so bad, it's laughable
it is i, the niel.
i have a lot of questions. nothing happened. haewon acted like a literal child. worst thing i've had the displeasure of watching in a while.
there were two and a half actors in this show who actually wanted to be involved in their roles. the rest seemed to take it as a joke, which honestly was the most entertaining aspect of this drama.
how was this restaurant even functioning in the first place? they supposedly had loads of customers, but only one cook. i'm certain that that kitchen wasn't up to code. at the same time, too many employees but they were hiring? you're done. didn't want to hire high school students, but would hire this random college freshman? you're done. haewon's inability to tie his own apron? you're done. jisoo getting pissed that eungyu burned himself and needed assistance? you're done. random time skip at the end with 3 minutes left of the show? you're done. will haewon ever go to school? i guess we'll never know.
these characters made no sense, but that doesn't compare to the fact that genuinely nothing happened in the story. it wouldn't be a bl without random trauma followed up with no character development. also, none of these characters seemed to have lives outside of this restaurant. even then, they barely did anything while they were and weren't working. whenever i watch these shows, i often wonder why they get so torn up over the smallest things, especially when they do not know each other!!! cringe. why do the characters keep appearing in random unrelated places at the same time? the interactions that the leads had with each other were cringeworthy. haewon was written almost as if he were a child, which was unsettling. why are you guys into each other??? because he's cute??? get out. my favorite part about watching this was seeing eungyu and jisoo sprint their hearts out in episode 8, like it was gym class.
the audio was questionable, which is rare for a kbl. usually the production quality is great with korean shows, but there were so many points where the audio was borderline inaudible and there was random foley that didn't match up with the actions in the scenes. how were there so many background characters/actors? why were people involved in this? the supporting characters seemed like they didn't want to be there half the time.
would i recommend this? absolutely not. would i rewatch this? absolutely not. would i listen to the ost? absolutely not. peace!
