Realistic portrayal of modern relationships
***SPOILERS AHEAD***
i dont understand why everyone is so pressed about this show and keep saying its toxic. I understand you would believe it to be toxic if either: 1. you re against friends with benefits relationships, 2. you liked the webtoon more or 3. you forgot the fact that Na Bi is aware that what they have is not an actual serious relationship and is AGREEING with it. The lack of communication they have in some parts of the story is what leads them to stop seeing each other casually and breaking up. And in my opinion that relationship is not toxic, what s toxic is not communicating properly and imagining what the other person is thinking or doing without actually discussing it.
That said, I think this is an amazing portrayal of actual, real modern relationships, I'm sure it s not like that in every country so I guess some people can relate more to it than others. These kinds of relationships are not usually shown on kdramas so it was really refreshing to see an unusual romance story with more raw scenes and realistic/relatable moments
My only complaint is about the SML, i feel like the character lacks depth and they kind of did the actor dirty because he s a really good actor but the character doesnt do him justice
The OST is amazing and i saved most of the songs on my kdrama playlist lol
Even if you think their relationship is toxic
nobody can deny that the chemistry between the ML and the FL is incredible and they did a really good job at portraying their characters
