**My Opinion**
WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT
- I love the two women B tells his experiences with T to. These two love to compare his experience to BL manga. It’s like breaking the fourth wall.
- I love their subtle acts of affection while on company hours, such as holding hands while taking a nap on his shoulder.
- I really like how romantic T is, bringing him out to dinner and setting up a private movie viewing.
- I like how everyone is not satisfied with T but can’t do anything with him because he brings in half of the company’s profits.
- I’m glad the angst made both of them grow emotionally and changed their relationship for the better.
- The acting is pretty on point. The characters have chemistry and I could easily feel the awkwardness that usually comes with first love. They look so happy together, it’s really magical.
- I liked the camerawork on kissing scenes. It makes fake kissing less noticeable.
- I loved the ending where T quits the company when corrupt business practices refused B as an employee. They ended up opening a new company together.
WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE ABOUT IT
- Angst once again caused by a lack of communication but at least this time it was resolved quickly because T is an adult who knows what he wants.
- There are a lot of cliches but they don’t make the story bad.
**Conclusion**
Simple boss-employee relationship story.
