Soft, sweet
I am a huge fan of Bls (obviously) and KBLs never fail to impress me. CBAW was definitely in 'I love it' category.
Story : Taesung and Haebom have known each other since they were children. For Taesung, Haebom is his everything, even though he is in a lot of denial. But while he does fall first, Haebom does fall harder. TS allows HB to grow, to become stronger, to become his own person, all the while taking care of him and loving him unconditionally. Which is exactly what HB needed. He is not weak, just a bit soft because he has always felt indebted to TS's family. However in no way does that step back when he realises that he could lose TS. He comes beautifully into his own when he takes a stand for their love. And that is something I just loved in this story. It was never about not liking TS, it was just about disappointing TS's mom. And the lack of toxicity in this drama between the two leads just floored me.
Cast : I can't say enough about the cast. Both Jin-Uk and Kang Hui are superb. Their chemistry is off the charts. I love the characters of Ji-a and Yong-hee. Friendships should be like that, completely supportive. For a moment, in the initial episodes, I got the feeling that Yong-hee likes TS, but it was just jealousy over a friend a guess. I loved the fact that Jin-Uk and Kang Hui are really cute and pleasant in real life as well.
Chemistry : The chemistry of the lead pair is off the charts. And that is an understatement. HB is the softness to TS's rough edges. They just fit so well. The kisses are not ridiculous or unwanted and desire is an always burning lamp between them, which is something rare in a KBL. HB is always blushing when it comes to TS, and TS is always possessive of his love. The dream sequence is the sweetest. I wish they had done a longer love making session, but whatever was presented was adorable.
Music : The music is not very memorable, but it didn't detract from the story or the plot, so I guess it was okay in its own way.
Things I would want to change : Some story strings were not tied up to my liking. For ex, HB's bully suddenly disappeared, the girl who like TS in college disappeared, YH and Ji-a's story.. I felt that quite a few things were left hanging.
But all in all... I loved this drama and will recommend it all and sundry!
