The series scenario ran itself into so many frustrating circles...

This BL series features the romance between Little Jane, a somewhat naive university student with a supposedly strong set of values and Big Jane, an older student who makes muddy deals with people. They both are at the antipodes of each other in terms of morale and lifestyle, but still their attraction for each other is undeniable.

On paper, that sounds good but in reality...This series was such a disappointment to me. The only thing I might have truly enjoyed from beginning to end is the iconic song "You're a red flag but I'm colourblind..." used in the drama.

The series scenario ran itself into so many frustrating circles....A loop of Little Jane not trusting then trusting Big Jane...If that narrative was interesting at first, especially when the hints of dark deals with a fantasy succubus elements were present, it grew old pretty fast...I did finally accept that the show was not going in the direction that I wanted regarding dark fantasy twist but I really disliked the way the relationship was stalling all along.

The series could definitely have been cut in half in terms of duration time and the last arc with the absurd combination of tropes, was the last nail on the coffin of what could have been the show.

What's remaining is good chemistry, some hot scenes and a greyish relationship that would have benefited from a stronger script and some extensive editing.

I would not recommend this to people as the writing really annoyed me but I must admit if you like dark relationships, you might want to take a look at it and make your own opinion on it. It just requires a lot of patience and tolerance with the characters writing and plot points.
