great cast with improvement in acting...but horrendous plot/story

i was kinda nervous to watch this because i saw so many mixed reviews, but i did...and there are my thoughts (and some rants).

this is going to be a lil long so grab something to snack on and a drink lol

tw: stalking, obsession

first, i usually dont write reviews, so bear with me here. might be a little all over the place cause i put down what i think while im thinking it

second... lets address the elephant... stalking is not love, its obssesion.

this would have been SO much better if it was actually about parallel worlds and not... stalking... such a missed opportunity to create something so awesome with boss and noeul, especially with their improvements since lita...we instead got this mess.

something like this could have been played off so much better if they just stuck to the original "story", and didnt change it into some creepy shitshow in the last few episodes. if they stuck to having different worlds, especially after whatever happened to cir after he got hit the second time, this wouldnt be that much of a yuck-fest. what even happened there? he got hit, changed into a whole different person in his headspace or whatever you want to call it, even having his scar poof into the void of matter, and then randomly came back in the middle of a cross-walk after phu said goodbye??? what in the world(s... lol). i just dont understand. what was the point of it if it was never brought back up again? the show jumped from different worlds and internal-mindset-visions or wtv to full on stalking with no transition. everything from the beginning of the show wasnt mentioned in the last couple eps--except for ONCE in the last episode of phu mentioning the scar--and everything at the end of the show, wasnt mentioned or even connected from the first section...i dont know if that made any sense at all but hopefully yall understand what im trying to say T_T

anyways

stalking and/or anything equivalent SHOULD NOT BE ROMANTICIZED??? i do not like that a silly little guilt-trip-giving video that cir put on an ipad and put on phu's table along with flowers (woo hoo, the bare minimum :|) just magically made phu forgive the five years of close stalking and intenseee watching...

thats absolutely insane to me. A VIDEO???--one that lasted a lot of the episode at that--made him just...accept the fact that hes been being stalked for that long? CALL THE POLICE, DAWG. WHAT ARE YOU DOING T-T...if someone confessed to me that they have been stalking me for a crazy amount of time like that, id be callin someone: my mom, the popo, the fbi, ANYONE.

another thing... that mother...deserves to be put in jail. im honestly so happy cir's dad and zone escaped from that hellish "mother," but it also sucked that cir had to deal with her for so long...until the random section of zone and his dad coming into the house offering to switch out "properties" so cir can be with the one he loves...okay buddy...it was eh but also really dumb. literally went:

"im switching out with you"

"NO YOU CANT...NOOOO"

"its my choice man"

"oh ight gotchu...go ahead, thanxx! aggressively runs away with phu"

LIKE WHAT T-T

anyways, pt. 2 (final one)

i wouldnt really recommend this to anyone unless theyre bored out of their mind and want something with pretty good chemistry between actors, a bad plot, and something to laugh at in some sections (either from it being funny, second-hand embarrassment, or jus flat out horribly done scenes with no use).

if i can think of anything else ill add it, but jeez, this was an interesting watch. love bossnoeul to death, but this wasn't it, man. WE NEED REDEMTIONNN
