The game's story is structured as a series of standalone chapters, each focusing on a different character, reminiscent of a K-drama, which provides a unique narrative experience. While the writing is engaging and the cinematography is praised, some players feel it lacks the depth and humor typical of other games in the genre. Overall, the story is well-received for its character development and quality acting, though it may not offer a cohesive overarching plot.
- “Cinematography is fantastic, and the story is genuinely pretty interesting.”
- “The acting, cinematography, and story are incredible, with each actress (some of them are popular Korean social media influencers) delivering excellent performances.”
- “The storyline starts off slow with chapter 1 being the prologue to the whole storyline, but as you progress, the storyline makes more sense and becomes engaging.”
- “Each chapter is a standalone story, making it feel as if this is multiple different games.”
- “The story writing feels way more kdrama than most FMVs, and that's a good thing in many instances, but don't expect many absurdist funny moments like in Storytaco games.”
- “The game didn't even need to lock out the chapter since each one is pretty much a story of their own.”

The gameplay is described as lacking polish compared to newer titles, making it feel somewhat boring despite its realistic approach. While the exploration mechanics are well-executed for a FMV and K-drama style, the branching narrative isn't immediately clear, though it becomes more apparent in the pause menu. Overall, there is hope for improvement in future titles from the developers.
- “For a FMV and K-drama type gameplay, it does a good job.”
- “The branching nature of the game isn't entirely clear from just the gameplay, but it becomes more evident in the pause menu.”
- “But long term I hope this game can represent the baseline of what Korean FMVs should offer, and that Root3Games continues to learn and improve upon the mechanics offered in other Chinese FMVs so that future games can blow this one out of the water.”
- “But mechanically speaking, it lacks some of the polished features that have become ingrained in newer titles.”
- “I think this is more realistic, but from a gameplay standpoint, it's a bit more boring because the competition between girls in other games makes the characters feel a bit more dynamic and interesting.”
- “But long term, I hope this game can represent the baseline of what Korean FMVs should offer, and that Root3Games continues to learn and improve upon the mechanics offered in other Chinese FMVs so that future games can blow this one out of the water.”
