Started off well, had some dumb character angst in the middle, ended well
It's all in the headline.
This started off like a great series, subverting tropes, showing communication, green flag behaviour, immediate interest in each other, good intimacy, no drama.
Then we got some drama due to *Jiwon* being insecure and messing things up and hurting Jungwoo in various ways. No cheating or breakups for anyone concerned. But we had some angsty hurt moments.
They made up in the end and it was a happy ending. But the obsession Jiwon had with Jungwoo in the first couple of episodes never came back around. It was all on Jungwoo to carry the relationship after he realised his interest. Although Jiwon was the one who apologised and made up for his behaviour (not enough grovelling in my opinion but if Jungwoo wants to forgive him and be with him instead of punishing him then that's understandable). Still rewatchable for the subverted tropes and the great early episodes. Had very good kissing and intimacy, especially for a KBL, in case that matters to anyone.
Also, the ballboy tactics title is a bit weird (too much innuendo lol) and initially put me off from watching the show but it never really came into play in the series. Apparently a ballboy is just someone who picks up basketballs in the court.
