? Something Is Not Right – Beautiful, Bittersweet, and Just a Little Too Rushed

Rating: 8.5/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨☆

First off: visuals, visuals, visuals. All three male leads—Ba U, Hun, and Ha Min—are absolutely gorgeous. 😍🫶 Their soft, boyish charm and natural acting made this short series so easy on the eyes and heart. Add to that a beautifully shot university campus 🎓🍁, excellent cinematography, and a dreamy OST 🎶—and you’ve got a drama that’s emotionally tender and visually poetic.

💖 What I Liked:

The cast’s visuals and performance—especially Ba U’s subtle expressions and Hun’s gentle concern—were really touching. 🎭
Beautiful setting and strong use of natural lighting. The vibe was consistently warm and melancholic. ☀️📷
The soundtrack hit the right emotional notes without being too overpowering. 🎧
Soft tension and emotional pacing between Ba U and Hun felt very real—especially if you’ve ever had a long-time crush on a close friend. 😔💘
Ha Min was a surprisingly compelling character—I wish we got more depth from him! 😶
🌀 What I Disliked:

The plot was extremely thin, dragged over 8 episodes with very little development. 😐
Each episode was too short, and yet they were padded with excessive flashbacks and repeated scenes. ⏪🕒
The confession came way too late—in the final 15 minutes of the last episode! And after that? The main couple barely interacted. 💔
Ha Min's stalking subplot had potential but was left vague and unresolved. ❓
We finally get some payoff, and then... it ends. No epilogue, no couple moments, no closure. 🫠
Still, I’m giving this an 8.5 because of the dreamy atmosphere, beautiful cast, and emotional potential. It had all the ingredients of a really special story, but just needed better pacing and more depth. 🙏

If you’re into soft, slow-burn stories with stunning visuals, it’s definitely worth a watch—but don’t expect a satisfying ending. 🥲
