Boring

Usually I manage to binge short cdramas but not this one. It took me a long time to complete and there were several times when I fell asleep or just stopped paying attention. The premise was ok but too confusing. Too many characters which isn't unusual for cdramas but the characters didn't have any special traits to make them memorable. I won't even be able to relay the plot to someone because I don't know what exactly were the positions of several of those characters.

Besides the story being terrible, there was no chemistry between the leads. There is very little romance. There is a cliched scene where they MUST be together. Lol. Why do cdramas use this so often? Are you incapable of developing romance between your characters?

The music (both intro and outro) is very slow and depressing and I got a bit tired listening fo it.

Other than the leads being looking and there being some decent action, nothing really hooked me. There was just brief moments towards the end that made me a little excited but that sizzled out fast.

There are better mini dramas, just skip this one.
