Drôle et nécessaire
C'est incroyable de voir un Kdrama avec un tel sujet et traité de façon si fun et ouverte. La sexualité, surtout féminine, c'est encore tabou et je n'ai jamais vu un drama l'aborder ainsi. Je ne m'attendais pas à ce que ce soit aussi drôle, osé, et intéressant. Un casting au top en plus. Même si je regrette quand même la "propagande romantique" et le côté "je rentre dans le rang avec le bon homme" qui prend le dessus au final (davantage pour le personnage secondaire de l'excellence amie dont le personnage a été gâché pour moi) j'ai quand même passé un moment vraiment sympa.Was this review helpful to you?

Bringing the heat!
Very mature KDrama. Plot wise, it was refreshing to see a more open and mature discussion around sex and what that looks like for different types of people.Some of the sex scenes (not the main lead scenes but small side character sex scenes) honestly dragged a bit too much so it just felt gratituous at times.
Overall, I enjoyed it. I liked that it was short and really enjoyed watching our two main couples and their HOT kisses and sex scenes. Gave a lower rating due to the last episode - the ending appears open ended but it pretty much leans on a HEA for the main couple which is good but then why did the writer have Hani's character end her FWB relationship with the writer over the excuse of wanting "time" for herself if that time just ended up being a mere month? Idk, it just seemed unecessary to have had the dramatics of her ending their friendship if she was just gonna get back with him so quick. But again, I took the ending as a HEA with her and In-chan getting back together so it's not certain.

This drama is about two best friends suddenly being tasked with hosting a podcast about love and sex. Neither are really in a capacity to give professional advice, but they do lend a listening ear. On one hand, Mi Na only dallies with casual hook-ups, and is not looking for anybody for more than a romp in the hay. Meanwhile, Hee Jee is stuck in a boring rut with her longtime boyfriend, who cares more about what’s on screen than carrying an actual conversation with his girlfriend. Though neither of them feels jealous of each other’s situation, sometimes they wish to improve their love and sex lives. In the eight brief episodes, we see both women grappling with the idea that there is more to life than just having meaningless sex, and comparatively, that they are not obligated to stay with one person just because it is easy and convenient. Change is a thing; yes, it could be scary, but the braver you are to explore what you truly want, the more rewarding your life experience will be.
Both Ahn Hee Yeon and Bae Woo Hee’s portrayal of these women come across as natural. The two male leads are not too shabby as well. I find the drama very refreshing as it tackles mature topics with candidness. I love how both female characters developed as individuals when exploring relationships outside of their comfort zone. The drama fearlessly delves into different perspectives on romance and sexual relationships that may not align with conventional values or beliefs, but are not deemed wrong or right, nonetheless.

Short, sweet, and sexy
A kdrama about female sexual pleasure? With both explicit and hot sex scenes, a charming script, and accurate sexual health information? Who knew such a thing was possible.This was a delight from beginning to end. It’s not that deep, but it has a relatable, earnest, and sweet story alongside all the sexy stuff. I found the main pairing more compelling than the second leads (while they were quite beautiful their chemistry was a bit off for me).
Overall a really fun and quick watch - I did it all in one sitting!

Romance Reimagined
I don’t know how to express exactly what I feel about this drama.Usually, dramas with mature content like nudity and explicit scenes tend to fall into one of two categories: they either become literal corn without any plot, or the plot is so poor that it’s hard to watch. However, this drama doesn’t fit into either extreme. It’s neither overdone with excessive nudity nor underdone with a terrible plot. Instead, it finds a balanced middle ground.
For Korea, I believe this drama represents a significant step forward. I appreciate how it portrays sex as something healthy, rather than something to be ashamed of or looked down upon—a perspective often found in more conservative societies, including Korea. I learned a lot from this drama, especially about romantic relationships.
Both couples in the story were very engaging. One character transitions from a toxic, restrictive relationship to finding freedom, realizing she doesn’t need to rush into another relationship immediately after gaining her independence. The other character always sought freedom because she never felt secure, and her journey contrasts beautifully with the first character’s. This contrast effectively highlights the different dynamics of relationships, emphasizing that all types are normal. Importantly, the second female lead is not portrayed as promiscuous just because she didn’t have a strict, monogamous relationship. This nuanced depiction is refreshing and avoids negative stereotypes..
Unlike many K-drama that often stick to the same boring traditional romantic tropes, this drama explores the complexities of love and relationships that feel real and relatable. The inclusion of elements like HIV tests underscores the importance of sexual education, making the drama not just entertaining but informative. Overall, this drama feels like a breath of fresh air. It’s not perfect, but it leaves a lasting impression. It shows that a drama can be simple yet well-executed, with nudity as a component rather than the focus. The writer and director deserves commendation for creating such a memorable and impactful work.

