Absolutely not what I expected

I didn't know what to expect going into this movie but I was still pleasantly surprised. Not only is the approach to the topic of bdsm a really interesting one but also the cast fit their roles super well, in my opinion.
First of all, I generally love Lee Joonyoung as an actor, he's brilliant in so many different roles. Second, Seohyun did an amazing job portraying her character and the development of it.

I've watched this movie so many times just because I really enjoy it and I won't ever get bored of it.

For anyone who cares, here's what I wrote on letterboxd about it last year:

I've actually watched this a few times already and I really like it. I went in with super low expectations because how well can a Korean movie cover the topic of bdsm? Well, it can do a lot better then I thought. It showed a side of bdsm and kink outside of the sexual realm, which is a nice breath of fresh air. Of course, it was still somewhat "family-friendly" but that isn't surprising. I did appreciate the more subtle nature of some of the scenes and some were definitely more overt with their coverage of the topic at hand.

Short and sweet drama

Without giving any spoilers, if you're looking for a drama with both a cute storyline and two cute couples, this one is it. It's nothing super dramatic or suspenseful but I think it's quite well produced. I also really liked the two pairings and their dynamics.
Considering the short length with 8 episodes at 30 minutes each, I still had enough time to get invested in the two couples, although the plot doesn't go too much into depth. In this case, I think that's a good thing because it doesn't start any major plot lines without finishing them which often frustrates me with other dramas. The ending ties mostly everything together nicely, though I could see some opportunities for a second season or a spin-off.

Overall a good watch and I would totally watch it again.
