So good that made me believe love is actually real
I'm not kidding when I say this is the best kbl I have watched, it's beautiful, interesting, funny, dramatic, it has ALL.The main characters have such a great story and chemistry and you see it since the first interaction, they're so cute and funny.
I knew taevin thanks to penthouse so I already knew that his acting was not joke, but seeing him with a totally different role was crazy, I loved it.
This is my first time watching Joowan and he's amazing too, I really loved his expressions and I just feel like everyone was cast perfectly for their characters. They did such a great job, everything was just so smooth and natural.
The story is amazing, five minutes into the fisrt episode and I was so immersed. Even if the drama is kind of short, the story doesn't feel rushed. One of the things I love more about the story is the plot twist, is so good and there's no word to describe how I felt when I was watching it. Also, angst was so good that I cried the whole scene, paused and took a five minute break to continue.
The shots are beautiful, the editing is mindblowing, ost perfect for each scene and situation. Really, the best kbl I have watched.

LOVED IT !
Finally we have a BL with more than 30min eps after so long !This one is really good. You might think it’s some fluffy romance but no ! It isn’t !
It deals with grieving, suicide attempt (at the beginning), being rich, poor and their disadvantages. I love the idea and the concept of series, they are sooo good and I love how it’s giving and not giving love alarm at the same time lol !
Btw lying about knowing a dead person like myung ha did is actually crazy but we gonna ignore it bruh… 💀
To get back to my review on this series, the cast in itself and the cinematography are really so good !
Episode 7 is my fav so far ! I had my eyes bawling the whole episode and its ending ugh 🥹
About the characters, I loved them ALL. The quatuor of boys : myung ha, yeo woon, sang won and the other friend, AND the side characters, like the girls !
Now to end this, shoutout to sang won. He is my fav character so far, he has an actual lore (with his mother abandonning him kinda, to pursue money instead), him having a crush on myung ha and trying to get his attention, although the other litteraly continously ignored him 😭💀.
I mean my second lead syndrome might be playing a part in this BUT still ! Myung ha never actually care about him in my opinion and that was always clear. Like okay maybe at the beginning he was being ´weird ´ (not really) but even after, when he was genuinely nice to him, myung ha never ever took the time to get to know him at least 😭. Like bro it won’t mean you reciprocate his feelings or whatsoever just because you are talking to him ! 💀

A Game Changer in the KBL Industry
This drama absolutely blew my mind. At first, I just found it on this website on accident, then I see that it's adapted from a manhwa I'm currently reading! Seeing the high ranking and good reviews, I decided to give it a try. It didn't disappoint. First time ever I see a KBL with both a good plot and good chemistry between actors. Usually dramas are lacking in one of those, which ruins the watching experience. As for the acting, the actors did so well! I was sad when they were sad, and happy when they were happy. As a plus, both of the main actors have extremely cute smiles, it brightened up my day! Honestly, this really made it way better. Also, the actor playing "Tae Myungha" really reminds me of the Thai actor "Mix" when he smiles haha.tl;dr,
Drama has a good plot. good acting and amazing production. Anyone who watches BL drama regularly or doesn't should try to watch it, I urge you^^ It's biggest flaw it being too short!

Deals with mental health issues.
The main topic of this series I think is about someone dealing with depression and instead of concentrating on helping themself they focus on helping others which I think is very common in people with mental health disorders. This show showed a refreshing take on what it's like to deal with mental problems and how a lot of the time people with MH issues tend to ignore themselves because it's easier than dealing with the problem.I think the actors portrayed their characters wonderfully and while some parts of the show happened really quickly I think the show had an amazing story. This show is definitely one of my favorites and a definite recommendation. The feelings of cuteness and fluff added to the sad and heartbreaking makes this show worth watching. I do wish the episodes were longer or there was more than 8 episodes however I think the story ended perfectly.

THIS IS A MUST WATCH!!!
This is a MUST watch ok. I kept seeing it on tik tok and stuff and i was like i gotta watch this and i finished it. It is so sad but so good at the same time. This is one that i would definitely rewatch again and again and again without getting tired of it. The plot is amazing but confusing. You will understand when you reach the end of the series, but both of the main leads are so good at acting. I just can't with it and I'm gonna go and cry myself to bed because I dont have a golden retriever boyfriend!But if anyone does read this comment or review please help yourself and watch it! It's so good you won't regret it!

That good good hurt/comfort type beat
Having trouble putting my feelings and thoughts into words for this one tbh in a good way though for sure for sure.Production/Cinematography:
They killed that fr. It was amazing, I don’t typically comment on this aspect of a drama unless it’s noteworthy, and it definitely is in this case. Really captivating.
Acting:
No notes, so good what the hell. Lee Tae Vin and Cha Joo Wan really had me going through that roller coaster with them. Everyone else in the cast did amazing too, really great performances all around. Protect Cha Yeo Woon forever, that little happy wave and jog he does when he sees Tae Myung Ha had me giggling fr.
Writing:
Haven’t read the webtoon, so I’m not sure how it shapes up as an adaptation. That being said, the story in the drama was so good. Despite the fact that I ended up predicting a decent bit of the story, it still impacted me like I hadn’t even tried to do so. Everything up until that last bit at the end was super easy to follow and understand but like I enjoyed the story so much idc if I left a little confused lol. Part of me does like to idea of a bittersweet ending instead, but most of me will die without a happy one, so I am content knowing that my boys are happy.
Chemistry/Romance/Kissing:
Chemistry was clear and present. Definitely a good romance story. Kissing was fitting and realistic/believable. Great work from the actors/writers/directors.
Music/SFX:
No notes at all. Didn’t even have that cheesy drama bs where they put in a loud corny song with lyrics spelling out the feelings of the characters lmaoo. So 10/10. SFX were perfect too.
Damn… this was a treat. Definitely writing this review with swollen eyes rn but that’s my business. Some seriously good work all around here, damn damn damn.

