Yikes. A very messy story.
Love Phobia aired alongside the Netflix giant Boyfriend in Demand. It stood no chance. Why compare the two? Because both feature AI/virtual boyfriends as their initial hook. Unfortunately, this show is such a mess that there’s no need to compare them.
Like any normal viewer, I initially thought this was a semi-serious romance with a touch of comedy. However, Love Phobia proved me dead wrong. The real story hidden behind the scenes involving everyone connected to the mother is far worse. What the writers pulled here blew my mind with how awful it was. Motives were shaky at best and comically bad at worst.
For what it’s worth, I did quite enjoy the romance between the main lead and the female lead when it was the primary focus. I also liked the cheerful young female coworker. However, the overall story is so bad it overshadows any positives about the show. Save yourself eight hours and avoid it at all costs.
