Enjoyble
Simple story, good production. The chemistry carried the series; the story required a bit more development as it was too short to properly provide background story and character development.The story contains cliché tropes such as miscommunication and petty jealousy. Also, the "an important character gets sick to move the story forward" did the usual cameo.
It's enjoyable, though.

A self-redemption journey
Usually you see self-loathing people escaping through drugs, alcohol, or some form of vice. Here? I can say what a take! You have a main character on a tremendous guilt trip; instead of lashing out, he bottles up all his emotions beyond numbness. But emotions cannot be bottled forever, so, when certain facts come to light, rage takes the driver's seat and sets a course on Revenge Highway.This series has pain, fear, grief, joy, greed, rage, intrigue, loathing, and various characters that provide depth to the story. Trust building between the leads was sweet but layered with intrigue and power plays. The uncle and manager characters did an excellent job diffusing the high tension in the series with their comedic relief.
I was concerned that the story would not wrap up properly with 10 episodes, and more so after the events of episode 9. I was surprised that they were able to tighten everything. Even though this series would have benefited from having several more episodes, it concluded the plot well. The ending left me satisfied and yearning for more.

Engaging
I really enjoy this series. It was quite a journey; it was fun, it was sad, it made me angry, and it had some "huh?" moments that give you pause. The chemistry is on point, and the grandmother character is VIP in my eyes. It is not flawless; I would have loved a bit more character development for the support cast.The world-building was good; the acting was engaging as you could relate with the main cast's struggles. The OST was superb, especially the Tattoo Colour song "Just Still... (have you)".
