watchable

The one and only review posted so far was so harsh that I had to balance it a little bit.

It is true that the plot is lacking, messy and cliché. Also, the characters were too shallow. I should hold a grudge against writers and directors who think "good enough" because I love BL and I want the genre to flourish, so I can always find an available one when I need it.

Thankfully, the actors' skills were enough to bring emotions. It worked for me.

Some issues could have been delt with though. It is unclear why the boys didn't just date from the moment they became aware of their mutual attraction. I think they both know, as there is a hint that they may have slept together already (or had some kind of sexual interaction going on for a while). Seo Han Joon is afraid of speaking out loud because his friend/lover doesn't want to make things official. Is Jo Yoo Jae in denial about his prefrences? Is he afraid of ruining their friendship? We never get to know that.

Also, I'm a bit disappointed at the way they managed to avoid an actual kiss. As in "let's show people gay-friendly content, but not actual gay".

Still. I enjoyed it. A nice evening watching.

Love it

I believe it was a sweet show. They have a wonderful chemistry and it show how a friendship can turn into something more. I would love to see a second part it was too short that is maybe the reason people didn't like it. Another's thing they both act really nice and you felt in love with both of them. You need to put you heart into the show to actually understand what is the message the producer is trying to give. As I said before I would love to see a second part and I would like to see more details. I watched twice and both time I like it. I hope others enjoyed as I did, because as I said this two got a beutiful chemistry...

Don't watch

It's total waste of time...Choppy edits, cliché romance, too predictable, nothing new, director even probably Don't know what's he tried to make..literally failed to develop characters & emotions throughout the drama..looks like 2buddies hanging out but having issues. I am not bl watcher but sometimes watches clips so ig it's one of the worst k-bls..in last ep director forcefully made a twist which was time wasting i would rather preferred to watch their romance in last ep which was missing in whole drama..only good thing was both Actor's Acting skills & visual..nothing else to watch.. Teenager ytber in my country make better quality minidrama than this..

Amazing drama
I don't know what other's say but will say must watch drama. It has everything the struggle the love. But most important thing it will make your heart feel warm. People might find it weird to two boys loving each other. But l don't see anything weird in it. My thinking is love is what makes too people happy and feel amazing even in their hardships and struggles noting matters too them all it matter is having each other in their life for them. And these drama had these that what made me like this drama so much and I appreciate the hard work of crew members and actors for creating such nice drama to watch.
