Binge watched in 2 days. Gripping, romance could've been a little better
And it only took 2 days because I had work in between XD
This was such an addictive show! Of course, there are some areas for improvement, like the romance, background info/backstories and better character development, and even how some episodes sometimes felt repetitive. Even the pacing could have been improved, because the first few episodes moved slowly, then everything kind of all happened at once for the last 2 episodes.
What is it with k-dramas and their wonky pacing? Will they ever get it right? Even a series like Celebrity that wasn't aired weekly but dropped all at once still suffered from this.
BUT!
All in all, I love shows like this where romance is secondary (just that...this could have used more screen time it, especially when the leads had pretty good chemistry). We don't get any lovey-dovey scenes, I often questioned if they were even dating, and what is the reason for them liking each other...? Besides....attraction? Because...they don't have any scene where they really sit down and connect////it's more like, enemies/i find you alluring but am playing hard to get/am too prideful to admit it kinda thing.
But I don't hate it. I don't regret staying up to watch this either. I actually don't mind the twists it took, nor the ending—just wished the ending had another 20 mins of run time or so.
I'd make some comment on the social commentary it makes on influencers, (or the fact that this 'Gabin society' was out here wilding with the top member having only 300k followers?? LIKE ? talk abt reality check ur acting like this w only 100-300K?)
BUT, I believe other reviewers have done a fine job at expressing this in words better than I can. I just especially love the final ending, and the choice Ah-ri made at the end. And it sends a message for those in the real world too (or at least, what u shud probably do).
Overall, I recommend!
(But please....wish there had been more romance scenes....oh well!)
