Intricately detailed production visuals added with outstanding acting from all

Intricately detailed production visuals added with extremely solid acting all around, this is a historical drama I would rewatch. Pacing was good (a bit on the slower end) and kept my interest - some of the writing in certain plot points could have been stronger for sure, so may not want to binge watch some of the eps at once (def. can binge the last quarter of the drama however) - but the characters are very consistent throughout and the overall story is built up well to the very end. I'm completely satisfied with the OTP and the secondaries cps. Overall a very lovely visual atmosphere and telling.

Some good thematic exploration about spoiling can lead to their doom (and also other victims along the way), pursuing justice despite the personal cost/sacrifice, and giving into destiny/fate vs. fighting against it. For a "rebirth" premise, this did not feel cliched. None of the subplots/supporting characters felt like filler. The villains' are written and portrayed very well. I really enjoyed seeing the flashbacks to the FL's previous lifetime (and otp loll) and also the various additional details revealed throughout. A satisfying happy ending if a bit abrupt in the finale ep.

Zhang Wanyi is amazing as always (his microexpressions are the best), and Jing Tian's FL character here is a good balance of sweet and competent and vulnerable (my first drama I've finished from her!). They're fun to watch together. Loved all the supporting characters~

**Bonus points to the director/photographer for all the scenic shots and some zoom in time for the production details**

Some notes/comparisons to other cdramas (because I could not resist):
The Double: "rebirth" premise, but SI JIN is better in that I felt like the main otp is given the justified screentime they deserve
Legend of the Female General: again, "rebirth" premise, but SI JIN has more brains in the writing/plot esp. in regards to the politics and the villains
ZWY's other drama Are You the One: similar in the reluctance/push-and-pull beginning of the otps in both dramas - esp. from the FLs in both dramas. Stronger performance from Jing Tian as the main FL in SI JIN (suspect probably better writing for the FL character) compared to WCR in AYTO. Which I'm happy to find as I mostly enjoyed her performance in Wonderland of Love opposite Xu Kai but I think the writing did not give credit to her character and made me dislike watching her character in the drama. I'm convinced the ZWY can have chemistry with a stick of wood while watching AYTO, yet Wang Churan seems better in what I've seen of her in How Dare You?! opposite Cheng Lei.

Intensity, Sci-Fi, and a Chemistry That Burns Up the Screen

To make sure I didn't miss a single detail of the intricate universe of Pit Babe, I decided to do a marathon: I rewatched the first season and immediately dove into the second. Watching them back-to-back makes you realize how well-connected everything is, especially since the entire series revolves around people with special abilities, a key factor that brilliantly explains why certain characters return to the board.

THE PLOT: THE SERUM DILEMMA AND THE CURSE OF POWERS

If the first season was all about adrenaline and racing, the second season raises the stakes by focusing on a much more mature and dangerous plot: the attempt to develop a serum that can eliminate special abilities. Far from being a weapon, the goal of this serum is humanitarian: to protect those who do not want their powers or simply cannot control them.

A Desperate Need for Jeff and Charlie: Although the serum is vital for Jeff, whose ability is incredibly unstable, dangerously strong, and threatens to cause him irreparable damage; it is also a crucial and desperately needed element for Charlie. For him, getting rid of these abilities is not a whim, it is a medical and emotional urgency that directly affects his survival and his future. The race against time to develop this serum is what keeps the tension at an all-time high.

BABE AND CHARLIE: AN ELECTRIFYING CHEMISTRY THAT EVOLVES

Let’s talk about what melts us all: Babe and Charlie. If they had already won us over in the first season, in this second round their chemistry is absolutely electrifying. The way they touch, how they flirt, and those intense looks into each other's eyes made me smile, blush, and get completely hooked to the screen.

The best part is that the series doesn't just rely on fanservice or heat of the moment; the second season delves deeply into their connection, exploring their mutual vulnerability and the high emotional tension behind it. They are the absolute heart of the show.

NEW FACES AND UNEXPECTED REDEMPTIONS

One of the surprises of the season is the new character, Willy (played brilliantly by Milk). At first, I admit he got on my nerves, he was insufferable, arrogant, and self-centered. However, the script does a fantastic job with him; the shift in his character as the story progresses is so organic that it completely changed my perspective of him. You end up empathizing with him in a way you just don't see coming.

