Italophilia

Having been in a friends-to-lovers situation, I get why neither of them wanted to risk losing their friendship once their feelings started to change. Ji Hoon witnessed what their close girl friend went through when she confessed and lost her friendship with Ba Woo, and he didn't want that. He was happy to remain by his side as a friend, as long as they could be together. And Ba Woo kept his own feelings inside until he could no longer do so. His confession was not heard though, because "I like you" is something friends say to one another. It didn't let let a dense and clueless Ji Hoon know that it was a different kind of "like."

I was commiserating with the characters' feelings of being misunderstood, because that's how it felt when I was in my late teens and my early 20s. I was still learning how to communicate my very large feelings to a guy whose personality was very different from mine. We met the first week of university and were in the same friend group. Although I didn't spend all my time with them, I enjoyed being with them as time allowed. My guy and I started dating after knowing each 3-1/2 years; we've been together over 36 years now.

What I liked:
* The 3 main leads' acting.
* Ha Min was an interesting character and conflicted once his own feelings started to change.
* GL representation
* OST

What could've been changed: I wouldn't have minded if they had it one episode shorter and resolved the misunderstanding sooner.
