I appreciated all the details and dedication to small moments, but the pacing and editing is not great. The timeline switching made me lose some of that curiosity that I would've had if the future hadn't shown us so much already.
I like that the writers put a lot of effort in showing how love is built on lots of small moments, but when the plot is overfilled, it can be a bit much. This would've been better with less episodes. Less side characters and business things, because they didn't carry any emotional weight nor build attachment.
This has to go into the hall of fame for the most heart-wrenching series I've ever watched. It's so beautiful, so well done that I cared for everything. I regretted when the characters regretted and wished constantly for things to be differently.
Ok so I'm dropping this on episode 6. The first 4 episodes were dark, intense, and gritty. I loved the writing, acting, and unique plot. But the celebrity arch started and lost all my interest. It's interesting to see a psycho character within mundane reality, that makes it scary. But the entertainment industry is full of two-faced psychos, that's just normal. The rest of the show is just the battle of different types of psychos.
I would rate the first four episodes and 8.5. It they were a 2.5 hour long movie, it'd be a favorite of mine. But the rest of the show... not so much.
People who hate the FL are the horrible ones, She was constantly abused her whole life and now shes the evil one…
You can enjoy her as a character whilst still thinking she's doing wrong. I'm only half way through, but I really like how her character is written. You don't often get anything but perfect leads. But liking her doesn't justify her actions? A victim can also be a perpetrator. It's not an either or situation.
Even though the plot was inconsistent and rushed through too many unconnected plots, at least it was entertaining.…
The last few episodes just don't make sense. It's dumb, it's over dramatic and it's like they completely forgot the beginning of the show. His dead brother was an afterthought. The friends that believed in him all those years were randomly thrown in at the end. We don't get to see any emotional closure about his ex-girlfriend either. Why was the first half completely different than the second half of the show?
They're acting like the ML can't kill anyone, but those fights in episode 10 absolutely killed people! He shot people with a nail gun and threw dudes out of a moving car. We even see one get ran over. He killed people! Why are they acting like it just didn't happen?
The plot armor was so annoying as well. The ML was stabbed 100s of times, had his back and ribs broken from so many fights. Yet always appears unfazed? Not to mention, the SA scene in the beginning was thrown in just because? You're telling me there was no trauma that followed him around? Why didn't they commit to any of their plots? The ML should be broken beyond belief.
Even though the plot was inconsistent and rushed through too many unconnected plots, at least it was entertaining. But then episode 10 just imploded and what the heck was those last few episodes??
Did you finish watching it? I just finished and I'd love to know what you thought of it. Also I checked your profile…
Sadly, I dropped it :/ I really like the plot, but the low budget made me too disspointed. I kept getting my hopes too high. What do you think of it now that you've finished it? Does it get better?
This could've been a meaningful story with two broken people bonding over their trauma, internalized hatred, and…
It definitely depends on the viewer when it comes to perception. But camera angles, lighting, music, etc can influence how someone views a scene. So angles or framing that is typically used in sexual situations is odd to me to use in the case of SA. I've dropped different movies because of the angles they've used before.
I actually have not seen his work. I've only seen bits and pieces as well as the effect of them afterwards. I don't think it's fair to form solid opinions without having full context, like actually watching them fully, but I still end up forming partial opinions. Like the fact that Ryan Murphy didn't get permission from the victim's families, added sexual scenarios, and dramatized real life crimes. I think it feels different if the crimes are so long ago that the victim's families can no longer be affected by it, but so many of them were blindsided when the shows came out. The amount of thirst edits, people getting tattoos of the actors playing irl serial killers, and parents even dressing their kids as serial killers were insaneee.
I geniunly can't remember where I watched it. I checked the main fansub sites I watch and even checked some of the pirate sites, but couldn't find it? I wonder if it was deleted. If I come across it though, I'll send a link over.
btw I saw that you have Yoo Ah In as your profile pic. he's one of my favorite actors! do you have a favorite movie of his? You can dm me a reply so we don't make the comment section too long if you want.

I don't normally write extremely negative comments. I felt compelled by this one because the directing style felt so odd to me. There is a place for SA stories. They can be done with genuine empathy and nuance. But the directing of this one just reminds me of many other movies where SA scenes are too long, too graphic, and oddly sexualized. It reminds me of Ryan Murphy and how often he takes dark topics and sexualizes them for the sake of doing so, rather than handling the very real crimes that have happened and do happen to real victims every day.
I'm curious to know which threads you're referring to? I tend to write comments on most things I watch, but I don't tend to hate things as viscerally as this one lol. Normally I just complain about things being boring or technical issues that I wish were better.
I wish the drama had focused more on character development and growth rather than romance. The original webtoon was about the FL learning how meaningful hobbies can be, even if they don't lead to better higher paying jobs. The joy and community of the drawing club as well as the very weird ML help the FL to grow. Instead they focused on romance and made this seem more average/blank yn FL. When the point of the webtoon was her growth, the point of the drama is that a hot guy likes her while the side plot is sometimes she stands up for herself.
Also with such a weird ML, showcase that more. It's fun having unconventional fun characters like that.

I can barely find older dramas either. especially early 2000s ones :/
