Red Flags, Crime, Romance, and Way Too Much Eye Candy

I love that Ash went straight into the romance aspect from the first two episodes. There was no dragging things out, and that kiss? FIRE. The chemistry between the leads is already so good, and I’m really happy that they’re not taking forever to get to the romance, especially since the series only has 9 episodes. There’s really no time for endless will-they-won’t-they moments, misunderstandings, and unnecessary slow burns. I’d rather have them get straight into the relationship and actually give us enough time to see it develop alongside the main plot.

Speaking of the plot, I’m really interested in how they’re combining romance with a crime thriller. It makes the story more exciting because there’s obviously more going on beyond their relationship. I’m especially curious about the CEO (I honestly still have a hard time pronouncing his name) because from the clips, it seems like he might be connected to a syndicate or something bigger. I have no idea how this is going to end, especially with the other main lead being a police officer, but I’m crossing my fingers for a happy ending!

I also love the red-flag vibes of both of them, especially the CEO. Like, sir, you really just cannot help yourself, can you? There’s something so entertaining about watching two questionable people get involved with each other while there’s an actual crime plot happening in the background.

But honestly, the biggest highlight of this series is HOW GOOD-LOOKING THE ENTIRE CAST IS. The main leads, the supporting characters. Everyone is a feast for the eyes. It feels like they deliberately gathered every good-looking person they could find and put them in one series.

The only thing I’m not really a fan of is how some scenes or maybe it’s the editing/video quality make the series look a little too AI-generated. Even the male leads look so unreal that I literally had to search them up because I was wondering if they were actually real actors or just AI-generated characters. They have that same unreal, overly-perfect look you see in those AI short videos.

Overall, I’m really enjoying Ash so far. The romance is already giving, the crime-thriller element makes the story interesting, the characters are walking red flags, and the cast is ridiculously attractive. I’m definitely curious to see where they take the story, especially with only 9 episodes. Hopefully they keep the pacing like this, give us more of that chemistry, and most importantly… PLEASE LET THEM HAVE A HAPPY ENDING. 🙏
