I enjoyed this one. Sophia cut her losses and enjoyed her life and Carolina was her own downfall. Patrick spent years paying for his mistake and had no choice but to move on afterwards.
Carolina is the center of this story. She broke the engaged couple apart, successfully got a rich boyfriend - and did nothing from then on. Sophia gave her a good summary of what she should have been doing to become a respected upper class lady. But she didn't do any of that. She brought in her greedy family and clinged to Patrick, being just an idle rich woman - a mistake she payed dearly. She obviously whithered in this relationship, lost her personality, drive for own developement and consequently also lost own future in this marriage. Also did some stupid things and got ridiculed, which didn't help either. Patrick resented her instead of helping her to integrate, it seems they were just infatuated teenagers who didn't have an idea what they are facing. Caroline is also a person who lost the most in this situation. But she wasn't justified to accuse Sophia for her fate, bashing it all on her background. as all, she went through and where she ended, was her own doing, her own decidions and choices. Hopefully she learned at least that everything has a price to be payed for and demands an effort to be kept.
Very true. The difference between being the victim and survivor is that the survivor preserves. They don't let their trauma, past, or pain push them down. Carolina did not make right choices while Sophia made it clear that she would have chosen herself over a savior. How sad...
Omg people here supporting carolina... seriously ?? She might be pitiful but she clearly knows that patrick is in a relationship with sophia... yet she clinged onto him... she should have set boundaries between them... and sophia... she has every right to be mad at her.. afterall she was betrayed by both of them not just caroline or patrick... It's not just patricks fault both him and carolina are equally responsible
I don't think people are supporting the cheating - just that Sofia didn't seem like a good person either. She was hard to like given she only places value on people based on how they dress and their social class.
This seems to be a very dividing story for once - the FL didn't getting as much support as normal and it looks like people are wondering why. I had a long think about why I didn’t connect with her and she comes across as arrogant to me. This was my interpretation of her actions, bearing in mind that we don’t hear Carolina’s point of view, so it’s hard to say how malicious her intentions were. - Carolina was bullied in school due to her low-class background. Sofia admits she is in a position of influence at school and is like by her peers but doesn’t intervene. - Sofia sees Carolina and Patrick together and vents her anger at tennis by humiliating Carolina. Sure, she’s entitled to feel aggrieved, but it was ultimately Patrick who betrayed her. Carolina showed a weakness in character by being involved with a guy who was in a relationship, but Patrick was the one in the relationship with Sofia. I felt like she really should have vented on Patrick if she was going to go after anyone, but it seemed to me that she targeted Carolina because she was vulnerable and she couldn’t really do anything to Patrick. - Sofia says things like "I'm the most beautiful girl in school". Why not just say "I'm very beautiful"? - Sofia later meets up with Carolina and gives her some (arguably) well-intended advice. I disagree with some of the advice (particularly about studying fashion) but ultimately the advice feels victim-blamey. She’s not necessarily wrong, but I don’t think it was the main issue in their relationship. Again Sofia doesn’t really put any blame on Patrick or his family. Had Patrick’s family supported their DIL and either didn’t care about her social slip-ups, or supported her and explained patiently where she went wrong, this marriage would have gone very differently. At worse, Carolina’s main mistake in her marriage was that she was ignorant and didn’t educate herself without the support of her in-laws or husband. Patrick’s family were malicious. - Again the worst issues seem to be with Carolina’s family breaking the law and generally being greedy. It’s unclear if Carolina asked Patrick to assist them or if he did it out of obligation but it does seem like if Patrick drew some hard lines and didn’t help, Carolina wouldn’t have been able to force him. As someone else already said, it seemed like Patrick was infatuated with Carolina because she was a breath of fresh air and unpretentious. Once the novelty wore off, he puts her down in public and Sofia admits that nobody tells Carolina what to do - including her own husband. The main villain seems to be Patrick for me, but he doesn’t really seem to be held accountable like Carolina. Ultimate this story doesn’t hit with me because it just smacks of women putting other women down and not holding the men to the same standard. The main criticisms of Carolina, once she was married, are based on her wealth and upbringing and the actions of her family and lack of support from her in-laws.
I don’t hate Carolina that much. She is pitiful and didn’t bully Sophia behind Patrick’s back like what other white lotus “heroine” do to “villainess” fmc. The FMC, Sophia, on the other hand did bully Carolina like what those “villainess” do. Carolina’s fault is that she never adjusted herself and her family for Patrick that made them a laughingstock, and didn’t listen to FMC’s last advice on her. She was blinded by love. For me, it was Patrick who deserves to be hated here. He knows he has a fiancee but decided to cheat on her. I do personally believe Carolina didn’t planned to steal Patrick from Sophia. She just naturally fall in love with him. It is disgusting that Patrick got his own happy ending in the end after hurting both Sophia and Carolina.
Are you fr!? Carolina didn't plan to steal Patrick but naturally fell in love with him!? That's exactly called cheating, you fell for a married person and then started to pursue him. How's she innocent and Patrick isn't!? Such a BS excuse.
