Endyy

Start from episode 4 or 5

Honestly, the whole series would've been great. I really didn't like the first 4 episodes, they were definitely tiring and really uninteresting. They didn't have any value and acted like fillers so the show would have more episodes. Besides story line with Miae, son-mother relationship and Go Young's "religious trauma" - if you even can call that because it was not fully explained - they were just shitty. It would definitely fit in one or maybe two episodes, instead of four. Many other novel based series just cut most (if not all) of the unnecessary scenes out.
In the last episode the story line was jumping from Go Young's and Gyuho's trip to Thailand and his trip with Habibi. Why couldn't it be the case for 2(3) relationships that were in the first episodes (if we include the random guys that had 2 minutes of screen time). Changing the story line of novels in shows is such a common thing, why not do it here? The HIV thing was a really random, but if done correctly it honestly could've been the main point of the show since the beggining.
To touch down on the production and acting itself, I can say that I liked it? The thing that threw me off is the scene in the second episode where Go Young was using a lash curler. I feel like the producers or the directors just yelled "act like the most stereotypical gay man" and Nam Yoonsu just had to do it. The stereotypes are definitely showing during some scenes and it sometimes was unbearable to watch, but overall I don't think it was bad.
For a show that has a cast known for being in Netflix shows and winning many awards for acting, I expected something better. Definitely won't rewatch
