Enemies to friends to lovers… nothing new to see here
Countless series have been produced on the enemies to lovers genre and this one just adds to that ever growing list. Although there have been some BL series that have broken new ground with this genre like History 3: Trapped or the sheer chemistry between the main leads have stolen the show like Bad Buddy, but this one just sticks to the cliché. The only thing going for this series is that the 2 main leads have some depth in their character more so with Tae Hyun than Da Yeol.
The series wastes no time in introducing the characters. Da Yeol is a student who is a talented archer and that has gained him a scholarship. Not a popular student from any stretch of the imagination nor good with his studies, his only passion remains with archery. During one of the practise sessions he is sent to the nurse’s office for a shoulder pain and there he encounters Tae Hyun. Tae Hyun is a happy-go-lucky student who cares little about rules. Due to some shenanigans, Tae Hyun and Da Yeol are caught in a compromising position and Tae Hyun places all the blame on Da Yeol angering him. Tae Hyun now keeps pranking Da Yeol all to his anguish. But the more time they spend with each other Da Yeol learns more about Tae Hyun and can’t help but fall in love with him.
The character of Tae Hyun is interesting as he has a tragic past and layer by layer we are shown what that is all about. This makes Tae Hyun intriguing and you tend to sympathize with him as we learn more about him. But as the series inches closer to the finale, we feel that the creators have abandoned that plot point. His reactions though justified in the beginning seems rather rushed by the end and does a complete 180 degree during the final episode.
The final episode seems rushed and makes little to no sense due to multiple time jumps. Earlier Da Yeol is shown as confident in his feelings and Tae Hyun being the one who is aloof and questioning but in the final episode, they seemed to have exchanged their characters. Its Da Yeol now who acts aloof and makes you wonder is he no longer in love with Tae Hyun? All the great character development that took place in the first 5 episodes is flushed down the drain in the last 2 episodes and this was just so disappointing
In conclusion, the series has some handsome male leads with some good acting and character development in the initial episodes but disappoints you at the very end.
