I’ll keep it short (I love Soo Hyun)
I’m unsure how to rate this show. The romance itself was too basic and boring for my taste but the plot was intriguing and I liked the twists and turns (though debatable if they even made sense, still, it kept me watching).
Daon was boring. He was the typical audience self-insert, blank paper, passive, spineless character that 3 guys fell madly in love with for no reason. His main LI was a puppy-dog-eyed stereotype that chased him with a smile regardless of anything.
If that was all there was to the show I wouldn’t have given it more that 5 starts but the other two characters really kept me on a leash! Psycho-Jaemin definitely added some much needed spice to the bland romance. Was he a stereotypical psycho? Maybe…but the twists did make him interesting even though I think that they could’ve dived into his psychology a little more.
Now on to my favorite boy, the star of the show - Soo Hyun! He was the main reason I was glued to the screen. He was the only character that felt real bc he was flawed, uncomfortable, dumb and very, very human. He had issues, serious ones but also the most potential for character development. He was confused and desperate and unfortunately made every mistake he could‘ve possibly made but at the end of the show he did come to the right conclusion. He didn’t get the guy but he did grow by realising that the things he had been doing weren’t good and apologized for everything.
It makes me wonder what could‘ve been if Soo Hyun was the main LI instead of Seon Hyeon. How his character development would‘ve been handled and how he and Daon would‘ve tried to mend their wounds. I’m clearly biased though. I love complicated character relationships and I love pining, redemptions acts and second chance romances. I also find Soo Hyun the most interesting character in the show.
