Existential Crisis With a Side of Confusion.
A shitty pace existential fairytale that accidentally burned out halfway.
✨ THE GOOD (let’s give credit where due):
- Seo In-guk carries the show on his cheekbones alone. The man got some charisma , somehow ?
- Some scenes actually slap you with meaning some grief, love, and mortality wrapped up in a single line.
If you squint, you feel it.
-The OST does overtime. Melancholy piano? Check. Emotional guitar riffs? Double check. At least the music knows what it’s doing.
💤 THE “WHY AM I STILL HERE?” PACKAGE:
- Pacing is a crime. Whole episodes feel like you’re trapped in molasses. Someone call the K-drama police for god sake !
-Tonal whiplash: one moment we’re drowning in philosophy, the next it’s awkward rom-com stereo shit energy.
Who edited this,! two different people on different freaking drugs?
-Half the side characters feel like they wandered in from another show. NPC vibes, delivering lines like they’re lost in a manhwa filler arc.
🤔 THE “MEANING BURIED SOMEWHERE SOME__F***ING__HOW” ENERGY:
-Deep messages exist — about mortality, love, and sacrifice — but you have to shovel through so much fluff it feels like homework.
-Metaphors everywhere, but not all of them or maybe even none actualy land. Sometimes it’s profound, other times it’s just word salad with extra dressing.
💔 THE “I WANTED TO LOVE THIS” DEPARTMENT:
-Could’ve been a haunting f***ing goodshow . Instead, it’s more like a moody Instagram post stretched into 16 episodes.
-When it hits, it really should hits , key word here "SHOULD"… but the in-betweens? Dead air. Like, Doom, buddy, do us a favor and speed this shit up.
🎯 FINAL VERDICT:
"A drama that flirts with greatness but ends up ghosting you with pacing issues. Watch for Seo In-guk’s smirk
(you're a simp btw ) and the occasional existential sucker slap. Skip if you don’t have the patience of a saint or even some taste ."
Best paired with:
☕ Coffee strong enough to keep you awake, tissues for the three genuinely moving scenes, and a fast-forward vibranium button so it sticks around after .
