The cast and crew did a great job. They all worked hard and the characters were portrayed as, I expect, intended. If you don't like a series for any reason, the review should be constructive. If you don't like the plot then explain how you think it could've been more appeasing or interesting. Whining about how a character said something that upset you (aka was mean boo hoo) doesn't interest anyone. This plot is different. I wouldn't compare it to ATOTS. There's an obvious difference in the mood and theme of the two series.
My critique:
I prefer BLs with more intimacy... the kiss in episode 6 was a bit disappointing, but the kiss in episode 8 was much better. I liked how the characters in this series and SIMM are intertwined. The plot was a bit dull because there wasn't any thrill. It was cute, but not enticing nor intense. It lacked passion. It might actually had worked better more like Baker Boys or My Name Is Tee (not romantic at all), which I don't personally consider to be BLs. I'd rank this with La Cuisine. It is entertaining and had minimal intimacy, but it is not a series I would watch again.
Thank you for reading.
