Overall: I was hoping this would be the bodice ripper BL version of What's Wrong With Secretary Kim, but the abuse, lack of character growth, slow pace and love rivals are ruining the series for me. 12 episodes about 45 minutes each.

What I Liked
- what I thought was the premise based on ep 1
- established 1 protagonist as queer and sexually active
- caring/sweet moments
- visuals

Room For Improvement
- two of the characters are abusive yet we are supposed to root for their romantic relationships with non-abusive partners, examples of abuse include: physically violent (manhandling, choking, shove), manipulative, ignored boundaries, controlling, enact retribution for perceived slights
- too many love rivals/love triangles
- there were many flashbacks/flash forwards and I was not sure a couple times where we were in the timeline including the intro (or was that a dream and not a flash forward...)
- the daydreams and what actually happened needed more differentiation
- a character had a terrible "plan", he acted like a total jerk (which granted is in the title) but had zero character growth
- bad production value things like music not fitting the mood, odd angles, odd 360 rotating shot in episode 2 when a character was talking to his friend
- cartoony villain who was sitting on a black couch in an empty warehouse sipping wine
