Spicy, yet no genuine development or info on the leads bond.
I really liked this drama because of its spicy scenes---the episodes and episode duration was cut in half than a regular Korean drama which would have 16 episodes, each an hour long, but the spice was quadrupled, so it was okay in this aspect. However, I don't really see any actual development between Jeonghan and Iljo. I mean, we get a hint at their past, but why in the first episode was Jeonghan so distant to Iljo and just watched Seo Jeongin beat him up like that? It doesn't make sense.I genuinely think that if it was a longer, more fleshed out and detailed drama like the other Korean dramas, this would be a 10/10. However, if you only like spicy scenes and chemistry between two leads, this is a hit for you. But if you're into more a more deep and meaningful storyline, maybe pass on this one.
P.S. I really liked the subtle ominous music at the end of Ep. 2 where they make out for the second time, mostly because of Jeonghan's possessiveness. The music just reminds me of an indoor swimming pool with tiles as walls and that certain cyan or teal type of lighting---I don't know how to describe it but it's just so weird in a good way. If anyone is wondering, it's called "Cyber Ruins" by Athena3.
