A Dynamic That Just Absolutely Worked
I've never posted a review here before but I really just wanted to share these feelings.
South Korea has really been hitting it out of the water lately with their venturing into BL waters. They've had unique plots and dynamics and despite each one is amazing and special in its own way, something about this one just hits, in several ways:
The story and couple are so unique and yet it works so well - this romance between a debtor and his creditor. With these underlying messages that they both bring meaning to the other's life - that they make each other dance, and embraces the red thread notion of soulmates destined for each other.
That trope is one of my favorites in dramas - so I am a little bias towards this one (and likewise Color Rush before it).
I also find the physical execution of the romance unique for a South Korean BL because it was comparatively more "high heat" than we've seen before. Not just a single kiss, but several! Maybe that's in part also due to the chemistry between the actors being also amazing, which also led to the success of their interesting pairing dynamic.
Overall, just an amazing drama - can't wait to see how it plays out in movie format (should it follow the trend of the previous one and receive one anyway). It also makes me want even more of them to do a longer runtime BL drama - but maybe that's just too powerful a request as these get more and more outstanding.
