Can we stop with the "fat is ugly" trope? (rant)

This story had promise but as someone who is overweight (a former athlete with multiple surgeries) I get so sick and tired of dramas using the "she would be beautiful if she was skinny" device. I've seen some girls who were skinny turn beautiful when they put on weight and some cute chubby girls turn ugly as skinny girls. This trope is right up there with "if she didn't have glasses she would be beautiful".

You know what? I have glasses and I bought contacts and you know what happened when I wore my contacts? I stayed ugly. My eyes just got smaller. I never knew I had small eyes until I wore contacts. Who knew my glasses made them bigger?!

And can we stop with the fat suits?!

Find a fat actress. There are many of them that they can be found even in Asia. The fat face is ridiculous. My body is fat and my face is chubby but I don't look like I swallowed a stone or balloon. Some of us are literally starving ourselves to get skinny and we remain the same because our genetics hate us also we have thyroid issues and one thyroid was removed due to a 5-inch tumor that I've complained about for a decade and doctors ignored just saying "lose more weight" but I digress.

Also, I'm fat and I used to deliver food. I have NEVER wanted to eat my customer's food especially after I drop it on the floor. Like what the hell was that scene about? We have to set up the "meet cute". That's not cute. That's defamation of fat people. Oh, fat people are disgusting and can't stop themselves from eating, what monsters they'll eat your food if you're not fast enough to come to the door.

Did I feel personally attacked watching this? Maybe.

Did it stop me from watching this? No.

Was it wishful fulfillment of a fat girl wishing a hot guy would date me? NO!
I've dated hot guys and hot dummies cause I'm good in bed (for a fatty). See now I'm doing it. This stupid drama.

If you don't like it then don't watch it.

I enjoyed this drama. You have two characters who have been betrothed their entire childhood to each other. The older one Lian is more responsible and pragmatic in his thinking. Lian loves the little one Kuea whom he has known since he was a baby. Lian could have been a complete jerk and extremely possessive over Kuea. Instead, as they were nearing the time to be married Lian wanted to make sure of his own feelings as well as knowing if he was deserving of Kuea's love and admiration. Lian loved Kuea but did that love come around just because his family also pressured him to take care of Kuea due to their close family ties?

Kuea has only ever had eyes for Lian but that kinda turned him into a doll aka Annabelle. A possessed doll of love who only acted a certain way around Lian because he thought he had to act a certain way due to Lian's position in life: family and business. Lian wanted the real Kuea to be with him forcing Kuea to "act out" and show his true self (Kirin). Lian liberated Kuea and Kuea liberated Lian in being able to freely love him for him and not what Kuea thought Lian wanted him to be.

The side couple were two of my favorite people Max and Nat aka Yi and Diao. Their story was interesting but they later go on to do Naughty Babe (which was a little confusing and way more dramatic than it should have been IMO).

Overall I thought this drama was cute and I've re-watched it several times. I found NuNew's acting really cute and adorable.

What happened? What did I watch?

This series had some of the best actors and they wasted their talent with crappy writing.

I liked the story at the beginning but by the end, I didn't know how the story was going to end and I still don't get it.

I would love to get with some people and rewrite this story because there was so much potential and then nothing.

Do not get me started on the kissing scenes. They had chemistry but what the heck. I do feel bad for the lead main male because he is a good actor but at times he looked too old.

I liked Chalarm but again talent wasted and not enough time to go into their story. I also still don't understand why Dino's people were fighting with other people and their one friend would set him up...like what?

I gave music a low score because I don't remember any music.
