Where does that leave me?
We are so back, because I am, for once, actually finishing shows in one go. I don’t even know if this is fully out yet, but it is for vip so I downloaded it for my plane ride. I would give it an 8 (8.3) out of 10, and I am going to say what I liked, what I didn’t, and then do an episode overview, so let's run it.
Okay, starting off strong with our actors. I am currently still in the air, so I can’t look up the actors' names, but genuine props to these two sexy ass men. Just phenomenal acting all around. Whether that be their love story, the crime plot, all of it was really good because of them. And they have officially raised my standards for Korean BL. If you look at any of my reviews, you know I do not watch Korean BL at all and am a Thai BL girlie (hence me on a flight back from Taipei and in turn Bangkok), because the Korean BLs, either they have the worst chemistry ever OR THEY PECK ONCE AND THE REST OF THE SHOW IS A HARD WATCH. But these two did really well, especially with their kissing and their two sex scenes. Truthfully, I am very impressed, so good job to them. (ALSO, we did not use our height difference enough; I am irritated as fuck, irritated as fuck).
I also quite enjoyed the connected cases. I thought it was really easy to follow while still staying entertaining, so that was also a really good job. They gave us everything and didn’t randomly introduce characters last minute, so I mean, once again, good on them; love to see these plots non-convoluted and actually interesting.
On more stuff I liked. This first thing is lowkey so random and bullshit, but it still stood out to me as something I enjoyed: the slants at the end of the episodes. Like, I know that's so weird and random, and it just signals the end of the episode, but I actually really enjoyed that, like, oh my god. Another thing I am very much a slut for was when they were talking about the cases, and they were actually in them and reenacting them. God, that was great, oh my god.
Regarding things I didn’t like, the main thing was the romance building. See, I expected it to be bad because every single mystery BL or crime center BL has the worst romance building ever. But despite this, I am still ultimately disappointed, because I quite enjoyed our couple. But I guess it’s whatever.
On the topic of romance, these MOTHER FUCKERS ARE SO TOXIC, more specifically big daddy. God, he is like irritatingly toxic too, and in some parts it wasn’t even hot; it was just pissing me off. Also a lot of forced kissing and forcing himself onto the other guy (even though the other guy was into it after the 1st one). I feel like they could’ve pushed back their sex scenes or something so it didn’t feel out of the blue and random. But yeah.
Next up, with things I didn’t like, I’m gonna say plot holes, or I am sorry, irrelevant ideas. The case with the lady who killed her husband. What did that have to do with anything? I am actually so lost. I mean, maybe it was to get the audience’s attention on the son, but also it was just very irrelevant; I don’t know. I feel like they could have done more with that because it was quite interesting. (This is also loosely based on this topic, but this whole show is a conflict of interest lmao; every last case the two of them have a conflict of interest with). THE UNCLE was another plot hole that could’ve been greatness. Like, oh, I know they sent him to jail, but that felt almost too easy and overall irrelevant to the plot.
Also not really the biggest fan of the, I don’t know if it's AI or CGI, but it's sprinkled in here pretty randomly, and lowkey takes you all the way out of the show, so they need to cool the fuck down on that shit, oh my god.
And finally, for things I was not very fond of, was the ending. We spent what, 9, 10 episodes building up to this shit; we got the reveal with the son, which I very much enjoyed, and then the story folded and they are like, oh, we arrested everyone! Like what? I need my clarity, my revenge; I want to see them being taken away in handcuffs, not just AI. And their whole getting into a relationship pissed me off, silly. Like why did that even feel rushed? Girl bye. ALSO, did we ever find out if Lee's dad was innocent or what? They should have made that more clear.
Episode overview time!!! Just funny shit I have written in the notes app about this show. Episode 1: “Lowkey about to miss my layover in Taipei because my Bangkok flight is delayed but you know at least I have Korean bl...hopefully these two aren't awkward kissers I beg.” Episode 2: “Bitch, what the fuck was that? HELLLOOO???? Why did we start choking him out? I am so lost, and why did we kiss him if we hate him? AH NAH. That's a lawsuit incoming, but we aren't locked in enough. Nah, the whole police department coming down if this was me. Lee, step your shit up, dude.” Episode 3: “They need me on this team, I swear to god. Inspector a bitch for the love of the game. Like I need a really good reason for you not to like Lee, that's not he's the son of a murderer because what does that have to do with him, I'm confused?” I now understand lmao. Episode 5: “Lee just got stabbed, but I really couldn't take it seriously because it was the music that they played in the sex scene of my stubborn so I thought they were about to fuck, but he just got stabbed.” Episode 7: “We got a random half-ass sex scene thrown at the start because Lee likes poking the emotionally unstable bear with a flaming dildo dude.” Episode 8: “Also, I don't know why we are making this a big deal. He made it very clear that he hated you and wanted you gone, and you didn't suspect why? Like, he made it clear that he hated you because you are a murderer's son; you ever wonder why? We lack common sense and it shows. I am impressed we have both made it this far in the world with this little common sense. I do wish that he was the evil lady's son; that would have been a fire fucking twist, oh my god.” Episode 9: “Once again, they need me on this team pronto. But yeah, the director coming to his house to choke him out was ACTUALLY CRAZY.”
Yeah. It’s a short watch, so I would say check it out. The romance building is ass, but it’s still enjoyable because the plot is very continuous. Okay bye!
