A cute story but many unanswered questions
For a second I thought this show would go into my most hated cliche, the “one half of the couple goes to another country in the last episode" route, but it thankfully didn't.
At first I didn't feel much chemistry between the main actors, but it got better as the show went on. For a korean BL I feel like this series kinda pushes the limits a bit more than the usual shy 1 or 2 quick kisses. The main plot is simple but you can’t think too much about the details or it doesn’t make much sense. For example, where does the money come from for Shi On to live? Doesn’t he have to go to classes? Can Hong Seok’s just take 1 month off of work to do “nothing”?
This is a mini drama, and, just like the others, You Make Me Dance has some side plots that are not developed. But the non explanations here bug me more than normal. I understand that the mom abandoning him is important to the show, and we only know her from Shi On's eyes, but it's a weird plot point, since he got the money for her in the first place. Or did he actually got the money to live since she just left? Is the mom a terrible person and Shi On's just doesn't want to accept it in the beginning? She got married and left when She On tuned 20 (which apparently was the year prior), so she was a good mom for 20 years and then vanished? My impression is that Shi On is definitely not a reliable narrator.
