Vibes and one clinically concerning finale.
Up till the last 5 minutes of the drama it’s just full of “nothing” and cliche, vibes and feelings with little substance. I’m not mad, the chemistry between Lee Sang Min and Jeong Jae Jong was good enough to actually carry the non-existing plot. The set up with the VR set was a bit awkward, but I can even turn a blind eye to that. They never truly explain what he is even testing and why, the boss/co-worker seems to not care what others do during working hours either. They don’t care, why should I?
But then the ending happens and I’m sitting in front of the laptop laughing like a maniac. So what you are saying is: Ha Yu Geon tried to magically manipulate Jeong Yeon into being completely in love with me with this magic experiment and Jeong Yeon was like: I'm okay with that. They need help. What an interesting twist that I truly did not expect at all. The longer I think about it, the more ridiculous it is. I want to send them into mandatory therapy.
And by dropping this unexpected revelation the drama ended. No time to adjust your thinking, understand what you just witnessed - just left in a state of shock. Pure form of entertainment. I mean, there is also the issue of Yu Geon conducting an experiment on Jeong Yeon when he was a minor without getting permission from him or his parents. The level of questionable ethics here is fascinating.
I’m not gonna pretend like the production or acting was masterclass quality. It was fine. Nothing stood out neither in a positive nor negative way. That said, they did a fairly good job with the placement of flashbacks and balancing them with the present timeline - it was easy to follow the story and how the character's feelings are changing. With extremely limited screentime and being able to show only snippets of interactions they made wise choices of what was important to highlight the story.
Overall, a decent watch with an amazing ending. The way that last episode changes everything. I expected questionable romance that might have started when one of the characters was still a minor, but what I’ve got was a whole ass manipulation and complicity that goes beyond what anyone would view as normal. What I mean is - fun!
