What I Liked
- dream kiss in episode 1
- sweet moments
- martial arts backdrop
- the bully did apologize

Room For Improvement
- there is a truly awful character who seems to have zero consequences, he should have gone to jail
- really stupid plans, is the team a gang, why can't people just quit?
- two noble idiot/refuse to communicate tropes
- a camera angle blocked kiss

Pas parfait mais ...

Je trouve que la review plus haut a été très sévère et que cette personne devrait avoir une relecture car tout n'est pas exacte ni aussi simpliste qu'elle le dit..
Pour ma part, j'ai passé un bon moment. Quand j'ai vu plus 1h30, je me suis demandée si la découverte des identités allait être longue, frustrante et ennuyeuse. Il s'est avéré que non.
Je ne suis pas fan du format vertical en partie à cause de ma vision j'ai donc eu du mal a visionner et j'ai souvent regardé de nouveau quelques scènes.
Les acteurs jouent bien et sont assez charismatiques.
L'alchimie est bonne entre les leads... et on se demande même si une certaine personne va elle aussi succomber...
Les baisers sont beaux... mais assez soft.

Pour moi donc c'est une série réussie malgré ses défauts.
