Final problem that rather unnecessary
Its funny that what makes me wanna watch this movie because one comment in Youtube that says this movie would be pg13. With such a controversial topic like bdsm, how can they make it pg13? So i intrigued to watch it since last month. So here’s my thoughts (I will try to avoid spoilers, but LOL)Story : like i said, this is controversial topic about sexual preference, so (understandably) people would expect sensual and explicit scenes. This movie can maintain the sensual tension without giving sex scene at all, while there are people who dissapointed by it, it is huge plus for me since i don’t really mind if there is sex scene or not. My favorite scene is their “final play”, for me that scene really give many emotions. Had it been inconsistent with their sensual theme, that particular scene would be fell flat for me. Their story about culture in workplace also done well without screaming too much feminism
Acting : this is my first time watching seohyun and jun young act, and they really deliver. Seohyun as a straightforward, no-nonsense character is really endearing and jun young can pull off being good like puppy boy without being pushover. The side character is quite OK, i like Le El character here.
Music : nothing memorable but i think it suits the movie
Rewatch value : highly rewatchable, i think i would rewatch it after this
One thing i complained about is their problem in the end, i know it will happen as i watch the movie (they are quite reckless in first half), but the problem feels so abrupt and the conclusion is kinda rushed. If they just focused on their relationship after the contract ends, maybe i will give it 8.5. But for me, the ending makes me give it 8

The korean version of New Year’s Eve
Star studded cast?YesGood acting?Yes
Predictable plot? Absolutely Yes
Coincidentally, i watched this movie in new year’s eve, and this movie served what every holiday movies need to : a heartwarming stories, (lots of) eye candy, simple plot, and ultimately giving warm to audience who watched it. There’s no surprise element in this movie, everything went predictably, maybe for some people it would be boring. But hey, there are times when we would be craving for this kind of movie.
So, if you are really want to relax, or need some holiday vibe (or maybe you’re in the airplane LOL) i will highly recommend this movie for you. Don’t think too much, just enjoy the ride

Short and smooth
Soundtrack#1 centered around two main characters and the story unfolds through their interactions with each other(and side characters). There is nothing new, but this is my kind of drama if executed properly. I like that despite its short time, the story is at consistent pace and they dont end it abruptlyNow, I will focus to talk about the main characters
Sun Woo: Introverted male lead who has a crush with his bff for long time, this drama proves me that PHS really the best choice to potray character who secretly in love with someone, i mean HIS EYES really convey the emotions without speak it loud
Eun Soo: Extroverted female lead who is noisy and tend to (but not always) speaks her mind. At first, i doubt HSH would pull off this character given her cold appearance, but her cold image giving her childish little sister vibe rather than spoiled girl friend that we used to seeing in drama that using friends to lovers trope, so it gives me fresh take on this kind of drama
Side characters: here i won’t talk side characters in detail since this drama focused on the main leads, but side characters are decent, there is no one who overly annoying
Music: while this drama has music theme in it, i dont find any soundtrack here memorable
Rewatch value: i think i would rewatch this soon

realistic and destructive
FInally picking this up after dropped it months ago, and actually i have slightly different view after finish this dramaMonths ago, i thought that the ending is unrealistic, it feels forced happy ending
in fact, after i finished it, it feels like sad ending to me
FL getting back at square one after trying to be tough in 2 prior episodes
but for me, it what makes it realistic
FL already grew up in toxic environment, namely her aunt, she always feels she is never enough of a person and then she met the ML, our manipulative, self-centered, flirtatious guy we wish we never met. So, rather than saying FL doesn't has character development, i would say that she is stick to being herself.
The 19+rating is not just about their explicit content, the story itself is for mature audience, it tells about how destructive it can be if person misinterpret lust with love, and it might give the younger audience the wrong idea.
Lastly, i dont think i would rewatch it, but for someone who plan to watch it, keep in mind this story centered around two broken people, so you might not get ideal result at the end
