Cringe...

Oof...

So, my first ever review, and I feel like I just gotta put down concerns regarding this one because I was excited advice.

Story -
Paper-thin at the moment honestly. Handsome hard-working Kim is devastated by a love that will not be returned so at the advice of his friends, he looks for someone to help him take his mind off his lost love. That someone turns out to be looking for the perfect submissive for him at a random club instead of you know, using his resources to find someone who specializes in submission and is actually looking for an available dominant.

On Kim's flame, babes at least he put an end to it, didn't keep stringing you along on false hope and we all know you aren't the type to be a home wrecker if that other couple is truly happy together... RIGHT!? (I don't know this I only hope he's not that type coz I like him!)

On Kim's choice the have sex with this rando, I can understand that Kim is devastated about losing a love he was so committed to, I understand that desperate desire to really feel something, other than the heartache you are feeling. Heck, it's even possible that you are indeed a masochist submissive and just hadn't gotten a chance to explore that side of yourself so when you met a guy who said he would help you forget you got a little reckless and thought hey I'll try anything once! Turns out you kinda liked it even!

On Kamol's story, which is what? I'm a gangster Dominant sadist desperately searching for the one true submissive love for me and I have a crazy woman who is in love with me so I sleep with a new man every night so she might just take a hint? Yeah, I hope his story develops more because that's pretty weak.

Acting/Cast

What I loved: Kim!
Played by the lovely Ton, this character works well for him, he is very beautiful from many angles, the way he speaks is nice, he's not awkward, and his acting is very good for doing something so difficult as experiencing submission for the first time. His cries from pain mixed with pleasure were good, and his expressions were right, not the best kisser, but I have a feeling that's because he's not got a very good partner and there is only so much he can do when he is submissive. He has a beautiful body, not skin and bones, a nice chest and arms a real beauty all around and he looks strong enough to handle himself but also could need help without coming off as a damsel in distress! His acting is good and he's doing his best with what he has.

What I did not like: Kamol...
This is NOT the role for Yoon, I have seen him in several things and I was worried when I found out he was to be playing this role and my worries were very justified so far. This is not the character from him, he couldn't be further from being the right pick. He has such a soft gentle youthful baby face. The only thing he has going for him in this role is his height. His tone when he's trying to be indifferent and cruel during the mafia scenes just doesn't sound right, he's not intimidating at all, he does not command a room, and he doesn't look like he's the boss of anything. Some of his bodyguards are scarier than him.

The faces he was pulling during the SandM scene were weird and awkward. He is so out of place it's hard to watch honestly, like watching a baby trying to run before it can even walk awkwardly. Yoon is great at being soft and caring and sweet, which we see a glimpse of in the aftercare scene (BIG kudos to the production team for including this) I only hope that as the show progresses he becomes more comfortable and has a breakthrough with portraying this character but i won't hold my breath.

The kiss:
This is a VERY adult topic, SandM I mean, and for it to be a focus in the story then you kinda have to commit to a certain level of intimacy and sexy lustfulness and that kiss... Teenagers go harder. Like what a massive letdown, it should have been intense and lewd not... whatever that was. Guys, these are adult men looking for a hookup at a club, it's 2022, Zee and Nunew went harder in Cutie Pie for goodness sake! Pull yourselves together!

Music:
What music?

Rewatch value:
I have cringed enough, but would watch just Kim and the girls he works with coz they are a hoot!

Overall:
I'm not dropping it yet, I have hope that things may get better and that they were trying to ease people into it in this first episode, coz honestly who has heard of a sex scene of episode 1!? Wild I know!
