Rent343
Nonsense plot and egregious script
The primary flaw was the script. Not a single interaction flowed smoothly, nor were any of them convincing. It's hard to explain how bad the script was because it was all so illogical.
Ok.
Imagine you were daydreaming and you were in a huge rush to get to the part where your daydream characters kissed, so you threw together not-quite-plausible, vague plot points like "char A tied char B up bc that serves my kinks but uhh the story justifies it because uhhh... char A's... trying to ...prove char B is ...his brother?? Yeah ok I'll come back to this later. Wait. Is that incest?? Nevermind char B ISN'T the brother he's just... ah whatever skip to them kissing". You might think, 'oh Rent343 what a ludicrous daydream, that makes no sense!', and you know what? I'd agree with you! Unfortunately, the SCRIPT WRITERS FAILED TO DO THAT REALISM CHECK AND JUST FKN PUT IT ON THE SCREEN. WHAT?!?! I cannot imagine how the actors felt receiving their scripts each day. Probably some mixture of despair and resigned gallow's humor. Like a prisoner receiving rations a corrupt guard spit on. Maybe they also felt some developing resolve to immediately fire their agents for letting/making them take the project on.
I cannot imagine how investors felt seeing how the showrunner just defecated all over their money. I really hope they found out who was at fault for writing that abject pile of steaming nonsense and told their entire network to blacklist the culprit.
I can't comment on the acting or the directing or the editing or the plot because the script was so overwhelmingly, mind-consumingly horrible.
Oh wait! I can comment on the plot: it rehashes the toxic, misogynistic tropes of ignored consent, abusive behavior and forgiving/accepting it uncritically, BREAKING AND ENTERING???, and women included in the story only to be evil man-stealing witches (luckily all of it was done in such a clumsy way that it produces zero emotional impact for the viewer).
As I write, it occurs to me that maybe it was meant to be a vicious satire on BL dramas in general. In that case I'd have to give it one extra star (for a shining total of 3 stars). Not because it was thoughtful, polished, or intelligent as a satire, but because it did make me hate BL as a genre for a solid hour (then I rewatched Where Your Eyes Linger and recovered :) ).
