Kinda good, kinda bad

This k-drama is a rollercoaster of emotions and quality of plot.

The first ep was probably the worst in my opinion. The way they meet, the fact that they "fall in love at first sight", the way they become obsessed with each other??? That whole part was very strange, a bit like the typical cliché romance that a lot of k-dramas like to focus on. Their relationship doesn't get any better though, with them always going back and forth between liking and hating, wanting to be together and wanting to be alone, just a mess in general.

I see a lot of people hating on the ending, and I'd have to agree. The whole story was her realizing that he's not good for her and that she's happier when she's not thinking about him, but at the end she just jumps into his arms like nothing happened. Of course I was happy seeing them together, but I would have prefered if there was more learning/apologizing/realizing their feeling before they got together.

Yes, the story is very unrealistic and their relationship is very toxic, but I think there are some positives about this drama:
•The side couples: The fact that they included a queer couple makes me so happy. And the way they portraid them not wanting to ruin their friendship but at the same time wanting to express their feeling toward each other was so beautiful. 10/10 for that

•The cinematography: There were some scenes that were so beautifully shot that it made me want to eep watching. Also the fact that they never showed the ex-boyfriend / ex-girlfriend full frontal face and only shots of parts of their faces was genious, and such a small detail that I think maked a huge difference

•The acting: As bad as the story can be, the actors portraied it so well. It was almost lie you were living the story with them besides them

•SOME parts of their relationship: yes, it was toxic. yes, it was messy. But there were some parts of their story that made me root for them. The more gentle, intimate scenes between them were the refreshing parts of the plot.

Do I recommend? If you like cliché romance, yes. If you hate clichés, don't bother watching it

MUST WATCH

Another amazing action packed k-drama full of great actors, beautiful cinematography and great music.

The story may begin very slow, showing us why she's gonna get revenge on her father's death, but then the story goes full speed and gets you hooked on every single episode. I was always on the edge on my chair due to all the plot twists, the parts of her story that we didn't know of, with the new characters coming in, it just makes you wonder what else is gonna happen and how they're gonna fix what is happening.

Of course, some parts of the story can be unrealistic (people getting stabed but only the main characters dont die, her being able to fight hunderds of men alone, etc), but the story makes you forget all that and makes you focus your attention on their lives and her revenge.

10/10 recommend
