Good story with flaws
I just finished watching the series.
The story grew on me I have to admit, I loved the slow burn romance, that YoJom had time to get to know each other and through lots of fights and misunderstandings they started to understand and love each other and they built up their relationship brick by brick. It’s a very refreshing approach.
I loved the warm family feeling, the community, the Granny!, the comedy parts, also the cinematography is stunning!
I loved that this story has no unnecessary NC just for the sake of NC to attracting fans but the NC had the perfect timing and function at the peak of their relationship after 5 years of waiting. It was also beautiful choreographed and executed NC scene as expected from Saint, gentle and tender I liked it really.
What I didn’t like it’s the chemistry between Saint and Poom, I tried to see it but I still can’t, they have the most brotherly chemistry I’ve seen amongst BL couples and that took off from the value of the NC and overall of the romance of YoJom. No tension here, no fire, no yearning just 2 brothers trying hard to play lovers.
It’s like Jom as the guardian of Yothin has concerns to get into a relationship with Yo who’s much younger than him, I feel like deep down Saint as the CEO of IDF and the boss of Poom has the same concerns about playing lovers with his actor in MSJ, who’s even much younger than him and that put a wall between them they’re not like any other BL couples who consist of 2 equal partners.
About acting, Poom’s acting was ok but there were parts where he was weak, he couldn’t convey much emotions especially in dramatic scenes, he was quite good at the comedy parts though and I liked his scenes with AI boys they’re very natural maybe because of their closer age.
That was definitely not the big shining comeback of Saint to BL even if I loved his portrayal of Jom he did a fairly great job and I really loved the story.
I hope if Saint decides to make another BL he’ll choose a partner whom with he has much stronger chemistry, preferably someone outside of IDF and who’s more mature and having similar level of acting skills than him.
Overall I say you should give it a go if you are craving for a new approach of BL, something warm, light, easy to digest and charming.
