It was cute, it was sweet, it was fluffy, and I loved it.

I usually read reviews after I've watched (binged) a series, and I wonder how people forget that this is a Rom-Com....emphasis on the comedy part. It has it's silly moments, like over-the-top acting and crying and such. Lots of reviewers have developed a standard that simply can't or won't be met in all BL's for various reasons. This was not meant to be a serious drama. It does have plenty of serious moments though, and I found that the actors were really good.

Things I did not like:
-It's rarely necessary to have the actors pause for 5 seconds with every 4-ish words of script. Sometimes I forget the start of the sentence by the time they get to the end of it.
-It bothered me that Kim brought up that his parents had run away together, when Kim's father had passed away prior. Did they leave the small kids with someone? Or did they gloss over the fact that this is his mother's second marriage? (granted, they did not say it was a second marriage, so that is an assumption on my part.)
-I still don't understand sniff-kisses, but I've come to accept them.
-If I see another pinched cheek, I'm going to scream! Sheesh!

Things I did like:
-The actors were adorable
-My favorite characters were Park and Lee....I couldn't get enough of them and their entire storyline.
-The kissing/intimate scenes were MUCH better than most BL's.
-The amount of screentime that each couple had was great. We got to know the side characters/couples as well as the mains.
-There wasn't an extreme amount of couples staring into each others eyes, at least not to a ridiculous amount, except for the "catch-fall-kiss" trope (and honestly that wasn't too bad), but that was forgiven when the chancellor exclaimed "cliché." LOL
-I loved how the friends supported each other and their relationships, which is actually common in BL's, but still....
-The sisters!!!!!

I definitely recommend this if you are looking for a good, fairly lighthearted series. And Jeff Satur singing the OST???? Yes please!
