Educational to a degree
Before you begin watching this series, you must know that it is rated 18+ for a reason. The first episode bares all quite literally. However, the rest of the episodes are somewhat milder with some explicit scenes in between.The two main female leads host a podcast that deals with talking about sex from the female perspective. It also includes discussion on periods and premenstrual syndrome. Some of the information discussed in the show is good but I didn't find it exceptionally new. There was potential but it missed covering aspects like those who have never had sex to begin with. Most of it is related to those who have been having sex for a long time and issues they have faced. The series also tries to deal with healthy attitudes towards the discussion of sex with partners. Again it seemed to miss the opportunity to teach men explicitly to listen to their female partners which a lot of men don't seem to grasp very well or don't think they need to. They do cover healthy partnerships but they could have driven the point across further.
It's a good show to watch for conservative audiences that don't have much access to information related to sex. But it cannot be considered an all inclusive show about sex education. It's better to pick sex ed websites/videos and not entirely depend on such a show. It just discusses a range of topics that one can then further research into.
Although the plot is good, the characters are good, there were at least two scenarios presented without any real advice given. A lot of the advice seekers were left on read. I'm not sure why. In any case, it's not a boring show. Pacing is good. Good for a one time watch. I watched it hoping to learn some new information and have rated it accordingly.

A show we needed
This show was a pleasant surprise to find — beneath a raunchy premise, is a drama that 100% empowers women. It's about affirming women and validating their desires, their choices, and their refusals.The friendship between Mina and Heejae is so sweet, and they went just fleshed out enough in this drama's short runtime, which I can appreciate. I think Woohee and Hani were incredibly charming picks for our leads, as they both just give great energy on screen.
Overall, this show was surprisingly progressive, advocating for safety, for pride over guilt, and for really having a good relationship with one's own body. We live in a world ruled by male gaze that prioritizes male desire, and watching this show is such a healthy step for women to let go of the shame and guilt that's forced upon us. A great watch!

Oh for a Mr.Kang in my life…..
This short and snappy little series was perfection.all the leads were brilliant actors (definitely shouldn’t be saying this but the ML bodies………oof!). So refreshing to have such open and frank discussions on sex, especially from S.Korea -not their regular take at all, but it was so well done, never sleazy in any way and i learned a few things I didn’t know.The sex scenes -and there were plenty - were all in relation to the storyline and never came across as being there just for the sake of it. As i said in the headline special mention must be given to Mr.Kang , Park Sun Ho played his role sublimely, dont think i’ll ever forget the car lovemaking scene, it bordered on art.All in all this series brought a beaming smile with every episode , not a thing that i experience often.everyone over 18 should watch this, its entertaining, its informative, its beautiful sex scenes are thrilling .hoping there will be a second season, will definitely be re watching the first season, no prizes for guessing why!enjoy!Was this review helpful to you?
Raunchy romance sex comedy drama
Now that's the real shocker. A kdrama that's not afraid to go down the R-rated road!It's somehow softcore porn and yet very romantic at the same time, which I guess only a kdrama could pull off, as it has all the usual tropes you'd expect and is one through and through... except a lot more sexually explicit. Is it the beginning of a new subgenre?
It's pretty good, and educational too. I liked how frank the characters were, both to themselves and to others in their lives. All the leads were great, but the audio editing was rough. Script had some issues too.
It moves at a brisk pace and has no real downtime typical of the genre. Very much enjoyable.
For those annoyed that most kdrama characters seem to be wearing chastity belts, then this is the one for you I guess? A welcome variation, if not a bit too basic overall.

Real! Raw! Raunchy!
If you're tired of slow burn romances and super corny comedies, look no further than here!This show has plenty of romance and drama mixed in with a lot of laughter and lots of sexual scenes to keep you on your toes (so be careful where and who you watch this around)! It focuses on unlocking women's pleasure and embracing their sexuality in the most realistic, encouraging, and supportive way. There were all sorts of different scenarios and circumstances and I'm sure you could find at least one to relate to which I appreciated. As much as this show might be educating and fun for a more feminine crowd, it's eye-opening and enjoyable for all [mature] audiences!
I loved:
~ the soundtrack - I Shazamed every song I heard and played the opening and ending on repeat
~ the characters - the female leads friendship was super cute and reminded me of my own friends & the male leads were both really considerate and kind, the sides characters were great additions as well
~ the story - I felt like I was a listener of the podcast who got a behind the scenes look into the hosts' lives which was really enjoyable and well done
I would totally rewatch this with my friends someday!

