From seeing some of the negative reviews I don't think everyone was watching the same show. I'm guessing some people left bad reviews because they weren't pleased about their favorites & such. Some of them didn't even complete the series & are just giving low ratings. If you don't like the series why did you even watch it? Nobody forced you to watch it. Some of the reviews didn't even make sense. Anyways everyone is entitled to their own opinions so I'm just gonna say I enjoyed everything about the series. The hype & wait was worth it. I didn't skip a single scene. All the actors delivered. The cast said in an interview it was a romance themed mafia bl so i don't know how much more gore people were expecting or how much more s*x scenes. Some didn't read the novel so they give rating according to the series (Ithink thats a lie) but some of these same people give high ratings to some very s**tty shows. Make it make sense.
