Beware because this is basically me ranting a lot. If you feel like trying this drama park your brain somewhere and retrieve it after you finished because ugh. If you liked it and don't agree well good for you xD, I just felt my pride as a woman very very hurt by this drama.
This drama is basically some 50sog bad written fanfiction (while that novel was already a bad written fanfiction lol) but the "smut" parts are so cringeworthy and straight up uncomfortable to watch I actual had chills on my spine, facepalming and rolling my eyes like a freaking ferris wheel all the time lol
The male lead is what is called a basic f#ckboi, the female is a brainless spineless girl who's constantly oblivious of her surroundings and she apologizes even to someone who just forced a kiss on her. The plot....what plot?! Lol

If this would have been a psychological thriller that depict the risks of being captured by sexual predators and become prisoner in a dangerous mental state (aka brainwashed) then it would be a great start, but unfortunately this thing is supposed to be a romantic fantasy. (??)
So the main leads accidentally meet in a coffee shop, he saves her from one really persistent guy who was trying to hit on her (the 4th in 2 minutes of drama) and there's this moment when their eyes met and the time stops. He asks her on a dinner and she accepts. During this date we get to know that he's 30 and she's 20, but I swear everything about him screamed 20 yo (the amazing thing is that the actor himself is 30 but he looks so young! To me wasn't a good choice but okay, some have baby faces or they're immortal, dunno. Good for them xD) and here's the first red signal: she got asked if she drinks wine and she just seem incapable of saying what's really in her mind, she thinks "gosh I never drank wine" but she does it. In front of a stranger you just met?? That's really dangerous!
She faints after one glass and she wakes up at his house. And he just confess that he loves her (love not like, yes) and asks her to be his girlfriend. She accepts because...idk he's handsome I suppose. In the real word there are two options: is fu#king up your mind to get into your panties or he's a creep. Either way, your spider senses should be tingling in that situation. The fact that it was promised some dark past when he's actually serious got me dumbfounded because I was waiting the time she discovered she's been played all along, he's a drug lord, a killer or idk he sells young naive girls like her. But no, his corny and cringey sentences are really sincere. Lol
But the girl...oh she's another level of irritating. Spineless and in constant search for a validation: the perfect victim for a sexual predator. Every man in this drama just violate her space and she's petrified looking down - well that could be a realistic reaction because even the strong ones can unfortunately experience that panic...the point is that she had this reaction also with his lover: she clenches her fists, shut her eyes and turn her head every time he makes a move on her, the sex scenes looked like he's just raping her or in the best cases, using a sex doll. I don't know if it was the actress who couldn't get in this role or she was requested to be this much passive but I swear that was so uncomfortable! I get the passive type thing, but she was shaking like crazy unbuttoning her shirt and it wasn't even their first rodeo!! How can you call that consent? She looked like she was doing any kind of stuff (even the wine thing) just because she didn't want to disobey him. Gross.
Also! I was really annoyed how she apologized basically for being alive: she was FINE if he was ashamed to date her publicly (it was just her thinking it but still you can't be fine with something like that), she apologized to a couple of guys who forced themselves on her, she apologized for not being a "fine lady" and she was fine he disappeared for weeks with not even a text (my cells screamed he's so shadyyyy but it turned out to be yet another damn young CEO) This girl needed a consultation not a possessive dude that only says "gosh you're cute" and awkwardly pat on her head like she's a pet.
Oh and in the final episode he said something like "we already broke up so I don't need to listen to what you want"............. That really was a calling for a well placed pointy shoe on his jewels at 100km\sec speed. Destroy them so he can't fool anyone else. (I'm usually against violence, but these guys just drained my tolerance)
And yes, I decided to go in with the thriller part and it has a happy ending, she successfully escaped his grip, got him jailed and gained a bit of self respect.
Ps. Also what's that random "youtuber-like" music?? Lol

I really apologize if this rant hurts your feelings about this drama but my pride was hurt too watching this thing xD
