I am shocked at the reviews.

TW// mentions of sexual assault and force, mature themes

To start off, I would like to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the story and acting in this drama. It's short and straight to the point. What made me dislike this show were the explicit scenes. I am surprised I don't see more people talking about this, most are saying how it was hot. I found the explicit scenes very forceful, to say the least. I read other comments saying "the sex scenes were about lust and desire and that's what made it hot." Quite literally every explicit scene in the show, whether it was a fantasy or not, somebody was being forced. The one between the two main haracters absolutely disturbed me. The writer forced himself on the college boy despite the boy saying no multiple times, even slapping the writer. The writer just pushed him on the table and forces him... It would be different if that scene was supposed to be seen as sexual assault or something, but it's not. It's seen as hot and steamy, the reviews proving my point. I find it quite concerning the number of people saying they were turned on or got off to this show. You don't have to agree with me but the explicit scenes really put me off considering they were portrayed as hot and not as assault.
