What a FANTASTIC disappointment
What happened? Seriously, what happened?? That's what I kept asking myself as I watched this drama every week. HIStory 3 gave us Trapped and Make Our Days Count, two beautiful and compelling dramas. I couldn't WAIT to see how HIStory 4 would top it. And then we got.... this?!
The plot was abysmal. Seriously, just so bad. If you're looking for progressive LGBT content stay away from this one, because I assure you there is none to be found. Apart from having some really regressive BL tropes and plot points, the overarching story was just... not interesting, and even downright cringy. It's hard to say who the main couple was because I feel that both couples got fairly equal attention, but neither of them was watchable. I also found half of the characters to just be genuinely unlikable. Like, legitimately, when they were on screen I hated every second of it and wanted to look away.
Alright, now that that's out of the way, let's talk incest. If incest is a hard no for you, skip this one. If incest is a soft no for you, skip this one. And even if you LIKE incest, skip this one. Maybe it's just me, but I personally think that if you're going to ship an incest pairing, the parents need to be out of the picture or at least ignorant of what's happening. But the parents in this drama were so ALIVE AND INVOLVED, it was actually really upsetting.
As for steam and sexual content, it's not great. There are a handful of kisses and maybe one make-out scene, but most of them were really meh for me, if not downright unwatchable. The only thing that kept me going each week was the promise of the tolerable couple getting down and dirty on screen, and honestly? I can now say it wasn't worth it and I'd rather have my time back.
Overall, I wouldn't recommend this drama to anyone unless you're really really desperate and you've watched everything else out there.
