This was… disappointing. I suppose it’s because I watched the show first. I can’t believe such a wonder series is based on this novel.

I don’t know if it was the translation I read or if the original is the same, but I felt like I was reading a Wattpad fanfic written by a teenager.

Everyone is so immature and childish. Kinn is so plain, his whole personality is jealousy and anger, no depth. And Porsche is so dumb, in the show they are so well-written and developed. 

And the sex scenes… Every intimate scene between any of the characters is forced to some degree. PeteVegas play with Pete being a masochist and Vegas’ hate of the main family. And KinnPorsche, once they get together, they maintain the same dynamic from their first time (which was heavily dubcon) with Porsche always pushing Kinn away whenever he shows him any form of affection.

It felt weird how the novel talks about dark matters like rape, but then we don’t see any of the danger and violence from the mafia world they live in. Everyone behaves like high school kids. We’re told that they live such dangerous lives that they need bodyguards, and yet we don’t see any enemy besides the minor family.

All in all, I’m so grateful for whoever saw the potential to make such a masterpiece tv series.
