It's ok sweet story
It started really good. I thought it was going to be a lot more different. Eventually it fell down to the same tropes.I was expecting something like going against the industry and being in an open relationship, or don't know, something else.
They keep reinforcing the same stereotypes. Top/bottom, bottoming hurts. I know it's for girls, but you can at least depict real stuff. Bottoming doesn't hurt.
The end is happy but it's crap. Instead of fighting they just wait it out, and what for? There are no logical reasons, Nubsib wasn't bound by any contract. Then the Aoey dude, wasted scenes, no redemption at all.
I'd say watch it, I did like the acting, Gene and Nub felt real, but I think the story didn't do them justice.

Give it a chance. Healing journey
Yes, it's a BL, but really the story is about healing onself after being hurt, growing up, and putting yourself first. I guess some things you can only understand when you have experienced enough things, but it's a really nice movie.You have to guess some things, but it's all given the through the subtext. You understand why Ba Da is there, and also Tommy's choice. Sometimes we have to put ourselves first, even if in doing so we hurt other people.
I also enjoyed the Ba Da maturing and not depending on others, also being able to say no when it was needed despite being hard. He found himself.
You might say it was not necessary for Tommy to leave for a while, but some things can only be pursued alone because it's our own personal journey.

Incredible story
I really loved and I'm surprised at some of the reviews. It's a really nice story about falling in love. It also shows that Korea is not there yet regarding same sex relationship (well, basically like the entire world) and it puts their possible dating in the spotlight. You might be surprised at Roa's reaction, but unless you've been there, you won't get it, because sometimes it's just easier to be straight and from Roa's perspective if you think about it, you'll understand.The show also highlights how other's perception of dating influences non straight people. It's a BL mixed with some real shit, and honestly I loved it.

Too much for the time
You basically need a timeline in front of you to understand what's happening. There's a lot said but not said by friends and situation. You have to be able to read the subtext to understand what's happening. The story itself it's a bit too much considering the time they had, but I think they did a pretty good job.I can't really give a higher score because you don't get to know the characters or feel with them, so the emotional connection is lost.
If the series had concentrated on just one part of the story, would've been much greater.

Too short, or too much in short time
Beware of time jumps. I loved the acting. I felt like they conveyed their feelings. I was confused a lot of times, either by time jumps, scene cuts or just not having some things clear from the beginning. Tae Sung suddenly realizing Hae Bom is going to be away, or the fact that we had no idea how Tae Sung felt, it was a bit confusing. Either the show needed to be a lot longer or cut around the endges to make it shorter.I completely recommend rewatching because you can watch it knowing the intent behind, but the pacing it was off.

Please give it a try
This is way too good, and way too human. No one wants to feel alone at the end of the world. You might not like the "cold" lead, but who hasn't made a mistake in their lives?We can see he actually regretted it and was trying to fix, but once he knew the damage, well, he didn't try, until the end of the world.
I would have love it if the "nice" lead would've actually resolved some of the trauma, but no story is perfect.
For me it was an extremely well done portrayal of real people, with real issues and how we bond as humans.
