Eye contact- a catastrophe in slow motion
I saw the low ratings but thought I’d still give it a try. Unfortunately, the whole series turned out to be a mess.
- It was packed with clichés: popular male lead–nerdy male lead, hate-to-love, love triangle, rich kid pretending to be poor, drunk sex leading to early love or a first kiss between the male leads—everything was conveniently slotted in with no real build-up.
- The violence and rape/confinement scenes were not only disturbing but also frustratingly glossed over, without being properly addressed or given the gravity they deserved.
- The relationship between the first main lead couple was toxic at best. Sun constantly manipulated his way out of situations, including cheating, by falling ill and guilt-tripping his partner—major deal breaker.
- The high school couple felt like unnecessary filler. Their story had no proper closure, and the dark "romance" added for the unexpected third pair was just appalling.
- And to top it all off—they ended the whole thing on a cliffhanger. Possibly the worst kind of ending for a show this chaotic.
What I can commend, even if just a little:
- The GL couple were kinda cute.
- The visuals were nice.
- The cast did well acting out their roles—even if the script didn’t support them.
Conclusion:
Watch at your own risk.
