This drama featuring a quite heated BL friends-to-lovers relationship started surprisingly well but unfortunately did not hold up. I really enjoyed the start of the story that showcased a lot of pining and obsession, full of red flags moments as well as believable level of skinship, making sense in the context of the feelings build up and discovery.

However, the way the story wrapped up was quite disappointing. The last arc exposed numerous weaknesses in writing, with also failures from the production side in conveying the proper meaning of the ending dialogs. Forcing production crew to even issue an explanation after the episode release. The budget also felt quite limited and the acting a bit robotic and awkward (mostly on Seong In Ho side, Kim Do Min being much more natural).

I would recommend this to people that enjoy friends-to-lovers relationship. The angst was very good at first with the story setting properly stakes and with a shift in the relationship entertaining to follow. It is certainly not without flaws as I found the acting was a mixed bag (rather unbalanced between the leads) and the ending felt rushed and awkwardly articulated.
