It all went downhill fast

I am being generous with my scoring. Most of it is because I watched until the end, which is more than I can say for some shows. This one started out with some stilted acting but was compelling and I was looking forward to seeing what would happen next. The problems came early on when the two leads lost my respect. They didn't listen, didn't treat others well, had zero self-control, and didn't admit to being in the wrong most of the time even though they were. Basically, they were selfish, and it got to the point where I started liking the bad guys better, wishing they got their way in the end instead of giving it to people who didn't deserve it. There was also an unexpected plot twist that I didn't agree with at all. Lastly, I did not like the way they had the main LGBT character speak about himself. Saying things like "I'm not a man." Obviously being gay doesn't make you less of a man. I hope it was just the English translations that made some of the script offensive but it's hard to know.

Kind of great, kind of awful

I think this is pretty good overall. I mean I watched it all the way through so… I liked most of the story which is interesting and not all fluff and it did a good job of keeping me guessing about what would happen next. The acting was very good and I liked the OST. But like other viewers have said wow what a toxic relationship. I get that the cliched aloof arrogant ML must sell well or it wouldn’t be the trait of most ML’s in dramas but I don’t always love it and I feel like this ML was a not too many steps down from a sociopath. And the FL was practically obsessed. Like what does this guy have to do to get you to turn you off him? Become a serial killer? Maybe not even that would be enough. In short I enjoyed the ride this drama took me on but I ended up relating to the second ML more then the ML and found it really hard to root for the main couple by the end.

Pretty good but first leads were awful

This show had an interesting plot. The fight scenes were excellent. Some of the characters were very interesting. I liked the show enough to continue to the second to last episode. But I couldn't bring myself to watch the last one because of the ridiculous ending I saw coming.

I think the main pitfall for me with this show, which happens too often is I did not find the main leads likable. I found them really self-centered and hypocritical. Even Mark Prin's hotness couldn't save him in my eyes. And the female lead seemed to think pf herself as the ultimate martyr. Every time she said "Leee-sa" and threw on puppy dog eyes it was like nails on a chalkboard.

I would watch a second season though if they were not in it.

Wow. That was frustrating.

I normally like web series teen shows and I wanted to like this one. I kept trying, all the way to episode 13, but I just didn't. I didn't like the main couple at all, and they never grew on me, especially the girl. I felt bad for their family lives, but a lot of people are damaged without being socially awkward, impulsive. vapid, rude, and ungrateful. If they were real, I genuinely wouldn't hang out with them or care if they got together.

The friends and enemies were all more interesting to watch than the leads and a few of the show's lines were good.

That's all I can say about this because it's not really worth more words than that.

Such a good show

I was genuinely not sure if I would like this show, but the plot sounded compelling so I decided to give it a try. I am really glad I did. It is interesting and thought-provoking and has me hooked. I really like the pacing. The acting is also phenomenal. Even the kids are good. I also really like how questions and critiques of traditional versus modern relationships and the way they affect families and workplaces are laid out using an interesting plot and equally interesting characters, snd that most aren't totally good or bad, just like most humans IRL. I thought I knew going in which lead character I would support based on my beliefs but it shockingly ended up the opposite. I also nev er know what the next episode will hold. My only critique is some of the dramatic moments are definitely Extra. And maybe I will hate the end, I don't know yet, but so far I have really enjoyed the ride.
