The 2nd ML (character) is a DISGUSTING WORM

Kang U-IL character is so disgusting. Someone sink this punchable worm like the Titanic. He should have had so many sexual harassment complaints filed against him. STOP TOUCHING YOUR EMPLOYEES INAPPROPRIATELY!

By ep. 7, the writers/director are trying to make the viewers pity this creep. I was previously on the fence as to whether he was truly bad or just came off that way, but he has since then put the nail in his coffin already.

He's sitting here with sad music playing, crying over 2 drawings. Drawing #1: A drawing given to him by a lady he ruined the life of (He said she came onto him, of all disgusting things, and on top of that, when she killed herself, he only cared about how it would affect his image. This episode was nail in coffin). Drawing #2: A drawing made by the dead lady's younger sister, who he is currently hitting on (she doesn't know he's involved so has a crush on him - gag). Eugh! Eugh!
The previews then show ML and Wormy actively competing for the FL. Save me.

By the end of the final episode, the writers/director, whoever, tried to do a 180 on him. ML basically begs him to come back to work and even tries to leave him the company. Like, seriously?! And then, they're like, "It's okay! Root for him and his relationship - that should no longer be b/c he's a slimy cheater who used his position of power to sexually intimidate employees!" I felt like I was being brainwashed. Stop trying to make us forget all the horrible things he's done!

It'd be one thing if the writers/directors portrayed the SA as a bad thing & him as a bad character, but they don't. And that's my issue. They just attempt to gloss over every bad thing he's done like it never happened, like he doesn't sexually harass his female employees. Like he's not partially responsible for that one girl's death. All because he's the ML's best friend & dates the ML's sister.

TLDR: They keep trying to make you like him. By the last episode, they act like nothing bad he did ever happened and want you to go "aww" and root for his rebuilt friendship and new relationship. Everybody is laughing and playing together but despite the writers/director's efforts, they could not brain wash me into forgetting what he had done in episodes prior.

Music was cute/decent. Main couple was decently cute.

Also, the ML is NOT shy. He has a social phobia & severe social anxiety. Enjoyed ML character.

Chemistry!! MarkKit!

I am loving this so far! (I've just finished ep. 6 from last night) Mark is my fav - love his character personality, attitude, strong sense of self, confidence, style, teasing, etc. He's so cleverly flirty & not in an obnoxious way. The tension b/w Mark & Kit is great too. Kit is very fiesty & I love it. I'm dyinnng for them to get together b/c that episode's gonna be amazing. Mark at the end of Ep. 6 had me crying at like 2 in the morning.

I really dislike when BL characters are so unevenly matched (e.g. Pai-Itt; HIStory 3) so I'm really glad Gen Y paired the cast so well -both appearance & personality. The story progression & storyline transitions are smooth & well connected (one of my issues w/ TT2) so it doesn't fell choppy or underdeveloped. Stylists did well with hair too - no cringe "child" hair /clothes on college-age characters. I also dislike that trope where one of the ML's is a "meek pushover who acts like/ is treated like a young child even though he's in college." Gen Y has not had that (Neither have the dramas I listed below).

It's entertaining never knowing what Mark is gonna do next other than it will likely involve hardcore flirting with Kit. Characters are supportive friends to each other & their larger friend group/siblings. Sab, Mark, & cafe boys are our matchmakers; Yu is even shipping the two competitors for his side, Koh & Jack, together - and I agree with him. I've already rewatched a few of the Mark-Kit scenes while waiting for new episodes & will continue to do so.

*For those of you who watched 2 Moons, Gen Y is your 2nd chance at MingKit but 100x greater.
*Other equal footing pairings are: TharnType, KornKnock, FighterTutor, SaifaiZon, Mr. Heart, Oxygen the Series, PeteKao, PureFolk, Love by Chances, My Engineer, BadBuddy
*I've only not given more 10s b/c I've not finished the drama yet.
