What in the whiplash was that last episode? I hate it, but also really like how twisty and weird it went?
Normally when the ML is in debt, it's always for school, parent's debt, or someone is sick. It's so funny and darkly realistic that the ML was actually a cheater who had to pay alimony and child support after a divorce. That was so funny and unexpected.

There were hints that the narrator Arisa was extremely narcissistic, but I was not expecting it to go that far. That was a crazy unexpected ending. It was both fun and dumb, idk which way I'm leaning more.
What the heck with that ending?So I'm assuming that she stood there just waiting for it to hit her... because…
I feel like it's kinda an open ending. Like did she let it hit her because life had continually dealt her terrible relationships or did she move out of the way and move on? She could have supported the child on her own and Shotaro could've been a great support system as well.
Lackluster plot, but had amazing characters and great casting. The characters had layers to them and the whole cast had great chemistry. I think this had a lot of potential, but fell short. It's definitely still worth a lighthearted watch.
I really liked the concept, but the acting is very iffy. Julia is exceptional, as is Nicholas, but Sang Heon is very awkward. His accent sounds too posh and "fancy" to fit his character and he just seems to be too hyperaware in each scene making his body language and line delivery really stilted. Even compared to filipino shows where the acting tends to be a bit lower quality, he stands out as awkward.
but it was cute until he completely turned into a different person
He was a gentle, sweet, and warm character for 90% of the show. Him acting crazy and abusive like that went against his entire character and made me hate the last few eps. Did the writers forget who their audience was? We were all here for the kind househusband not the typical domineering abusive ML.
Why is everyone in this show late 20s or mid 30s? What casting director went out of their way to cast ONLY fully grown adults?? The youngest high school actor is 27 and the oldest is 34!
The backstory made no sense. The older brother had some severe issues from all the pressure so he frequently assaulted his younger brother. The parents, caring about their reputation, just overlooked it? They didn't separate them or do anything to stop the abuse from happening? After the brother kills himself, the parents then hide the death and place the same pressure that killed their older son onto the younger? The Dad actually hits the younger brother knowing he used to get assaulted all the time? Why is it okay for the mom to get therapy, but not the kids? It's just an ill-written trauma backstory with no nuance.
They didn't even dive into the fact that the ML uses fighting as a way to self-harm. Alice the secret weapon does a way better job with that concept. The ML here doesn't have ptsd, but continues to harm himself in the same way that his brother did to him. Why? Because he loved his brother, because he's punishing himself, or because he feels a sense of control over his life? They just gloss over everyone's reasonings, motives, and speedrun everything.
It feels like they took inspo from weak hero class one, boyhood, and the boxer webtoon. All inspo, no substance.
No one has the right kind of intensity and intimidating presence. These characters need to make the viewers feel scared of them and for them. The characters being innocent looking children doing horrendous things is supposed to add to that level of horror, but the fact that everyone looks thirty is really taking me out.
It's cliche, badly casted, they have all the right components for a good story, but the execution is just poor.
