(Major)
Triangle Details
The triangle becomes actively frustrating due to plot mechanics rather than organic emotional development. A major breaking point involves the FL’s alter personality acting independently and kissing the 2ML.
My Notes / Opinions
Expected something very different going in, and the mismatch in tone and execution is a big part of why this fell apart for me. It was fine in the first few episodes but it went down hill for me real fast. The drama leans hard into vague, non communicative dialogue, and almost all conflict feels manufactured instead of emotionally earned. Characters talk around their feelings instead of actually addressing them, which makes every argument boring and predictable.
The alter personality plot device is the final straw. Once it becomes something that can fully take over, act independently, and create romantic actions the FL didn’t consciously choose, the whole thing completely collapses for me. The plane scene involving the 2ML is where it crossed from frustrating into “absolutely not.”
By episode 6, the show feels weird in a bad way, tonally messy, and is probably gonna be where I stop watching it. The romance is technically present, but it’s buried under gimmicks and badly written conflict.
