K-Drama 
This does not deserve a higher score
Well, I got through the whole series and for that, I’m giving myself a pat on the back.
There are genuinely funny moments, mostly with Max being a goofball while Nat is playing the straight man. There are some romantic moments, because the guys do have chemistry and they’re well-known for being able to pull off NC scenes. This alone, however, does not a good BL make.
The story was a dumpster fire of nonsense. The best I could say about it is that it’s incoherent. I’ll leave judging the cinematography to other people; I’m here for the writing and characters, and we have to be honest and say that both absolutely suck, with the exception of Max doing his best impression of Willy Wonka. Once they get back from the tropical paradise, the already-very-ropey plot falls apart and stays muddled until the end, and the last couple of episodes after they get together are unwatchable.
I can’t comment on any secondary couples because they were barely on screen.
I can’t give it a very low score because it isn’t as bad as it could have been, and Max was great fun to watch. But it absolutely does not deserve the 9’s and 10’s some people are giving it. The criticism it’s getting in other reviews is well-deserved.
(Sad to see Max and Nat being done dirty with horrible writing; I maintain that Max is a phenomenal physical actor and deserves much better.)
