Despite all the whining surrounding this show, I liked it! If you're not oversensitive to present day social gripes, you'll enjoy iy too, for what it is. A show about a gay teenager who's struggling with who/why/what he likes and he's gotta' take it step by step according to his circumstances. Also he's kinda cutely dense.
Overall;
Eps 1 through 8 were well done, good pace, nice acting, all enjoyable.
Ep 9 fell off a bit, the writer might have been drunk or hungover when writing this episode.
Ep 10, I'd say landed well enough, about 75% good, and the other percent of it was shit, but the show was saved after all.
The SHIT bits of Ep 10:
Singing. I ALWAYS skip singing in ANY BL, as it is, waaaaaay too many BLs have some person singing something and it's NEVER entertaining, EVER. The scenes with Heesu and CY continued to be a waste of everyone's time because that friendship is shallow bs and nobody gaf. CY is one of the worst written 'friend' characters I've seen in a while because this guy's 'me me me' complex is exhausting jfc.
The 75% HIGHLIGHTS of Ep 10:
- Heesu coming out to his sister was a great scene, so well done!
- Heesu confessing to Seung Won in that classroom was well done too!
- Seung Won telling CY to (essentially) eff off and mind his own business was fantastic!
- Everything following Seung Won returning the confession to Heesu was SATISFYING AF. The line, "I wanted to show the stars." while sitting on that dark track field feeling all blushy and awkward and newly minted as mutually liking each other was Seung Won playing his sloth game at maximum level! LOL
And my 100% PERSONAL HIGHLIGHT OVERALL for this whole show:
- Lee Sang Jun, I RARELY find SK actors attractive, and he is one of those rare cases. He's 👌
Apparently he was in Connection, but it's fair I overlooked him, I saw no one but Ji Sung in Connection. He may be going on my fave Asian celebs list after some more consideration.
Right so, when I think back on eps 1-8 (which I enjoyed) and deduct 9 (which wasn't great) and then add the 75% of episode 10, weighing it up against my personal rating system, I'm giving this 8/10. Over all it's worth a one time watch. It won't make my recc list though, watching or skipping it, neither is a major loss.
A second season or special episode likely won't happen because I'm sure a majority of people are gonna rate and drag this down based on their personal sensitivities and tank any possible hope of that, but if they ever did make a follow up with Heesu and Seung Won continued, I'd watch it for sure.
So yeah, it was fun ✌️
