Highschool romance drama? or existential dread?
I went into this drama with no knowledge of what it was about whatsoever. I had heard an idol i know about, Woongki, was part of the cast. I thought, hey lets check it out, go in with no expectations, enjoy it for entertainment only. Then! i was thrown in head first into reflecting on what is happiness and what must one do to make themselves, or others, 'happy'! And i am not mad about that toss, to be honest i am thoroughly and happily surprised about how much i enjoyed this drama to this extent. Casting? amazing. Cinematography? some of the best in the space (up there with icons like Eighth Sense). Script? Heartwrenching.Highly recommend, definitely a way to start BL shows in 2024. Other countries, step up! Korea is making waves in this space!

Mixed feelings
I went in to this with high expectations, lots of people hyping this up and putting it up there with some iconic kbls such as Eighth Sense. While there is some good to this show, I was wholeheartedly dissapointed and dissatisfied with the whole of the show after i had finished it. The plot? interesting to a degree. The acting? pretty good tbh. The pacing and writing? could be a lot better. Also theres just some weird stuff in this show; the side couple being bully x victim not handled in a great way? Taeyi basically assaulting Seheon? yeah this is not a show i will come back to. Cool concept, love the arts school setting and how they all play instruments, poor execution. Its 2024 people, lets leave poorly handled abuse in the past shall weWas this review helpful to you?

Life goes on, even for those who wish it wouldnt
What a captivating story that was so much more that two men falling in love. The two main actors were phenomenal, enhancing an already solid script to greatness. I think there was a lot of plot lines untied though, but if you forget about that this is such a nice and fufilling watch. I dont know how i feel about the ending, i kind of wish they ended up not being together, which is strange but it would make so much more sense, but thats just me. In conclusion, a great start to my 2024 and i would love to see something from this company again :3Was this review helpful to you?
Lovable Characters
Another great kbl for 2024. Lets go over what i liked and what i didnt rlly like.Liked:
· Giseops terminal illness was not the forfront of his character, it was in tje background and motivated his decisions but wasnt given an indepth medical history montage which i appreciate. People with terminal illnesses can live the same life as one without!
·Characters as a whole were really fleshed out.
·Couples didnt always end up together, and thats okay! not every couple needs a happy ending right this second.
·Jinus hair?? like weirdly enougg throughout the whole series i was just admiring his cute hair and fringe.
·canonically bi and maybe aro characters? I'm headcanoning giseop as aro IDC!! or at least demiromantic
ok things i wasnt so happy about:
·the plot was a bit.. skew wif? like i felt a little lost at times but hey thats me.
·I feel like the side couple could have been fleshed out a little more
·MORE OF THE BACKGROUND WLW ROMANCE PLEASE????? HELLO??
Overall i think a rlly good watch, something i might go back to if i feel a little down, but a staple of kbls? no. But it doesnt have to be revolutionary to be good. Not every bl can be eighth sense sadly.
