Had Potential but Failed

**Brief Synopsis**
B (Intern): Sky
T (Owner's Son): Ace

B is an intern at the company T is currently managing as the owner's son. The story revolves around B and T starting out on bad terms because T isn't a very nice person and through spending more time together, they eventually fall in love, get together and even come out as a couple. The first season end with a happy ending but the second season, because the actor playing T didn't come back to monetary reasons, B and T breaks up and B meets someone else.

**My Opinion**

WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT
- The concept was nice but badly executed.
- The boys looked adorable together.

WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE ABOUT IT
- Villainize female characters for the sake of angst or plot. This show puts female characters under a bad light and make them do random stuff just for the sake of advancing the plot.
- The second season totally erases what happens in the first season. It just doesn't make sense for them to break up in the second season considering how in love they were in the first season and how much they had gone through together.
- The acting is a big weakness. The ensemble cast can get very cringey and the main leads lack the chemistry of some other couples. They are gorgeous and look good together. But it felt more as if they were best friends rather then lovers. They lack any small heart fluttering little interactions and look more like kids playing around.
- The writing and the plot is just cliche and awkward. The episode they got together was cute but it kind of went downhill after that. The plot where Moira tries to get revenge is just so random and the way she was planning it out makes her look like a cartoon villain. It was extremely cringe.
- The editing and the music. Unlike TW dramas, this show did not utilize music well enough to create an atmosphere of romance around the characters. Like I said, chemistry is lacking between the two actors, partly because of their acting, partly because of the editing and music.
- The episodes sometimes drags out and since nothing is happening, it's a little boring.
- Stereotypical gay characters often seen in BL just make things cringe. No character development from anyone making this a very superficial story.

**Conclusion**
This is a show you can skip or simply watch the beginning and the episode where they got together. There were some cute moments but the knowledge they broke up in season 2 just leaves a bad taste in my mouth especially considering how they just came out to everyone as a couple and said they loved each other at the end of season 1.
