So crazy it became good
Watched this in 2024, just 5 years after it's release but it felt like it was older. It's a melodrama that would try to illicit as much water from your tear ducts as possible.
Story is simple and could probably be shown in fewer episodes. Mari is an abused woman who ran away from Inwook her obsessive CEO husband and asked the plastic surgeon Jungwoon to change her face. He made her look like his dead wife. Sharing their sorrows with each other the began to fall in love. But does Jungwoon really love Mari or just the face of his dead wife? And what about Inwook who would stop at nothing to find his wife and who seem to recognize Mari despite her changed face?
Because it was stretched out to 40 episodes, the cat and mouse game seemed repetitive at times but remained entertaining and unpredictable until the last episode. The actor who played Inwook was so good. His visuals are what you would expect for a charismatic and powerful CEO, his tortured face as he begged for Mari's love was so pitiful, but it can turn so scary when he goes crazy. I also really liked the damsel in distress acting of the before surgery FL. The rest of the actors were just okay. The after surgery FL seemed to show the same expressions which distracted me a little but I've learned to just ignore it. I liked this story and the fact that titles are based on the meaning of flowers, however I wished they made the FL more independent, maybe learning some self defense instead of just waiting to be rescued.
