2nd half really dragged...
first few episodes I was like "man I wonder how this relationship will ever even turn into a romance, let alone naturally." despite their extreme initial "enemies" relationship, they did a great job moving it towards romance. Also the main leads had pretty good chemistry.
It's so hard to remember their names, but basically the 2nd ml(??)-- his facial acting was really good at times, but his hands were always distractingly awkward. And I was very confused what direction they were going with his character. It kept looking like he was looking at the ML's sister with some degree of longing which I don't think he was supposed to lol. And then HIS brother somehow becoming a sympathetic character?? idek man. I guess the point was everyone is complicated and no one is good, but it made the established morals frustrating.
the ML can kill everyone for revenge, but the 2nd ML can't?? sure there were other nuances (like getting civilians involved) but there were points where they're arguing and I'm like "... lowkey they doing the same thing tho" lol.
2nd half the couple's relationship suddenly got boring and felt almost on the backburner. they were together but every conversation was the same--- "I'll always be with you no matter what bla bla." They almost had something interesting with the ML going blind or forgetting her (2nd one is a trope I hate but it would have been interesting), but both of those are pretty much resolved in the same episode.
bro imagine if he was blind for like 3 episodes and somehow managed to still have mad fighting skills. that would have looked so cool! but nah, everything has an easy quick fix for the main couple. at least they had a good ending ig.
meanwhile they did my girl the princess dirtyyyy.... I got way more invested in her story just for it to kind of have a crappy ending. I guess I just wanted this drama to decide if it wanted to be a stupid enemies to lovers plot or actually say something about the human condition, and it just didnt do a good job at trying to do both bc I got whiplash...
