this is not sexy, next time do a 5 minute internet search
Overall: the first 2 episodes were so bad they were funny, but episode 3 was not enjoyable to watch at all. 8 episodes about 30 minutes each. Airing on iQIYI https://www.iq.com/play/tide-of-love-2-episode-1-q7bb46xfuk?lang=en_us and GagaOOLala https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/6193/tide-of-love-2025-s02e01 (not available in the Americas, Spain, Portugal, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Japan or Korea) Here is my review of season 1 https://kisskh.at/profile/blcompilations/review/512672
Content Warnings: drugging, sexual assault, intimate partner abuse, slap, manipulation, past intimate partner abuse
What I Liked
- unintentionally hilarious in the first 2 episodes, wth was that ankle bracelet thing
- visuals
Room For Improvement
- episode 3 was full on intimate partner abuse, preventing him from taking his class, taking his phone away (isolation is a classic abuser tactic), tracking him, chaining him without consent/refusing to let him leave the house, that slap, ugh, none of it was sexy or fun to watch
- mismatched kissing, one guy went all in and the other kept his lips shut (even during times when he allegedly enjoyed it)
- I don't normally take off points for production value for indie series, but this is egregiously low budget feeling
- practically have a mustache twirling villain
