This drama had so much going for it. Great casting, relatively good soundtrack, and an interesting premise to hook us in.

But my god, it was quite a mess wasn’t it? I don’t even know where to start.

It was really frustrating and confusing to watch especially because it felt like the story shifted from the perspective of Dan Oh to third person. WTF??? OMG that confused me a LOT. Don’t even get me started on the wasted time spent on rewatching a really bad parody of Boys Over Flowers/Meteor Garden/Hana Yori Dango. I understand that they needed a cliche story in the background to contrast our ML/FL as extras and is part of “world” created but it very rarely contributes to the plot. And my GOD, why in the world did we have to watch so many scenes of it?! Also— and this is more of a personal, and very much a subjective opinion, but why is Dan Oh so OBSESSED with Haru? I wanted to puke blood by the time it was the 14th and 15th episode and I realized that very little answers were given on anything. This made the whole experience of watching the drama VERY frustrating as it went on. More questions/interest were piqued till the we are now nearing the last THREE episodes, and then you finally realize, IT WILL NEVER BE ANSWERED. O_O” Lastly, there were many scenes is the drama that were wAYYyy too repetitive.

All in all I feel like a took away very little from this drama. The world is a very interesting concept and I would love a different take on it with a different story. But the jarring shift of Dan Oh’s perspective to third person perspective, parody drama running/competing with the actual story, the annoying FL obsession with the ML, bucketloads of unanswered questions, and repetitive scenes make it too hard to give this drama a decent recommendation.
