I talk too much about Sunny, sorry!

Trigger warnings for rape, SA, nudity, alcohol & drug abuse, violence, bullying, death, murder, & self-harm

I may have missed some triggers, but I think I got the most important ones.

I have not read the manhwa, but I plan to when I have the time.

I was super excited about this series from the moment the trailer dropped. Going into this series, I was the most excited I've ever been to watch something outside of a Spider-Man or Harry Potter movie in theaters. I went into this series expecting to give it at least a 9/10, but I quickly came to realize that that wasn't going to happen. I still love and enjoyed the series, but it wasn't without its problems.

My first problem was with the OST. It was really good, but for the first 3 episodes it would randomly blow my eardrums out with loud violins or piano and completely overpower the characters specking. Thankfully, it didn't happen again after episode 3, but the fact that it happened at all was annoying & honestly painful since I have sensitive hearing. So while the OST was one of my favorite things about the series, it also started as the thing I hated most.

The acting was really good; I have no complaints. I think Shogun did a great job with the panic attacks. (I've had many panic attacks, so I like to point out if I think a person has done a good job or not.)

The Chemistry between all the actors was great, especially our main leads. Toptap and Min had really good kisses, and the NC scenes are like something I've never watched before. I'm not sure if that is a good thing or not because I still feel a little traumatized by how real they looked and felt. I normally clock out a bit during NC scenes because I'm honestly more interested in the kissing and cute/sweet moments (especially cuddles), but there was no clocking out for me in these scenes. My eyes were glued to the screen in disbelief and fascination. (Honestly, I'm the girl who was standing beside them in the bus scene.) I'm also a big fan of size differences~

The pacing of this series was really good, but the ending felt very rushed compared to the rest of the series. This is one of the Thai series that should have been longer. Again, I didn't read the manhwa, but I feel like they could have easily made this series 12-14 episodes long. It felt like a lot was missing that could have been shown to us. For example, how Jay's mother died, everything Sunny was going through after the deaths of his backers, what drove him to go to a loan shark, and whether he faced public repercussions that made him unable to work in entertainment; for some reason, I also felt like we missed some things in Jay & Sun's relationship. These things may not have been in the Manhwa, but I felt we should have seen a bit more of them.

The way the old men were handled also felt incredibly rushed. The pervert with the pacemaker death was fine for the most part, but I would like to know what video was sent to the police since Two-O never got to send the one to Sun. (Who was that boy, by the way? I thought it was Wave, but it wasn't, and we don't get a name. He deserves that at least after being killed by Sunny.) Is the one who shot the other old man the boy who was signed onto Dream by Jay's mother & then raped by the pervert? If he is, I feel like that flashback would have worked better in this moment instead of where we got it. Everything happened all at once with no buildup that would make you think things are going to end with murder. And as I said above, I would have liked to see more of Sunny during the events at the end. He was such an important person to our main character, but he felt brushed over even before Jay started things with Sun.

The whole show was building up to these 3 being taken down after all the lies, manipulation, and vile things they've done, only for it all to come to a head and conclude in like 15 minutes. It truly leaves you feeling dissatisfied, and the writing is very lazy.

Since I'm on characters, I've heard a lot of people say that Jay was toned down in this series, and if that's the case, I really wish they wouldn't have. He's a red flag, and if you're going to do a red flag character, you should take it as far as the work you are adapting did. Also, Jay wasn't as big a part of the show as I thought he would be. He wasn't really there for a good majority of the show, and when he was, it was just in small bursts. It's just weird that it felt like the supporting cast got more screen time than one of our leads. This made it hard to know anything about this man other than that he wants revenge and is obsessed with Sun. If Toptap and Min's chemistry weren't so good, this show would have been a major flop because Jay's lack of screen time makes it impossible to make this relationship believable. I believe they are sexually attracted to each other and compatible, but nowhere near love.

Sun, red flag or not, was a doll, and I want one for myself. He's so serious and awkward. The only annoying thing was when people said he looked 'ordinary' when he was downright adorable. I loved Sia Jo & Kajorn; Sun is definitely going to make them go prematurely gray. They were the comic relief that we didn't need, but I'm glad we had them. Besides the panic attacks, I don't really have many feelings about Sky. He was there, he was helpful, & he was traumatized. I also thought they were going to pair him with Boat's character at one point, & I'm still not sure if I'm disappointed that they didn't. Two-O wasn't a very present character, but they did a good job of making me worry about him.

Sunny. I wanted more of Sunny. To me, this man was more of a red flag than Jay, but with zero power to back it up. He pulls so much shit in the past & the present, and I didn't see enough. Sun was living a normal, albeit emotionless, life when he learned the role Sunny played in his brother's death, but the most we get from Sunny himself is just words. Most of them bragging. I wanted to see if there was any mental struggle in the decisions he made. If he ever once hesitated (sans murder) in the things that he did or had others do. He is the second most irredeemable character in the whole show and is Sun's target, yet he felt one-dimensional. After everything he has done, I didn't expect him to change; I just wanted to see some kind of internal struggle. Even if it was only for a moment.

I feel like I did nothing but complain about the series, but I really did enjoy it; I just felt like it was wasted potential. If they had made the series longer and given the characters, mostly Jay & Sunny, more depth, it could have been much better.

I'm not the biggest fan of vertical series because the format just isn't good. The run time will be the length of a movie, but it's choppy and repetitive & more often than not has no budget, a weak story, and not the best acting.

