Short but mesmerizing.

Firstly, I heard that it's produced by the same company as 'where your eyes linger' and 'Mr. heart' but with a different director. And as I expected, they're properly made (not likely "high quality" content, but "okay quality"). Tbh, it feels like a fanfic or AU that brought to life.

The story, I do think that the main idea of a debtor and the owed is interesting, especially on EP. 1, it might look stupid for some reason, but I couldn't find this unique scene in any other drama. No shade. I heard that Shi On suppose to be a swimmer, but they changed to a contemporary dancer and it's a great choice. For the cast, I don't really have a problem with it, they're perfect. Acting-wise, some scenes look a bit stiff (it might be cuz the angle or other reasons). Also, their character and chemistry build progress is slow and confusing. But it doesn't make me lose interest in it.

The music, it's suitable but there is a phrase 왜 안되니 that make me quite uncomfortable hearing it (maybe I watch too much comedy-drama), but other than that reason, it's all inside my playlist by now. It supports the dialogue well, and I like it. Am I going to re-watch it?! Yes, I'm. The first and 2 last episodes are really right up my alley.

And, the main problem is it's too short, the 8 episode. It's kinda rushing at the 2 last episodes and feels kinda stuffy. IDK why a lot of drama choose this path. Also, I hope when they decide to make it as a movie, that really remake it (even though I know it will never happen).

A perfection, if it's not restricted

Trust me, the original story is so remarkable and excellent. I've read the novel fully after watching this and if this eventually not restricted, perfection. I adore Ms. Chai right after reading a quarter of this novel. So, watch this first then read the novel, you won't disappoint much.

The story itself is novel based, it is has a strong base and variety of scenes. For the production, it is good, but some parts are in an awkward angle and I don't really like their color palette, also their clothes pick. Some scenes look somewhat stiff, but it's still enjoyable. There are some plot holes too. And instead of saying it as bromance, it's actually a really smear BL (like when they're not having enough episode to confess). The cast, I am shaking. Especially, Yuan Zong, Jason definitely born to play this role. Their acting, it's a big applaud to both of them, especially the cringy bird conversation. Some support cast a bit bland and bizarre also some scenes.

The music itself sounds good, unique, and helps the scene as to how it supposed to work. But not at the rate of I'll shove it to my playlist. Lastly, am I going to re-watch it? Yes, I've re-watched it over 100 times already, even yesterday. Just because somewhat the live-action is more interesting than just words.

The story gives me high expectations

Apparently, the story was definitely a bomb. the idea is solid, good story development, and well-picked scene (even though there are some unnecessary scenes). But it's a novel adaptation, so it should be excellent on the story side. The cast, I'm not gonna judge since I don't read the novel, but the acting, kinda lacking, I could feel the 'stiffness' (IDK if the screenplay dialog is lacking or cuz it's just their first bl role or the angle). But I think the editor plays the best role here, they really doing great. The music is great, but I don't find it special. but definitely support the story pretty decent. For re-watch, I wouldn't, but some people might be cuz it's an interesting story.

overall, good! I could've given 8 if they change the ending scene. But some people said it's okay, so it might be just me.

Well...

Story-wise, it's actually good in the first half, but the rest, just boring. Also some plot holes, duh. Apart from being 'plastic surgery is the key', the fundament idea of the story is steady and interesting, but too many unnecessary scenes. it's a too digressive and useless push and pulls. The cast, I think it is just okay, but Han YeSeul definitely suited the role. My favorite characters definitely are Lee KangJoon and Gyo ChaeYeon. They have distinct uniqueness. The music just so-so but the one that sang by Jonghyun sounds good. Some BGM was too dramatic and not suitable. I am re-watching it several times but just some of them like ep 2-8.

Overall, it is an interesting story of complicated revenge, some episodes are bland and they should've made it exactly 16 episodes.

If you search for a romantic 'gay' movie, just don't watch it.

I personally love this, apart from its being 'not so romantic' according to some criticism. The reason is simply that it is not, and the focus of it is on the actor's psychological side while doing the method acting.
The story was awesome, it has distinct characteristics, they build it so unclear but direct it to the way that people supposed to understand it. Simply, it would make us wonder what happened. The cast's acting, I don't really have a grudge towards it. As it supposed to be, the music is so helpful to construct the scene, I love it, but some of them weirded me out. it might be that I do not really know about musical drama music.

Am I going to rewatch it? yes, when I forgot about the story. But I think, this kinda movie is supposed to watch just once. After you understand the story, the second experience will never be the same.

Not to compared, but i love this over voice. It's more into criminal psychologic study and detective work. The forensic just give a little touch. There's not really called a thriller scene tho. But I loving the different generation to end with. It's no sense if we put it on the real life, since cold cases has too much holes to filled up. But through the time difference, they could! Even though the end was just normal, like other dramas that they'll still alive until several season. The music didn't stand out well. Since i was focused more on the story. But it help a lot wuth the sad scene. Well, this must got a good prising.

Loving the details and change!

Since this is an adaptation of a novel, I could say it's not perfect. It lacks most of the details due to the short airing time. Nonetheless, the 'key' part captures well. It's packed without feeling stuffy. I love how they mix and match scenes to make them appropriate but still marketable. Again, I see it as a whole new story inspired by the novel, so I think it's an upgrade.

The actors and actress are doing their job with a bunch of chemistry. Even though some of the scenes are kind of awkward, it's bearable and suits the context. The ost and background music are AMAZING! In some, it'd be better without one, it's unfortunate, but I don't mind it. Also, not entirely sure, but the song 'can you stay on Ep. 8 sounds different, either the lyric or the pitch. Whatever. So far, there is nothing big of a deal that would turn you down while watching it.

Lastly, I appreciate all of the production staff involved. I'm enjoying the show a lot. Especially for every detail put to the thought, It's pleasant to see a new standard have made for the upcoming K-BL. I have already rewatched it thousand times, so no doubt!
