Weak worldbuilding and story structure; a slow-burn that doesn't work
CGI, cinematography, and OST are fairly decent.
I got hooked with the first episode and thought the first arc was well-paced, with things running pretty much smoothly.
However, during the second arc, everything started feeling draggy and the push and pull of ML isn’t really working for me for some reasons, considering I’ve had a lot of this in the past.
Maybe it’s been dragged out for too long, or maybe the worldbuilding remained weak and lacked overall direction. Maybe even a combination of both.
I noticed that the series is character-driven. Still, the way they’re written also lacked depth.
I also don’t like how the ML’s character is written out. In the second arc, the second ML stood out better for me, which made me root for him instead.
When I was fast-forwarding a lot of scenes, I knew it was time to quit.
It’s such a shame, because they did a good work in writing the FL’s character: strong, smart, and beautiful.
And when I say smart, this is also in congruent with her view on self-worth. She set boundaries when the ML drew a line. She put more value on herself and the greater good rather than chasing a man who denied sharing any relationship with her. Maybe this will change, and the chase will start after the episode where I stopped.
Maybe even the plot will start picking up.
Unfortunately, at this point, even these possibilities couldn’t make me continue watching.
