A cop and assassin BL...that irked me so much because of dumb choices from characters

Not going to lie, if at first I was intrigued by the premise of this BL with its dark atmosphere and characters backgrounds (one of the lead being an assassin and the other a police officer), it ended up strongly disappointing me with all the story plot holes and characters illogical choices.

Indeed, I could not get onboard at all with what the series was trying to sell me. It seems that the police officer had not even half a neuron functioning, as well as very little physical skills. How he got his job might be the biggest mystery of it all. Strangely enough, despite the short length of the episodes, the pace also felt slow to me.

The only part that I can say I truly enjoyed was the hot boss assassin, played by very charismatic Baek Dong Hyeon. He does not have a lot of dramas under his bell (being apparently more a South Korean musical and stage actor), but I truly hope to see him more on screen works in the future.

I would not recommend this as it frustrated me to no end with how unconvincing both the story and the acting felt to me. There were some many bad police choices and stupid criminal moves...I guess the script was leveling the playing field with characters on both sides feeling lacking functional brain cells, especially the leads...