THE BIG CONTRADICTION: ALAN´S DOWNFALL

Not everything is perfect, and here comes my biggest conflict with the season: Alan's behavior. He has always been the protector, the undeniable pillar of the team, the leader, the mentor, and the oldest of the group. Everyone trusts him blindly.

Discovering that his old spinal injury from racing hasn't healed adds drama, but for me, that is no excuse for him to go and negotiate with Tony. Furthermore, the hypocrisy of his character this season hurts: he demands absolute honesty from Jeff, while he hides absolutely everything from him. That lack of consistency with the Alan we used to know left a pretty bitter taste in my mouth.

THE VERDICT: BEYOND THE RACETRACK

What truly solidifies this second season is how it manages to expand its universe. Pit Babe is no longer just a series about romance and cars; it transforms into a survival thriller where past traumas and human ambition collide head-on. Although the pacing falters in a few places due to the side characters' subplots, the acting growth of the entire cast holds the show together strongly.

If you liked the first one, the second season is a mandatory watch that will keep you on the edge of your seat, and, of course, falling a little more in love with Babe and Charlie.

Beautifully raw and real

This show was beautifully done. I wouldn't consider it a BL, maybe more of a queer story. I loved this so much. I watched it one sitting. I loved getting to go through so many years of life with our cast. It felt like watching someone's life more than watching a show and I loved that.

Ryu was my favorite character. He was so caring and so adorable and just the biggest green flag. Jo Han was an incredible character too. He went through so many hard time but I loved that he kept getting back up and trying to make the best out of his life. Sumiko was also so enjoyable to watch. She is so strong and I loved her determination too. All the characters in this show had such a complexity about them that made them feel so real. They all went through good times as well as a lot of hardships that life throws at you.
The boys wanting to help Sumiko raise the baby and seeing the three of them raise her together was so beautiful to see. I loved that it showed different sides of it including the judgement that would naturally come from other people. Even after Jo Han left, Ryu agreeing to marry Sumiko to make it easier on the child was so incredible to see too.
I have a feeling some people won't care for the ending since the boys never confessed to each, nor came out and said they were gay, but I loved it. Somehow that made the story seem that much more real. You as the audience knew they were gay and knew they had feelings for each other from little moments here and there throughout the show without it ever being said outright and I loved that. We hear their monologues and the end and hear the I love you's but I personally think the I love you's were just in their heads. I think they spent Jo Han's finals moments together and then Ryu goes back home without them ever saying anything to each other, but I don't think they needed to. I think they knew deep down how they felt and that was enough for them and even though some may say it's tragic they never heard it from the other, I think it is still beautiful.

A Crown It Never Earned

Perfect Crown opens with a king who wanted to walk away from his crown. He chose abdication over power and died in a fire shortly after, with the queen mother's hands close enough to the flame to make you wonder. The show looks you in the eye in those opening moments and makes you a promise that what follows will carry the weight of that beginning. It does not.
This is a drama that invests everything into its surface and almost nothing into its foundations. The visuals are stunning, the costumes are gorgeous, the music is carefully chosen, and at the center of it all are two actors who deserved a far better story. What Perfect Crown lacks is the courage to be the show it claimed to be in its first episode.
The drama is set in an alternate South Korea with a constitutional monarchy a premise full of political possibility. Power, legacy, class, succession all of it is laid on the table early. But the show is never truly interested in any of it. It uses these elements as decoration while quietly becoming a light romantic comedy, and the transition is so gradual and so unearned that by the finale you are watching a completely different show from the one that began.
Byeon Woo Seok is the drama's greatest asset and its greatest tragedy. His performance is exceptional fear, anger, longing, all of it lives in his eyes before it ever reaches his dialogue. He gives the show an emotional core it did not write for him. Much of the online discourse has criticized his performance as too restrained but that reading misses what he is actually doing. Yi-an is a man who has spent his entire life being told not to outshine the crown. Of course he is contained. The restraint is the performance. IU matches him with her trademark sharp energy, and together their chemistry is genuine. But even the best chemistry cannot make you feel the weight of a romance when the world around it keeps refusing to commit to itself. The actors gave this drama more than it gave them.
The supporting characters suffer most from this lack of commitment. Min Jeong-woo begins the drama as the prince's loyal confidant — trusted, close, essential. His eventual betrayal should be one of the drama's most devastating moments. Instead it lands as absurd, because the writers never did the work to earn it. His feelings for the female lead are gestured at rather than developed. We never watch him fall, never watch him struggle, never watch him reach a breaking point where destroying his closest friendship feels like his only option. He does not become a traitor through pain or desperation. He is simply assigned one, and the difference is everything.
The queen mother is the drama's most damning failure. She is established early as its true villain, a woman whose ambition is so consuming that a king died suspiciously close to her anger. That same king had a sealed royal document stating his wish to pass the throne to Yi-an — a document that should have been the show's most explosive revelation. Yi-an holds it. The audience knows it exists. And then the show simply moves on, leaving its most consequential piece of evidence gathering dust in a drawer. In a monarchy, which is the entire world this show constructs, that document is everything legitimacy, justice, truth. Ignoring it is not an oversight. It is the show abandoning its own story. And when the finale arrives the queen mother faces no real punishment anyway. She hands over some evidence and walks away. The writers built a world where a king's abdication decree was burnt to ash to protect a succession and then allowed the woman responsible for his suspicious death to exit quietly. It is not mercy. It is the show flinching from the consequences of its own story.
The female lead's family undergoes a similarly unconvincing transformation, softening toward her in the final episodes without the emotional groundwork to make it believable. Again and again Perfect Crown reaches the moments it has been building toward and looks away.
Perfect Crown earns a 5 out of 10 and that 5 belongs almost entirely to its performances, its visuals, and the ghost of the show it could have been. Watch it if you want something easy, fast, and light — a binge for an idle weekend with beautiful people in beautiful costumes. Just do not watch it expecting the show it promised to be in its opening minutes. That show never arrived

