Hesitancy ruined a great BL
Things I Liked:
Adorable characters: SeungWon and Heesu were incredibly lovable and easy to root for.
Honest portrayal: It captured how difficult it is to be queer, especially in South Korea.
Sibling relationship: Heesu’s bond with his sister was touching, especially the rooftop coming-out scene.
Music and visuals: Beautiful and perfectly matched the tender, emotional tone.
Heart-fluttering moments: Gave a Heartstopper-like feel with the blooming love.
Slow burn romance: Though a fan of slow burn, still a bit unsure if it fully worked here.
Journey to happiness: Watching Heesu and SeungWon's path to finding love and joy was satisfying.
Things I Didn’t Like:
Hesitancy in portraying queerness: The drama clearly held back and avoided going deeper.
Underused characters: SeungWon’s lesbian mom felt more like a plot device than a fully explored story.
Unresolved subplots: JuChan’s tennis dream and dad issues were left hanging with no closure.
Frustrating friendship dynamic: JuChan was a bad friend to Heesu, and the drama never addressed it properly.
Painfully cut confession scenes: Important emotional beats were rushed or skipped.
Self-absorbed reactions: JuChan made Heesu’s coming out more about himself, which was frustrating.
Messy sister’s love life: Felt random and poorly handled, adding unnecessary confusion.
