Worth giving a try

You'll like this drama and relate with it on personal level if you are a college/highschool student with a fucked up and messy love life (which everyone has had at some point atleast). I loved how they integrated the impact of instagram,tiktok and spotify on the lives of the characters cuz its infact true that this shit impacts a lot of us. If you have watched ITSAY and IPYTM, then you can easily tell that they are directed by the same person (the use of different versions of ost's, the crying scenes, complex relationships, characters who need therapy, mixed emotions and the relatableness ofc).

About fou4mod's character it feels like everything in this bl is collateral damage created by him and the funny part is he did all this unintentionally lol. okay i get him, we all have been there, in his shoes, and we may or may not have acted like him so its ok but what he should've done was learn from mistakes, like not go back to chian again even if he begged to him like his life depends on it (that's how you should do it!!!).

About chian (sighs deeply) i tried to understand him and i could but only to some extent so i wont say much 🙄

Bua and baabin were really the victims, i like how they got together at the end, they can truly fix each other ( i hope) and i dont think chian and fou4mod's relationship gonna last until and unless they get some help!


you can watch this drama if you want to relate to your life (make it a bit extra messier version), it might get hard to watch at some point but the ending is okayish (i truly wanted none of them to end together and find their happiness with some body else and move on from this incestuous-love squarish-friendship)

What i liked about the drama:
- the vibe and aesthetics (those were 10/10 for me, very new and fresh)
- the ost (also 10/10 one of the reasons why i watched this drama lol)
- i liked how they used different versions of red flag (the ost) to depict different emotions, it shows the depth of the scenes and gives it more value so ye
- the acting (the actors did a great job and some scenes very really top notch)
- relatable (lol)
- those pretty pretty nails ( it makes me wanna get my nails done aswelllll)

What i didnt like:
- the drama really felt flat in midway and it was hard to keep watching at some points
-they could've handled it better (but they are teenagers so its okay)
-no real growth (all the characters had their messy conclusion which seems like wont last for long and they'll get tangled in some mess like this sooner than we think)
-teenagers self destructing again and again (like fr)
- ending was lowkey rushed, they could've balanced the episode more nicely

It gets a 8.5/10 from me

Sorry for the long reviewwww!!! 😅
