They had me in the first half, not gonna lie
- First half 10 out of 10 (6/12 episodes)
- Second half 5/10 (11/12 episodes)
- Finale 6/10 (12/12 episodes)
It had me hooked, it had me confused, it had me feel things, BUT it also had me annoyed and bored.
First half is really good. The introduction of the characters, the use of different languages, and the various locations were all well done. The storyline had a steady pace with enough depth to properly build the plot. However, the communication between the FL and ML in episode six really made me flip out , and not in a good way. It felt toxic and unreasonable for two people in their 30s+.
The second half felt messy, jumping from one plot point to another. The whole “other self” FL thing was dragged out for too long. They wanted to made the FL more likable, but at the same time she seemed so vulnerable in a way that felt more like a teenage girl than a grown woman. Also, the relationship development took forever, longer than international shipping.
However, I really liked the passion scenes, finally proper kisses in the series and some reality in a K-drama! The supporting characters were refreshing, and their side stories added some extra charm.
Finale was fine, but mostly filled with unnecessary content.
Do I recommend it? Yes and no. Watch it for the first half, just don’t expect that same "high" to last until the very end.
