The kind of show you'll forget about by the end of the week

This show starts out pretty fun. We've got a pretty classic premise: spoiled rich kid forced to live with a bodyguard he doesn't want, but overtime his heart softens and they learn to love each other. Sounds like a good show, right?

Well -- it really is fun in the beginning. Sun is trying his best to keep Sky out of danger, meanwhile Sky is trying his best to be a reckless, impulsive college student. Sky doesn't want it out to the world that his father is a mob boss, so Sun has to pretend to be his distant cousin and fellow college student, despite having no clue how to relate to other kids his age. It's a nice funny show for the first 5 or so episodes.

Around episode 6 is where the problems come in. I'm not going to give any plot spoilers, but as you'd expect from a show about the son of a mob boss, the stakes get pretty high in the last few episodes. There's a lot more drama. A lot more emotional scenes. And that's a problem because the lead actor just does not have the chops for those scenes. His acting in the last few episodes made me feel like I was watching _The Room._ I'm not trying to be mean here -- it was really _that bad._

So overall, if you are just looking for something fun to watch I'd still recommend this show. Most of the actors are pretty decent, the side couple is really cute, and the beginning is very fun. If you have high standards or if you just don't want to get invested in a show that will probably annoy you by the end -- then skip this one. Do yourself a favor and go watch Where Your Eyes Linger.

Note: I gave the acting 2.5 stars because bad acting is what killed this show. But that actor is fine in the humorous scenes and the rest of the cast were all decent. If it weren't for his problems with the emotional scenes, it'd be a solid 6 for me.

Also the soundtrack slaps. You can skip the show but don't sleep on this soundtrack.
