Platonic BL story: archery, trauma and friendship. Sweet but quite forgettable ^^

The story is quite simple and straightforward witch each protagonist dealing with his specific challenges and growing a friendship together. There is not a lot happening but it is never boring.

The casting was ok: the two main leads are really handsome idols which makes the show a very charming ride to follow. Acting-wise, I did not feel totally the romantic chemistry that was supposed to be portrayed. For me, the actors' performances were more featuring a strong friendship (quite similar to the ones in some K-pop boyband groups) than a sizzling romance.

I liked a lot the OST of this drama. Especially the opening which is such a cute pop song with an old school vibe: it was un-skippable! The production was quite good with a lot of pretty scenes showcasing the actors: it almost looked like they were producing a MV rather than a series. I particularly enjoyed the archery scenes as well, those were particularly soothing.

I would recommend this to people looking for a sweet bingeable BL drama in a school setting. It might be triggering because of some traumatic experience depicted in the show but it is mostly a very pleasant watch not that memorable.
