A contract killer x cop is such an unusual setup for a BL, and that’s exactly what pulled me in from the first episode. The darker atmosphere, the mystery, and the constant tension between the two leads immediately caught my attention, and their chemistry made every scene together worth watching. Unfortunately, as the story went on, I felt like the writing didn’t fully take advantage of such an interesting premise. Tae Jeong often made impulsive decisions that were hard to believe coming from a police officer, and after a while it became more frustrating than compelling to watch. Seo I Do’s emotional journey was one of the highlights for me, even if his change of heart sometimes felt a little too sudden. My biggest disappointment, though, was the finale. The last episode was incredibly rushed, major conflicts were wrapped up far too quickly, and a few plot developments simply didn’t make much sense, leaving the ending without the emotional impact it should have had. Even with those flaws, I still really enjoyed the series because it dared to do something different from the usual BL formula, and I only wish the execution had been as strong as the idea behind it.