Acting !!
All I can say is that Lee Tae Vin is just so mesmerising. The plot itself was solid but what truly made me fall in love with the series was the acting and the cinematography, especially in episode 8. The sea scene in episode 8 is truly so beautiful that I cry every time I see it. Although it seems like a easygoing series it is so much more than that. Once again, lee tae vins performance was just amazing , loved it.Was this review helpful to you?
the best of the best 10 000/10
I re-watch the entire series at least once a month, or sometimes more. Love it soooooooo much. I have also started reading webtoon. It's sensational they adapted the story, the acting of Taevin and Joowan is awesome, and the chemistry is hot. When they laugh, I laugh with them, when they are sad, I cry with them. No matter how many times I've seen it, they always impress me in every episode and point me in front of the screen. I love them, and this beautiful and shocking love story so much. Im going to re-watch is for hundreds of time. I hope we will see more dramas with Taevin and Joowan toghether.Was this review helpful to you?
defo one of my top bl’s now!!
I’ve watched a variety of bl’s and one thing I’ve noticed is their are hardly any bl’s with a good storyline especially a unique one they are normally all based in a highschool, with a boy with a crush on another boy or something similar.. This bl was not only unique but also creative !! Their is depth.. care .. a lot of hard work that was put into it and you can tell that it was actually cared for unlike most bl’s where their is no depth and you can tell it was just made for the money 😭Was this review helpful to you?

Cute, Bubbly with a dash of Suspense! Love it!
I have watched a lot of BLs and there are only a few that I try to watch at a slower pace just hoping they won't end soon.THIS one bl kdrama has been added to that list! Loved everything about the show! The amount of fluff, cuteness, comedy and omg I couldn’t stop laughing at the main lead regretting his decision to date a 19 yr old kid, and said kid bringing him a sunflower on their first movie date! Lol Can it get any cuter?!!
Myungha being so relectunt to accept his feelings and the intial 2-3 episodes had me laughing so much omg!
There is nothing that I can complain about within the series. Honestly it had everything needed for a nice drama - good acting, nice story and suspense, good pacing and overloaded with cuteness but not the kind that would make you cringe.
Rewatch value: 10/10 !
It's definitely going to be my go-to comfort drama when all the cdramas break my heart with their sad endings!

Not at all what I was expecting
My god I don’t think I have ever been more ashamed and embarrassed than I was whilst watching this show for taking the story synopsis and trailer for such immense face-value. I initially thought this show would just be your average, cutesy, puppy-love-type bl (in other words, nothing special lmao), but god it was so much more. I came for Cha Woongki, and left with tears.Although, my initial assumption of what this show would be wasn’t completely incorrect; it was quite a light show for the most part. The immense puppy-love was there as well, though mostly portrayed in only Yeo Woon’s character. However, this show did have its dark and sensitive topics: Suicide, abuse, abandonment, etc., but to my surprise, the way they handled these topics was outstanding, beautiful even. I won’t go into detail, since I want to keep this review pretty much spoiler free, but I will say that this story probably handled all those dark, sensitive topics, better than most of the stories I’ve seen that contained the same subject matter. Thought, despite the amount of sensitive subject matter, the show still managed to find a good balance between that and the light-hearted scenes, and that is also something that I find beautiful about this show.
The characters were fantastic, and the acting for each character was even better. I’d like to especially mention the acting of the two main leads. Their acting was good to the point where you can almost hear everything the character is thinking and feeling by just looking at their eyes, and that amount of skill that the lead actors showed is something that I find extremely admirable. The characters were also quite complex/multi-faceted, which is part of what made them so entertaining to watch. I will say though that, unfortunately, the side characters were a bit underdeveloped. The story never went into depth with any of the side characters, and we only saw what Tae Myung and Yeo Woon saw. It’s pretty much as if their characters really only served as plot devices. Though, I wouldn't blame the writing, but rather the duration of the series. However, I’d like to treat the underdevelopment of the side characters as a sacrifice for how well developed the two main leads were, because how could a writer possibly have the side characters be as developed as the two leads and the plot given the time constraint.
The cinematography and editing is, with no doubt, one of the best I’ve seen in a piece of media so far. It sounds like an exaggeration, and it could be since I’m too busy geeking out right now to think about all the great cinematography I’ve seen before, but it’s still nonetheless phenomenal lol. Something about the cinematography is so satisfying to watch; the creative camera work, the beautiful coloring that alters depending on the mood of the scene, and the editing to make the show seem more game-like, all just came together so perfectly. The music was pretty good as well, maybe minus a couple songs according to my taste since I’m not a huge fan of just plain pop songs, but that outro song in episode 6 is so good I like shazamed it but nothing popped up so I don’t think it’s released yet, but they better release it soon man I need to add it to my playlist.
Anyways, this show has given me complete hope in bls for 2024. Last year, more specifically the second half, was quite rocky for bls guys I’m not gonna lie. With a show like this, though, I think 2024 has this in the bag with bl for sure. Remember, 2+0+2+4 = Ate (I hate that I can’t put emojis in reviews, this sucks).
