Can't Root for a Rapist
I've said it before and will say it again, rapist do not belong in bl. Not as main characters that get happy endings at least. Yes, the chemistry and acting is great. Yet getting someone gang raped and sexually assaulting your love interest is not something that should be normalized. Shiwcasing it in a light manner, never addressing it and giving no consequences to such actions IS normalizing it. To be clear, you can make a character and story dark, that is not what I dislike. It is the way it is of no importance in the story.Was this review helpful to you?
A feel good drama
A comfort drama full of love, friendship, and just the different realities of life. I love that they covered many topics that kdramas especially don't really like to touch on. Yet, it's not an angsty drama, that will fill you up with anxiety, it's still a light watch. The characters are all flawed but that makes them intresting and relatable. I did see people complain about just how many different plotlines there are which makes the storylines a bit underdeveloped, but honestly I didn't even notice that until after I watched. Because at the end of the day, to me, the success of this show wasn't about the logistics but about all the feelings it brings in you.Was this review helpful to you?
Fascinating Watch
I never would have thought that watching people do math and other intellectual problems could be so entertaining. I'm a college dropout so seeing how intelligent those students were was truly fascinating. Loved the competition and the teamwork. Huge respect to every single participant, whether they lost or not, every round was well done. Hyunbin though stole my heart with not only his incredible, and I really mean INCREDIBLE brain, but the way he led with empathy, making sure to encourage his team all the time.Was this review helpful to you?
