This show had potential, and I really liked the first few episodes, but the flaws became hard to ignore. Half the time it felt like the trio were on a casual road trip instead of running for their lives. Neo was too cheerful, Shin was constantly needy, and the villains were surprisingly reckless. One villain got strangled in a barber shop, even though he was supposed to be powerful, and the second villain was taken out by Mae out of nowhere. The guards, the hideout, the logic—none of it added up.

The dragged-out love triangle between Neo, Shin, and Miw also became too repetitive. I didn’t mind their shared history, but I wanted it resolved sooner. Shin needing constant reassurance got irritating, and Neo claiming he loved both while clearly treating Miw differently just made things messy.

I originally watched this for Joss, but I ended up staying because of Miw. She was the heart of the show—strong, grounded, and the only one who actually had meaningful growth. She carried real trauma yet stayed level-headed, and she was the only character who made decisions based on logic instead of emotions. Miw saved Neo twice, stood up for herself, and never chased after anyone for validation. She was blunt, brave, and emotionally mature in a way the others weren’t. What I loved most was that she knew her own worth; she didn’t cling to Neo, didn’t compete with Shin, and never let anyone define her. By the end, when she finally chose her own happiness, it felt earned and genuine—she completely carried the show for me.
