50mins per episode was not needed
Imagine the episodes being THAT long with ZERO character development. It’s the year 2025 this series came out in 2022 I’ve been seeing the cast of this series all over my timelines with snippets of the show. I actually started the first episode in 2023 and I couldn’t get through 10mins. So we’re back again February 2025 I’m seeing them on my timeline again, and I’m like you really don’t need to watch it you already know it’s gonna suck. But did I listen this time? Nope.I could not believe that that lame ass story line stretched for TWELVE EPISODES and 45-50mins long! I watched EVERY episode on x2 speed because no way I was gonna watch it on normal speed.
Where was the character development? What kind of toxic controlling men are these? Was it because the Hias were older with younger bfs they needed to make them seem “more mature?” Good lord! Well that’s not how it came across. And also, did we forget that ADULTS communicate?? Like ADULTS have a brain that allows us to verbalize words to put together sentences that makes sense.
I felt confused most of the show, nothing was explained. Why was Lian cold and then as soon as Kuea called it quits he changed, it was so weird. Also side couples!Syn and Nuer, Nuer came in liking Kuea it was evident, then they do a slow mo scene with him and Syn then his interests change, and Syn, because he clearly liked him from jump didn’t even question how he did that. However I will say that other than that, their relationship was the healthiest. Then Yi and Dao, when they did the flashback of WHY Yi acted the way he did my jaw dropped in utter “you’ve got to be fricking kidding me” like THAT was the reason?! Attacked by a dog (clearly not viciously because he has no scars) lost a little memory and that’s the reason???? I was annoyed. Their story dragged on for days and made no sense at all. When all Yi needed to do was COMMUNICATE.
Anyways, if you actually care about a storyline making sense, then don’t waste your time watching this. If you care about LOTS OF KISSING as a replacement for explanations and communication then go ahead and watch.

Perfect
I thoroughly enjoyed this series! I loved the “slow burn” effect it had with the ML characters. I loved how the story unfolded. The only thing I would have wanted was more of Qian and Li Li’s story. I think their characters deserved that depth. All in all great watch and I’d watch it again!Was this review helpful to you?
