Honestly I've seen worse, but I've seen way way better too
I never write reviews because I'm not as accurate as some of you guys are, and some reviewers here are very professional and helpful. But this BL sent me into a rage fit every time something was off, and I opened the comments only to see people just loving every aspect of it.The overall drama could have gotten a 6, but I had to take that 0.5 off because of one character in particular.
The story itself was lacking in so many ways, the main character's first 5 minutes set him up to being someone that you most likely wouldn't like if you met him in real life. The only realistic evolution of a relationship is the one between the second couple and even there the plot holes were big enough to fit a small elephant.
The characters that I despised the most were the girl, honestly, she arrives knowing nothing and acts like a lil b? Why? Where is the context for those side eyes and that pettiness? But at least she stops pretty quickly (since everything is rushed anyway)
But what baffles me is that everyone loved Kluer, and found him cute. He seemed nice at first but then he quickly escalated to being kinda creepy to me, to then show his true colors.
And honestly, I hated how he behaved and how he decided that respecting others came after his own personal feelings.
Not cute, pretty annoying and then VERY annoying. Nah, everyone being sorry for him or finding him super cute, while I was literally fuming.
I guess this BL can be someone's cup of tea but if you want a story that makes sense, that isn't rushed, with well-rounded characters, maybe look for a different one.
Else if you're looking for a bl that needed at least another episode, but also felt way too long to watch... give it a go.

just what I needed
I never wrote a review before, but this one really convinced me to do it. I obviously watched the movie this is inspired to, but the experience was a whole different thing.The acting was so nice, the intensity of the emotions kept me hooked the whole time. I cried, I laughed and I squealed. It was so refreshing to see high schoolers from this perspective. I am too old to enjoy teen dramas without feeling nostalgic and looking at them almost as if they were my kids. So this POV was exactly as I expected it, it put things in perspective.
Something that really stood up for me was that for once they really let us have a drama-free drama. Don't get me wrong, the story itself and the emotions of the characters are enough to give you cry material for days, but every time the show hinted at a catastrophe it turned out to be actually something good (except for one particular moment that got resolved quickly). It kept me on the lookout for some big drama, some fighting scenes, and some scary moments... you know as usual we get those weird episodes where things get super bad before being good again at the end.
NOT THIS TIME, the plot was consistent, they kept it straight...the struggle and the pain the main character was feeling was already enough.
There were a few moments when my heart really broke for him... the parents' meetings. When the young Go Woo Young met both his father and then his mother in law... those scenes were so full of untold things and it was very touching.
I have no way of expressing how much I enjoyed Lee Do Hyun acting. His sweet smile, his intense eyes and his very touching crying scenes. A whole package. All actors and actresses were very enjoyable to me, the right amount of cheesy too, but it was in the nature of this story anyway.
Another mention is Wi Ha Joon, he played such a cool character, as always we all feel bad for the second lead but he was so graceful about it, and such a good man too. Loved this character.
No need to speak about Kim Ha Neul, she is a queen she was awesome ♥
To me this was a 10/10 mostly because even if the story may seem weird and cheesy, it really has some very deep moments that make you question your own choices and thoughts. It gave me happy tears and tbh now and then we simply need a drama like this.
100% would recommend and would totally watch it again
