring in the hidden feelings of the main characters but failed to realize that there are other ways to accentuate that...other than silent staring. And please just stop with Dilan falling over. Has she never learned how to walk? Stop overusing these stupid cliches. First, constant bumping, then constant falling over...and throughout, the looooong staring. Don't you think it's time for another kidnapping again? Lol
The same cycle happens in each episode...something happens due to the jealous woman (she is so bad I can't even remember her name) that gossips to the grandmother (that looks and sounds like a man), then Baran gets angry with Dilan, then the grandmother is violent & abusive towards Dilan, then Baran threatens his grandmother but never follows through.
Because of the poor dialogue, Baran is as powerful a leader as a mosquito in a tornado...he is not aware of anything happening around him in his business or house, empty threats when he finds out and stands with his mouth full of teeth and no words when everyone verbally abuses him, powerless to act when his own employees rather listens to the grandmother and completely defies him. He only has power when the grandmother allows him...lol. It's not the actors' fault, it is really bad script and bad directing.
I'm only continuing to watch because I want to see how a woman can fall in love with a person that has been so abusive towards her (any person for that matter). If you can treat any human being this bad, you lack humanity...period.
Some weird ideas in these series with abuse being glorified. These series gives the impression that Turkish people are extremely selfish, hateful, vengeful, inhospitable, cruel, rude and violent with the opposite cowardly, weak, protecting the wicked by not saying anything...and that's describing the "good" people. Why would writers do that?

Great daily show
talineg4 November 2023
I fell on this show after seeing many edits on SM. It peeked my curiosity due to the main couples chemistry. Decided to watch a few episodes and have been hooked on it ever since. Even while on summer break i kept on re-watching the episodes over and over.
Yea some of the side characters are sometimes annoying and you can fast forward it but the main couple delivers every single time. They fire that comes out of these two is unbelievable Considering that its their first leading shows.
The show is rated 7+ even tho there is no nudity there is sometimes violence so i personally would say ita better if it were to be 13+.
Must watch tv show. 10+ 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟.

This Show is a Must Watch
Aleksandra4259 December 2023
There is a reason this show has captured the hearts and imagination of people all over the world. The lead actors have powerful chemistry, dedication to their work, and respect for their fans.
The story begins with a blood feud and two people thrown into the fire to try to prevent it from consuming all of their loved ones. They struggle to understand each other and coexist in such impossible circumstances. They have to navigate their very different backgrounds and their wariness of each other.
The lead actress is a newcomer who touched the hearts of the audience right away. She conveys warmth and sincerity despite the adversity of living in a house with a family that shows her nothing but hostility. Her kindness and courage in the face of that affect her husband and he softens toward her almost immediately.
The lead actor is outstanding. He has to juggle both strength and tenderness while hiding his growing feelings. He is at times angry, confused, but ultimately resolved that this marriage, this woman was the only thing he ever needed. His emotional range is really impressive and it's impossible not to get caught up in him.
There is so much more to this drama as well. There is family drama, action, and intrigues. There are villains seeking to destroy, family members plotting, and attempts to take power at every turn.
Some will argue about plot points or the pace of certain revelations, but this is the way of the daily drama. We don't always get what we want the moment we want it. There are layers and complex twists woven into every episode. What we do get with this show is drama, passion, intense chemistry, and an insatiable need to see what happens next.
With the awards for the show and actors stacking up, the popular Turkish entertainment outlets seeking the lead actors for interviews, and the fact that the show and actors are trending on social media on a daily basis should tell you that the popularity is only growing for a reason. Only something this compelling could touch audiences in so many different countries, drawing people together from all different cultures and walks of life.

Can not stand the male lead.
fwbard26 August 2023
Someone who is supposed to be the head of the household apparently can't see anything that happens around him... and even if he does... the only repercussion is a pointless remark and then walks off. He has no power of his family...they just walk around willy nilly and torture the female lead...but it doesn't matter anyway... because he just believes anything they say in defense...while having to constantly question the female lead multiple times because he doesn't believe anything that she said, It's pure torture watching this series to the point you have to skip watch like crazy just to feel a sense of freedom.
A series not for the young
banksmajorine11 January 2024
Its a must watch only and only for those with a mature understanding of emotions and humanity. Some claim Dilan plays victim, the issue is, isnt she a victim? Have u clearly followed the time range in which she uses the statements ive lost my home, family, school all else. Many of these events btw atleast way up to ep 100 occur in a space of a month or 2. Wat do u expect her to say, Baran thank u 4 protecting me, Baran im glad u took my side, lyk really?
I love the person Baran is, it does not change the fact that to clear this feud, an innocent soul was sacrificed and neither is she entitled 2 understand him. It takes alot to understand Baran for sure his not as expressive as he should be. He acts more than he speaks and perhaps thats y Dilan often misunderstands him. He always tends to listen to her keep it in his mind without affirming to her that his listened then goes behind her back and acts and by that tym Dilan has already formed her own opinion about him. There pipo who act more than they speak and thats Baran, he'll neva tell her i care for u but he'll fight his granny for her. He'll not tell her im working on it but he'll investigate behind her back. He'll forbid her from doing things she lyks to protect her without necessarily giving reason y but Pipo need to know their being listened and for Dilan who already lacks a voice in that house she needs so much to feel she's listened to that is something Baran doesn't do. He loves her infact madly but we see up until ep 100 and more he still cant say, communication is a problem for him.
Their romance is slow but u can tell its immense and mature nothing like the fairytale friction romance stories that we normally like. Baran fears Dilan may neva learn to love him the way he does her. He promised not to touch her doesn't mean he doesn't wish to. Theor taking baby steps towards building their bond which is very realistic btw considering how the marriage began. And by the tym it blooms I believe it will be believable. I do not expect them to be all lovie dovie in this short tym but seeing the care and consideration that they have for eachother it clearly gives us a hint of a blooming beautiful romance yet to come.
I have not yet finished this series but with whatever i have watched so far its a thrilling experience.

