Yeah, it is melodramatic and she does get raped. *spoilers* but I think it was a good drama where she showcased solid acting.
Of course, Michelle Yim, Liza wang, Gigi Chiu lasted much longer and have better acting skills, yet alone charms. But the new wave of actresses these days, come and go. I think 10 years is a decent amount of time. I doubt she would raise into international fame like Vicki, but she her fan base is strong in Asia.
I agree on her singing. I don't really pay attention to it anymore because frankly.. she has that voice that will never improve .....>.>;;
btw, I do like Ruby's fashion. I think her fashion is consistent as well
