Loved it!
I really enjoyed watching this series and thought it was a lot of fun. It's definitely campy, which might not appeal to some viewers. If you don't enjoy the first two episodes, it's probably not for you. The acting and story were good, and I enjoyed the humor that was interspersed throughout. I also liked the music and thought it fit the scenes well.Was this review helpful to you?
I liked the premise of the story and the OST
This is my first Korean BL. I liked the premise of the story and the OST - toxic and dark. I liked the opening sequence and let it play through in all 10 episodes because it really fit the theme of the show. I liked that each episode was between 20 to 30 minutes, so it moved along fairly quickly (although there were a couple of places I thought about fast forwarding). For a BL, the acting was pretty good and there were some outstanding moments. I thought Kim Yoon Sik was good most of the time and would be interested in watching him in the future. Also, I thought Seo Han Gyeol did an outstanding job at the end of episode 8 in her shocking reveal. There were two detractors: First, I did not find the character, Lee Chae Ha, appealing in anyway. I think it was his hairstyle because it made him look like a gawky 12 year old boy. Second, the male leads didn't look like they enjoyed kissing each other, so it was hard to stay in the story when that happened. Compared to other BLs I've watched recently, it was good.Was this review helpful to you?
Fast Paced and Action Packed
I enjoyed the movie and would recommend it. It was really fast paced, and I had to slow it down to .75 speed and occasionally back up to catch everything. The acting was good and so were the fight scenes. Most of the time, the CGI was good, but not when it came to the monster. Don't sign off when the credits start rolling because there are two more scenes after the credits and both of them are separated by credits. Stay to the end.Was this review helpful to you?
Watch it!
I don't watch many BL dramas, but this one has an interesting plot line that keeps you guessing about what's going on. I was hooked just minutes into the first episode and couldn't wait to watch the next one. The final episode was the best! All of the actors did a decent job, but the actor portraying Alan was really good as a mentally disturbed patient.The only drawback was how slow the pacing was. It was frustrating, so I watched most of it at 1.5 speed and didn't have any issues with reading the subtitles and following what was going on.

Great Story and Acting
This series has a great story that just kept getting better with each episode. To be honest, the first episode didn't grab me, but by the middle of the second, I was hooked. All of the actors did a great job portraying their characters and making them believable. There were a number of key characters, and their backstories were slowly revealed to help the viewer understand why they made the choices they did. Rather than it being a story about villains getting their just desserts, it was a story about well-intentioned people making choices or becoming obsessed with something that led them down the dark path.Was this review helpful to you?
