Perfect BL for beginners
This was an easy-to-watch series with solid acting & is very light on the BL. Light on the romance, really. The most intimate thing that happens is hand-holding. I'd recommend this series to anyone wanting to get into BL who doesn't want it to be the focal point of the series, or see any NC scenes. I feel like the pacing was also good considering very little was actually going on.
The actors all have really good chemistry; It made the friendships and the family dynamics (even though some are VERY unresolved) more believable. It also helped that most of the characters were emotionally intelligent enough to understand what was happening without having to be told.
I do hate the miscommunication trope, but this time it bothered me very little because I could sympathize with them for not being able to confess & feeling rejected (confession or not), and not being able to move on. This show also showed how one lie can snowball into another & become a bigger & more stressful problem as time goes on, and I think they handled it alright. It could have been better; it could have been worse. Seung Won definitely learned from his mistake & that's what's important.
The way the scenes were laid out is also something I don't normally like, but they made it work in this series in a way that made the story feel complete instead of disjointed.
The only thing I would have changed is that I wanted to spend more time with Hui Su and Seung Won as a couple. We built up to it for so long that it felt like we deserved more.
