Don't be fooled by summary
Summary is just for first few episodes, story takes a whole new turn after the island arc. The island arc in itself was good and I hoped it was longer but sadly it isn't and the rest of the show just a weirdly twisted convoluted mess.
Let's talk about the problems first
First Problem: PLOT! The plot is incoherent convoluted mess. There are rudimentary twists just for the sake of twists. The narrative keeps on shifting from one stream to another. Sometimes the plot seems to be about revenge, other times about business politics, many times about a femme fatale and many other times about unrealistically complicated relationships. There is no main focus at all. Not to mention, despite having so many twists it becomes predictable. The twists themselves become predictable to the point of absolute boredom.
Second Problem: CHARACTERIZATION! The characterization is abnormal tbh. For the whole time, I was not able to comprehend the motivations of these people at all. Every single decision they take could lead only to torture for themselves, nothing else. So why are they taking these decisions? What an oddity. Seriously, I have rarely seen such a weird characterization. Is it good or is it bad? Its....ummm....ridiculous tbh.
Third Problem: ROMANCE! There is a problem in this area too sadly and actually quite a different one from what you would generally expect. The chemistry is not lacking tbh but...its....ummm....erratic to say the least. So this is how it goes, in one scene main leads are madly in love and in next they are meeting each other for the first time. That's how inconsistent the chemistry is., and not just for main leads but almost everyone. The relationships go off and on without any reason or plot changes. Most of the times you will find yourself confused about who loves who or why.
For the good parts, I would say, acting was decent, production was quite good in island arc but okayish afterwards and OST was decent.
Overall, skipped some watched some. Its watchworthy that much I could say, but average at best. 5/10
