I’ll start with the obvious. With the amount of BLs out currently which are extremely popular and the general recent surge in the amount of BL. This show should’ve just been gay. I’m not saying they have to kiss or even acknowledge they’re dating properly but forcing Pio into a lavender relationship? Super unnecessary. And omg at least let them hug why are we scared of a bit of physical touch.

Jaein as a character was actually written well but they didn’t need to make her be in love with Pio. Eventually taking over her mother’s position and being an anchor between Pio and Jeongyo was more than enough to make her a worthwhile and important character! She can comfort Pio without having to be dating him!!!

On a different note I enjoyed everyone’s acting! There were some awkward points particularly when they were in Europe. I respect that acting in another language takes a lot of skill so I won’t say much but I can’t deny the awkwardness in those scenes…

Song Kang is in no way a bad actor and I’ve watched many of his dramas but I will say I was a teeenie but disappointed this time round, not enough to be upset but it was more noticeable to me. Additionally the early episodes with school uniform felt strange as I do think both lead actors are a little too old to be acting in a school uniform- nonetheless it didn’t impact my viewing experience much!

Going back to the scenes in Europe I was disappointed visually as there were some stunning scenes filmed in Korea but that same aesthetic didn’t carry over. Some parts felt like a travel vlog and I would’ve hoped they could’ve made it more consistent.

Enough negatives! It was a great show and I was at the edge of my seat!! Watching each episode week by week really added some fun to my life and I found myself itching to know what would happen next. The plot twists and suspense kept me on edge and I felt myself empathetic to many of the characters. Though the ending was bittersweet in some aspects I was glad they at least met each other again with a smile.
