The story begins with AMY's unwanted pregnancy. The good girl in the eyes of her parents and classmates became pregnant with the child of bad boy RICKY because of a one-night stand. In order to escape, or to seek love, AMY quickly got on with the rich second-generation BEN after she became pregnant.
To be honest, I didn't like AMY from the beginning. Always put on a bitter face, as if others owed her forever. Her life is also a mess, and her feelings are always swaying, always saying "BEN, I love you", and at the same time entangled with RICKY.
In contrast, my sister ASHLY is much cuter. She is more mature and sensible than her sister. She knows what she is doing, what she should do, and how to find a way out for herself and her family's small disasters. I even thought she was my sister.
Regarding the other two girls in the show, GRACE and ADRIN, as two extreme characters, add a lot to the show. One is a devout Christian girl who refuses to have sex before marriage; the other is an open slut who believes in one-night stands rather than love. They all fell in love with RICKY, and they each handled it differently. It's hard to say which one I agree with, the lifestyle stems from their experiences and family environment, in fact, they are all good girls.
Such jaw-dropping plots probably won't appear in our society, so just watch them as entertainment.
But who knows, this might just be as commonplace as home cooking in America?