@@syrajatt6141 I mean I never remember Carolina planned some dirty tricks to ruin Patrick and Sophia's relationship. She naturally fell in love with Patrick because she saw him as her savior. But she choose to keep it to herself and just continue being friends with him. It was Patrick who choose to be bias in favor of Carolina and cancelled his engagement with Sophia so that's why I blame him.
@@thelonewolf3582 any girl with dignity & little intelligence would never get so close any engaged man. Carolina is not any victim but a greedy, Jealous fool that thought irresponsible man like Patrick who can abandon his excellent girlfriend fr another girl, will remain faithful forever. due to her foolish greedy nature, she thought his unfaithful husband's money will support her forever, that's why even being a good student she gave up her career and became an idle person without any skill only knows to enjoy wealth. she was always envious of Sophia's Birth identity but never tried to see how Sophia is doing hard work to improve herself despite having such good background. if Patrick showed his partiality, Carolina also enjoyed this partiality to take advantage. in the end 2 selfish persons hv got their unhappy ending.
I can't believe people are siding with Carolina because she was poor and wanted to live a comfortable live etc. Seriously it's concerning that so much people are okay to think that, as long as you are poor you shouldn't have any morals. She engaged herself with married man and she's no different than Patrick. Defending Carolina like defending a thief, his only fault was to steal something from rich but he was poor and he was desperate for money etc. poor excuses and justification.
I feel like Patrick attracted to Carolina "innocence" at first, she is different than the people he normally mingle with. A breath of fresh air. Patrick should have had a tutor or teacher to help Carolina to learn the etiquette and ways of their circle It's been 7 years! And yet nope. Nothing. The moment he feels like she's becoming a burden, annoying, and her family brought shame, he literally abandoned her, hating her. He left her alone to fend for herself in the circle that she is not familiar with. Before marrying, they should have talk, make sure to give boundaries to the relatives. Talk to their family. Carolina have potential, and as Sophia said, she could have at least work in the company, gain experiences or open a shop/business (If Patrick still "love" her, he might have help and inject capital)
@@syrajatt6141 Mhmm~ That's why I can't exactly 100% pity her Thinking everything will be alright once she married into money, and didn't give any effort to learn or do anything =.= Carolina might "fall" for Patrick since he's the only one that is kind to her and help her Patrick like her "meek and innocent personality" They are using each other. Patrick and Carolina is indeed both at fault, welp
Carolina is stupid and pitiful but not malicious. Sophia seems to be a bully at first but immediately cut her losses and became indifferent. Patrick tried hard for Carolina but eventually gave her up and found a society lady. I didn't like that he got a happy ending and Carolina just disappeared. Should have given Carolina a happy ending too with her married to someone who loves her and away from her family's clutches
A realistic ending though as someone all for good vengeance I'd have loved if Fls new guy was super powerful rival of Ex or if Ex married another divorcee who was known for her philandering ways or something...
Amazing story ❤ One line in the last Sophie said Patrick and his fiance both from same background(means rich) and they are perfect for each other Trust me true love is not about same background its about how you both compromise and settle for each other at every single moment and test of your life and improve yourself for eachother too as we should change with time and place (my opinion). Female lead is good I love the story but her thinking that two should come from same background is wrong instead if you two love eachother then two should work together on eachother and the relationship dispite of their status shit and improve each other for the relationship and eachother ❤
The one who should do a lot of improving was Carolina. She entered the social circle completly different than her, but stayed pasive, just thinking that being there is enough. FL gave her very good summary of what she should have done to be accepted and recognized as lady of rich family, but she didn't do any of that. The ending was expected, she didn't have career, gave up on herself and just clinged there like parasite the same as all her family did. It's funny that her husband resented her instead of helping her to integrate, telling her what and how to do it. Obviously they were not a true love but only had a rush of teenage infatuation which didn't grow into a true connection...
@@zdem8259 You are exactly right, both infect if he really was in love he would have helped Caroline in the journey and if Caroline had really loved him she would have changed herself for both of their betterment but no she didn't (which shows nothing matters other than having a rich husband for her). Actually we should change with time and place no matter if we are in a relationship or single it's for our own good. AND CAREER IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR BOTH MALE AND FEMALE (except some who want to be housewife/househusband in this situation having a wonderful life partner who supports you needed which is like you are lucky if you got)
Honestly I felt bad for Carolina, it's Patrick who cheats on Fl, but Carolina faced the bullying in the school. The only fault that Carolina has she was foolish to think her life would be easy as she married in riches , she should continue her studies and atleast find a job as a research, doctor, lawyer or some buisness analysts. It would give her a chance to grow more.
She made her bed, the only fault was her biggest fault. You can't stay happy after helping a man to cheat. She isn't pitiful at all. She faced bad times and she contributed in creating it for others. It's more like to say, the only mistake of Thief was stealing but he was poor. RIP justification for Carolina.