I do not expect them to be all lovie dovie in this short tym but seeing the care and consideration that they have for eachother it clearly gives us a hint of a blooming beautiful romance yet to come.
I have not yet finished this series but with whatever i have watched so far its a thrilling experience.
shocking female lead

Warning: Spoilers
Dilans facial expressions are so annoying and very poor acting.
Poor Baron they made him look simple and powerless not the best acting either from him but not as bad as dilan.
Some of the plot was just so unbelievable when kudret finally got better after being confined to his wheelchair after his brother was drugging him in what world would you not scream and shout and tell your family what had happened?
And the parts I skipped through... the wise old family gardener. You don't need a therapist when he's around just boring.
I was hooked on the storyline at first but then it just got boring dragged on. So far this is the worst Turkish series I have watched and I have watched lots.

horrible script, worse plot and the worst acting i've ever seen especially from the girl that plays dilan. watch only if you have time to waste

When i started the series the first thing that caught my eye was the horrible acting/facial expressions especially from the actress that plays Dilan. Like come on there are kids on TikTok with better acting than this. She looked constipated the entire series and what was with the random twitching as well? But i was like the plot's alright so lets see where this goes... by episode 78 you can tell that the producers and whoever involved in this series ran out of ideas because it was the same conversation, over and over and over again. I started skipping some scenes that i knew were just going to have the same conversation and at some point i skipped an entire episode.
Now getting into the characters themselves i would only applaud the actress who plays zumrut; at the very least she didn't look constipated and had a good range of expressions her characters story is also interesting and she embodies zumrut well. Apart from her other actors, were either very stiff or had the same expression for a good SEVENTY EIGHT EPISODES. Looking back, no wonder i started losing interest.
The character of Dilan, at first i sympathised with her because truly she did not cause the tragedy that befell the karabey's and so its senseless to punish her for it. I am glad that Baran and kader realise this early and start protecting her. However after watching this series i made a new personal category of people; Dilans. Before we get into this i want readers to know that i am aware that the karabey's are not innocent either but hey they are the 'villains' in this story. Dilans are people that speak or act when they don't neccesarily need to. One scene comes to mind when i say this and that is on Kudret's birthday. I recognise that the party she planned was an excellent idea, however i have two problems 1. Why would you touch the personal belongings of someones deceased without their permission. That is very very rude. She had a good idea but i promise you the same sentiment could have been expressed by her making a new blanket for him.
2. she knows that everybody at that house is very hostile towards her, so why would she present such gifts in their presence and not expect them to get angry. Think about it, if someone you're not particularly fond of comes to your house, takes an item that belongs to your deceased loved one, alters it and then gifts it, would you be happy about it? She could have waited till either when kudret was alone or even better with kader because after gifting it she can ask kader to tell anyone who asks that its a new blanket bought for kudret. This way nobody is upset.
Dilan's want a mile when given an inch. From the first few episodes viewers get a glimpse on how bad it could really get for Dilan in the Karabey house, however, Baran does everything in his power to protect her and he makes mistakes like sending her to the summerhouse but 95% of the time his goal is to protect her while simultaneously protecting his family because he understands how upsetting the whole situation is. However she seems to be oblivious to both his efforts and the fact that her presence elicits strong emotions in that house. I believe episode 76-78 encapsulates this. In these episodes, her father who murdered Baran's mother and paralyses his father comes to the Karabey house. The idea of it sounds horrible especially for the victims of her fathers crime talk less of it being reality. She runs and hugs him and they spend time expressing their familial love to each other, and by the way this all happens in front of the man who is paralysed and whose wife was killed by her father. The grandma catches them out front and the karabeys confront Dilan and her father with guns (her father also has a gun with him). Baran returns from his outing just to be met with his mothers murderer in front of his father waving a gun. (although Mr Demir wasn't the one that pulled out a gun first this is how it would seem to Baran). So obviously he takes the side of his family. They somehow resolved the entire thing without any bloodshed. He forbids her from seeing her father and she constantly buzzes around him asking to go, he caves in and she goes to see her father who only had the tiniest scratch on his forehead. Dare i say, for the crime he committed he was let off lightly. Dilan returns back to the karabeys and guess what the brat does, she pulls a gun on Baran. Yes Baran the one that has protected her, the one that diffused the situation between her father and his family, the reason her only brother isn't dead, twice, the one that even after all that allows her to see her father. She pulls a gun not at the wicked old woman or that malicious derry or the evil uncle nor his equally devious but Baran and warns him to never hurt her family again.
Like excuse me what?
To understand the severity of this, after the death of his mother and what happened to his father, Baran is obligated by custom and his family to essentially kill either Mr demir or his son Cevdet but instead he decides to marry one of Dilan and the agreement was that she would never see her parents again and he wouldn't hurt her family. Guess who breaks the agreement first? Dilan and her entire family and not just once but over and over again. Every time they do so Baran forgives them and does everything in his power to make sure that his family does not use it as an excuse to hurt her or her family. Even at the cost of losing his family. What does he get in return? A gun pointed to his face. Now Baran and his family are by no means angel but the hypocrisy of the female lead and her family was disgusting and Baran's family's reaction is very understandable.
Oh and also brace yourself for her constant "i am a victim, i can't go to school my future is over " chant, the directors seem to prescribe a dosage of 5 times in one episode. Sure she's a victim but its clear to see who the bigger victims are, plus Baran gets her admission papers into the school she wants to go to, what does she do? Throw it on the floor, throw a tantrum and sulk. If this is what other reviews are describing as innocent they they are correct she is indeed as innocent and immature as a child, but she is not one far from it she is alluded to be in her mid 20's and doing her masters.
If you got to the end of this thank you for listening to my rant.

