Don’t watch with a BL mindset.
I placed spoilers at the end of this review.
This has more of a coming of age/slice of life vibe involving an ensemble cast. Yes, there is a BL storyline but it’s not the main focus throughout the series. People will probably be very disappointed if they go into this with a fixed BL mindset. That being said, this was not a big deal for me. Overall, this was a cute and enjoyable series. The script was good, but not perfect. Although it was cool to see the different aspects of having a crush, the script introduced many various story elements without fully committing to them. They introduce a lot of random things in which was ignored and conveniently reference it to only forget about it again. It was a little annoying but it’s only a minor problem considering this is a 10-episode series. However, there was one big aspect that became my main source of frustration. Especially during the first section of the series (see spoiler below if you want more info). This is going to be an unpopular opinion, but I really liked all of the characters. The one good aspect of the script was it made me care about them. This was also thanks to the cast. The actors did a great job with their characters. This also had great music and cinematography.
Random Notes:
This was an enjoyable and easy watch. If you’re looking to watch a series that’s not overly dramatic and comforting, this one is for you.
As I note in my profile, I do not read source material for series. This is probably why I enjoyed this series.
******Potential Spoiler Alert******
The main source of frustration for me was watching how clueless Hui Su was with Seung Won’s very obvious hints about his feelings towards him. Either the script or the director could have made this aspect more subtle to make it more believable that Hui Su did not know it in the last episode.
I understand that this is an adaption of a webtoon with the same name, but they should have given this series a different name. The main common theme with each episode involved astronomy and really had nothing to do with Hui Su giving advice at school.
