The good? I liked the relationship between Oraya and her father. They had some good scenes. I also enjoyed the dynamic with 3 of the characters when they lived together. The bad... the writing style wasn't particularly memorable. The final twist, despite its predictability, frustrated me. It is such a common trope now that definitely could have been done better. Lastly the fact that
he kills her father and then forces her into a marriage
just completely kills it for me.
