Flor Selvagem (2017)

I like a good revenge story as much as the next person but....

I started this one because I found a dubbed-in-Spanish version on YouTube (its one of the ways I keep my bilingual skills strong). I liked the premise: young woman seeks revenges against the evil family that destroyed her own family when she was young. However...this one kept pissing me off because it was soooo illogical.

Basically, this young woman is one of the richest people in the country and while I can understand personally wanting to enact revenge against this family, she never acts like she has all sorts of resources at her disposal! Because, if you're one of the richest people in the country and want to enact revenge against a CLEARLY corrupt political family, hire a bunch of really good lawyers to dig up all their dirt, some skilled mercenaries to protect said lawyers while they're digging, and, finally, ensure all of their political rivals get elected instead. *slaps dirt off hands* Done. She could have brought them down without ever leaving Manila (and supposedly she’d been trained in revenge! Pffft!)--andall without getting her beloved staff killed/maimed/hurt. There’s no way I would survive 100+ episodes of this. Even if the ML is adorbs.

PS. The evil lead of the family gave me high blood pressure every time he was was on screen, I wanted to slap the evil female lead every time she came on screen, and the evil lead's heir looked like he was twelve.
