Who needs enemies tbh
Spoilers Below because I am enraged and IDGAF
Honestly this had potential, but once we started to see the most toxic friends in any drama I've watched really start ruining the entire relationship I just got disappointed and then enraged.
Like the leads would've been a couple a year earlier if that cousin hadn't stuck her nose in. Then after traumatising Jin, she proceeds to make a club dedicated to ruining their relationship before it even started. I'm not sure how their friends convinced themselves they were helping. They drugged Bbomb, lied every time they spoke to either lead, and manipulated them both constantly. Like every interaction they had was calculated for months. They even got Mark to pretend to be interested in Jin FOR WHY? All it did was erode the trust that was building between them. Jin is a known doormat and people pleaser, so they all know he's going to do whatever that dude asks, because he's his senior and pushy as hell. They engineer conflict and cause so much emotional trauma. IF THEY JUST LEFT THEM THE HELL ALONE everything would've been okay. If the so called friends hadn't filled them with so much mistrust and fear, Jin would've felt comfortable so much sooner.
I feel bad for the actor for Song at this point. The whole way through I was trying to shake my hatred of his face after TharnType, but he did himself no favours here, only cemented himself further as a secondary character who can't be trusted. Only reason I trusted him in Love Stage was because I didn't recognise him at first.
This was a solid 6/7 out of 10 for the first few episodes but my rage at the friends knocked it right down to a generous 4. I didn't even want to keep watching by ep8 because I hated them all so much, but I am compelled to finish all dramas.
WHY did everyone constantly talk about what a player Jin was? I saw absolutely no evidence of this. When he was single he flirted with folks, but when in a relationship he was totally loyal (just a slow communicator, not a bad one, he was honest and clear, even when he was confused). If everybody wasn't calling him trash every few seconds things would've gone smoothly.
Also WHO PUT THE CONDOM IN BBOMBS POCKET YOU ABSOLUTE ASSHOLES?!
Good: The two leads if you isolate them from everyone else. The music was fine.
Bad: Every other person on screen. Toxic and dangerous as hell. Unfortunately I can't set a score of zero for rewatch value, so it gets a 1. I didn't even want to finish it, never mind watch it again.