For mature audience only
I love the sex scenes done so naturally by all the actors in this short drama. It's so refreshing to see how the female lead wants, to find her true self after the break-up from her past relationship/// sex toys, dildos etc... I laugh a lot on these scenes esp. when they were shopping for them in the store. Thankful for her beastie introducing them to her. I enjoyed watching all 8 episodes - the plot story about two couples with their views on love and relationship. The person I admire most is In Chan, an ideal boyfriend wanting to fall in love with HeeJae and not just have sex with her. I love the fact that he was willing to wait for her. I think he understood that she did not just want him to be used (on a rebound relationship) by her. She needed time to find herself, love herself and be loved in return. I was happy that they get to meet again. Same with Mi Na, she found her second chance on falling in love after all the casual sex with sex partners and Woo Jae was perfect for her. They were destined to be together. Definitely a 10 for rewatch.Was this review helpful to you?

Sex is the only content here
Many of the reviews claimed it as mature content, well if you ask for my opinion I will say it depends. Depends on how you define that maturity. If sex is the only parameter then yes it's a mature one. But if you level up maturity as a mental one then it is actually not really mature content. Anyone who just passed their teenage, having a sexual relationship is good enough to understand the content of this show. As the name said, the drama starts with some explicit sexual content, which was sure to shock the viewers I believe. But the rest of the drama is not the same. To be honest I did not really like the first 2 episodes that much but I kept watching on a fast-forward mode also the runtime to not long so it was bearable. After 3rd episode, I found things quite interesting.Reading previous reviews and comments I became curious as though the rating is pretty good still some of the reviews suggested it might be a waste of time. Well after completing the show I can’t say so actually. It was good for time to pass. There was a story, won’t say a strong one but yes, the story does exist. But for such mature content, character development is very important I believe. But this drama has little to no character development for any of the leads except Mi Na. In her case at least they tried.
The story revolves around two girls, Hee Jae and Mi Na. One is dating another does not want to have a relationship. And both ended up in a reverse scenario. Both their stories are a classic friends-with-benefits relationship that ends up with being an actual couple. While the character development of Mi Na was good enough considering the short runtime, it was trash in the case of Hee Jae.
Let’s start with her breakup. At first, they portrayed Hee Jae as a conservative one, who can not even discuss with her BF her dissatisfaction in sex, faking it for 5 long years! But still holding it because she had strong feelings for her BF. But now she was determined to break up and the reason and the backstory between them were ambiguous. They portrayed Hyeon Woo as a male chauvinist but they put little to no effort to show how slowly the feeling of Hee Jae for Hyeon Woo faded away due to his negligence and carelessness. Even some small flashbacks would be enough but no. Rather, to get along with the Title they emphasize sexual dissatisfaction which seemed very out of logic and confusing at the same time. How the character of Hee Jae started and then how overnight she became someone who is begging to have sex with Chan made things seriously ridiculous and made the character Hee Jae a very very sallow one.
The story between Chan and Hee Jae is basically a story of two people who are out of love, one (FL) wanted to have sex without love and another (ML) wanted to fall in love again. I understand the theme of the show is Female sexual satisfaction but that doesn’t necessarily need to make the FL an easy one, she was portrayed like she will have sex with anyone, by anyone I meant anyone! She was ready to have sex with the guy from a blind date who in the end refused her due to his mother. What the F**K. then she literally stalked Chan everywhere to have sex! This was annoying to me. I understand she never ever had the feeling to have orgasm so desperately seeking for it. So maybe it was me only, but I didn’t like this concept at all. Even when Chan wanted to get close to her, and get to know each other all she was thinking about was Sex, all the time they spent together reading books, campfire, and drinking she just kept asking when they were gonna have sex. It looked like a maniac to me. If I were Chan, I would feel disgusted for sure. Though at the end of episode 6, she did admit it was the mood that aroused her but I didn’t like the sequences before that.
On the other hand, the story of Mi Na was good and enjoyable compared to the other one. Even though it was short, they showed why she is like this, only considers a good sex partner and fears falling. Though a part of hers desperately seeks someone's care. The story between Mi Na and Woo Jae was also good to watch, though a cliche one, you know what is going to happen still you will find it interesting. Even their kissing scenes were enjoyable. The first one is full of lust and 2nd one is full-on emotion. Liked it actually.
The show conveys that satisfactory sex involves more than just physicality. Touch, communication, and emotional connection are highlighted as crucial elements. While the delivery of this message falls short, it remains an enjoyable aspect of the show. The show offers a nuanced perspective on sexual satisfaction. Despite flaws, it provides an engaging viewing experience.

contrary to theme
In the beginning, it was understood that it is based on physical desires. It is instructive and an attempt has been made to explain things from a woman's point of view. So far everything is correct, but in the end, the whole issue ended by adding a touch of love in it.
This shows that she was not dying for a physical relationship, rather she was looking for her perfect soul mate.
which is contrary to the theme of "physical desire/satisfaction "

Just skip this drama
I tried to ignore the nudity and all and watch it because I thought it's healthy drama about adult topics but no!! This drama is absolute BS, the worst female characters written to be victims by force. Too much nudity that could be skipped and not filmed, some scenes seemed useless to the plot and what's supposed to be educational turned pornographic and over the top, FL fakes everything, a total hypocrite, and she refuses to communicate, only cries and victimize herself it was AWFUL to watch, as usual the ahole male ex only this time he's not the ahole much (he's not the good guy either).Plus is 5 years and 0 org even realistic or just exaggerated??
This drama could be great and educational but writing absolutely ruined it with awful execution and horrible characters
I could write essays about how 3 episodes managed to make my blood boil
If only MDL allowed 0/10 rewatch value!!

