What I Liked
- dream kiss in episode 1
- sweet moments
- martial arts backdrop
- the bully did apologize
Room For Improvement
- there is a truly awful character who seems to have zero consequences, he should have gone to jail
- really stupid plans, is the team a gang, why can't people just quit?
- two noble idiot/refuse to communicate tropes
- a camera angle blocked kiss

On the Rewards (popcorn bag icon page)
- check in = 5 (increases over 7 days up to 25)
- turn on notifications = 30 (1 time bonus)
- create a login = 20? (I did create a login because otherwise you only get 1 Always Win box instead of 3 per day, I think this was 20 popcorn)
- do the 3 random popcorn from the daily Always Win box = 30 (I'd normally get 5-15, around 30 in total)
- Watch Ads, watch all 10 ads each day, have to wait 30 seconds in between ads = 110
When you run out of popcorn while watching, you can watch 5 episodes each day with ads
Note that there are other 1 time bonuses like following on social media

Quality KBL, regardless of vertical drama
This could have easily been a standard BL, as the quality of story, actors, and cinematography was all there. I appreciate the easily digestible, to-the-point storytelling of vertical dramas. Unlike the stereotypical melodrama of this form, however, Summer Indigo is a solid piece with a classic Kdrama feel.Definitely worth a watch. Altogether just over 90 minutes when compiled. The leads are handsome, and seem much more experienced than their short MDL background gives them credit for. Hoping to see more from all 3 leads!
