📝 Review
(WARNING: Potential Spoilers — I’m Not Saving You from Emotional Damage)
Honestly… what hype? This was slow, bleak, and excruciatingly boring. The FL is a walking red flag parade, the ML has zero chemistry with her, and the plot? Weightless. Just a boy falling for a girl because she’s “pretty,” while she toys with him for absolutely no reason. Not being cookie-cutter doesn’t excuse making your audience want to gouge their eyes out. Every episode dragged like molasses.
Even the supposedly “interesting” cast couldn’t rescue this snoozefest. Some reviews claimed people “didn’t understand it,” but I got it—and still wanted to throw my phone across the room. This one’s going straight onto my DO NOT EVER WATCH AGAIN list.
💭 Final Mood:
“Boring, tedious, soul-sapping… and somehow painfully smug about it.”
