I think you skipped the movie scenes from the beginning and only watched the backstage scenes probably why it feels boring to you. The movie scenes are important because they linked into the main story. The episodes also address sexual assault and what male victims go through in a dignified and respectful manner which very few BLs do.

I think they dedicated this entire episode to the movie plot so they can focus the remaining episodes on their real life story. but still 12 episodes are too short

Yes, 12 episodes are too short since they're covering two stories. Based on the novel, their real-life story alone needs a lot of episodes to do it justice. I wish they had made it two seasons instead or reduce the screen time of movie they are filming ( dramas no need to always 100% accurate with novel in my opinion). Anyways based on episode 7 spoiler we get to see more of their real life story

You guys end to understand that drama plot they are filming is equally important because it's not fake and that is the plot twist

This is one of the few dramas that actually deserved more than 20 episodes especially since it's telling two stories. I just hope they don't rush the ending or give us another season

12 episodes are too short to cover both stories. It should have been at least 16–20 episodes.
