Normally, vertical series just aren't good. They normally have very rushed pacing; the story is choppy, and the script is normally convoluted. The acting is usually meh as well, and the series are given no room for any real character development.

This series had all of those problems, but it was also interesting enough to keep me invested in the story and not counting down the episodes till it was over. A first for me when it comes to a vertical series. The acting also wasn't that bad. With this kind of plot combined with the relationship drama, it really needed to be a regular-length series.

There were some very confusing moments as well that I felt needed a little more explanation, such as why Yun Yeong Won thought it was a good idea to go to the wedding, and who the weird random guy was that was stalking him at the beginning? The guy showed up like an admin in a video game to fix a problem you're having mid-play session, and it was confusing.
