Unlocking Intrigue: Why You Need to Watch This Now!
I don't understand why the rating is so low. I genuinely enjoyed this series for several reasons:
1) Firstly, the plot kept me hooked until the final minute of the last episode. I truly hope there will be a second season or an additional episode. While the mystery of Nont is now solved, the main antagonist remains at large, and many characters' lives are still in jeopardy. Thus, I believe there is room for at least one more episode to provide either a happy or tragic ending.
2) I appreciated how, with each episode, I grew attached to every character. Despite each of them disappointing me at some point, I still cared about them. Perhaps it's because this reflects human nature – our ability to make mistakes and behave imperfectly. I prefer such flawed characters that can impart meaningful lessons to the audience, rather than the stereotypical flawless protagonist, which is rather unrealistic.
3) The series delves deeply into psychology and mental health issues, exploring traumas, distorted personalities, social pressures, and typical teenage worries and struggles.
4) Regarding the portrayal of sex: I'm not referring to the explicit scenes, although they were necessary to introduce and develop certain characters, especially in terms of their sexual preferences or attitudes toward sex. Instead, I'm highlighting how sex was depicted differently for each character – as a means of earning money, obtaining something, exerting control over others, expressing romantic feelings, seeking pleasure, and so on. Sex serves as the central theme that connects each character and is, moreover, the primary catalyst for the entire situation (the Playboy Club).
5) The series is filled with hilarious and entertaining scenes that had me laughing out loud.
6) Despite the portrayal of toxic relationships and characters, particularly involving prostitution, it's important to note that the series doesn't glorify these aspects. The root of the troubles lies in drug dealing and prostitution. What I appreciated was how the characters confronted their inner demons and bad habits through love. While this may seem idealistic, as love alone often isn't enough to heal people in real life, within the realm of fiction, it's heartening to see these young men find love and grow as individuals.
I really liked it!
