A realistic example of enemies to lovers relationship

This series is a great model of what a professional boyslove drama is.
Actually, there are a lot of interesting points in this series which make it kinda special among the other bl dramas you can watch..
The fact that each character is important because they make each other ones evolve in their own life is pretty accurate and that’s why this series is so realistic.
On my first time watching this show, I didn’t really like the character of Nuea because I felt like he was too involved in the life of Mark and it makes me feel a bit uncomfortable.. But after rewatching it, I think he is one of my favourite characters because of that actually.. His character shows a side of people in love’s personality that is obviously relatable in real life.. Moreover, I assume that is way of thinking is the healthiest among all of the other character’s mindset.
The other character that I wanted to talk about is Mark.. I despite the fact that he eventually forgave Vee, but in the other hand I understand his choice because of his personality.. The actor War who played his role is so talented in every aspects, and is able all along the story to make the audience feels his character’s emotions and troubles..
Finally, I wanted to highlight an honorable mention to the actress who played Vee’s ex girlfriend, because she made me appreciate her, then pity her, then hate her and eventually forgive her.. Her acting was so good and I think everyone can tell.
Concerning the story, I think it portrays quite well how a toxic (at least in the beginning) but deep love relationship can occur and even if there’s some lack in the plot (like the fact that some side characters aren’t enough developed or else), the story is still great and not unreasonable.
In my opinion, the chosen ost were really useful and absolutely not meaningless, especially during the lovely and unhappy scenes..
In a nutshell, this BL series is a must to watch if you want to have some experience in the field, and it wouldn’t seem ludicrous if you want to watch it as a first BL to lay the foundations of your new trip in the world of the boysloves :)

I couldn’t even bring me to finish the second episode..

2 stars for the cast only, who couldn’t even bring a real acting in this series bc of the horrible plot and screenwriting of this whole mess!

The audio, the editing and the camera work were awful, and I’m not even adding the huge amount of unnecessary dialogues between side characters, drastically decreasing the whole show’s attractiveness…

I really felt like I was watching a BL series of 5 years ago, when they didn’t even have enough budget to make a movie and still make a whole series with so little.. I couldn’t even watch 5 minutes without skipping the 3 next minutes or I’d be dead bored..

After all very disappointing ! Don’t waste your time on this one yall !!!

Intrigued and not disappointed !

First of all, I watched this series after a long time without watching any Kbl and BL in general because the lack of budget in this field and the low quality series i had watched made me drop the genre for a while.

What was my surprise when I found out this series exist, and how much more surprising to see that this can actually be considered like real cinema !

The film direction and the editing are crazily great, i can’t remember the last time i watched a show with such great choices of shots and camera work ! I don’t think I know other works directed by this show’s director, but now i want to discover more because - WOW ! Fabulous job (especially the last episode) !

The storytelling is very interesting too, the way to share informations to the spectators in this series is mostly original, even when the plot is as complicated as this one, it works out perfectly and i must admit that the screenwriter did an awesome job to make this understandable AND enjoyable ! When you think you know what might happen, you just end even more enraptured in the story because it’s not what you expected but it works anyway.

Moreover, the characters personalities are not the plain old stuff we can watch in other Kbl, and that’s why this might be one of my favorite ! Not to mention the cast who delivered a fantastic performance during the whole show, overflowing of the right emotions every time needed !

The only shortcoming i could think of would be the musics used, that i think were either too deeply rooted in the infamous korean romcom style or just here to amplified the already established feelings of some scenes, when it didn’t really need to be.

I saw some comments mentioning a deus ex machina at the end, and though i can understand why they think the end might be coming out of nowhere, I think the kind of confusing setting and the whole video game trope allowed the diegesis of the story to have some resolution like the one a lot of viewers criticised so much. I mean, i don’t think we can even know the real truth of this ending because of the two different universe this series is including, and i might be wrong but i think it’s exactly what the director and the screenwriter wanted so I’m assuming this “deus ex machina” thing mentioned is actually the only reasonable ending we could have expected (if we wanted a happy ending that is).

Anyways, it feels so refreshing to see that this kind of quality stuff is possible even in a field that can’t have the same budget or the same amount of public as heterosexual content ! Good job on this one, I’m waiting for your next work director ! :)
