K-Drama 
Mixed Feelings
Honestly, I enjoyed this drama a lot more than I expected to. I know a lot of the reviews are understandably focused on the AI-generated flashback scenes, and I really don't support the use of AI for that either. But I feel like the AI controversy has kind of drowned out discussion of the actual story, so I wanted to talk about that too.
The story itself was actually pretty good. I originally had this at around a 9.5/10, but I dropped it to an 8 mainly because some of the acting/chemistry felt awkward, especially during the more emotional or angry scenes. Some interactions with the side characters also felt pretty stiff, and you can definitely tell the budget wasn't exactly huge XD.
Leuk To also started feeling like a massive red flag around the halfway point 😭 but thankfully there's a redemption arc, so I'll give him that.
The biggest thing that kept me watching was definitely the mystery. I really liked how a lot of things that happened earlier eventually started making sense later. There were so many moments where I went "OH... so THAT'S why he did that." Like here, the little detail matter so much!! It actually felt like certain details had been planned from the beginning, which I really appreciated. And the cute moments between the main characters were genuinely really good 🧡. Their little secret language is SO cute hehe.
The ending, though... 😭 I don't even know how to explain it. It felt like it was being dragged out until the absolute last second while also somehow feeling rushed?? I definitely wish the ending had been handled a little better.
Overall, despite its flaws, I still enjoyed watching it. I do wish they hadn't used AI for the flashbacks, but I'm also not going to pretend the entire drama is worthless because of it. The story and mystery were quite enjoyable, and I wish more of the discussion around the drama included that.
Also Leo is just... why is he so hot.
