Before We Got Married
This could have been a really interesting story about love, relationship, marriage and betrayal but they had to have the male lead sexually assault the female lead in ep 1 and continuously harass her. Did they expect viewers to root for these two together?

I am wrong. I expected viewers to slam the show but instead majority were gushing over the chemistry between the leads.

My issue isn’t about the betrayal but that the male lead is scum. His apparent fetish for BDSM aside, he stalks her, encroach into her privacy and private space and physically harasses her. I can’t see how they going to write their way out of this.

It’s a pity because I was quite curious about their respective relationships with their partners. They are more interesting characters than the leads.

Sometimes Taiwanese shows can be very interesting and less cliche, this could have been one but looking at the leads, no.

    Saw the familiar title and couldn’t remember the drama. But I scrolled down and saw the poster. I watched ep 1, and have yet continued in with ep 2. I’m waiting to see how this plays out

    Gah! thank you for writing this. I`m not gonna add on to how this drama just rubs me wrong in so many ways, as that would mean I give my time and interest in this drama cuz I don’t, I really don’t, so thank you for taking the words out of my mouth.

    I feel like had this been a drama a decade ago, where dramas used to portray female leads as someone who didn’t get respected in whatever they did; when they said no, and no translated to yes to men, I would have forgiven this drama. But the fact that women continued to be written and depicted as who can’t be respected even in modern literature is just sad.
