Something Is Not Right

This Korean BL drama probably one of the worst amongst the worst. Not because the language fiasco like "Love Is Like A Cat" or amateurish directing like "Oh! Boarding House", but because bad script and lazy writing. The plot is very superficial and it's obvious that they're struggling with it. The conflict is too simple and they're forcing uncomplicated stuff to be complicated just to stretch the episode number. That is so pathetic. I won't recommend this one to anyone, especially to dear fujoshis. They deserve better than something that is clearly not right.

Listen. I came in with high hopes. The leads? STUNNING. Visuals?? Off the charts. The potential?? Immaculate. Black cat x golden retriever dynamic?? Inject it directly into my veins. I wanted to love this. I really did.

But sadly... something truly was not right 😭

We had Ba Woo, a precious golden retriever man who was yearning, crying, and projecting emotions like a side character in a Shakespearean tragedy-and Jee Hoon, a man so emotionally repressed he made Mr. Darcy look like a talk show host. The chemistry was there but the storytelling said "nah."

Instead of giving us a slow-burn romance with healing and mutual understanding, we got a confusing mess of miscommunication, deadpan reactions, and emotional whiplash. Every time a moment built up, the next scene undercut it. It was like watching two gorgeous men circle each other in a fog of unresolved trauma and half-written dialogue.

This show could've been the blueprint for "friends to lovers with longing stares and tearful confessions." Instead, it gave "Pinterest moodboard with zero substance."

I stayed for the pretty faces. I left with a migraine and a sense of what could've been.
