Somthing Is Not Right!
Spoiler alert: the title was never lying. Not once. Not a single thing was right for 8 episodes and I LOVED it anyway.
The Plot (I Think?):
Ba U doesn’t want to be friends with Ji Hun anymore, because he’s in love with him. But he says none of that.
Ji Hun is confused, clueless, and adorable. He tries to win Ba U back like he lost a sock.
Enter Hamin, who sees this all and goes, “This is great webtoon material.” And you know what? It is.
They all stumble through layers of misunderstanding, emotional repression, and accidental stalking allegations.
The communication is so bad, I started rooting for inanimate objects to pass messages (looking at you, diary).
Eventually Ji Hun kisses Ba U. Ba U says “you pity me.” And I said, “THERAPY. NOW.”
Somehow Hamin becomes the glue of the whole thing, delivering letters like it’s a Jane Austen novel.
Finally: Confession accepted. Boys together. Lesbians bloom. Chaos quiets.
Characters:
Ba U
Emotionally constipated. Terminal case of “I’m not lovable.” Wears his trauma like a cozy hoodie and pushes everyone away for their own good (aka no one’s good). Did he sabotage his own happiness? Yes. Do I want to give him a blanket and therapy? Also yes.
Ji Hun
He means so well. He loves Ba U. He just doesn't know that's what it is for, like, 80% of the show. Most likely to say “I thought we were just really close friends who almost kissed, is that not normal?” Sir, please. Your guitar can’t save you from emotional awareness.
Hamin
Artist. Chaotic. Almost Emotionally fluent while everyone else is just grunting through feelings.
He reads a diary, thinks it’s fiction, finds out it’s real, and STILL decides to help instead of run.
Whether it’s platonic, queerplatonic, or romantic—he was love in action.
Da Eun + Ha Gyeong
2-minute sapphic side couple. Show-stealers.
Their arc was short, sweet, and gave me more serotonin than the entire main plot.
What I Loved:
The mess. This show isn’t neat, and it doesn’t pretend to be.
Hamin being an accidental fairy godmother of their romance.
The writing in Ba U’s diary. I will always like a diary in my drama.
The friend group. Although they share the same braincell.
The side couple.
Hamin. (yeah, lol)
What Drove Me to Yell Into a Pillow:
NO ONE TALKS. EVER. Every problem could be solved with one sentence.
Ba U’s self-worth is so low it made me cry.
They made Hamin fall into the “one-sided love” trope when he deserved to be the peaceful outsider!
Final Thoughts:
This show is like watching two people try to hug with blindfolds on, while a third guy yells instructions from across the street holding a novel he thought was fake.
It’s messy, frustrating, awkward—and weirdly beautiful.
It’s not perfect, but it hit something in me. That soft ache of being young and scared to speak.
And sometimes? That’s enough.
The cinematography and acting was great though!
Would I recommend it?
Yes, if you're okay yelling "JUST TALK!" every five minutes.
