I really liked this series, especially how it addresses powerful and relevant topics like cyberbullying, homophobia, how others perceive us, and parental pressure.

The character Shin truly moved me. Despite what some might think, he isn’t weak—he consistently spoke up about what made him uncomfortable and voiced his feelings. His honesty and vulnerability were touching, and I honestly felt so sorry for him throughout the series.

I was also deeply moved by Bright who stayed by his side, even when everyone told him to walk away. That kind of loyalty is rare and truly heartwarming.

Keng, on the other hand... His emotional abuse was shocking. He couldn't handle rejection and ended up hurting the one person who truly accepted him. The fact that he kept a recording after assaulting Shin is just unforgivable. He was cruel, stubborn, and deeply toxic.

On the bright side, Bright and Pramote were incredible friends, and I also really appreciated Shin’s parents, who were always supportive and kind. It was refreshing to see positive parental figures in a BL for once.

For a first time in this genre, I genuinely enjoyed the dialogue. The actors delivered strong, authentic performances that really brought the story to life. A very pleasant surprise overall.
