Our Ball Boy definitely hides some tactics under his hood!

A revolutionary BL that shook the BL universe by just uttering two words, i.e. "I'm gay". Can you just believe it? Is it the same K-BL?

The story revolves around two athletes fighting for their hearts while being vulnerable under the scrutiny of the pressure from the world.

If I'm being honest, I liked the first four episodes and then episodes 5 and 6 really disappointed me, but what happened in the last two episodes just shook me to the core. Why? Let me explain — we know athletes go through immense pressure of performance, public perception and not creating any rumors. Within this stressful setting, they continue to perform, but stress never gets better even when they retire; just exactly what happened to Jiwon. Incidents from his past still haunt him, making him feel uncomfortable wherever he goes. Watching him struggling and letting out his words overwhelmed me with all kinds of emotions. But the last two episodes really did clear the confusion for me and Jungwoo as well. We got "The Talk", the clearing session that is missing in 90% of the dramas. It was refreshing! Last episode just gave me butterflies in various shapes, colors and sizes. Definitely helped me increase the ratings.

Overall, it's a cute, intense and lovely drama that makes bad days better in an instant. Highly bingeable!
