I will say I almost rated this very biased just because i am a huge joongdunk fan but once actually completing this series it really didn’t do much for me.

i think both joong and dunk have improved a lot with their acting and honestly i don’t think either of them were terrible in this series to begin with but i can definitely see an improvement. unfortunately the story was boring and really didn’t make sense. it’s another miscommunication trope but the miscommunication was soooo bad that it just didn’t make sense. Kluen couldn’t have told Dao from the beginning his liked him back? what was the point of meeting in college and STILL not telling him his feelings but just beating around the bush. It was almost the exact same premise as their other series Hidden Agenda. I unfortunately feel like they’ve both been typecasted as these same characters consistently among all their series. However, at the time of reviewing this I have been watching their more recent series The Heart Killers, and though their character tropes are essentially the same it fits better with this storyline compared to this drama. Joong’d character is always the guy hiding his feelings and playing too cool, while Dunk’s characters are always the one being straight forward and pinning after Joong’s character.

Typhoon was very annoying and weird in this series. I felt like he couldn’t take no for an answer and was just very weird and pressuring Dao to reciprocate feelings he knew weren’t there. Dao also sort of toying with Typhoons feelings at one point too was also very gross, especially since he was so upset about the girl confessing to him and he was afraid of hurting her feelings. Though he apologized to Typhoon later it was still very unusual since he cried so much about it earlier. Also, Fah. Didn’t like his character. Why was he always calling and being needy and weird?? I knew they included him so much for the spin off series but it felt out of place and he was just annoying more than anything.

I’d say overall this wasn’t a terrible watch, it was easy enough to get through but it definitely had its flaws and wasn’t the best series ever by any means. I would say it’s a nice casual, short series to binge. As for rewatch ability… not there for me. Granted, most gmmtv series are not normally ones i’d decide to rewatch even if i liked them more. probably just due to the fact they are constantly coming out with new series and multiple with my favorite ships.
