very cute short film
This is exactly what you think it is by reading the description. It doesn't trick you. It's a cute, simple premise, and that's what it offers for the 14 minutes that it goes.One of the best things about this short film is the way it jumps into the friendship between the two leads without hesitation, and you can tell that the development of the romantic relationship is going to be super genuine. From their silly little montages, to their play arguing, to the immediacy with which it's clear that that Sang Min is drooling over Min Soo, it all feels good.
It ended pretty abruptly, but I couldn't be mad at it, because the rest of the short film was so cute. It's well worth a watch!

definitely fun, a little off the rails
This show is very funny, and sometimes I don't think it's necessarily funny in the way it's meant to be; it just is. The plot is a little all over the place at certain times, and some of the plot twists are vaguely disappointing, but the humor and actors are largely able to redeem the show, if only so I could giggle at the train wreck they were creating for themselves.Overall, it's a cute show with a good cast. The plot is different from what I expected, especially initially, but does seem like it's trying too hard at times which leads to more serious moments having no impact. Additionally, I think the plot assumes a lot of development without actually developing the plot. It just hopes its done its job without actually doing it.
I don't know if I would watch this again, but it's got some cute moments which make it worth an initial go!

a definite must-watch
I really enjoyed this! From the beginning it was boots to the ground, "what's gonna happen next?" levels of plot development. It draws you in quickly, and the chemistry between the two leads, as well as with the rest of the cast in terms of who they're portraying, is undeniable.There were a few parts with the romantic development where I was questioning why something would have happened that way, or how it could have occurred that way (vague, I know) but it really does explain the questions you first ask yourself when watching. You've just got to wait to learn more about the past of each character.
Re: the past, I was pleased how much back story there was regarding the main plot, and how we are presented with multiple different scenarios throughout. It leaves you wonder: what did happen? And there were things I was still confused about up until the very end where it was resolved, which makes for a great murder mystery.
The subject-matter at times is a bit heavier than I expected, which is funny considering this is a murder mystery show, but if you're looking for something light-hearted and weren't necessarily deterred by the title, I'd steer clear of this one. However, if you're looking for something frustrating, with lots of twists and turns, this one is for you!
Overall, this was really good, and I'll have to re-watch it at some point.

pretty average
This is just a crime drama—nothing super special about it. The main characters are fine, but not as compelling as literally any of the side characters.The main couple is underdeveloped but we’re supposed to cheer for the ending; if you don’t develop it, I don’t necessarily see a point in forcing it at all. The implied side couple with maybe 5 minutes of screen time together are better than the two main characters’ relationship.
Additionally, big scheme-y plot reveals happen in the final episode, and it would have been way more interesting had they happened in the series. Having it all revealed at the end felt lazy, and I honestly didn’t know where the main character stood on the main issue for the whole series.
This is also very heavy in content, and very graphic at times, so be sure to heed the tags when deciding to watch.
Ssing Harit, Natherine, and Victor Chatchawit were particularly good in this. I think everyone had a good performance, but the side characters were definitely a little more compelling. Probably due to the main character standing for nothing till about the last three episodes.
Overall, it was a fine show. I liked it—watched it for Ssing Harit, stayed to see how the mess would turn out. It’s not a must-see or anything, but if you’re bored and like crime dramas, it could be for you.
