THE MESS THAT IS NEVERTHELESS

*I didn’t read the webtoon so this is purely based of the kdrama*

STORY: The plot sounded so good and very different from most dramas but the execution was so boring. I expected so much more but half the time it was just heavy breathing and slow movements. The first few episodes seemed promising but it got repetitive pretty quickly. The main characters literally just went back and fourth the whole time with little to no development. Now, I watch MANY toxic dramas. I watched dramas were the ML is the scum of the earth and terrible person. So it wasn’t the toxicity that was too much for me. It’s the lack of depth. When other ML's are being toxic, there is also sort of 'reason' or 'backstory' which they overcome to love the FL or ML (for BL's) but this drama. There was no depth, and some may argue 'it’s realistic' and playboy can just be a playboy BUT I still think for sake of entertainment they should had a little more depth within the characters motivations. Also, the way this drama went, I personally don’t see it as realistic.

CHARACTERS: Despite the execution of this drama. The characters are what pulled me to this drama every week. Especially the side characters. The side characters were the highlight of this drama. Every single on of them have special place in my heart. The main leads were unlikeable but sort of realistic (They are a lot dumb people in the world). But overall i think the side characters should have gotten WAYYY more Screen time. They were funny, cute and all the side couples literally had me screaming.

CAST: hot hot and hot. The casting was perfect cause i was a simp for all of them. The acting was also good.

MUSIC: Not really memorable. I was too mad at the main couple to pay attention but must not have hit because i usually love OST's

Production/ visuals: The visuals of this drama was stunning, I can tell there was a lot of thought process during the production. The steamy scenes were also beautifully shot. But i expected more since it was marketed as 19+ drama but overall the visuals were well thought out with symbols and colouring which i enjoyed.

OVERALL: The drama was boring and I DO not suggest binging it. HOWEVER, it was SUPER fun to be watching it every week with everyone. Everyone and Their moms were watching this drama which made the experience a bit more enjoyable. Seeing everyone reaction to each weeks episode and Twitter and Tiktok was FUN. Hated or Love the drama it was definitely memorable and probably soon be turned into those 'classics' that every kdrama watcher much watch.
