had potential
i was really excited to watch this because it has some of my favorite bl actors, and while the acting is pretty good, the writing is awful. tonhon is an awful, irredeemable person, he's so homophobic and oblivious. the stuff with his dad wasn't in the book so i don't know why they added it, it doesn't add anything to the story. ai and ni pretty cute, but the scene where they forced chon to come out to them was shitty. and it doesn't make sense that ton didn't know they were dating like he did in the book. it could have been a cute story about childhood friends to lovers, but it ends up as an awful hot mess.Was this review helpful to you?

i didn't have expectations yet it still failed to meet them
wow. this is the worse bl ive seen in a While. the storyline is nonsensical, the acting is hard to watch, the characters are inconsistent. this seems like a first draft of something that wouldn't be published.seonho is one of the worse characters ive had the displeasure of seeing grace the screen, and having to listen to him talk out loud to himself (while also narrating at the same time?!) for a over half of each and every episode, because thats obviously the only way to share information with the viewer, is inane.
in the first half. he's just blundering and annoying, but he slowly becomes a controling creep, in the last episode, mu yeong gets a call that his friend joonsoek, who is in the hospital (because he got hit by a car after breaking up with his fiance after she saw pictures of him kissing mu yeong, obviously.) is missing, and he needs to leave and seonho's reaction is to say that if he leaves, then their relationship is over, because its his birthday, you obviously cant care about about other people on HIS birthday. (also what relationship?! y'all met like a week ago!)
mu yeong has the personality of a wet piece of paper, and his seemingly only trait is taking the opposite meaning of whatevers been said to him. oh, seonho said he hasn't dated anyone in three years? that means he's dating his boss, that he only sees to discuss work. he could could be replaced by a dead fish and the story would stay the same (the kissing would too).
min yeong is fine, i dont have to much beef with her. she was funny if not a bit obnoxious and poorly acted.
joonseok's fiance, yoona deserves so much better, the only thing she even vaguely did wrong is threaten to share the kissing pictures, but only so he would say he was the one to call off the wedding, because if she called it off there would be problems in her family. amd i dont thing she actually had any intention of sharing the photos.
(also how old are they supposed to be?? the actors have a nine year age, but the characters supposedly were in high school together? that seonho doesnt seem to remember at all?)
if you aren't going to pass on this one for any of those reasons then pass because of their six shades too light, badly blended foundation.
