A multiverse of madness (and cute boys)

I enjoyed this quite a lot. BossNoel are incredible together, and their chemistry is just stellar. The second lead couple, JinWim (or is it WimJin?), was also really heartwarming to watch.

The multiverse premise was fascinating, and I loved seeing the various versions of Cirrus and Phukan in the different universes. I still don’t quite understand the role of dark Cirrus, but I’m okay with that; it allows my imagination to explore his possible motives and goals.

Jin’s powers were cool, too. The idea that he can listen to people's thoughts until he forms a strong enough connection to dampen them was really sweet. I’m glad Jin and Wim had a happy ending.

Now, I’m not trying to overlook the fact that Cirrus is a stalker. Don’t get me wrong; he’s very problematic, and if this were reality, I would be screaming at Phukan to run for the hills. However, this is fiction, and I really like BossNoel as a couple, so I chose to temporarily ignore those red flags and just enjoy the drama.

If you’re like me and can sometimes disassociate from reality, I think you might enjoy this drama as well. Overall, it’s not a bad series – just slightly questionable.

Last but not least, the OST. "Parallel" might be one of my favourite soundtracks yet. It was an instant addition to my playlist because it’s so addictive to listen to!
