About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a lighter, slightly dark anti-romcom about modern dating and self-respect; Not for you if you need nonstop laughs, subtle leads, or a straightforward romance like At Midnight.
Pros: anti-romcom twist; relatable dating red flags; some laugh moments | Cons: humor often misses; uneven tone; predictable for some