The Comedy That Knew Itself

Me & Thee is the kind of drama that makes you smile like an idiot on the screen. It is not trying to be anything grand or deep, it is pure, warm, fluffy comedy and that honesty is exactly what makes it a fresh breath of air.
What gives the show its charm is how cleverly it builds its comedy and it starts with a simple but smart piece of character writing. Thee grew up watching his mother, a soap opera actress, in lakorn reruns. So when he speaks in grand declarations and dramatic flourishes, it never feels random or forced. It feels inevitable. This is a man who learned what love looks like from soap operas and that makes his every word and action more believable because for him this is how you express your love. He means every word sincerely. That sincerity is what saves the comedy from feeling cheap. Rather than playing its melodramatic dialogue straight, the writers let the characters mock it themselves, as if winking at the audience on their behalf. It is a meta move that could easily fall flat but it works beautifully, because of the three-way dynamic the show builds around it. Pond delivers Thee's most absurd lines with such ease and naturalness that the comedy never feels constructed. Est, playing Thee's secretary, responds to Thee's puppy love moments with facial expressions alone, his reactions capturing exactly the secondhand cringe the audience feels watching Thee turn soft. Peach takes a different role, verbally calling out Thee's lakorn-style dramatic dialogue, telling him plainly to get it together, giving the show's theatrical excess an in-universe critique. Together these three create a comedic system with two distinct frequencies, and the show rides both with confidence.
It is when we look closer at the characters that the cracks begin to show. Peach as the other half of the central romance is where the show stumbles most and what makes it frustrating is how much potential he carries. His backstory is quietly devastating: an abusive childhood, a sister he had to raise alone, a boy who was forced to grow up before he ever got to simply be a child. There is one moment in the hospital where Peach tells Thee that he makes him feel like a child again and in that single line the show reveals everything it could have been. A man that guarded, learning to rely on someone for the first time, is a romance worth watching. But the writers never return to it. His past is hinted at and abandoned, and the actor struggles to fill the silence the writing leaves behind. What Peach needed was not more screen time — he needed the writers to trust the story they had already started telling. A single moment of jealousy, possessiveness, or visible longing would have made his love for Thee feel earned. Without it the romance leans entirely on Thee's shoulders and never quite balances.
The mafia backstory woven into Thee's family history has the same problem: it is all suggestion and no substance. In a light comedy this does not ruin anything, but it is a missed opportunity. A character as charming as Thee deserved a past that added genuine depth rather than just a label others fear.
Despite these gaps, Me & Thee earns a solid 8 out of 10. It is fresh, it is warm, and it has two performances that take the show further than the writing alone deserves. Watch it when you need something light that makes you feel good and smile like crazy. It delivers exactly that, and sometimes that is enough.

