Why?

STORY:
The story is a pretty cute concept. However, it wasn't well executed. The drama used every single cliche in the book. It also has way too many misunderstandings between characters. And, out of the pure necessity of more pretty boys/ships, they made almost tons of side couples. The whole drama was created so that there could be as much fan service as possible squeezed out of it.
Putting that aside, the side couple and main couples each had their own unique storylines which were interesting. And I rooted for every couple! The comedy in the drama is pretty funny. The female character was super fun.
From Ep 2-13 (there are 14 episodes) the main couple didn't seem to be the main couple at all. They weren't the main focus of the plot and the only times the story decided to emphasize "By the way, these are the main couple!" was in episodes 1 and 14.

ACTING/CAST:
I gotta admit, the whole cast is aesthetic af. However, besides Lay (King) and Cooper (Bohn), the rest of the cast doesn't seem to have many roles before this drama. It shows. Poy (Duen) has a few awkward scenes, especially the emotional ones. The others do a pretty good job, but you can tell that they're still learning.
This is perfectly understandable for a webseries! And since it's a BL and was obviously created for fanservice rather than the actual story, I'll say that they all did very well. Poy's scenes would've been hard for anyone, they were super emotional and I'm sure that he did his best.

MUSIC:
It's just... music. Not something I would memorize and hum at random times, but it's catchy when you're listening to it and recognizable!

REWATCH VALUE:
I've rewatched it a few times. Its a fun rewatch! Each time you can focus on a different couple.
