A series I’m glad I didn't skip
I almost let the discouraging reviews keep me from starting this series and I’m so glad I didn’t. Taking a chance on this series turned me into a fan of its two leads, and especially of Book whose acting is an absolute standout.Visually, the show is stunning. The color grading has this soft, dreamlike quality that makes everything feel slightly unreal, as if I’m suspended in the same hazy, uncertain space as the characters. That aesthetic perfectly complements the mystery theme you’re meant to feel disoriented, curious, and pulled along by secrets unfolding beneath the surface.
What really stayed with me is how sincerely romantic this series feels. Both Force and Book’s characters love with the same intensity and loyalty, and you can feel that balance in every interaction: no chasing, just two people choosing each other again and again. Force’s character in particular, radiates this steady, reassuring affection that makes their relationship feel safe, grounded, and deeply cherished. The show is also full of soft, affectionate touches like kisses, hugs, and other displays of affection that make their love feel natural, constant, and completely believable 🥰 Even the OST deepens that emotional pull. Both of their songs are beautifully sung, and Force’s in particular brings me to tears every time I hear it in a scene. Their bond becomes the emotional spine of the mystery, which makes every revelation hit harder.
I genuinely can’t believe some viewers dismissed the show after episode one because they “didn’t understand what was going on.” It’s a mystery series of course you’re not meant to have all the answers immediately.
And that final episode? Beautifully wrapped up.
To me, this series is a truly underrated gem. It’s possibly one of my favorite gmm series. I’m so glad I ignored the early negativity and experienced it for myself. I’m officially a new fan of the two main leads.
