This had good actors, amazing OST and deep, controversial and emotional themes (being LGBTQ, multi racial, teenagers having sex and casually dating, multiracial characters...all of that being in South Korea is shocking to say the least) but without getting too dramatic into them.
Theoretically all those ingredients would let you as a result a pretty good series, but although it is interesting, it is also a hot mess.
The plots and subplots are extremely unbelievable and there's hole after hole, how the hell can you just guess who gave you in adoption by looking at some pictures?? Unrealistic is an understatement.
Then it becomes very erratic and confusing when everyone likes everyone ( literally) and all characters turn to be gay/bisexual. I was so happy when I saw there was not only one gay couple but also a lesbian one but then a love triangle becomes a whole love group thing? It made me feel like I didn't have anyone to root for because love interests changed so fast!
I didn't like that at all.
Overall is interesting and I like the fact that they kept it quite real with the korean interactions and original language, they casted actual koreans and not just Americans.
If it was longer I wouldn't have watched it, but is so short it was okay. I probably will give the potential second season a miss.
