This is a mess
Story is a mess, characters are a mess, the whole plotline is a mess, everything is garbage. Not even joongdunk's chemistry can save this.I was very excited and been waiting for dytd since it's announcement. Needless to say I'm beyond disappointed.
Never let this director work on anything EVER again.
P.s I bet on my life that nobody would even watch this if it weren't for the main cast aka joongdung. Let alone glaze it... Y'all gotta up your standards.

Overhyped
It's nothing too bad, but nothing too good either. Personally i think it doesn't live up to the hype.Honestly the only reason why I watched it to the end was because of firstkhao's characters. I was really invested in them. But the other pairs? I couldn't really force myself to care.
Forcebook still lacks chemistry for me, I just can't see them as more than friends/coworkers. (This is just my personal opinion okayyy?)
Yeah overall the chemistry wasn't really there for any of the pairs except firstkhao really... (I promise I'm not biased!!) but that might just be me.
Overall a decent watch, but would I go through it again? Probably not.

Fandom rant
I feel like to actually enjoy this drama you need to be more immersed in the story than your average action focused dramas.I mean, to get the full experience, it's best to read the weak hero webtoon. Although you'll be quite disappointed in the live action, so I recommend watching it first and THEN reading the webtoon version.
I really liked how they gave beomseok such a realistic character and it became quite difficult to hate him. (Not for most people, but me at least...)
I could go on for HOURS taking about him, his motives, his feelings, his thought process.
But most people in this fandom dont appreciate that. They only like you if you ship suho with sieun, and oh boy don't even get me started on how annoying this is.
They dumb down their entire characters as just them being in love with each other, and also SWEAR they're canon, because the director said it!! I promise you we do not care. They would be canon if they had romantic dialogue in the drama itself. Where is that? Nowhere. They also swear weak hero is a bl which I find hilarious lol.
Anyhow. This is just me ranting about the issues within the fandom...so spare yourself from joining really. There is nothing interesting in here only people shipping jihoon and hyunwook mindlessly, making sexual comments on them, and overall they're just weird and disgusting. Not worth wasting your time in reasoning with them.
[Rant below contains season 2 characters/spoilers]
The webtoon has a decent fandom, they're quite the opposite. The ships vary and they don't execute your first born for not shipping Gray (sieun) x Stephen (suho). Actually, Sieun x Seongje (wolf) is quite popular. But the ships aren't the point anyway, I'm just pointing it out!
We do miss the webtoon characters. Jake would've been a smart addition to the cast as they could've progressed Seongje's character with him. But I guess 8 episodes weren't enough for so many character arcs so its understandable somewhat... Seriously, should've been a 16 episode per season drama.
[HUGE SPOILER]
Also, I really really didn't like what they did to baekjin's character. They killed him off right when he got interesting. Seriously? They did not even explain ANYTHING about his backstory or even his motives. That made me frustrated. He could've progressed further and be an actually important character.
Thats all. Overall im very biased as this is my favorite drama and im very deep within the fandom, it's a big part of who I am. I have a lot of complaints, but I can't bring myself to rate it anything other than 10 stars. Peace out yall (seongtak on top)

Still my favorite after 2 years
I never jump into slow burns because they're just not my cup of tea. But jj did not feel like I was waiting for something that would never come. They did not tease us with unnecessary "moments" between the main couple –and making the wait more agonizing– as most slow burns do.The story progressed, and I did not feel like romance was missing from it. I enjoyed it in its own pace, appreciating the attention to the action parts. ( I cannot begin to explain how much I loved the balance between the comedy and deep/more serious topics as well.)
But of course, when Jack and Joke finally got together, I was waaay beyond excited for them. And it still didn't feel like "the wait finally paid off!", it just felt casual. My problem with slow burn is how usually they have feelings for each other since the beginning but either won't admit it to themselves or just don't realize it.
J&J did the opposite, they developed their feelings throughout the story and their own conflicts, without any unnecessary romance drama.
Although towards the end, the bad guy started to feel a little bit "cartoon villain" viby, but that's not really a problem for me. I had a good laugh at how ridiculous some of his lines were.
10/10.. I truly recommend this with my heart :)

Porn without plot
Well this is unsettling.. I'm a bit concerned for people who enjoyed this. Constant sex scenes without any consent whatsoever, yikes. Might as well just watch straight up porn at this point.What was there to even pay attention to? I already dont remember anything from the storyline.
This was a no for me.
