Had Potential, but Unfortunately Fell Flat

I don't mind the vertical format, but so much was left unexplained or went too quickly that it felt off-putting. The story lacks cohesion in my opinion, with strange and abrupt storytelling elements.

The cinematography also felt strange at times, that it felt a bit amateurish throughout the viewing experience.

The acting was pretty well done so I don't have any major complaints about that compared to other elements.

This had so much potential, so I can only hope that in the future when thriller BLs are made that there's more attention to cohesive storytelling.

I mainly watched this being intrigued by the thriller BL aspect, and N being one of the leads.

I wouldn't say it's a waste of time, I did enjoy various parts of this series despite me having an overral critical review of this show.

The show had its comedic moments, and some nice chemistry moments between the leads but I wouldn't go into this with high expectations.
