PROBABLY THE WORST SHOW WITH THE BEST CAST!!!

I'm really sorry Sanha, Chuu, Junghoo and Arin... But this show was probably one of the worst shows I've watched and honestly it felt like a ragebait. Forget about comfort show, I'd watch this to curse at others. But first let me just start with the good thing I have to say about this show.

For a matter of fact, I loved the acting. and some of it's comedy made me laugh too. This was Sanha's first time as the main ml because he had been ml before but as a side ml and he did a fantastic job being Yunjae and making me angry even though I love him and Chuu too... My girly is an angel irl but portrayed Minju perfectly. Junghoo was my comic relief and made me sad too with his acting and Arin was really good at acting even if she might've cringed at her own acting because she had to play "a girly girl" where the girl has to do aegyo and shake her shoulders to feel like she's a girl in the scriptwriter's eyes but, apart from the bad one-dimensional writing of her character, Jieun, Arin did a pretty good job bringing the character to life.

But this show overall was both homophobic and mysogynistic as well as misandrist. Yunjae didn't even like Jieun for herself, he just liked the fact that she was a woman. He was a real red flag who had no boundaries and in my opinion, his poorly written character was an insult to real men. I already talked about Jieun just being a character who is like how a man would fantasize women to be like coz she was submissive, did not have a backbone and would cry all the time-- exactly how a mysogynist would like to decribe a woman of his dreams. Minju too was no different, portraying women as man-stealer and jealous as well as a seductress who's evil but wasn't it Yunjae who let everything happen one after the other just because he can't say no, has no boundaries and even lets his own girlfriend get insulted by Minju? The only chill character was Jihun but that's just Jieun if she were a man in the director/ scriptwriter's eyes. He's no different.

It's like the scriptwriter or the director was a misanthropist. They hated people in general. I'm really sorry if it sounds like a hate comment but I can't defend it in any way...
