IS IT WORTH WATCHING OR NOT??!! A real review from a non biased person
First of all there are just 2 episodes out for now but it caused a huge argument whether it’s worth the watch or not.• the first episode:
- it was an introduction and did a great job doing it. so it was a bit boring and slow paced but escalated as it went towards the end & went super interesting and entertaining to ep 2
• the second episode:
- as I said it was entertaining from the start of this ep. It had so many intriguing scenes.
• general thought: criticism and the bad side of it..
- my issue was with the direction.. the camerawork was just putting me off so bad it was giving me vertigo and did NOT suit the drama I know it means to be a guffy quirky drama but it did not serve it justice, those transitions were so so unnecessary.
- it was so unhinged from time to time, like what do you mean a man was hanging into a car and all the people were standing there videotaping it??? Huh??? Like we know “goofy” but make it realistic
- also the ml and his friend were such embarrassments, like if you’ve been in military for a maximum 2 weeks you’ll still be able to use a gun, why were they just running and whining??? Like pleaseee
- the CGI was shit I’m sorry, I’m sure they had a decent budget for it but it didn’t serve it right. But not terrible
• general thought: the good side of it..
- it has such a fresh and unique structure in terms of storytelling and pacing and character introduction etc..
- the mixture of comedy and thriller was just great and fit so well it was hilarious and kinda chaotic, I wish they would’ve made it realistic tho..
- the acting was so good, jisoo’s acting was surprisingly great and natural but I hope she wouldn’t scream as much as she does..
- the comedic musics in the intense scenes kinda put me off but it did blend well tho.
- the cinematography was immaculate also there were
some shots that each individually needed a Oscar
- also jisoo’s voice is raspy and deep her voice is different from the stereotypical Korean actress voices her voice is unique and rare just like seo yeji.. people have not gotten used to it they will eventually and I do tend to love her voice honestly.
“Those are my initial thoughts and opinions till now, it’s worth a watch, you either love it or don’t like it”
I HOPE IT GETS BETTER AS IT RELEASES AND DO NOT END UP DISAPPOINTING.

THIS JUST HEALED SOMETHING IN ME :’)
• did it really portray properly what it had intended to ??? YES.— the acting, everyone’s acting is great HONESTLY. the only complaints i see is about jisoo’s acting and if you actually see the drama without the intention of hating jisoo or becoming a critic you’ll see everyone is just hating and they’re either being paid by a “certain” organization OR are just bitter and jealous because jisoo CARRIED this whole drama on her back — she acted cringe in the virtual simulation because it was intentional (go nag the director hos) and the story needed that. she was natural, expressive and PERFECT for the genre but also of course still new to the genre she’ll get WAYYY better her future is clear in kdramaland.
— the OSTs were so good and viral hungry. every song fitted the series and the whole story and plot entirely. I’ll listen to most of them regularly.
— the plot was so interesting it was fresh, ambitious collected and everything was working so good together. i was living for the different povs of the main leads. there was no unnecessary drama, love triangles, “distended to be together since they were kids” plot, dumb/extra characters every character served a purpose with the utmost depth. i loved the emotional build up between the mains. it could be slow paced at times but it was what the storyline needed. it delivers its message perfectly. “past relationships could scar and scare us for the longest, but it’s okay to start again whenever it feels right with the right person without worrying about whatever the future might hold”
— the cameos, i liked it so much. it was so amusing and refreshing to see all those bit parts with some being very critical to the storyline and fl’s development. I NEED JISOO AND SEO KANG JOON IN A DRAMA RIGHT NOWWWWW !! their chemistry was everything
— the mains relationship were so well portrayed and well thought out. it felt so natural everything about it. the slow burn, pacing of it, confession, hesitation, suspension, misunderstandings and the actual dating arc etc. PERFECTION
it definitely COULD have been PERFECT but it’s still beyond decent and it’s probably one of the best 2026 kdramas AND couple. i loved the drama. Give it a try and don’t listen to no hater.
also kyungnam is such a man. a whole walking green flag i miss them already .. jisoo needs to pick up those casting calls mama.
