Ok, so it is not good but...it's not bad
So I read several reviews before I watched and I totally understand the perspective. I will say though that once you get to ep 7/8 I think the story really picks up. The first couple of episodes are an utter mess and you have no idea what is going on and it is not even because of missing or poor subtitling. There were just too many stories to try and organize at the beginning that was intended to bring the viewers in but it just caused a mess.Once the individual plots start to develop and unravel it gets more interesting. The undertone in the story especially around North's mother and her irrational behavior and thinking, especially with the volleyball team is the driving force in the drama. I also especially like that there were no gay panic moments. There are four couples (well 5) and at no point does anyone do the I need to hide our relationship or freak out because they realize they like another man. The seemingly unconditional support of the trans characters. The side couples stories could have been more developed and because they were you were kind of like why are you here and then you remember it is for the sex scenes.
There were a number of moments that just were pointless and someone unresolved like the drug addicted boyfriend and the lesbian couple. There is one major story that just kind of ends without telling a major point. *Spoiler start* How can you show the sister get murdered and then never address that fact especially when she could literally tell you who did it? *Spoiler end*
Some of the VA side scenes were funny and made you like the actors more which drew you into their characters a bit more.
This had a lot of potential, but I'd say watch for the MC and if you want the sex scenes (especially Mai & Wan) you can fast forward through everything else

Had potential
I read the manhwa, and I like some of the changes they made, even the flip at the end but the series left out some critical details that some of the character's actions did not make sense. They never explain Denis' purpose or why he kept saying the Director always abandons people, etc. I get why they did not show the moments from the other lives they lived, but even a montage could have helped explain Denis' behavior. It had a lot of potential, but ultimately it left me scratching my head. I would still recommend it as a series to watch, but if you have a lot on your list, I'd say it is not one to make a priority.Cet avis était-il utile?
