7/10
Almost perfect

I had a basic idea as to what and how this show is gonna be like as I started watching.

And it turned out to be much better than I expected.

The script is good, actors have done brilliant work here. The main leads actress did her character justice. The main antagonist was apt in bringing that evil demeanor in his every expression. Rest of the characters had good roles, and they did good as well.

My only concern or complaint with the show is that ML was very downplayed, way too much. And how the climax was done. I'll explain the details further.

The climax I feel was poorly done in contrast of what the show has been. Just ending the show by exposing all the bad guys all at once, all evidence exposed all at once, was just boring. Like the gods of luck just struck a chord with our protagonists and they got all the evidence all at once, was just lousy writing. The show would've been so much better if all the bad guys were taken down one by one throughout the show and not all at once in one single stretch of 30 minutes. Because it's basically a revenge drama, and the revenge would have been much sweeter when savoured and not gulped down at once.

The most important lacking of the show is how the ML was done. He had so much going for him, most of the core plot and the revenge story was also his part, and the way he loved the FL with absolute care and dedication, doting on her all the time, it was so well written but not explored. Also the two leads deserved much more time together, with all the crap they have dealt in their life. Especially the ML, he deserved much more love and care from the FL. And it would've made the show much better. As we see how ML, just crashes into the world of FL, breaking down her walls and seeing through the cold rude appearance of hers and not backing down even once, it was so well written, it was I guess in 2nd episode that he boldly just confesses to her that he likes her, and even after getting harsh cold words from her, all he does is love and care for her even more. ML was such a positive lovable character and he deserved much more part in the story, and it would've made even more sense, since he had a large part of why the revenge was needed. But he hardly had a part to play in taking that revenge.

I believe this part of the show is weak, it would've been a much better show with the two leads working together more, in revenge and relationship both. Rather than just being focused on FL.

Anyways, I'd surely recommend the show is you like revenge dramas, there's hardly any romance here, but you'll love how the ML dotes on FL. It's not a show that I'd rewatch, probably just few scenes where ML loves and cares for FL.
