Less wholesome than expected...
While this show was definitely entertaining, it lacked the emotional depth I had expected from it. It was listed under BL, Romance, & Fantasy on Viki, so I was not expecting it to be primarily a comedy. That would not have been a problem, however, if any of the characters had possessed some depth of emotion or relationship development. Instead, I was as caught off guard by the ultimate conclusion of this story as the MC himself & confused by its abruptness. Maybe it's my fault. I just wanted more.Was this review helpful to you?
Underdeveloped plot, but the cast tried really hard.
This show could have been amazing, but it was limited by time constraints & a busy plot. It simply tried to do far too much, which led to it accomplishing very little. Time that should have been spent developing the pairing's relationship was squandered on a useless side plot about the guy in the friend group's unrequited crush instead & his interference in the fledgling relationship between the romantic leads wasted still more valuable time.The saving grace that made this show bearable was the cast. They tried so hard & their talent is so obvious. Jung Shin Hye is so beautiful & Moonbin is just so endearing.

Twisted. Perverse. Perfection.
Some of these scenes were so hard to watch, but I can't remember ever being this invested in a show before. I need part 2 now, not next month.The darkness in this series & the way the darkness in these people wrap around one another, tying them infinitely together, is so sinister. Some are tied together by the darkness of evil, others by the darkness of justice.
I wish I was the kind of person capable of breaking down characters, plots, concepts, & psychology intelligently, so I could explain exactly what this show is & what it does to my heart & mind.
