the way they are clearly a stressful cp but somehow the watching experience is not actually that stressful? usually i'm the type of viewer who hates feeling anxious so i watch stressful parts in 2x speed but somehow here i never once felt the need to do so... maybe because no third party is actually doing stressful things to their relationship instead they are being silly by making it difficult for themselves so you actually don't take them that seriously as a watcher because you know they'll be fine again next ep lol
what actually stayed with me the most after having watched the whole drama was the great portrayal of intimacy and i don't just mean physical but also emotional. that's what really makes a good cp in my opinion because without it the romance always feels kinda shallow to me but here they really did it so well like it feels so believable
the way i keep feeling sry for the guy who's supposed to be the black flag like boy get out of here you actually deserve better than this constant emotional torture
can p'dan just go away like please there need to be some boundaries... but no wonder tbh little jane truly has no talent at all when it comes to handling human relationships
the way the relationship between ting yun and madam yu ended up being the most interesting one in the end instead of the main cp who kinda lost their spark after returning to the capital
surprised because this was so much better than i expected from the reviews it really reminded me of the golden days of kdrama like it was genuinely just a good story with a touch of supernatural-ness. i feel like nowadays they have to make everything so realistic but i really miss when they just let a story be a story. like i just want a fun time that's why fiction exists and not everything has to be a realistic story to be a good story i guess i just really miss peak era of kdrama & this was such a suprisingly good find so definitely don't let reviews deter you from giving it a watch ^^
it seemed so promising at first but towards the end it really got lackluster especially the main cp. like the setup in the first 2 eps was so good and it almost seemed like we could've gotten some exciting chemistry but tell me why they suddenly turned into a boring cp where it wasn't even convincing that they are in love now... i dunno it's not like it was bad either but it somehow just feels flat 2nd cp definitely stole the show if only they had gotten more screentime so their story could've been developed more
i'm pretty sure it was honestly if they really have to use ai intros why can't they just make it more of a drawn/painting style because the more realistic the stranger it looks... i dunno those ai generated versions of the actors always weird me out
started out really good (like the beginning was so great and not your typical setup which made it super fun); the middle part was alright but the pacing definitely became a bit slower; kinda fell apart at the end and i watched at 2x speed (my reaction in general was just *sigh* what was the reason for this *sigh* what is this supposed to portray... like you have to give me a reason for the stuff that is going down to actually matter but i was just thinking the whole time that this is kinda stupid and unnecessary)
this was so much better than i expected from reading reviews/comments honestly the story is solid and 8 eps are just the right length. both the main cp and the side pairing have great chemistry. and the age gap... well let me just say it's a very sexy age gap
for anyone curious about the AI usage... AI footage is only used in order to visualize the setup of the murder case for the viewers. here's how the show actually works: the players sit around a discussion table and each get a file with information. they have to assume the described identy while trying to figure out who among them is the murderer during several rounds where hints are slowly revealed. for example those hints could be cctv footage which in this case of course was AI generated for the specific setup. at the end of the case the viewers get a short AI generated montage of the whole story and how it actually happend.

it definitely stands out among similar stories with its' unseriousness like the humor is just top-tier
