The villainous ex is actually hilarious lol. He’s so dumb it’s the highlight.

The actor playing the ex-boyfriend is so good at being pathetic. The looks gap between the male lead and the ex is massive. No frustrating moments here, just pure "cider" (satisfaction). The plot is a bit weak—like, how can they not know she can see?—but it’s a light, easy watch.