I ended up liking this series much more than I expected.

The chemistry, the emotions, and the overall feeling of the story really surprised me in a good way. 😊

Plot focused on the wrong things

This show was good but definitely has its flaws. The best part of the story was the relationship between Kelvin and Veir. I think that storyline from the trailer, along with FortPeat, is the reason we all tuned into this. The relationship between Nana and Lalin was decent. The storyline with all the company stuff I think is where the show had its weakest moments.

Kelvin and Veir:
They are the strongest and best part of the show like I mentioned before. I loved seeing how their relationship changed. I loved seeing Kelvin lose it and kidnap Veir and just be crazy. It did eventually into a real relationship which was nice as well. Now I did think we were going to get more of Kelvin being crazy and more of Veir being locked up by him. Just based on the trailer, it felt like that would be more of the focus of the show and it wasn't at all. Even just their relationship as a whole seemed to be put on the backburner in the later episodes to focus on other plots that were just not as good. You can tell they loved each other in the end and I'm glad Kelvin went and got help during the six-month time skip. Do I think they should be together? No. I think Veir deserves someone a little more mentally stable, but it's fine. Peat and Fort killed these roles as always and have such incredible chemistry with each other!!

Nana and Lalin:
I'm always happy to see girls as the second couple in a BL, but they always seem to flop a little bit with their storyline, and I felt this one was no different. They just simply didn't get enough screentime for me to care a lot about them. I liked the girls and liked them together, don't get me wrong, but they didn't get enough time that was just the two of them. I think if they had more time I would've cared a lot more.

The company and family drama:
This plot just took up way too much of the show. It was pretty boring and so drawn out. The characters like the dad, the brother, the friends, etc. from all of this were so two dimensional and so unlikable. I didn't like a single one. I didn't really care about this plot line to begin with and in the last few episodes it was the main focus, and I just found myself so bored and annoyed. The wrap up of it all was also just so unsatisfying too. We didn't even get to see Ken get caught. We were just told about it which is such lazy writing. If they weren't going to show us, they should've just had him get caught in the warehouse.

Overall, I think this show wasn't as good as we all hoped and I think it's mainly because the trailer and promotions were so misleading. I think they should've main Kelvin's toxicity with Veir a way heavier focus on the show and it would've been way better and more widely liked.

Should've Been 16 Episodes

i am all for shorter 8/10/12 ep kdramas but this is one i firmly believe would have benefitted from being 16 eps. the story was clearly meant for 16 eps but was maybe reduced later. i say this because the first half of the show introduced a lot of subplots that were then abandoned midway or never mentioned again, leaving a LOT of loose threads in the ending. the ensemble was packed with such interesting characters but it was wasted cause the relationship dynamics did not develop properly enough.

the most frustrating for me was how they introduced such fraught relationships in huiju's family, but then her brother and father flipped without a proper understanding of why, becoming people who loved and adored huiju when the entire show she had felt unwanted in her family.

similarly, prime minister min and queen mother yirang had so much potential but they were underutilised. min jeongwoo's villain arc could have been so interesting if done well and soon yirang's redemption arc was basically non-existent outside two scenes. these characters deserved better care.

i also wished the palace staff and esp the staff at lee wan's private residence got more screen time. it was SO cute to see them all have such easy camaraderie with the leads. all their scenes genuinely brought such a big smile to my face. absolutely lovely.

i also wish there were more scenes with lee yun and the leads. they were such a cute lil family of uncle, aunt, and nephew and they deserved more!!!

not just the side characters, but the main leads too. while the relationship developed nicely, i felt their individual arcs were not explored the way they should have been.

i also think this show has been marketed incorrectly, cause i went in expecting a romcom but was hit in the face with a palace drama in the second half of the show. so many villains popping out and all this court intrigue and manoeuvring is definitely stuff that i enjoy but it would be appreciated if i knew what i was going into.

all that said, the chemistry between the leads is fire and i loved watching all their scenes SO much. romance is truly alive with these two!! and i think my favourite part about tbe show is the last episode. abolishing the monarchy being your first act after ascending to the throne? ICONIC ICONIC ICONIC!! love truly is revolution! that is a message i can always get behind!!!

also, wooseok and iu are soooo good looking like i cannot stress this enough they're absolutely GORGEOUS. i wish some styling choices for wooseok were different but iu looked absolutely stunning throughout and we cheer for that!

also great rewatch value cause i immediately went back to rewatch some wanseong scenes the moment ep12 ended. ❤️

Superheroes, Chaos, and Endless Charisma

This drama pleasantly surprises with its unusual mix of genres: action, fantasy, comedy, and adventure all blend together naturally. While the plot seems to follow classic superhero tropes, the story has a charm all its own. The '90s atmosphere, superpowers, underground labs, plot twists, and the classic battle between good and evil make it a truly thrilling watch.

