✨ Synopsis
Motomiya Yuri can hear other people’s inner thoughts when she looks into their eyes. Sounds cool, right? Except she hates it. She hears things she doesn’t want to know and gets hurt in secret, so she keeps her distance from people and basically gave up on love.
Then along comes Yoon Tae Oh, a younger Korean student. Bright, friendly, loved by everyone, and so pure when it comes to love that it’s almost obnoxious (in a cute way). When Yuri makes eye contact with him… she hears his thoughts. In Korean. [Which, no subtitles. Thanks, drama.]
So now she starts wondering if maybe love isn’t impossible after all. Will Tae Oh’s brightness melt her closed-off heart? Spoiler: I wasn’t invested enough to care.

📝 Review
(WARNING: Potential Spoilers — I'm Not Saving You from any Emotional Damage)
Okay, real talk. I wanted to like this. The premise sounded cute, kinda interesting. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get invested.
Main problem: his thoughts were in Korean with no subtitles. So I spent most of the time squinting and guessing what he was thinking. Not exactly immersive.
Second problem: chemistry. Did it exist? Maybe in his head, but not on screen. ML tried, bless him, but FL was so emotionally closed off that nothing sparked.
Honestly, it became an unmemorable watch. I’m actually surprised I finished it. I think the only reason I did is because it’s only 10 episodes. Anything longer, and I probably would’ve quit halfway.
So yeah… not terrible, but forgettable. Don’t expect to remember much about it in a week.
💭 Final Mood:
“Wanted to like it. Didn’t. Finished it because it was short. 2.5/5. Forgettable at best.”