A show we needed
This show was a pleasant surprise to find — beneath a raunchy premise, is a drama that 100% empowers women. It's about affirming women and validating their desires, their choices, and their refusals.The friendship between Mina and Heejae is so sweet, and they went just fleshed out enough in this drama's short runtime, which I can appreciate. I think Woohee and Hani were incredibly charming picks for our leads, as they both just give great energy on screen.
Overall, this show was surprisingly progressive, advocating for safety, for pride over guilt, and for really having a good relationship with one's own body. We live in a world ruled by male gaze that prioritizes male desire, and watching this show is such a healthy step for women to let go of the shame and guilt that's forced upon us. A great watch!

Sex is the only content here
Many of the reviews claimed it as mature content, well if you ask for my opinion I will say it depends. Depends on how you define that maturity. If sex is the only parameter then yes it's a mature one. But if you level up maturity as a mental one then it is actually not really mature content. Anyone who just passed their teenage, having a sexual relationship is good enough to understand the content of this show. As the name said, the drama starts with some explicit sexual content, which was sure to shock the viewers I believe. But the rest of the drama is not the same. To be honest I did not really like the first 2 episodes that much but I kept watching on a fast-forward mode also the runtime to not long so it was bearable. After 3rd episode, I found things quite interesting.Reading previous reviews and comments I became curious as though the rating is pretty good still some of the reviews suggested it might be a waste of time. Well after completing the show I can’t say so actually. It was good for time to pass. There was a story, won’t say a strong one but yes, the story does exist. But for such mature content, character development is very important I believe. But this drama has little to no character development for any of the leads except Mi Na. In her case at least they tried.
The story revolves around two girls, Hee Jae and Mi Na. One is dating another does not want to have a relationship. And both ended up in a reverse scenario. Both their stories are a classic friends-with-benefits relationship that ends up with being an actual couple. While the character development of Mi Na was good enough considering the short runtime, it was trash in the case of Hee Jae.
Let’s start with her breakup. At first, they portrayed Hee Jae as a conservative one, who can not even discuss with her BF her dissatisfaction in sex, faking it for 5 long years! But still holding it because she had strong feelings for her BF. But now she was determined to break up and the reason and the backstory between them were ambiguous. They portrayed Hyeon Woo as a male chauvinist but they put little to no effort to show how slowly the feeling of Hee Jae for Hyeon Woo faded away due to his negligence and carelessness. Even some small flashbacks would be enough but no. Rather, to get along with the Title they emphasize sexual dissatisfaction which seemed very out of logic and confusing at the same time. How the character of Hee Jae started and then how overnight she became someone who is begging to have sex with Chan made things seriously ridiculous and made the character Hee Jae a very very sallow one.
The story between Chan and Hee Jae is basically a story of two people who are out of love, one (FL) wanted to have sex without love and another (ML) wanted to fall in love again. I understand the theme of the show is Female sexual satisfaction but that doesn’t necessarily need to make the FL an easy one, she was portrayed like she will have sex with anyone, by anyone I meant anyone! She was ready to have sex with the guy from a blind date who in the end refused her due to his mother. What the F**K. then she literally stalked Chan everywhere to have sex! This was annoying to me. I understand she never ever had the feeling to have orgasm so desperately seeking for it. So maybe it was me only, but I didn’t like this concept at all. Even when Chan wanted to get close to her, and get to know each other all she was thinking about was Sex, all the time they spent together reading books, campfire, and drinking she just kept asking when they were gonna have sex. It looked like a maniac to me. If I were Chan, I would feel disgusted for sure. Though at the end of episode 6, she did admit it was the mood that aroused her but I didn’t like the sequences before that.
On the other hand, the story of Mi Na was good and enjoyable compared to the other one. Even though it was short, they showed why she is like this, only considers a good sex partner and fears falling. Though a part of hers desperately seeks someone's care. The story between Mi Na and Woo Jae was also good to watch, though a cliche one, you know what is going to happen still you will find it interesting. Even their kissing scenes were enjoyable. The first one is full of lust and 2nd one is full-on emotion. Liked it actually.
The show conveys that satisfactory sex involves more than just physicality. Touch, communication, and emotional connection are highlighted as crucial elements. While the delivery of this message falls short, it remains an enjoyable aspect of the show. The show offers a nuanced perspective on sexual satisfaction. Despite flaws, it provides an engaging viewing experience.

