Writing this review after watching 10 episodes, so maybe it’s still too early to judge the entire drama, but I honestly can’t ignore the fact that the ML is basically harassing the FL at this point.

Please, we’re living in 2026. I understand that some fictional storylines involve forced proximity, possessiveness, or even a certain level of forceful romance, and sometimes those tropes can be entertaining when written well. But there’s a difference between a complicated, intense romance and a female lead being repeatedly pushed into situations that clearly traumatize her.

What bothers me most is that her fear and discomfort seem to be treated as part of the romantic tension rather than something that deserves to be taken seriously. A woman being strong doesn’t mean she should have to endure harassment to prove her strength. Being a strong FL doesn’t mean she can’t be vulnerable, traumatized, or genuinely afraid of the person pursuing her.

And honestly, persistence doesn’t automatically become romantic just because the ML is handsome or eventually develops feelings for her. Attraction cannot magically erase the impact of someone’s actions, and a character’s feelings shouldn’t be used to excuse behaviour that crosses boundaries.

I don’t mind morally grey MLs or dark romance, but the writing needs to understand the difference between portraying problematic behaviour and romanticizing it. If the drama wants us to root for this couple, I need to see genuine character development, accountability, and meaningful changes in how he treats her not simply expect the FL to get over everything because he’s the male lead.
