The first few episodes were leading up to an amazing anime, too bad the other 7 episodes had to ruin it by getting worse and worse and further from the actual plot of the anime, it felt like filler, and rashly patched up in the final episode being like "they might be liking eachother more but that fake childhood friend guy that's only out for the heroines family wealth DIDN'T HAPPEN ANYTHING TO. HE'S STILL JUST SORTA THERE BEING A FAKE"
This is honestly something i could fall in love with, the chemistry between a girl that has rejected every boy that's come after her and someone from her past coming back for revenge. Even as far as scheming with one of her closest friends & servants to give her a taste of how it feels to make her a better person. Them being caught meeting up together was a turning point, but not what i wanted for a series like that. After a close traffic accident and being saved by the hero, it felt like some amount of trust would have been gained between the two of them, but some random girl just comes out of the car that almost killed/ seriously injured the heroine being like "HEY I'M THE NEW MAIN STAY SIDE CHARACTER OF THE SERIES" Then she's weird for a while during the summer vacation just being a romance rival for romance rivals sake, the hero sure is stubborn to go after a girl he says he doesn't like when "more his type" are forced in his face all the time, but that's the part i love, he's sacrificed a lot of nice chances of relationships he would probably be really happy with, just for the heroine. But its not mutual, as soon as someone came in literally the final 3 episodes she's like "take me daddy pig" when she knows nothing about him other then him being all deceptive and lying and etc etc. That's the part i don't like
This show has a lot of things about trust issues, and its given me trust issues of romance anime because they always pull shit like this out of nowhere. I would love to rate this 1/100, but the first episodes was showing me how much i liked both the main characters, they had chemistry even though one tried to trick the other, and by doing so falling in love himself. Like they could have redeemed it in the ending being like "i exposed your shady past with your poor family and you're only marrying the heroine for her money, get dabbed on" that would have been a more satisfying ending, but instead its just season 2 bait, and i honestly hope it doesn't get a season 2, and if it gets one I'm sure not watching it.