Un plaisir non coupable avec un fort pouvoir de communication
Un podcast sur le sexe dirigé par deux femmes dans la trentaine ? C'est le topo de Hit the Spot et il y parvient brillamment.Le plaisir féminin est un sujet parfois sensible, notamment dans des pays encore très conservateurs et traditionnels. La femme et le plaisir ne sont pas franchement des sujets populaires et pourtant ! Hit the Spot joue des coudes et arrive à transmettre suffisamment pour délier quelques pensées et déculpabiliser des femmes qui pourraient se sentir mal à l'idée de vouloir expérimenter de nouvelles choses ou de simplement ressentir du plaisir.
On fait la rencontre de Hee Jae (interprétée par Ahn Hee Yeon) et Mi Na (incarnée par Bae Woo Hee) qui se retrouvent responsables de l'animation d'un podcast sur le sexe. Bien que peu motivées au départ, l'idée d'avoir un mois de congés payés vont les pousser à accepter et elles vont y trouver peut-être un peu plus que ce qu'elles cherchaient, notamment Hee Jae.
Hee Jae est en couple depuis cinq ans avec Hyeon Woo (joué par Choi Woong). Un imbécile égoïste et médisant qui possède un fil de pensées pas si unique : s'il aime alors sa partenaire aussi. Que ce soit au lit ou ailleurs. Pourtant, dès la première émission du podcast, Hee Jae va remettre en question sa vie intime avec Hyeon Woo. Tandis qu'elle tente d'aborder le sujet avec douceur, Hyeon Woo prend la mouche et l'accuse d'être responsable, que si elle n'a pas d'orgasme depuis cinq ans alors c'est sa faute à elle. Dans une société patriarcale, cela ne surprend pas qu'un homme refuse de croire que sa partenaire ne ressent pas de plaisir particulier. Il y a une forme d'ego assez sensible. Ainsi, sans être frileux, le drama aborde dès son premier épisode la question des jouets sexuels et de l'orgasme.
Ce n'est pas difficile de s'attacher ou soutenir Hee Jae dans ses choix. Et ça se ressent que plus encore avec l'arrivée du magnifique Kang In Chan (interprété par Park Sun Ho), un auteur populaire en sexologie. Plutôt que de rendre l'attraction immédiate, Yoon Ra Young laisse les deux protagonistes se rapprocher avec les questions et les besoins de Hee Jae. In Chan est un personnage qui fait palpiter les cœurs. Mon cœur a loupé quelques battements sur certaines scènes ahah.
Hee Jae et In Chan forment un duo brûlant à l'écran, tandis qu'ils explorent chacun des aspects différents dans leur relation jusqu'au moment où leur relation connaît un chamboulement un peu décevant. Si le choix de Hee Jae de prendre du temps pour elle est louable (et entièrement mérité), c'est sur la durée que ça reste déroutant. Elle semblait refuser de faire quoique ce soit après cinq années de relation, on nous la montre ensuite en vacances sur un mois et soudain, In Chan revient avec son magnifique et parfait sourire et la situation se résolve d'un coup, dommage.
De l'autre côté, nous avons Mi Na qui est l'opposée de Hee Jae. Elle aime les relations purement charnelles, les sentiments restent dehors. La façon dont elle gère sa vie est amusante et pleinement assumée. On aime cette femme même sans s'y identifier. Mais derrière son air de femme fatale, on découvre aussi une femme fragile qui connaît un passé douloureux. Cela explique alors ses envies de sexe, mais les problèmes en moins. Jusqu'à l'arrivée de Woo Jae (incarné par Choi Kwang Roy), un homme qui semble bourru, mais sexy comme le diable. Leur relation est à la fois amusante et tendre. Mi Na est une femme touchante qui connaît une part de vulnérabilité et qui décide de l'assumer, ce qui la rend que plus forte à mes yeux.
C'est un drama excellent qui traite de sujets tabous dans certains pays. Un beau message pour les femmes qui ne devraient pas avoir peur d'assumer leur désir ou de ressentir des envies (ou au contraire ne pas avoir envie). Au milieu d'une amitié brillante et solidaire avec des relations intéressantes. J'espère que nous aurons plus de dramas comme celui-ci, abordant fièrement des thématiques fortes qui, aujourd'hui, ne devraient plus faire culpabiliser quiconque.
