Perfect Guilty Pleasure
Affinity was genuinely a mess, but a good mess. It’s a guilty pleasure of mine now, I keep rewatching scenes.
I really cannot explain it well but I definitely recommend watching. Switch off your brain and let your eyes openly feast! (not on the cgi though..) I saw people raving about the kiss scenes and I thought to myself, “They can’t be that good.” WOW, I was wrong. First episode, it’s nothing special but you keep on going and it’s like you’ve hit the lottery of steamy and spicy dramas. Fang Jin and Cui Yu Xin have absolutely electric chemistry. It’s impossible to take your eyes away from the screen when they’re both on. Please, the kiss scenes are so intense and so good.
I’ll be honest, the storyline is interesting towards the start but it does derail about half way through. Still, you’ll keep watching because it’s addicting. 40 episodes at 18 mins, sizzling chemistry between the leads, it’s easy dopamine!
The main leads can definitely act though, both of them really surprised me. Fang Jin especially deserves more recognition and I hope to see her do more dark romance roles, she suits them. Again, I’ll say it again, but they can definitely kiss!
ML is extremely toxic and honestly consent and boundaries aren’t really a thing towards the start. (They are later). FL isn’t completely against him though, considering their relationship dynamic. She’s more unsure. But you can see their chemistry. In the end it’s fiction, none of this is real and I hope no one would condone this irl. But for a fictitious guilty pleasure after a long day, it is perfect!
Character development is obviously not 10/10, but it is quite good for a drama with this type of production. The OSTS are super catchy and addicting, I hear one playing in my head.
Overall, a 8.5 from me. Rated based on my enjoyment of the romance aspect! 6.5-7.5 purely based on storytelling because the ending was rushed, and there were plot holes. But this type of story is definitely strange and once in a while type thing, still worth expediting.
Obviously, it’s not the best drama you’ll ever see. It’s far from it, but it’s definitely worth watching (at least trying)
Try a few episodes, not much to lose considering they’re short. DON’T involve logic, otherwise you won’t enjoy the ride, and be prepared to rewind to get a better view a LOT.
