corny and pretty boring
surprised with it being at 8.0 now because this was kinda bad lol at least the writing was very weak which was sad when the story had potential to be fun. corny behaviour from characters just made it cringe honestly just because it was a vampire premise didn’t mean it needed to match up with terrible twilight writing lolWas this review helpful to you?
mildly corny but fun watch
surprised I watched this considering the format of course but it was actually pretty engaging. one of the characterizations got kind of weird for a second towards the end but other than that I think the story was fine overall. ending was anticlimactic though and not very memorable so that actually increased the rewatch value lolWas this review helpful to you?
moody in a good way high quality production and memorable
actually the pacing for this stood out for me the most. made it memorable and gave actual rewatch value which I don’t often have at all. definitely unexpected as well considering unintentional love story’s show was starkly different. was a lot heavier handed in this one and with a stronger mood. though that also resulted in plot holes connecting back to the main story I didn’t care. emotions were also a highlight definitely better acting from these leads than on the original show. was engaging to the point I didn’t care if it was different from the source material. in any case, the characterization was very different from it anywayWas this review helpful to you?
simple straightforward romcom
kinda surprised nobody else is bothered by the choice to make the webtoon on the usb to be the first main driving point? the side character’s role contributed just about nothing to the story and neither did her usb, even less than the other 2 supporting characters. it didn’t even make sense for anyone else to have seen or know of the usb the way the situation was presented. just a very weak story that blatantly exposed itself as an amateur youtube project despite the fact I watched it on another platform without any prior knowledge. as several others have said as well, the story is told moreso in brief vignettes, which didn’t do it any favours. the stronger point in editing seemed to be the music choices being nearly all piano pieces, giving the show a bit of a theatrical tone that seemed to suit the comedy genre they attempted to achieve that I personally enjoy. though that could possibly also attribute to an amateurish impression too, depending on how different viewers perceive it. more points for characterizations not being bland like most others in the genre. and despite the setbacks, the overall plot was still able to be engaging and wasn’t as boring as other shows in the genre with similarly weak plots. good de-stress watch, light and cornyWas this review helpful to you?
????????
who allowed these writers to make this.. lol what a huge waste of essentially full length episodes. there was no way to understand anything that happened the plot had actually zero structure at least in the way it was presented on screen. they were really just writing Whatever. right off the bat, the pilot episode makes it seem like you’re dropped off in the middle of nowhere where the story has already started which I think several others have mentioned getting this impression as well. it felt as though absolutely no conversations occurred at all in this story and nothing made any sense. the encompassing mood throughout is absolutely miserable without good reason from this empty plot and along with several others, I was already set off at the start with how bad the sets were lit like a hospital too. really weird production despite clear efforts towards visuals? just poor choices throughout and forcing myself to finish it to judge it fairly was just plain torturous. haven’t read the source material, but it seems like it was written by some sick teenager. the obsession with pseudo incest in asia for no reason needs to be studied. in this adaptation seemed like they just took the entire novel and annotated key scenes that they wanted to portray and threw them together alone as separate parts without any consideration for flow or storytelling. unlikable characters and exaggerated characterizations, literally the only character I didn’t hate was Iljo, even he was written poorly. hated Suhyo and Jeonghan when we were probably only supposed to hate Jeongin and the CEO. the addition of the past scenes were particularly useless because it just made me wonder why on earth Iljo was treated with such scorn in the beginning when there was no reason for it at all other than to just have an edgy toxic premise. just made me feel pity for the entire cast to be subjected to a script like this. I normally hate how many osts, especially in this genre, will often have full english lyrics for openings, but the closing credits track was unexpectedly good. mildly surprised there’s any good reviews of this show at all, but I know this genre is often not sought out for storytelling.tldr huge waste of runtime opportunity. nonexistent plot and bad production that tries to give the illusion it’s otherwise. don’t watch this expecting a story at all. anything I rate 3 stars is only watchable if you’re high as a kite or were born yesterday like the writers seemed to be

no justice to source material
not that the source material is amazing but it was still better than whatever this was. the least they could’ve done was stick to it a bit better honestly and the acting among the leads was pretty stale. if anyone wants to watch this I recommend reading the webtoon after and not before to have both without ruining it lolWas this review helpful to you?