This was horrible - Sofia is an awful person. She thinks so much of herself - so pretty and educated, like this is the only way to have value in society. Carolina was right, Sofia's confidence and looks (knowledge about fashion etc.) clearly came from her upbringing. And starting up another business in her name only wither her in-laws' money? Makes 0 sense. Most families concentrate on one business to make it successful. Businesses take a lot of time and energy to build up and most fail early on. The only reason to start up one by herself would be if she planned for her marriage to fail and she was never putting in effort to stay. Maybe she would have been better investing in further education to get a high up position in her husband's company? Worst case, she has experience to work in a different company if she divorces. Best case, she helps her husband's company. All Sofia's friends were bullies and for no other reason than their wealth and privileged upbringing. She doesn't have a live-in English tutor - the shame! Sofia should have said something about it before Patrick ever intervened.
How Sofia is an awful person!? Does it make Carolina better!? Anyone can be confident and fashion sensation without being rich. People who like to look good, they stay updated about fashion and it has nothing to do with the background and she worked hard to start and continue the business. With her in-laws money, how does it make sense?? And if a woman is concentrated on her career. Does it mean that she has no intentions to stay married!? What a damn logic and Carolina was engaged with already married person and stayed in his circle for years, why didn't she learn anything!? Why blaming Sofia for her own failure!? Did Sofia steal someone's man!? No and did you hurt someone intentionally no so only awful is Patrick and Carolina but let's ignore because Carolina was poor so she doesn't need to bound herself with morals and Patrick is a man who couldn't control himself and stay loyal. So just blame Sofia.
You didn't find any logical reason to criticise Sofia so you can defend that poor Carolina lol. She was confident and upgraded about fashion because of family background and started a business with in-laws money and has no intentions to stay married so Carolina was right to be homewrecker etc. girl your own comment doesn't make sense at all. You couldn't find a logical reason to blame Sofia so you can defend Carolina who deliberately involves herself with a married man to live a luxurious lifestyle.
@@syrajatt6141 Gosh you are really triggered. I am sorry if I offended you by saying bulling is wrong, but it is. They were bullying Carolina well before she started chasing the guy. Sofia joined in after the cheating, true, but she didn't stop any of it before hand either and they were all her friends. The cheating also doesn't actually justify bullying. Especially if you aren't bullying someone for a character flaw but their economic background. I don't really understand your English or what you are saying. Maybe I phrased it badly and you didn't understand? I never mentioned Sofia starting a business or her work ethic. I am sure she's a hard worker. She's still a bully. Sofia told Carolina that she should have used her in-law's money to start her own business and be self-sufficient. I disagreed because that's not normally what you do when you get married. You normally combine everything and work towards a goal as a family because you are more efficient working together. I agree she could have bettered herself by getting better educated and contributing to the family business, but I disagree that she should have used her in-law's to start her own company in preparation for being self-sufficient - that's not normally how marriage works. Sofia's criticisms of Carolina are also about fashion and social etiquette, Carolina was looked down upon for cleaning her own mess and not leaving it to the maid. I don't feel like these are just reasons to look down on someone personally but that's your call. Sofia also criticised Carolina for not learning about fashion. I personally don't place a high social value or judge people on how people dress. If her husband stopped loving her because she doesn't keep to the latest clothing trends, I think that says something more about the husband. I made 0 comments about Carolina as a person. She is a cheater so clearly has a character flaw there, but at least she wasn't a bully or look down on people based on wealth and how they dress. I didn't touch on the relationship, Sofia is entitled to feel wronged about that because she was. She is still a bully and looks down on people due to wealth and social class though. Bad people can still be cheated on.
Sophia has not done anything wrong, in fact after returning she even politely talked to both of them, if it was a person in real life like me, I wouldn't have bothered to talk to them, when Patrick at the time of breaking of engagement insulted her and blamed her, why bother to talk to a person like him.
Everyone’s a victim but also the predator in this story but still I feel like carolina turned that way because all of them… if they dint bully her and made her rely on the guy so much nun this would happen you girls ain’t innocent enough to be judging calories at this point y’all evil
Still he was engaged? When he married Caroline he starts going after Sophia like he regretted marrying Caroline. Literally Sophia let him go and moved on to better herself. Caroline should have known better, if she’s fooling with an engaged man she needs to walk away that is still cheating.
How? Sophia moved on from the leading man? She was the one who broke off the engagement. But since Carolina is poor we should all weep and defend her. Nah Carolina is also at fault as well. She wanted to marry into a rich family and have that noble status. Honestly y’all who are defending Carolina want to marry rich and not have the hardwork of making a name of yourself. Pathetic.
@@rubyguha1192before continue to watch, this fl end up with someone or end up with the man who broke her heart? The good ending for both is when she forgive him and end up together.
Just finished it. Its a FL ends up with someone else but we don’t see much of her relationship. Her ex comes off terrible but understandable and ends up remarried The “other woman” clings to him ends up disgraced but nothing too harsh. Its one of those asian “don’t reach beyond your status in life” but kinder put. Or a western “after the happily ever after title card” story type. Personally i like them but some people prefer the love was enough to save the commoner marrying the acting king who’s ex was specifically taught from toddlerhood to be the empress stories. @@overcastinggamesxl301
