It's All About His First Awkward Gay High School Love!!
If you don't like the awkward moments and prefer sexy and romantic, sorry but go find a love story about experienced people. These students are new and awkward, and it's okay!! That's what this drama is about!! It's about learning and growing up!!
Some might not like how awkward the kissing scenes are, or how awkward the characters are with each other, but they are high school students and it's their first time experiencing everything. Of course it's not going to be all sexy and romantic, it's their first time! Everything is awkward and it works!!!

Personally, I would have rated it higher, but I didn't like the ending. The ending, while it was nice, it felt like there was an uncertainty to their future. Ending it on Sui's high school graduation without any mention of how they are going to handle the seperation didn't give us hope. Even one scene of Sui in college pick up Harutora or vice versa would have made everything better.
Anyways, on to the review of the plot. The plot isn't bad. It's about Harutora bringing Sui out of the shadows and helping him accept himself. Sui goes from being subtly bullied, to slowly being empowered. He doesn't make any grand changes. He takes slow baby steps as he grows more confidence and self esteem. Most of the time he is himself in front of Harutora, but reverts to his mouse-like self around others. While it can be a little frustrating to watch, it does show how much trust he has in Harutora.
As for Harutora... I wasn't really happy with Harutora. He brought out the best in Sui and seemed to want Sui to announce their relationship throughout the whole drama, but he never took any initiative to tell Sui he wanted to announce their relationship. Despite advocating for Sui to love and accept himself, he never really spoke about his own problems. Throughout the drama, he encouraged Sui to open up and tried his best to cater to him, which worked well until Sui became confident in himself. Once Sui became more confident and stepped out of the shadow, Harutora slowly found himself being upset that his relationship was hidden in the shadows, despite Sui being openly gay. I was waiting for Harutora to open up and express his dissatisfaction with it to Sui, but he never did. He only kept it to himself, which is why it was frustrating to watch. It was also the reason why I was disastisfied with the ending. If he had asked Sui to announce their relationship, or even if he announced it, I would have believed that their relationship would last past Sui's graduation. But because their announcement was never announced to their friends, it's hard to believe they lasted long.

Other than my nitpicking of Harutora and the ending, the drama was a fun watch. Watching Sui grow more confident in himself is really empowering and great to watch. However, you do have to remember they are high school students because there are lots of awkward moments, which if you remember their ages and that this is their first time experiencing anything, it fits in well. If you are expecting beautiful kiss scenes then this isn't it because it's awkward, but the awkwardness fits the theme of the drama well.
