Brilliant Concept, Great Start - Ending "demands" S2
When this drama was first announced, I was instantly intrigued by its bold, original concept - the idea of physically seeing someone's "S-Line" was like a marker of power or influence had so much potential. And the show starts strong. Each episode adds new layers through intriguing characters and mysterious events, all while staying rooted in the core story of Sin Hyeon Hop (Arin) and Detective Han Ji Uk (Lee Soo Hyuk), as they unravel the truth behind the S-Line phenomenon.What really stood out was the way each episode tackled a new case, all connected by a subtle thread of social commentary. The ability to see someone’s S-Line felt symbolic—representing privilege, leverage, and the consequences of having access to hidden truths. It raises an interesting moral question for the viewer: if such a thing existed in real life, would it lead to progress or pure chaos?
Up until Episode 5, the show delivers on all fronts: mystery, pacing, acting, music. But unfortunately, Episode 6 stumbles just when answers are most needed. The supernatural twist isn't properly explained, leaving too many loose ends: Who/What is the creator of S-Line and the glasses? What’s the true motive? Instead of answers, we’re left with speculation.
That said, the short format, strong performances, and thought-provoking premise make S-Line worth watching ONLY IF a Season 2 is confirmed. As a standalone, it’s frustratingly incomplete, but with a continuation, it has the potential to become a truly standout series.

captivating, interesting, WILL keep you seated
bro im TELLING you kdramas with 6 episodes or 8 are always the best. Short kdramas give you just enough and leave you wanting more, its so frustrating!!!the ending made it seem like there’s going to be a season 2 (i certainly hope so).
everything was just so good. i have nothing to complain about, it was interesting and entertaining and every episode had me curious and awaiting the next episode. i’m so sad a kdrama with this much of an interesting plot might be discontinued. although there isn’t much for them to do in season 2 since every conflict is basically finished, i really did wish we got to see the aftermath a bit more.
really good kdrama! i was invested!!

What the hell is up with this story
The ending was so fucking unexpected, left me with way too many question marks.The beginning of the story was pretty promising to watch, the middle was still decent, but the ending was fucking terrible. What the fuck was the point of doing that? How the hell did that line appear, who the fuck created it, and why was it that only one person could see it at first? So many fucking questions.

it should've been a movie
Idea is great, exacution not so much. Is it worth 5 hours of watching? NO. So skip this one.There are sooo many "empty walk" in it. ex. Who needs to watch 3 minutes of female walking thru classroms? Nobody.
It's good that it's not predictable about who's culpit. If it was the movie it would be better cuz they would have to remove all of that empty walk.
Mostly boring.
my review should be longer so .. _________________________________________________________________________________ here it is

A short and easy watch
It's just 6 episodes long so the story is not dragged out. There was some comedy, some mystery, friendship...Lee Soo Hyuk is his usual self. I enjoyed Arin in Alchemy of souls and she did a good job here as well.
Overall it was okay, just the ending a bit weird, but it didn't ruin the show for me.

Brisk with room for more
The concept of the series revolves around the different type of sexual relations, from the positive to the heinous crimes that human beings engage in along with a supernatural twist, the fantasy aspect of which comes to a full boil that leaves the possibilities of more story to be told to explore the lore, and the interpersonal impact on the world after the events of the final episode.The entity that masterminded the events to unfold is fascinating with the further powerset they have that is revealed. The series kinda waffles between sex positivity and slut shaming the detective for humor. I like that they showed Hyeon Hop getting to experience safe, consensual sex, with someone her own age without exploitative scenes. I do hope there will be another season, but the parent channel seems to often end shows this way and I haven't seen second seasons happening yet.

Interesting until it wasn’t
First four episodes were interesting. That’s what gets most people to keep watching. The scene at the motel was disturbing.. was she having s*x w a dying/ dead man? How did he die.. I have no idea.. last episode was terrible. They suddenly entered a paranormal world- offering to kill human sacrifice , FL had to die so the world could see what she could see. NonsensicalIt’s short, only 6 eps. Good thing;) kinda sad what happened to the first bf she ever had. Highly not recommended to watch. Go to Cdramas instead- The Prisoner of Beauty is an excellent watch!

Too many red lines TOO little S*x
The premise of the story seemed quite interesting to be honest. The first few episodes were like WOW can’t wait to see where the story goes and then it went and it went and it went to… SHIT.A potentially great story that never delivers. If you tell me that the ML has so many lines, i want to see the proof hehehehe all he did was work and drive everywhere, how, where and with who did he acquire those lines??? that was my main question and not because I’m being naughty, but that’s the freaking name of the series. The two mains had chemistry and that wasn’t explored. What a shame!!! When I read the comments where viewers were ripping apart that last episode I honestly thought that they were exaggerating, but to my surprise those mean spirited comments fell short of how bad the ending was. That last episode was EPIC and should receive an award. I don’t think I’ve seen anything like it and, to be honest, I’ve seen a good share of cheese terrible endings, but this one is on a category of its own. I applaud the actors for shooting it without dropping out of the project. When I think about it can’t stop laughing i’m still trying to recover from whatever that was HAHAHAHAHAHA

started off as a potential peak drama but fell off
the drama started off so well. SO WELL. the story was so intriguing and overall interesting. The first five episode were absolutely amazing, GREAT but they fell off with the sixth episode. Also the teacher being the opp wasn’t even a surprise as those who have watched the drama would understand. the first few episodes had great writing and production, so much so that it was worth waiting for the episodes to come out but they kinda ended the drama on a ‘cliche’ typa shit on the last episode. It seemed like they just kind of wrote the ending on a whim or got a thirteen year old to write it. Overall it was good but the last episode really disappointed me and I feel like the last episode is swaying me from actually appreciating the episodes throughout but it is what it is. :)Was this review helpful to you?

Just watch eps 1-5 if u want to enjoy it
THE RATING OF 8 FOR THIS SHOW EXCLUDES THE LAST EPSIODEI was honestly really enjoying S-Line and was confused to how it has such a low rating. You are able to predict who was the one giving out the glasses, but you will NOT expect the ending. The attempt of turning this show into a Midsommar wanna fiasco completely destroyed everything the show had going for it.

A Brilliantly Bold Take on Intimacy and Connection
The concept of "S Line" is absolutely amazing. I’ve never seen an idea like this anywhere else, and it feels really unique and interesting. It’s fascinating to imagine a world where you could see a red line above people’s heads showing who they’ve had sexual relations with. This idea shows how intimacy can be both good and life-saving—helping someone out of a difficult situation—or terrifying and overwhelming, like in cases of betrayal or judgment. At the same time, it shows that people who have multiple relationships without hurting anyone shouldn’t be judged, and even someone with no experience at all might face scrutiny.The creators did an incredible job. The final episode, especially the part that felt like a theatrical performance, was executed beautifully and was awesome.
For the Rewatch Value, I gave it a 1. In my opinion, one full watch is enough for any series, no matter how good or bad it is. I rarely feel the need to rewatch them.

Quirky
This is not for everyone, obviously. You'll know by the end of that first episode if you'll like the main story.Once into second episode I was gripped by the tension and story as it played out.
The problem for me was after the main story fed into the final resolution things fell a bit short of satisfying, and left much to be explained. That ending or final resolution doesn't really fit what comes before. The meat of the series is a good supernatural mystery/detective show, but the ending feels like something from a different supernatural horror movie.
I don't feel cheated and am glad I watched those first 5.5 episodes.
So, if you decide to watch be forewarned.
