It was a waste of time

I liked the synopsis of the story and was excited to see a somewhat low budget production (because I loved Our Dating Sim). But overall the leads didn't spend that much time together to really form a connection and looking back, I can't remember too much plot in general happening. I don't know why, but I was taken out of the action completely several times in each episode, and I was very much aware that this was a film shoot, with a set and a crew behind the camera. I was never really pulled into the story, I oftentimes didn't fully understand the dialogue and what they were even talking about (this could be the translation's fault).

I liked Ki Hyunoo as Choi Jun, but I didn't get a good feel for Lee Jun, who he was as a character, what his motivations were. Just his opinions in general. He was a very passive character, he sometimes felt like he was supposed to be a y/n insert character for the viewer. It always felt like the plot happened TO him, not that he was actually an integral part of the story. I just don't see the reason as to why three handsome, talented men would be into him. I might not like the other characters as much, but at least they had agency and were more fleshed-out characters with their own opinions, dreams, etc.

The more I think about it, the less I actually enjoyed this series. I would not recommend it.
