Hiii! I think it probably stems from the big gap between my expectations and how the series actually turned out. I was really hyped to see Ongsa in a series and the premise sounded super interesting, so I think I went in with high expectations.

The biggest factor for me was prob the over-the-top acting from quite a few of the side characters (especially pond.... and basically all the parents in this show), which really threw me off, as well as the storyline being somewhat predictable. But thank you so much for pointing it out! Honestly, I might have rated it a little too harshly. I’ll see if I can adjust my rating!

edit: after reading all the other reviews, I might need to give it another chance 😂

probably because of the 🍇

Actually it was quite a decent binge-watch! Reminded me of light on me so much... even though LOM is so much better

Woah funny you're saying that! Actually Jung Je Hyeon reminded me a bit of choe chan yi (also from light on me). Actually I think that thez got heavenly influenced on the plot and actors, just chose a different ending

yep! totally agree

the "use me" mug 💀💀💀😭😭

yup same here!!! Seems like the series is divided into two parts, that's why there is only 7 episodes each! I really hope, this one is happening, since I'm still devastated by all the drama surrounding "the on1y one" s2

I think the actors were talking about a s2!

For real. I'm still amazed that it even got a rating this high!

Hahahahhahahahahahahaha

I'll give you the actors names, some of them still have old pictures on IG online:
the two most obvious:
Llouis Kittawat Chaodee,
Oatmeal Natthapong Katthajan
and also:
Toto Kiettisack,
chokun wachirawich

the whole cast literally spent thousands on their plastic surgeries. Crazy to see older pictures of almost every side character, because they looked so different back then

heesu and seung won have been sidelined since the very beginning. I'd recommend watching an edit of them on tiktok, Instagram or X, if your looking for the bl plot. You can probably summarize their whole storyline in about 2 mins

of course! definitely a bitter sweet one, but as I just read there is supposed to be second season!!!

basically fifa left to pursue his dreams of studying in japan, but left behind his rabbit head with the sentence written "miss me already?" and a song text containing a love confession. Hem says, that Fifa should continue doing what feels right to him and that he'll be waiting in the woods for him, if he decides to come back one day.

your comment is so dumb wtf

not the typical happy ending you think of, but definitely not a sad one

Found it kinda boring. I wished they focused more on one couple and not introduce 3 of them. Also they never really played soccer. Without skipping, I wouldn't have finished this series.

Exactly! Which is so so sad! I totally get why Manhwa fans are disappointed, even though I didn't read it myself

To give you a real answer: the cast is good, the acting is solid, and the love-square plot is actually pretty interesting. but the pacing is really really slow. The story mainly focuses on the second lead straight couple, with a lot of tennis and guitar scenes, and Heesu's character ends up feeling really flat. There's way too much miscommunication and barely any real BL development up until the very end.

Maybe I would've enjoyed it more if I hadn't gone in expecting a BL, and had seen it instead as a "coming-of-age, teenage queer love story." But I didn't... snd judging from the comments and the original manhwa, neither did most people.
