This was one of those dramas where the premise really hooked me at first, but halfway through I started feeling like it needed more episodes and stronger writing to fully land. I’m also realizing I’m just not a huge fan of Disney+ dramas in general. Aside from The Worst of Evil, most of them end up feeling a bit mid to me and lack the grittier edge I usually get from Netflix shows.
I just finished this drama, and honestly—from the very beginning—I had a feeling things were headed somewhere dark. You could sense that someone was going to die and that everything was building toward a bad ending. But when it finally happened, I was still completely shocked.
What really caught me off guard was Soo-Jung admitting she loved Jung Jae-Min all along. I knew she was indecisive, made questionable choices, and carried a lot of trauma from her past, but I still found myself thinking, Why him? Out of everyone—why choose the biggest red flag of all red flags?
But the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. She really is portrayed as a lost soul, someone shaped by hardship and survival instincts. When you grow up with trauma and constantly struggle to survive, you can end up clinging to the wrong person or the wrong kind of love. In that way, her feelings for Jae-Min felt tragically believable.
Overall, the ending was brutal, but it felt true to who these characters were and the lives they were trapped in. It’s the kind of drama that leaves you stunned, frustrated, and still thinking about their choices long after the ending.
Good drama overall. I actually thought it was going to take a darker turn with Jin So Baek’s character — something along the lines of ‘trust no man,’ considering how many of the secondary characters (especially the men) were pretty scummy. Also, it felt a bit too coincidental that the husband’s doppelganger just happened to work for him.
I first started episode 1 a couple of weeks ago but stopped watching because the opening scene was honestly a bit of a turn-off. Recently, I decided to give it another watch, and I have to admit—it’s one of those dramas where the plot itself isn’t the strongest. That said, the NC scenes and the chemistry between the main couple really help make up for it. I still wouldn’t rate it very high overall, but if you’re on the fence, I’d say it’s still worth a watch.
A second season wasn’t really necessary, especially if they were going to handle it the way they did. I liked the angst, but I was hoping to see Babe as a Top at least once just to switch things up a bit. 🫣
Honestly, this was such a letdown. It sort of started with an interesting concept, but the story ended up being super predictable, boring and dragged out. Every plot twist felt like something I’ve already seen a hundred times in other BL dramas, so nothing really surprised me. The pacing was painfully slow too—so many filler scenes that didn’t add much to the story.
I was intrigued from the beginning, but it felt like this had the potential to be so much more with stronger writing and direction. I don’t mind when romance isn’t the main focus, but in this case, I really wish it had been developed more. I loved the character Sun and thought Tape delivered a great performance. The idea of an international romance was refreshing, but I kept hoping for something deeper. And that cliffhanger ending? Wild. Who knows if we’ll even get a second season.
