A parody's worth of ridiculousness

!!Disclaimer¡¡
This review is based on my personal opinion/experience while watching. You're free to agree/disagree with it.


Where do I even start here? I'm not entirely sure what the purpose of such plot was. And in all honesty, you can't do much with this type of ideas as it isn't really something realistic nor is it logical because while I did find myself enjoying some parts, I was literally just going "huh?" at almost everything else, regardless, I don't regret watching it as I really like the cast and I watched it solely for them, the plot however, is legit like something out of a wattpad or ao3 novel. It was all over the place, and sometimes the plot just seemed to vanish(?) in a sense. The whole idea of a guy going undercover as his sister so his family name won't be tarnished and her marriage ruined is just really bizarre to me, like, I have way too many questions and way too little answers, why did home girl wait till her wedding day to pack up and yeet? Why didn't she just refuse to get married? Couldn't she just ask her dad to somehow break off the engagement? Why didn't she inform the poor guy of how she felt? How come only him and his dad had seen her before this whole mumbo jumbo happened? How on earth did the dad just agree to sending his son in her place? In what world would that work?......etc.
Almost nothing made sense in here, not even the weirdly forged love triangle. It was just so in your face it was honestly hilarious. I did like the parts with the second main lead tho, his persistence made me SnORt. Also the fact that our main leads didn't show prominent feelings for each other until maybe the ends made me laugh harder than it should have. So, is it some great masterpiece? Nah, more of a messy draft of some fanfic. Is the plot that bad? In some ways it it, but it was unintentionally funny (at least to me) so can't fault them for that.

For the characters/cast I just wanna ask one thing, was there even a script here? Cuz it sure as hell didn't feel like it. It's like the director went "alright, I need you guys to pretend like you're some chaebols from ancient korea and just improvise the rest" when they started filming. I didn't understand the motives behind anything the characters did or said, it was always just confusing to me. The actors did their best to make this.....whatever this is work sooooo yeah, cast/characters : a solid 6 and that's me being kinda generous.

For the soundtrack, I honestly have no opinion on it. Nothing special about it cuz there was literally one ost throughout the whole thing so.....yeah.

In conclusion, this isn't a show to be taken seriously, more of an hour worth of unintended comedy. The show wasn't made to be funny, but the amount of flaws in it and the sheer ridiculousness of the situation the whole plot is revolving around made it feel like a circus show or some parody of some sort lol. So, do I advice against watching it or do I encourage giving it a try? I say if you have nothing better to do and you're looking for something to laugh at, give it a watch, but if you're looking for a serious series with lgbtqa+ themes I suggest you don't cuz you'll be disappointed.
