Haven’t been able to enjoy a kbl to this degree for a long time! Good writing, tight pacing, interesting couple dynamics! I love Maru! The guy almost alone carried the show for me! I didn’t catch the supposed cameo though. Could someone tell me when the guys from the first season show up?
Finished it and I’m a bit surprised by the comments bc I personally liked it more than most other kbls. Yes, the story could’ve been a little different but overall it was nice. The actors actually have chemistry and aren’t afraid of intimacy.
So it looks like this got really bad reviews. Is it that bad or is it worth watching?
I wouldn’t consider it worse than the average kbl. In fact, the guys have chemistry and especially Ki Hyun Woo possesses strong charisma and energy. It’s not a masterpiece but it’s worth a watch.
A bit meagre on the plot but the interactions made up for it for the most part. What I like about Taiwanese bl is that they’re not afraid of physical contact. Overall it was cute.
I finished it and now I understand low rating. The editing is atrocious. There were parts that I liked like the pining and I liked that both boys were very flawed (especially Jo Yoo Jae) but otherwise it’s a rather unsatisfying watch. The last episode especially was very rushed and actually unnecessary with all the sudden drama added in. Also, while I loved the catchy main song it was often played at the most depressing parts and kind of didn’t fit the overall vibe of the show which is rather dark-ish and depressing for the most part.
I feel conflicted bc technically it had potential but the execution failed horribly imo. The first 10 ep felt like filler and the rest was weirdly chaotic. The show should’ve been a murder mystery starting with the death and everybody being a suspect with suspenseful flashbacks that would slowly showcase the characters and their motivations and relationships with one another. Unfortunately that wasn’t it at all. The overall pacing was way too slow, the characters unlikable which would be fine if they weren’t boring as well. Nothing and nobody was truly memorable apart from maybe Miss Susie - the only good actress here.
