A Black Mirror episode? Maybe
While i sort of enjoyed some episodes, the rest kind of had me scratching my head. Tempting people so that they do a particular bad thing (the episode where that boy pretends to be rich) or commit a crime is not exactly a "life lesson", its just the human experience so trying to teach a lesson out of it is definitely a choice. And some times it seemed like they were trying to imitate a Black Mirror episode (especially with that whole beauty school episode) but they were not quite sure how to go about it. The series was okay, nothing outstanding about it except from Nanno whom the audience doesn't even know what or where she came from exactly.Was this review helpful to you?

It took me a while to finish this drama. The drama started off a little slow and did not pick up until episode 5 or 6 and by episode 6, it had already found its rhythm. I was ready to throw in the towel multiple times and just sum it up to the fact that the dramas this particular screenwriter writes is just not for me seeing as i did not like Our beloved summer but by the end i actually liked it.The main relationship at first was built mostly on misunderstanding which i think is this writer's MO. The misunderstanding just made the drama drag, i know people have said that the reason KG didn't clear up the misunderstanding was because he did not want his brother to be seen as a burden in anyway but a simple 'I'm taking a little time off for my family so let's try going out once that is all settled' would have gone a long way but of course how else the story be go on once there's no misunderstanding. But after that was done with they actually had a nice relationship.
Now for the second couple i know a lot of people wanted them to end up together but i agree with the way their relationship was handled. Si Jun had to do a lot of growing up and Ju A had to be in a relationship where she was just as important as her partner. If they had gotten back together they would have fallen into their old ways where Si Jun's needs and wants came before hers. So that ending for them was perfect.
I really liked the brothers' relationship. Was it perfect? No. They were constantly avoiding important discussions because they were scared of the outcome and also putting each other above themselves which sometimes is a good thing. While their relationship was nice, a simple conversation would have gone a long way. I also liked the way the writer wrote about grief. Like sure things seem like they are the same and other people move on but the people left behind will never be the same.
All in all, it was actually a good drama.

I think season 2 was left upended in the hopes that they would probably make a season 3 if the chance arises, that's also why it was kind of unsatisfying. I still enjoyed, quite literally binged it in one sitting. While the emotions were really intense, they struggled with the story line a little bit.The fight scenes were really intense in this one. Like I was really worried about them just walking off after every battle. They needed to check themselves into a clinic since they were worried about going to a hospital or something, there had to have been internal bleeding at some. Gettiny hit on the head with a metal pipe is no joke and he just walked it off. Insane!!
Also, they cut a huge chunk of the webtoon out. There was a particular character who was like really strong but unproblematic and we didn't even get to see him.
Hopefully, they do the next season more justice and it doesn't just turn to another netflix cash cow.
