Promising start, but loses its impact
5.5/10. I think this series had a strong and promising beginning, but it eventually fell flat for me. My main issues were the editing and the way the show tried to balance the police investigation with the romance. Unfortunately, these two elements didn’t blend well, and it weakened the overall impact of the story.The main premise was interesting, and the acting was decent at best, with some stronger moments here and there. I do wish we had seen more depth and background for the friend group, because I never felt fully invested in most of them—except maybe Jay, who stood out a bit more.
The biggest highlight of the series was definitely JoongDunk’s chemistry, along with the OST, which helped carry some emotional moments. Those elements made the show more enjoyable despite its flaws.
I’m glad it was available on Netflix, otherwise I probably wouldn’t have discovered it. Hopefully, this is a step toward making more BL series accessible on major international streaming platforms, giving them the wider audience they deserve.
