Got Played by the Hype, and I'm Still Mad About It
Let me start with this: the only reason I watched this was because Boss said it's “spicier than Love Sea.” Babe. I got clickbaited pro max.
The opening scene had me hooked—I was sat, eyes wide, snacks ready. But that was the peak. From there, it just plummeted into chaos, confusion, and cringe. The story? Underwhelming. I physically struggled to sit through the episodes. There was no proper transition, no emotional build-up, and the so-called climax had me staring at the screen like, "wtf did I just watch?"
Also, let’s get one thing straight: NO, there is no parallel world. That was straight-up fanfiction layered onto a mess of a plot. At the core of this story is just a manipulative stalker and an airhead who couldn’t comprehend the assignment—like, sweetie, you’re in danger, not in love!
Phu’s friends? Useless. Cardboard cutouts. They added nothing. The romance? Drier than toast. The NC scenes were supposed to be “hotter”—yeah right, lukewarm at best. I want my time back.
The ONLY redeeming quality? The OST. Absolute banger. Put that on loop and pretend the rest of the show doesn’t exist.
Overall: a masterclass in disappointment. Watch for the soundtrack. Skip literally everything else.
