I knew it was supposed to be toxic, but whew. Good music and decent acting, though
good music, toxic storyline/character, but you know that going in. Still, this is a unique depiction of toxic that seems like they found the handbook on how to create a textbook abuser in a highly abusive relationship in the real world, filched it right off a case worker's desk, and decided to try and check ALL the boxes (except physical b/c that would be too obvious). and the behavior continues even after we'd expect to see a redemption arc and the relationship turn healthy.
I will give them credit for getting verbal go-ahead from the male lead, though. That happens depressingly less often than it should in BL, so I'll give you a point for that.
Oh and the plot holes? There are more holes than plot at this rate, yet that, too, you should come in knowing to expect. I was a little too naive on that one.
Did I say exceptionally good music? Like I haven't paid this much attention to music in a drama, maybe ever, and the fact that it's for a drama I don't like, is all the more impressive.
