It's always funny seeing criticisms on movies like this one because people's complaints are things I expected going into it. Poor writing? Cheesy? Awkward? That is exactly why I wanted to watch this. I love a dumb, light romance. It's odd to me to see that anyone expected anything different.

It's funny to me that he's only been in 3 series so far and in 2 of them he plays a vampire

I find this drama interesting because of how it plays with morality. The male lead is her stalker, and technically does kidnap her, even though she chooses to go with him, she is a minor. But also, he never does anything to hurt her, but rather brings her safety and some semblance of happiness. And they talk about getting married, but it never seems to be quite sincere when they say it, nor does it really seem to be intended as romantic. Really, though they love each other, it seems to not be romantic. Their relationship doesn't feel romantic at all, but rather that they are the only thing bringing each other happiness, so "getting married" is their way of trying to hold onto that happiness forever. It feels like everything between them is in this weird moral grey area where you don't exactly know how to feel about it.

THE THIRD EPISODE!!! It blew me out of the water! It wonderfully showed so much of the struggles and pain that can come from being aroace in an allonormative world, specifically with the trauma Sakuko experienced because of it and forcing herself to fit into that world. It was so impactful and had me tearing up! And how when Sakuko's ex is shown to be following them, Satoru calls him out for how creepy that is and "love" doesn't make it okay.

I was able to just fine, but you could try downloading it from a streaming site instead of the torrent file. I had to do that for episode 2 and the subtitles still synced up perfectly fine.

I know this has nothing to do with the American movie but that title really threw me

To be fair, that is pretty directly from the CW show. But the trope definitely does appear a lot in K-dramas.

I hate to see that it got cut down to 16 episodes. I know things will probably feel rushed, but I hope they are still able to tell the full story in a (at least somewhat) satisfactory way.

It seems they edited it out on Viki if you watched it there, but if you look at other uploads it's there

If I remember correctly, Ko Moon Young having ASPD was false. It was suspected or perhaps diagnosed, but really the traits that lead the characters to believe she had ASPD were more accurately from PTSD. But if anyone's seen the show more recently and I'm wrong, please correct me.

I watched the whole show and in the end, Gang Tae realizes he's the one putting the burden on himself largely due to a feeling of guilt, and Sang Tae goes off to work on his own thing, not relying on Gang Tae at all. So I'd say your interpretation, even though you didn't watch the whole show, is pretty accurate.

I don't know why, but the dubbing on this drama drove me insane. Usually I don't mind, but I couldn't make it through the second episode. Maybe the voices didn't seem to match the faces well enough?

At first, I was like, "Well, the voice is a dead give away," but then I realized the issue of the Adam's apple. Going to rely on suspension of disbelief a little, but I don't mind.
