It's ok

Not the most awesome drama in history but it's entertaining and very well acted. I have already read the webtoon it's based on but I am not comparing them. I see it as its own story.

So my main issues with this drama are :

- I could barely stand Si Eun and found him very dislikeable. Personal preference. No hate.

- I wish the trio relationship and characters would have been way more developed. We barely see them actually interacting with each other before it got dismantled. What do they actually love in each others ? What do they each bring to each others ? What do they see in each other ? I wished we could have actually learned more about them through one another and see them change positively thanks to their bond, before it started to break down and regress because of the inherent character flaws they had (well, especially Beom Seok's character flaws). It was brushed too quickly, so it didn't impact me that much. I didn't have enough material to actually feel involved and really care about their relationship, and the characters on their own even.

- The reason their relationships broke wasn't developed enough either. Because of Young Yi? Beom Seok was insecure and got jealous + the return of those bullies that traumatised him (as if he wasn't enough with his dumbass father), I got that, but it happened very quickly, and because their friendship wasn't very interesting in the first place (imo) it just happened like that and didn't really make me feel like it mattered much.

- I didn't like the OST. Too cheesy. Just isn't fitting imo.

Other than that, the pacing is ok, acting is definitely good, characters are interesting. Beam Seok is a very good, very flawed and very tragic character. Fights ARE awesome. I loved watching them. Ending is good, heart wrenching but appropriately done, I think.

So yeah. I liked it but I didn't love it.
