It doesn't need romance

Omg! First of all! How the heck is Soo joong-ki looking so young in here!
Anyway, the story was pretty interesting in beginning. Loved Joong ki's innocent character. The story was flowing along interestly and pretty good showing the male lead's hardships. I was hoping it would continue that way. However, along came the female lead. And the story got dulled and became your boring ol' korean "romance" drama. Like can't we just get a good korean movie without turning it into romance?
Yeah, suddenly the story just focused on this girl and how they fell in love. BORING!
The story just became your typical korean love drama! 💔

Not Sure why this drama got such a high rating ?

When I read the synopsis for this drama, it sounded really interesting. However, the actual drama did not deliver.
Characters were boring, especially the ML (Yeo Woon).
Chemistry? There was no chemistry. It's like, boom! Both just started liking each other. Especially for MC (Tae Myung). I don’t see how MC could have fallen for ML. There was really nothing special about ML that would make him fall for him. Other than maybe he's handsome lol!
The idea of the "system" MC was stuck with was confusing. Till the very end, nothing was explained why he got transported. Or who was the guy that transported MC. The ending felt sort of rushed. Nothing really got explained.

Interesting, but boring

I was glued onto this drama at the start of episodes 1-5. Then it got boring. The stories of each person just kept getting less, and less interesting.

Also, from what I heard, Jing Bo Ran was supposed to play 5 different characters. Each with different personalities.
...However, all the identities he took all had the same personalities with the same style and looks, except for when he had longer hair as one of his identity.
I felt that a few scenes were a bit scripted, and you already could predict what would happen next...
For example, the part where the ML came out after taking the exam for his half brother. All the examines walked out and the FL's dad took a picture of her as she was walking out. You could tell that in that scene he would take the photo and then capture the ML in the background. Lol.
Another predictable, scripted scene was towards the end where they were all being rocked on the boat. Of course, so obvious that the FL would fall into the water and ML would jumped in after her.
There were no twists. Plot slowed down after episode 5. The drama got boring afterwards.

Overall, it started out strong but weak ending. The ending was so overly dramatic.

There's an Easter egg ep, but I skipped it. Lol

IT'S BL, NOT bromance

....Hints are all over the place that this is purely BL! So, if you still think this drama is only "bromance," you are lost!
This got to be the best BL adaptation of 2023 and also one of the best bl I have watched!
All the actors and actresses 100% match their character in the story so much! Zhang Jiong played his character, Su yu, so well. He nailed it! 👏 Even better than Timmy who played Su yu/Bai Lou Yin in the 2016 version.
Zhang Jiong was able to capture every personality of his character!
I LOVED ML and MC's bickering! The chemistry was awsome! We got to see a lot more scenes from the novel making the drama more interesting and heart warming! Hopefully for season 2 with our two lovely Zhang Jiong and Xu Bin returning!🙏❤️

BORING

First episode, we got all these characters thrown out on us. Onto the 4th episode, still a bunch of characters without any background story. I mean, you know what their role is, but don't know who they are. Which left viewers with no connection with anyone of these characters.
Plot was all over. They didn't do a good job of showing the flashbacks. Making it confusing without much to differentiate between the past and the present.
Episode 1-4 just all about drugs and human trafficking. So boring how they took up 4 episodes on just that.
I don’t think this will have a season 2. Lol
