We stan for a power couple!

This was a good watch.
Gotta say, I'm always weary of 40 ep dramas, since  usually there is a whole load of dragging,  annoying second leads, misunderstandings and break-ups involved with a bunch of filler scenes.
While all of the above mentioned was still present in this one, it was done in a more bearable way. The premise of the story is interesting, a seemingly simple amnesia trope with a twist.
The leads are evenly matched and their  multidimensional characters are written quite well.

It's my first time seeing the actor who plays the ML and I really loved how he captured his character. I got to see how his walls gradually crumbled against his ''wife'', and I cracked up how his web of lies always backfired almost instantly haha it's a perfect illustration of ''killing with kindness''  loool.  He portrayed a cold and calculating persona very well , and eventually became completely disarmed by the FL. His comedic timing was great, I found him hilarious on numerous occasions.

It's also my first drama seeing the actress that plays the FL, and I really loved her. Her character is a very smart, strong woman who can be utterly devoted and strives to be her partner's equal in every way. She is no damsel in distress for sure. I like that she made the ML work for his redeeming, because while I understand his motives for deceiving her, it was still very wrong of him to do so, and I appreciate that the FL  recognised that and was not so forgiving. However, I am not a fan of her stabbing him, I don't think that was necessary, it must be a new trend in dramas where FLs stab their ML...

Once we get over this arc, their real relationship starts, and they're goals. We stan for a power couple !! 
Also,  can I just say the FL is a queen for establishing boundaries with her mother in law, that was amazing!! 

All in all, beautiful directing, smart dialogues, hilarious comedic reliefs,  amazing costumes and strong, intelligent leads, as well as great supporting characters ( the ML and his bestie is the chaotic duo I never knew I needed lmao), and a proper wedding as well as a happy ending? Sign me up!!
Although for me the story became a little bit boring after the leads wedding and I skipped a lot, still, a pretty solid watch.
