It's not always possible to know in advance that you'll like or dislike a drama. It's not fair to expect people…
Reading your replies on all these comments, you seem to have a personal issue with explicit content. While it's true that you can't always guarantee if you'll like a project for what it is, it is certainly always disclosed beforehand the amount of explicit content you can expect. This was rated 21+. I don't understand, if it's such a big deal to you and if you know nudity ruins your viewing experience, why are you even watching it? Even further, this preconceived bias makes you unable to truly evaluate the work based solely on a storytelling standpoint.
Explicit scenes are often overused and unimaginative. This is a valid criticism that deserves considerationMature…
If nude scenes detract from the quality of your viewing experience or if you fail to judge characters/people in context of sexual activity, I think that's a you issue.

Mature individuals recognize the difference between genres and are able to identify the purpose of different scenes according to different contexts, as an example: many nude scenes here are meant to paint the picture of the hedonism of the era and the self indulgence that came with it during a time that was controlled by greed, lust, and power in ways that may seem unconventional in our modern times. To answer your claim of unwillingness to participate in discourse, I would say it gets exhausting to explain to grown ups nuances in media, and one would hope one would broaden their horizons or at least engage in critical discourse (my initial comment was directed towards people who purposefully dramatically rating or review bomb dramas and movies like these because of the nudity and the gore in spite of the multiple obvious warnings and genre markings.) Again, one would think this was all self explanatory.
@the people "misunderstanding" or criticizing the drama because of the nudity: please grow up (or don't and just go watch a fluffy romance with a childhood trope for the millionth time, just research before watching something and acknowledge it when something isn't for you).
What are the ratings like in korea? This rating is so annoying, yet another great crime/thriller drama going underappreciated on here because it's graphic and it has no romance.
