Okay… it suckered me right in

I am shocked to be sitting on the other side of a J-Drama and writing a positive review, but here we are.

This is a WILD ride. It is part psychological thriller, part romance. The ML is truly a red flag (run, girl, run) but he keeps you hooked every episode. In fact, this whole
show keeps you hooked. Our leads have incredible chemistry, and their scenes can make you swoon or send shivers down your spine. Our ML acted his role impeccably, truly playing the role of a guy who needs a heck of a lot of therapy.

But his development was good, and I’ll give the writers that. Same for our FL. Loved where her character was at the end of the show. Also thankful for that happy ending after that angst.

It was captivating and gritty. Despite any of its flaws, it delivers a production quality more reminiscent of what we see from Korea and China. The cinematography is peek, the writing is better than what we normally see in these, the styling is better, and the OST is amazing.

In a long format show, I couldn’t handle our ML, but I went into these nine episodes knowing what was ahead. I actually could have had a few more episodes to be honest. For some reason, this just worked for me.

If you like gritty, toxic love, it’s worth the watch.