Too long
stpmnctzq24 February 2024
Didn't like this series, far too long, too many baddies in it , didn't like the actors , wouldn't recommend it, have watched lots of Turkish series and normally love them, but this one was awful to watch, and went on far too long, the actors were wooden, there was no romantic connection between them. And it was boring to me , I'm sorry I started to watch it, carried on waiting for something nice to happen, but too many bad things as opposed to good things , why do they go on so long, I thought 50 episodes were long enough, but 255. Unless it's, can taken, engin , or ibraham, won't watch anymore.
Violence and intimidation to women, again
thinkthanktonk9 February 2023
1. About the storyline. This is very typical of Turkey series, about violence and intimidation of women (wife, children, family). There are many story ideas that can be explored from the theme of internal family chaos like this, for example the manipulation of company's management or the struggle for a woman's love, which is more interesting than violence and bullying of the weak.
2. Player The Male Lead is very good, Selinay is more suitable than Yagmur for the Female Lead, she is more beautiful and attractive for a long series like this 3. About the contents of the story There are two separate threads in this story. Ideally, the two plots can meet in the main story, but here we come to the end of the two plots, which are still running on their own, very tiring for us. Finally, I hope this review can be read by Producers for future progress.

DEPLORABLE ACTING
vaanyamahadev21 April 2023
I've never seen such awful acting from the leads of a show before this series. Dilan is as expressive as a stick. She has mastered one look and that's of a simpleton. Same expression in every episode. The casting director must've been drunk when she was chosen.
Baran is no better with his stale emotions and abusive nature. Every character is 1 dimensional it's almost physically painful to watch. I've stopped watching a while ago to preserve my sanity.
Staring into space is better than this crap. Another show that glorifies domestic violence without any qualms about it's impact on society. Watch it at your own peril. You've been warned.

Bad female lead
siret-pihlik13 March 2023
I wanted to love this series and kept hoping the female lead acting would improve over time. But no. Her acting is not believable and makes me cringe or want to laugh how silly it looks.
Since the very first series and scenes, where she is talking to the horse, from the very first minutes it started to bother me. I cannot watch this series or enjoy the story because of her.
But oh wow.... the male lead eyes - they are out of this world beautiful and mesmerizing. A girl can drown in those eyes :) And his acting is enjoyable. All the side characters are much better than the female lead. I wish they picked a different actress.

Typical blood feud romance drama
mosquitocyn10 October 2023
Firstly plot is predictable and typical - you have the same evil characters. You know what's going to happen. The male lead plays his character well but appears oblivious of the plots around him - thought he would be smart and intuitive but appears not. Female lead's acting is so so. I tried to watch it but ended up fast forwarding a lot and yet still understand the story. Don't like the cruelty show towards the female lead too. At the first episode you already have the male lead dragging the female lead like an animal. What's the purpose of showing that? It only reflects negatively on his character. I guess some people like him here kind of drama but I won't recommend it.
