The story is simple, straight forward yet weird. Sunshine is an actor who has got his first major role. The shoot takes a break of 7 days before making the big announcement of the project n valentines day. And this is the day it happens his boyfriend Rain decides to breakup within saying it is not working between them. Demoralized, he comes back to his apartment drunk, where a mysterious man Q is waiting for him. Introducing himself as the cupid reaper, he gives Sun a wish that for next seven days, every day he can eliminate anyone's existence from the universe. All Sun has to do is think and ask. He gets excited and the first day as expected he asks for Rain's current boyfriend to be gone so he can win him back. But he realizes that Rain has another boyfriend now. Rain's new lover disappearance didn't change the fact that he broke up with Sunshine. The politician disappearance changed the policy against gays. The ex-lover disappearance made Rain forget Sunshine. Then, Rain 's best friend disappearance made Rain kill himself. All those actions made Sunshine question himself about who he is, still not accepting the fact that Rain disappeared because of his choices and blaming Q. HE then wishes himself to disappear since he seems to be the problem, but this is when everyone comes back. He realized that he was, in fact, in love with the only person who understood him and helped him : Q. Unfortunately, to make the world as it was, he wished for Q to disappear.
Despite an interesting premise, the narrative is so tedious and lethargic, I lost my interest very early on. Q and Sunshine talk and talk and talk and there is very little focus on actual action. Yes, this is more philosophically focused drama and in a normal setting, it would have even worked. But when I sit-down to watch BL shows I expect romance and drama, and this one gave me zero feeling at all about watching a BL at all. Sun gets on my nerves with his pettiness, recklessness, and cluelessness. His decisions to erase certain people seem irresponsible, but he acts shocked and outraged by the repercussions. Sun and Q's bond eventually grows but by then it's already too late. Personally, when I lost the interest in the show early on, I wasn't even ready to give it a chance since I ha made up my mind. In my opinion, this show will only appeal to a very niche audience who wants to talk and debate morality and philosophy and have nothing to do with eating to see cute boys romance and kiss. The show is about looking back into yourself when bad things happen into your life and how to move on without blaming anyone and such things are never easy to look back at. For me, this show was a big bore. (2/10)
