The manga is one of my favorites (coming out in English later this year and already out in German), and this is one of the first BL dramas I've seen that not only sticks close to a BL manga, but also cast superb male leads that were just as wonderful as the manga characters. (Comparable to the fabulousness of Cherry Magic, IMO). Highly recommend.
I love Korean BLs but this one isn't doing it for me. Not sure if it's the acting or just a bad script. Dropping.
Yep, Park Jeong Woo's acting is pretty bad, way over the top, at least up to where I've watched at the end of Ep. 3.
Sure, it's his first main role, so I'm cutting him some slack but it makes watching the show a bit annoying. I do think Park Young Woon does a great job, but I'm like you, losing interest and only on Episode 3. Will probably finish it though, as it's short, and I do like supporting BL dramas even if they're not always my cup of tea.
EDIT: Just finished Ep. 4 -- yep, acting is very bad. Park Young Woon is the standout, but many of the others don't understand the difference between over the top completely unbelievable acting, and comedic timing IMO.
Why is it odd a man is still a virgin in his late 20s but when it is a woman she’s just expected to be a virgin…
And also picking a fight calling people 'racist' because they disagree with he/she. And even stupidly calling someone a racist who literally lived in Asia for the better part of two decades, speaks two Asian languages almost fluently (so I do understand local cultural norms), and had 100% Asian co-workers/friends for well over 14 years.
And what is fascinating about people like this, and I think you hit the nail on the head when you said "typical 20-something tossing around empty, inflated, socio-political jargon", is that they are usually white (no idea if he/she is, don't care) and rushing to defend Asians from the 'big bad white person slamming them'.
Meanwhile, just about every Asian I know would tell them to go f*ck themselves, as they sure as heck don't need a white knight charging in to defend them. They're quite adept and intelligent enought to defend themselves, thank you very much ;)
Does it have the same vibe with the webtoon? I dropped the webtoon
Yes, but the webtoon/manwha is much better. I've already dropped the drama, and I loved the webtoon, so if you dropped the webtoon, I'd say give this one a miss :)
I enjoyed the first 2 episodes, but I wish the chemistry was better. To me, the kiss on the cheek felt way too…
It's because in the manwha it's a full-on proper kiss, so far more interesting than this. Unfortunately, Korean dramas tend to 'sanitize' kisses, especially between men. And honestly, it's why I've already dropped this drama, as the manwha is just so much better.
Sorry. Wanted to like this, just didn't. Beautifully filmed, but very very slow moving and, honestly, I didn't care about anyone in it. Dropped after Episode 2.
child actors were good, but nothing happend all the time. I fast forwarded many scenes. 1h/episode is way too…
Agreed. Empress Ki is phenomenal, and so much better than this (which reminds me, I don't think I have it on my watched list?). I dropped The King's Affection after 2 episodes, as I was bored through 2/3 of it. Can't imagine watching 18 more episodes of this.

I want to watch this cuz they won but the reviews and past comments tell me not?!?!idk
I'd say skip it. I've just finished Episode 2, which didn't hold my attention at all, and with 18 more to go, there's no way I'm wading through about 20 hours more of this. Even watched at 1.5 speed, it's dull.
Wow tf y’all their sex scene was explicitly explained and justified. I think some of y’all need to be more…
That's one thing I often think about people leaving reviews or comments on My Drama List -- a lot of them seem to be either teenagers, or people who have never been in a relationship, as so many don't seem to understand what being in one is like. It's strange, IMO, but it does make me laugh at some of the comments :)
This has ended up being one of my faves of the year, and I didn't expect it. Choi Si Won is fabulous as Jae Hoon, a guy who is too nice for his own good, so is constantly being pulled into whiny Ji Yun's pity party. While Lee Da Hee does a great job as the woman who wants to be in a relationship, picks a guy she should never have trusted, while running from the guy who has always been good for her.
Then again, when you have been friends for years, it's incredibly difficult to move beyond that. Because, if things don't work out, you usually lose the person as a friend, as well as a romantic partner.
The drama is well-written, every character is cast perfectly and, it is looking very much like John Jang will end up with Ji Wan. And, for that, I couldn't be happier.
Im gonna give it 9.5 from first episode cause i really loved it especially since paramedics, cops and firefighters…
It's two seasons of 12 episodes. The second season is already scheduled to air during second half of 2023. So yep, there will be a bit of a wait but, if it turns out to be as good as the first episode, well worth the wait, IMO.
Hard to continue watching this as Choi Sang Eun is such an idiot, and Kang Hae Jin is beyond annoying. 10 episodes in, and I will finish it but, good Lord, could we get a K drama without such ridiculous plot twists and spineless characters once in a while?