Oh for a Mr.Kang in my life…..
This short and snappy little series was perfection.all the leads were brilliant actors (definitely shouldn’t be saying this but the ML bodies………oof!). So refreshing to have such open and frank discussions on sex, especially from S.Korea -not their regular take at all, but it was so well done, never sleazy in any way and i learned a few things I didn’t know.The sex scenes -and there were plenty - were all in relation to the storyline and never came across as being there just for the sake of it. As i said in the headline special mention must be given to Mr.Kang , Park Sun Ho played his role sublimely, dont think i’ll ever forget the car lovemaking scene, it bordered on art.All in all this series brought a beaming smile with every episode , not a thing that i experience often.everyone over 18 should watch this, its entertaining, its informative, its beautiful sex scenes are thrilling .hoping there will be a second season, will definitely be re watching the first season, no prizes for guessing why!enjoy!Was this review helpful to you?
Raunchy romance sex comedy drama
Now that's the real shocker. A kdrama that's not afraid to go down the R-rated road!It's somehow softcore porn and yet very romantic at the same time, which I guess only a kdrama could pull off, as it has all the usual tropes you'd expect and is one through and through... except a lot more sexually explicit. Is it the beginning of a new subgenre?
It's pretty good, and educational too. I liked how frank the characters were, both to themselves and to others in their lives. All the leads were great, but the audio editing was rough. Script had some issues too.
It moves at a brisk pace and has no real downtime typical of the genre. Very much enjoyable.
For those annoyed that most kdrama characters seem to be wearing chastity belts, then this is the one for you I guess? A welcome variation, if not a bit too basic overall.

Real! Raw! Raunchy!
If you're tired of slow burn romances and super corny comedies, look no further than here!This show has plenty of romance and drama mixed in with a lot of laughter and lots of sexual scenes to keep you on your toes (so be careful where and who you watch this around)! It focuses on unlocking women's pleasure and embracing their sexuality in the most realistic, encouraging, and supportive way. There were all sorts of different scenarios and circumstances and I'm sure you could find at least one to relate to which I appreciated. As much as this show might be educating and fun for a more feminine crowd, it's eye-opening and enjoyable for all [mature] audiences!
I loved:
~ the soundtrack - I Shazamed every song I heard and played the opening and ending on repeat
~ the characters - the female leads friendship was super cute and reminded me of my own friends & the male leads were both really considerate and kind, the sides characters were great additions as well
~ the story - I felt like I was a listener of the podcast who got a behind the scenes look into the hosts' lives which was really enjoyable and well done
I would totally rewatch this with my friends someday!

For mature audience only
I love the sex scenes done so naturally by all the actors in this short drama. It's so refreshing to see how the female lead wants, to find her true self after the break-up from her past relationship/// sex toys, dildos etc... I laugh a lot on these scenes esp. when they were shopping for them in the store. Thankful for her bestie, bbf introducing them to her. I enjoyed watching all 8 episodes - the plot story about two couples with their views on love and relationship. The person I admire most is In Chan, an ideal boyfriend wanting to fall in love with HeeJae and not just have sex with her. I love the fact that he was willing to wait for her. I think he understood that she did not just want him to be used (on a rebound relationship) by her. She needed time to find herself, love herself and be loved in return. I was happy that they get to meet again. Same with Mi Na, she found her second chance on falling in love after all the casual sex with sex partners and Woo Jae was perfect for her. They were destined to be together. Definitely a 10 for rewatch.Was this review helpful to you?
