The male lead does great portraying the troubled, dangerous and mysterious ladykiller who may or may not have actually murdered someone. He is not a good person and is somewhat void of empathy or real emotions. He really brought the character to life, well done! The FL did alright in the beginning but as in a lot of K-dramas, the ladies turn into brainless idiots when it comes to romance. The constant back and forth between saying “I will never like you” and immediately showing up at his rooftop to confirm he’s not a terrible person is annoying to the point that I’m just skipping half the episode. What woman would date the guy that played her best friend and eventually caused her death? After the best friends passing I tried to finish one more episode, but unfortunately it all just got way too cringe.

Redeeming point, the actor that plays the FLs brother is (as always) amazing! Most rounded character with actual range of emotions, brings some much needed lightness with the banter he has with his coworkers (the 2 that don’t hate him).

TL;DR: could have been great if the wildly unrealistic romance was just left out and this had focused more on the background mystery, psychological aspects of the trauma and consequences for their development in each character, and potential current murders
