Great dark academia Story but I have no idea where it went wrong

Jumped into the story because it starred all the actors I knew and the prospect of watching them play as fellow high school mates felt exciting to me.

Had a great start. I loved how they tried to build up a slow-burn suspense. The drama kept me questioning and had me on edge because I was too curious to know what was happening behind the facade of Home School.

But somewhere along the story went all wrong. The ending screwed up. so the poor review score is mostly because of the poor execution of a good story.
I hyped myself up because of all the actors I loved and now I'm highly disappointed in the drama.

Great drama but could have been better.

Randomly started watching because it's a boxing drama (silly reason to choose a drama, ik)
There are so many good elements of the drama. Both So Hye and Sang Yeob did a great job delivering their character well. So Hye looked really cute in it and Sang Yeob was hot as usual🤭 And I really liked the storyline, but they could have done a better job on the production. I feel like the drama was lacking something and I'm not sure as to what it is.

Apart from that, it was a pretty great watch. Had some really good OST, but I don't think I would go for a second watch.

Repititve storyline

Season 1 was great. Though it was not my usual cup of drama, the plot kept me on edge and I binged through the whole season. Moving on to Seasons 2 and 3, I realised the storyline is pretty much repeating.
It's just stupid, rich, snobby people who think they can get away with anything with their wealth.
Killing people for personal gain and then their loved ones seeking justice and revenge for the dead ones.
I'm sooooooooo sick of people coming back from the dead.

Watching The Penthouse I realised that it does not have THAT big of a story. No, the storyline was predictable and ordinary. The only reason it gained huge success was the execution of the plot. It's remarkable how well the did the production and execution of The Penthouse. And the acting? Top-notch acting skills and a great cast. Everyone did their role well.

So, the drama was ok, ig? But I'm not up for a rewatch though.

I'm not sure how I feel about this drama

The trope was exciting, which got me into this drama (it was also free on Viki). A broke girl moving into a sharehouse with 2 other males and a female. One of the guys happens to be her first love, who wouldn't wanna watch this.

BUT a bit into the drama I realized I found her housemates creepy. A guy who has no emotions whatsoever. I felt sad for him honestly, a bit frustrated coz I couldn't decipher him. Another guy who's encouraging FML to spend the nights with MML, just asks them openly but this very guy also asks her hand for marriage? He legit asks her to sleep with him, says he's fine with her being pregnant with MML's baby and still wants to marry her. And the other girl who's very much obsessed over MML. Yes, I find these bits creepy, had it been me I would have hightailed out of that sharehouse the first chance I got.

But towards the end, they became less creepy I guess. They all enjoyed each others' company, supported each other, and had fun living together. I guess that's the only plus point in the drama.

A Lighthearted Sweet Romance!

I'm so much in love with Adachi & Kurosawa!!!

BL drama popularity has been on the rise and that just made these dramas lose quality. Pretty much every BL has a similar cliched plotline. I was starting to get a bit tired of watching these overused tropes over and over again. BUT THIS DRAMA MADE ME FALL IN LOVE WITH THE WORLD AGAIN!

The story felt so fresh and original. I guess the fantasy trope of being able to hear people's thoughts seems a bit tacky, BUT GUYS, YOU NEED TO WATCH THIS DRAMA...IT'S SOOO GOOD! I ended up bingeing it in a single day including the special episodes, I'm planning on watching the movie too.

Why watch it, you ask?
Lovable characters...Every character is very unique and well-written.
Lots of humour and fun, you'll never get bored watching this drama.
There's no toxicity involved. The way they both love and support each other is so sweet.
Awesome cast who made sure their characters were played perfectly.
Awesome soundtracks.

My favourite element in the whole drama is the character development Adachi goes through. He was an introverted guy, really shy and demure but a sweet, talented guy. His skills and capabilities all go unnoticed by people because he's so demure. I love how he finally becomes determined to become the best version of himself just for Kurosawa.
So guys, as I've told you multiple times - JUST GO WATCH IT.