At the same time, the drama is not just pure entertainment. Beneath the humor lie themes of friendship, support, self-acceptance, and human warmth. What makes it especially compelling is that the main characters are people who were considered “different” by society. They didn't start out with typical superhero bravery, and the story vividly shows how they grow, overcome themselves, and gradually change their outlook on the world.

The cast also deserves special praise. Cha Eun Woo fits his role perfectly, and his restrained acting style actually works in favor of the character here. Park Eun Bin is incredible — her character initially seems quirky and odd, but slowly reveals herself as sincere, kind, and incredibly charismatic. But the real standout for me was Choi Dae Hoon. I had seen him in other dramas before, but here he truly shines. I did not expect this level of comedy from him — his reaction to the kiss scene was unforgettable, and the superpower that initially seemed completely useless turned out to be one of the funniest parts of the show. The chemistry between the leads is fantastic, and the soundtrack and visuals only elevate the entire experience.

The result is a very vibrant, funny, and at the same time heartfelt drama.

A Gripping Political Thriller with Unexpected Heart

No spoilers in this first bit! If you want to go in completely blind, just read the first two sections.

This drama is like a mix of Homeland, The Diplomat, and The Bodyguard. It’s well-written, the story actually makes sense from episode to episode, and the pace is so good that it hooks you right from the first hour. Plus, there aren't any bad actors in it, which is a relief because we’ve all seen dramas where one bad performance ruins the whole thing!

The Story
The story begins with Seo Mun Ju (Jun Ji Hyun), a seasoned diplomat and former UN Ambassador to the United States. Her world gets turned upside down by a sudden tragedy that leaves her with a mountain of unanswered questions and a desire for justice. Soon after, she crosses paths with San Ho (Kang Dong Won), a mysterious man with a questionable past and an obscured identity, who has been hired by a third party to protect her. From this point on, we are plunged into a dangerous world of deep deception, manipulation, and high-stakes political maneuvering, where nations are forced into a deadly geopolitical game of chicken. With multiple powerful factions trying to stop Mun Ju from uncovering the truth, San Ho must do everything in his power to keep her alive.

The Acting
The acting is definitely the highlight here. I really love Lee Mi Sook—she’s in so many dramas and always plays her roles perfectly. However, the real magic lies with the leads.

Kang Dong Won absolutely shines, perfectly embodying a calm, deadly bodyguard of few words. While he is lethal in protecting Mun Ju, he brilliantly manages to make every touch and interaction with her look gentle, protective, and deeply caring. The most amazing part is the intense way he looks at her, right from the start, making it clear that he is drawn to her. Right from episode one, you can feel the chemistry, and you’re instantly rooting for them. I was pleasantly surprised by how much weight the romance carried—something I didn't expect from the show's initial premise—and his performance is easily the highlight of the series.

Jun Ji Hyun is also amazing. She plays a convincing, smart, and hardened woman who just won't give up on the truth. She does a great job showing sadness and grief, though my only tiny complaint is that she rarely gets angry, occasionally giving her a detached or empty look in high-stress moments. Despite this, the chemistry the two leads create is fantastic, and they truly know how to make their intimate scenes resonate. The visuals are stunning, too, and the fight scenes are beautifully choreographed.

What Didn't Work (SPOILERS):

The Villain's Motivations: After a brilliant initial setup involving global powers being manipulated to the brink of war, the plot unfortunately devolves into a bit of a "one-woman show." Learning that a single mother-in-law's personal vendetta, hatred for a country, and fixation on nuclear weapons drove the entire plot felt small. It would have been far more satisfying and realistic if a vast, intricate network of systemic corruption were pulling the strings behind the scenes with a more grounded motive.

The Boat Explosion Logic: In the final episode, after the ship undergoes a massive, catastrophic explosion, the president tells Mun Ju that teams are still "looking for San Ho's remains." Given the sheer magnitude of that blast, this phrasing makes absolutely no sense. He either escaped the vessel in time, or he was blown into microscopic pieces. Good luck searching the entire ocean for that!

