It's burning my eyes but I cannot look away

This show has two major flaws:
1. Lack of positive female characters - I mean, who am I supposed to relate to and root for?
2. The writer's foolish ways of fooling the viewers

I can applaud them for not turning it into a redemption story for trash characters; the story briefly had me afraid of it happening.

Some ships are not what anyone would expect but the matches later makes sense; even the ones that had me cringing to the max.

The plot twists (as expected from the writer of Penthouse) did not disappoint at first BUT be prepared to feel fooled by fools.

Many people didn't like the acting but it was good enough for me. Especially Min Do Hyuk, Mone, and Um Ki Joon's character. I love Guem Ra Hee's actress but this role isn't her best imo.

Music and production was good overall but the VFX were so bad that it made me laugh: it's worth a dishonorable mention lol.

The biggest disappointment was how little Bang Dami's character & story matters in the first season; the only ones I cared about. Maybe they'll do right by her in season 2.

You may get a good laugh out of it at best or give yourself a mild injury by face-palmming too hard at worst.

It's worth a watch if you've got time and have nothing better to watch.
