Could have been great

Like alot of other reviews I agree this shouldn't have been jammed into 6 episodes I feel like doing so really ruined the story value. The idea overall is really good and the potential relationships that show themselves would have been captivating to watch but instead of seeing how they could develop with conflict and drama we get a watered down version and have to fill in so many blanks ourselves its insane. This could have easily been a 13 episode series with potential for more than that we still don't get a clear answer on whats going on with Sun's father which should have been at least the main thing the series tied up but instead its dangling like what happens where did that money come from?!? We have no idea. I think overall I'm just disappointed because the trailers looked so good and had such depth but then you watch the series and feel like you got scammed.

Should have been named Forgettable Night

So as someone that doesn't usually leave reviews when I don't enjoy something this is new for me. But I can't understand how this still has a user rating of almost 7 stars?!? Like HOW?! If you just want a quick should you watch it or no the answer is NO! don't waist your time on this awful drama you are not missing out you can get the highlights from youtube if you want to see a certain scene from the book. But trust me this drama should be cancelled its terrible across the board. Lets get into why I didn't like it what could make it better and why I won't be continuing it.

Story:

The basic storyline is not bad having a passionate and wild bdsm night with a stranger really could have made an amazing story and with a twist of mafia how could you not be drawn in. However from the get go it was lack-luster I had hoped from the trailer that it would be well done and something that shows a better representation of BDSM and relationships. But what we ended up with was a watered down version of someones idea of good torture prawn? Either way if you have read anything of the translation of the books you will know that the night they had together was alot more intense and laid out then the hysterical representation done in this drama. From the terrible placement of bdsm gear to not knowing how to even use it the whole night is laughable at best it really should be called 'Forgettable Night' because no one wants to remember that monstrosity!

How could it be better then... well first of all put time and effort into learning from people in the bdsm community about how things work and why. Don't do a quick google search and think you know everything because a watpad fanfiction told you so. The story itself has serious potential to have done very well if it had been handled correctly. Now before everyone comes for me saying dramas can't shoot prawn thats not what I'm talking about you can do alot of great angles and hides etc to draw erotic tension between characters and change mood for scenes even with actors completely clothed. You also can do alot of workshops with actors to help get them comfortable working together or touching eachother in general all of these things are what make dramas good. Also its a book thats main storyline comes from a one night stand you would expect this to be heavier on the steamy, erotic and kink side instead of this weird awkward highschool kid dance we got going on.

Acting:

I think they could have done a better job hunting down the cast I'm not saying who they picked is awful but they don't seem to have real chemistry and everything feels uncomfortably forced or laughably bad. I don't know if its because they are to close in height or looks but it just doesn't feel mafia at all its more like one is playing dressup. The scenes with any kind of kissing or play tend to fall flat I mean lets not forget the faces made on that supposed 'unforgettable night' so bad so very bad.. I don't know if the actors were not told beforehand the kind of scenes and content that where going to be included or if they maybe thought it would not be included for some reason but it all just seems very uncomfortable for all parties involved. I think this does come down to the fact they maybe needed more workshops or better direction etc its hard to tell for sure but I can't possibly stomach trying to watch anymore of this awful work.

Music:

Not much to really say here is okay-ish but scenes that need it kind of feel like it wasn't the right mood or sound for what was happening and the opening closing really doesnt stand out at all for me.

Rewatch Value :Nill don't waste your time watching it even once check out the clips on youtube instead if you have something in the books you really are hoping is in the drama.

Overall:

I was really disappointed to see that they did this story so badly, I don't know if they were trying to rush it because Kinnporsche was being aired and they wanted to run with the desire for more mafia BL and get views or what? I really don't know but even if you have not seen Kinnporsche and have nothing similar to compare this BL to its a very poorly done and its better to forget it then give it the time of day this one needs to be laid to rest and never see the light of the internet again its just so bad...laughably so.