The Open Ending: I really hated the open ending. There was no reason for it. I love a happy ending, so I wanted to see San Ho actually get off the boat safely and give us some proper closure, rather than leaving things up in the air.

I LOVED IT!! & I'M SURE YOU WILL LOVE IT TOO!! YESSS!!!!!!!!

Trust me, This pinoy was absolutely way ahead of its time. The poster may mislead you for being just a cute teenage story ....yess the cuteness is there but with a Mature plot.

Ps : Review may be biased because I love Gavreel too much cus I resonate with him a lot.
And also I love babying Cairo too much, becuz he is who I am irl!!! & PEARL --> Love you gurl!

They literally had me grinning from ear to ear all the way till half of the series only to cry my balls out in last 2 eps.
I enjoyed Gav's flirting - I personally felt like I'm there third wheeling btw my 2 fav pookies.
My heart ached badly when they got into a fight in the last 2 eps - It did not make me feel like I was watching a series, but it felt more like I was directly involved in a lovers LDR quarrel and that I have to try my level best to reconcile them. I just kept crying guys....I feel like both of them had extremely valid point for their disagreements with each other because we all see different aspects of life, we are all treated by life differently and that's okay!!

I feel like The Philippines, made THE BEST use of the pandemic than any other country/production ever could. Thanks to them, we got this amazing series. Definitely my top 10 BL series of all time, all languages!!!

Dark, thrilling, and with real depth.

Vigilante — the story of a dark hero with no superpowers fighting for justice. Sounds pretty awesome right from the start. I really like grounded stories that stay away from the usual Marvel-style stuff.

The series blends law and vigilantism and shows how, in the fight against evil, you slowly start slipping into morally gray territory yourself. That inner conflict is exactly what makes it so gripping. The protagonist, with his calm smile and barely controlled madness, has an insanely powerful presence that completely pulled me in.

Episode 5 especially was a huge highlight for me, when Ji-Yong debates the failures of the justice system with his relentless pursuer, investigator Jo Heon. That’s where the massive conflict between morality, the law, and the question of what’s actually right or wrong really explodes into the open. Moments like that make Vigilante more than just another action revenge thriller. And on top of that, it was really cool seeing “The Professor” (Yoo Ji-tae) from Money Heist: Korea in such a badass role here.

And Nam Joo-hyuk as Vigilante? For his first real action role, he absolutely kills it — intense, convincing, and effortlessly cool. The fight scenes feel raw and tense, and the confrontations with the criminals are shot in a really dark, gritty way. Technically, the whole production looks top-notch — cinematography, music, editing, everything works. The strong supporting cast also helps make this webtoon adaptation a success.

Bottom line: if you’re looking for a K-drama outside the endless wave of romance shows, definitely give this one a shot. Dark, thrilling, and with real depth.

I'll keep this brief

Don't be put off by the low MDL rating. This drama has one of the highest ratings I've seen on Douban - an opening 8 - which reflects its subtle and sophisticated humour. Personally, I love Lawrence Wang/Wang Xiao, and he delivers a wonderfully understated performance in this likeable comedy. In what could have been over the top slapstick, he offers something much more alluring - genuine vulnerability and not-knowing ness. He demonstrates a deep grasp of the principle of "non-doing", and while being clueless about how to solve the cases, somehow allows circumstances and colleagues to nevertheless deliver winning results. As is often the case with c-drama, there are much deeper currents and explorations in something which looks simple at a surface level. I loved all the characters, who were individual and quirky enough to carry the satirical take on stock crime drama characters (the unhinged big shot CEO and the dumb thugs for e.g.). The soundtrack is also amazing! If you want something fun. light, engaging with great acting, I really encourage you to have a look at this drama.

Perfect disguise

I’ve been reading reviews on here and I don’t understand the people giving this 10/10
This show had the potential to be one of the best shows of the year but oh damn, both the romance and politics weren’t fully developed so it was a just half baked for both
What happens to PM, one of the main characters and his character is just taken off screen with no clear explanation as to the consequences of his actions, FL nails don’t do her character justice considering the number of times they were shown, ML always has one look as if he’s smirking
I genuinely don’t get the hype with such a confusing story line. Both leads look good though, props to them
