The storyline isn't anything groundbreaking. Guy#1 meets guy on street and have a fight. Guy#1 curses out other guy without realizing he has enough money to buy and destroy his whole life. They meet and start to bond and feelings blossom yadda yadda yadda. They did have a lot of chemistry but there was also a lot of conflict that could've been avoided if they had COMMUNICATED.
The side couple however- i feel like toxic relationships aren't portrayed as well as they could be in a lot of dramas, but this one really showed how hard it could be to leave someone, especially when you've been together for so long. Their story was also nothing special and it took so long for them to actually get together that when they finally did it felt a bit off. Idk how else to describe it.
By episode 5 i wanted to just drop it but I wanted to see if it would get any better. Up until episode 7 i had absolutely ZERO hope but episode 8 kind of made up for it and it felt a bit less like i had wasted 8 weeks of my life. Everyone got their happy ending and Thaenkhun got what he deserved.
By the time episode 8 ended i had one exactly 2 characters who i still liked- Phirada and Ping and they are now one of my top 5 ride or die characters and i will die on this hill.
One last thing; the kiss scenes. I would rate it a 2/10 at best. I'm a firm believer that shows don't have to have sex scenes to be good, they don't even have to have a kiss scene, like a lot of dramas have proved (i.e. cherry magic, kieta hatsukoi) but if you're going to include one MAKE IT LOOK REALISTIC. The side couple had a cute little peck on the forehead at the end and that was honestly good enough. It was one of those cute moments that make you smile even without meaning to. However the main couple should've probably done the same thing cuz the kiss was giving "it counts as a kiss cuz our lips touched". If the actors felt uncomfortable kissing, either don't cast them (because it's literally their job to ACT and play a CHARACTER) or take out the kissing scene altogether
