A Dissapointment to Be Sure
The show is a disappointing adaptation of a novel, suffering from a lackluster plot, awkward acting, and poor execution. The storyline is riddled with clichés, slow pacing, and uninteresting developments, failing to engage the audience. While the cast, particularly MosBank, is visually appealing, their on-screen chemistry is unconvincing, and their performances feel forced and awkward. The music is forgettable, adding nothing to the overall experience. Ultimately, the show lacks any rewatch value and fails to live up to the expectations set by its source material, leaving viewers with little reason to recommend it.
1. Story: The plot, or rather the lack thereof, is a significant issue with this show. There's no engaging narrative that hooks the viewer, leaving the entire experience feeling hollow and uninteresting. The show is riddled with clichés and predictable moments, making it feel uninspired and repetitive. What’s more, the pacing is dreadfully slow, with little to no significant developments occurring throughout. This creates a sense of stagnation, where nothing substantial seems to happen, making the entire show quite boring to watch.
The original novel, which the show is based on, has its own shortcomings. While it suffers from a weak plot, the novel at least compensates with abundant smut, which might appeal to certain readers. However, the novel's inclusion of unexpected elements like mpreg (male pregnancy) is jarring and out of place. The show, unfortunately, fails to even leverage the novel’s smutty aspects to create memorable or enticing scenes. The absence of any compelling NC scenes further diminishes the show's impact, leaving it both unremarkable and forgettable.
The subplot involving past lives is poorly executed, adding to the overall awkwardness of the narrative. These flashbacks are marred by terrible costumes and makeup, making it difficult to take these scenes seriously. As for the main plot, it’s your typical employee-CEO romance, but without any of the tension or chemistry that usually drives these stories. The execution is so lackluster that it feels like a missed opportunity, with the characters’ interactions and the progression of their relationship feeling forced and unnatural. Overall, the awkward plot progression and stilted dialogue make it hard to stay engaged, leading to a lot of fast-forwarding through the episodes.
The only saving grace for many viewers seems to be the main couple, which leads us to the next issue.
2. Acting/Cast: The cast is undeniably attractive, with MosBank being particularly easy on the eyes. Their visual appeal is undeniable, especially Bank, who stands out with his charm. However, beyond their looks, there’s little to praise. The acting is awkward and lacks depth, which could be a result of poor direction or the weak script. Watching MosBank interact on screen doesn’t evoke any strong emotions—certainly not the warm, fuzzy feelings one might expect from a romantic pairing. Instead, their chemistry is unconvincing, often feeling forced or unnatural.
At times, they seem distant, as if they’re not entirely familiar with each other, which is surprising given their close relationship off-screen. The NC scenes, which could have been a highlight, are instead bland and devoid of any real sensuality. This is a rare instance where the couple’s real-life chemistry doesn’t translate to their on-screen characters, leaving viewers disappointed.
Many fans might have been drawn to the show by the heavy marketing of MosBank’s relationship, with some believing their connection to be real. This anticipation of seeing their chemistry play out on screen is met with disappointment, as their on-screen relationship feels less genuine than their off-screen interactions. For fans of the couple, it might be more satisfying to watch their fan service on platforms like TikTok rather than enduring the awkwardness of the show.
As for the rest of the cast, they too are visually appealing but lack any memorable qualities. Their performances are just as awkward, with stilted dialogue delivery and moments where they simply stand around, reminding the viewer that this is, indeed, a poorly executed TV show. There’s no standout performance or character that leaves a lasting impression, making it difficult to care about anyone other than the main couple, and even that is a stretch.
3. Music: The music in the show is as forgettable as the plot and acting. It’s commercial and bland, offering nothing that stands out or enhances the viewing experience. The soundtrack fails to evoke any emotional response or complement the scenes, leaving the show feeling even more flat and uninspired.
Rewatch Value
4. Rewatch Value: This show has little to no rewatch value. Once you’ve seen it, there’s no real incentive to revisit it. There aren’t any standout scenes or memorable moments that would warrant a second viewing. The initial expectation of something more, perhaps based on the hype surrounding the main couple, is met with disappointment. The show is an attempt to stretch out the plot of a “porn with plot” fanfic into something more substantial, but it ultimately fails. The result is a hollow shell of a story that lacks the very elements that made the original fanfic somewhat enjoyable.
For those who are fans of MosBank, there’s hope that they might be cast in better projects in the future—ones that can truly showcase their talents as actors. But as it stands, this show does not do them justice and is not worth recommending to anyone.
