Acting/Cast 8.0

Rewatch Value 6.0

unique premise with convenient writing (watch suggestions)

Overall: although I enjoyed the premise the multitude of "because the writer said so" stuff is took me out of the fantasy. 10 episodes about 45 minutes each. Aired on iQIYI.

Content Warnings: murders, attempted murder, suicide, child abuse, drugging, blood, violence, torture, manipulation, manhandling, kidnapping

Watch Suggestions (this avoids some nonsense stuff and a love triangle)
episode 4 watch 9:50-11:20 for fun side couple bickering
episode 6 watch the whole episode
episode 7 watch beginning to 16:30 and 44 to the end
episode 8 watch 8:30-23:30 and then 32:30 to the end
episode 9 watch 24:20-37:20
episode 10 watch 44 minutes to the end

What I Liked
- unique premise
- mystery element
- Khram's female friend
- the side m/m couple
- intimacy/NSFW
- sweet moments

Room For Improvement
- my main struggle was that the characters keep acting completely unrealistically and it pulled me out of the story, a few examples included
* in episode 1 the whole "he won't do it again", the later not having a weapon or not having a bodyguard when a character knew he is in danger and then meeting in a sketchy location
* the medical scenario in episode 2 (should have gone with AB negative or rhnull but wouldn't the universal donor still work?)
* a character tortured another character, then one "I was a little harsh" and all was forgiven, similar thing happened in episode 10
* why didn't a character just tell another character the truth, there wasn't any world building that there would be consequences for this
* people on the run got out of a car in broad daylight
* not contacting police
* not immediately killing characters
* the dad received confirmation that what he wanted would never happen so doing what he did/said at the end of episode 5 made zero sense
* nonsense weapons being used including a butter knife and a sword
* nonsense doing that when extremely injured also his friend didn't seem to care that he left him there/didn't send help

- there were several times where the time jumps/flashbacks felt sudden or were confusing with which characters were in the scene, choppy editing
- the first few episodes had a lot of telling/montages instead of showing, I'd say they didn't have enough screen time but then some scenes could have been cut shorter
- in episode 5 they should have established that a character was evil because just being someone's son doesn't mean you deserve that
- a very cliche plot element in episode 9
- I saw 1 character as 2 different people so most of episode 10 felt like cheating
- unsatisfactory open ending
