American Fan:
I read your "rant" and could feel the passion in your words. I chose not to watch the series. Just my personal preference.
This is honestly one of the main reasons I am glad I found this club. Before I had no where or no one to vent to or get excited over a series because my friends either don't watch as much BLs or only watch K-dramas, so this is like my safe space to just voice my opinions. I do voice my opinions in comment sections on other platforms but they are friendly and more family like so just pure jokes and we make bets with the reward of saying "I told you so", when we disagree; the memes are also good lol. I avoid the MDL comments though I can't bother to argue here as well because I argue on a daily basis in all my classes, that is literally my career path so I need the BL space to be a safe haven away from my everyday activities. This club is truly a blessing.
I don't want to encourage you not to watch Playboyy the series because even though I did not like it you may like it, because if I had listened to the reviews on Secret Crush on You I would not have found one of my fav series, so maybe watch in your down time when you have nothing else to watch (which is very unlikely in this age of never ending BL releases).
