Edited on 7/18/2025: This is an updated version of my original review to match my current writing style for BL series that were edited into a movie version.
I placed any potential spoilers at the end of this review.
The series/movie: This series was ok. It was not as good as the first season, but I still enjoyed it. The general story idea was good, but not the execution. The script had many weak aspects and was confusing at times. There were times the script was on point, but then felt rushed in other areas. However, the acting was very good considering what they had to work with. My main problem is they used a completely different cinematography style from the first series. Especially during the scenes involving the color rush. I knew it was going to be hard to compete with the first season, but it felt like they didn’t even want to try. However, this was probably due to production cost. There were also some audio/sound problems with both versions.
The movie: They did an incredible job editing this into one cohesive movie. There were some nice added scenes in the movie and only one scene was cut short. There is one scene that involves Choi Yeon U and Kim Se Hyun talking which uses completely different camera shot size/angle between the series and movie. The series has this scene played out in a long/wide shot while the movie has it played out with a close-up of the two talking. There were also some scenes that’s missing background music.
Random Note:
The series has a hint of a possible 3rd season at the end of episode 8 after the closing credits. Interestingly, the movie didn’t include this scene.
The synopsis of the series/movie on Viki and MDL is not accurate. It’s a butchered mix of information from the first and second season with a splash of completely wrong information.
******Potential Spoiler Alert******
They did their best explaining why the character Go Yoo Han was missing.
The last scene in the series hints reintroducing the character Go Yoo Han possibly being played by a different actor.
