when i first read the synopsis before watching it, i was actually excited for it. and the first episode is somewhat decent, but what follows is an unexplainable mess. i don’t think even the actors know what the hell is going on.

it truly took EVERYTHING in me to finish it. the plot is SHIT. the chemistry? nonexistent as well. all the kinks & bdsm stuff comes off as SO cringy and just… no. why would they make this? it’s kinda embarrassing in a way.

i also have a HUGE problem with the casting. i understand wanting to make a series about kinks & bdsm.. but why cast teenagers for it? i get that “teens also have sex” but… it felt wrong to watch. one of the boys in the cast is literally 16, in a series mainly revolving around sex. i feel so bad for the actors… GET BETTER AGENTS FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST. they did the best they could with a ridiculous script and extremely awkward scenes. oof.. rough watch.

poor shogun deserves better. how does he only have shit people in his life? he gets out of a hidden relationship, where the ex would never think or care for him, to get forced into a weird playmate relationship where he’s doing things you can easily tell he’s not comfortable with. they’re kinda cute if you forget how everything between them started.

also. why was shogun so determined into getting the music club a budget.. for it to NEVER be mentioned again? it’s all so messy and inconsistent. it honestly amazes me.

overall it’s just messy, with a stupidly confusing plot & weird timelines. never recommending this. not even to my worst enemy
