The story is a bit disappointing..

I got to know this drama due to the viral of clip on my TikTok, so when everyone said that it's an LGBTQ+ drama, I thought that this might be a good starter for GL korean series, follow along like Semantic Error so ngl, I had a high hope over this one, but girl.. The drama only labelled as GL due to a kiss scene of less than 5 min clip in ep 4? And on top of that, it's only a dream??

But other than that, I feel like the drama could be much better. The plot itself were pretty good, but the scene were kinda mixed up here and there, as I was a big fan of scifi myself, couldn't also solve this part lol. The ending is not a big cliffhanger like the one I used to watch, but it still did peak some of the viewer's curiosity (including me), like..
1. Does Jein truly die in the end? Or she managed to survive?
2. What happened to Jena in the end, did she really lost her memories?
3. How about their dad, Taejoon, did he really the one at fault for killing Seulgi's dad? Or is it Jena?

There's a lot of question that we can't stop but wondering, but at least the ending gave a good closure. For the positive side, I couldn't stop praising their acting skill, and the plot itself that really makes me indulge deep in it, until I bingewatching them for 4 days only 😂 If you ask me if it's worth it? Yes, if you're into complex mystery, bully high school drama but if you're into action romantic or far else, then skip.