Even though the story for this series wasn't the strongest and it was repetitive, it at least had more budget than I've seen in other vertical series, and the acting was decent all around. Yin in particular did a great job bringing out each twin's personality in the limited time he was given. He & War also have such great chemistry & their kisses are always good, so the relationship felt real enough despite it kind of being an insta-crush.

Watching this, I completely forgot that it was an advertisement for Supalai Sense Condominiums, and honestly it did a great job. If I were moving to Thailand (I wish), I would consider them.

Not really much else to say. As vertical series go, this is one of the better ones.

Title is misleading I was expecting a 'daddy' kink & I'm disappointed.

No, but really, Saithan needed to call Sila "Daddy" at least once.

The subtitles were a bit off in the beginning & on the site I watched at least, they didn't translate the Korean in the first episode.

I was actually surprised by how much I enjoyed this series. I had positive thoughts going into it, but no real expectations, & I was pleasantly surprised when I found myself watching it without getting distracted. That being said, it probably helped that I sped through all the GL scenes like I was being paid to. I thought I would really like the pair at first, but they really had way more screen time than was needed, and I honestly didn't like Phae at all. I don't mind emotional or weak characters, but it felt like she spent half the series crying over something & doing nothing about it but seeking comfort from Gale. Some of their time should have been given to Saengla and Mok, who we don't really get a resolution for; technically, we don't even get a beginning, just a lot of hinting that the feelings are there.

I may have rated this series higher if the GL couple's screen time had been cut in half. Their parts added very little to the story that it could have easily been done, especially since they knew each other already and the attraction was already there.

My favorite character was Saithan. SaengNuea's acting was perfect in portraying a bratty but caring person with very little self-worth and plenty of trauma. (He's also adorable.) I was actually hoping that Sila would get to have a conversation with his mother & tell her about the damage she's mentally caused Saithan. Between the mother & the abusive asshole of a boyfriend, this boy needs therapy. He literally thinks that if anything bad happens, it's his fault; he doesn't like making mistakes, and his self-worth is in the trash, and he hides all of that behind a smile & a sassy attitude.

The plot twist was both obvious and a surprise. Wipa being a Spy for Khum Rimpha wasn't surprising at all; I kind of figured that out around episode 4 or 5, but her being Montri's illegitimate daughter actually caught me off guard. I don't see why any of the kids would do anything for this man; he treats them like they are disposable pawns that can never please him. Why do they want his acknowledgement? He's horrible. He's the kind of father who I would only stick around until I'm employed and able to stand on my own feet; after that, don't expect to see me again. The mom also just smiled and nodded like there wasn't a thought going on upstairs; the lady didn't stand up to her husband at all concerning her kids.

This was a short series that neither stands out nor fades into the background.

Not really worth the watch

This was basically a 6-part commercial for a printer and phone game. First Cat for Cash (which was better in my opinion) & now this. I really hope this isn't a sign of dramas getting specials only for them to be primarily or entirely for advertising.

It was nice to see Phuwin play a more comedic/eccentric role, and I did like the 4th wall break.

Finally watching this was like a weight being lifted off me

It took me so long to finally watch this one. I've had this show in plan-to-watch, undecided, back to plan-to-watch, to currently watch, then back to plan-to-watch over the last 10 months & I finally decided enough was enough and forced myself to sit down and start it. After the first episode, I started watching it at X1.5 & X2 speed, mostly X2, because everything just felt slow. Not the pacing per se, but the line delivery felt so slow that even at X2 speed I had to check a couple of times to make sure I wasn't watching at normal speed. I also knew that I was going to have to push myself to finish it in one sitting, or I was going to have a hard time making myself pick it back up.

That's not to say the series is bad; it's just that nothing really happens. It's definitely a coming-of-age story that focuses more on the friendship and romance of our main characters than actual problems. Except for episode 8, we actually got some drama there.

Before I really get into spoilers, let's talk about the things I liked
* The OP was sung by Phuwin
* Dunk and Lookjun's chemistry
* Dunk & Phuwin's kiss; it gave me a good laugh. The music room scene right after was also funny.
* The acting was all around great. Dunk's was especially good. White was my favorite character. I need more series with Dunk and Phuwin together.
* The sleepover was probably one of my favorite scenes because of how White and Lune were getting dragged into things.

Now into the spoilerly complaints!

Starting from the very moment Lune is introduced. It is utter bullshit that Lune isn't noticed by anyone. Were they going for a Kuroko's Basketball angle where he has such little presence that no one noticed him? I'm not buying it.

Another thing that bothered me just a bit is that Zen (AJ's character) comes back in episode 4 for what reason? Why was he there? Why did he get kicked out of school? What does that have to do with Lune? I was actually interested in knowing these things, but I will also acknowledge that they aren't important.

Ivy annoyed me a lot in the beginning because of how possessive and outright aggressive she was. It wasn't until she found out about Star and Lune dating that I actually started to like her at all.

Most of Star's friend group is in love with her. *Eyeroll* I hate this mainly because it's so overdone. Ivy and White going back to being her friends like nothing happened also felt unrealistic. It's almost like they didn't need any space from her at all before they were back to being her friend and watching her love someone else. That would hurt way too much to continue being around them like nothing happened. She didn't really treat them the best either; in my opinion, her lying to them felt more like avoiding the problem than sparing their actual feelings.

I don't think Lune agreeing to keep their dating a secret was right either, but he at least had a good reason. Trauma. Honestly, I'm more upset that he started the relationship in the first place. He knew White liked her, and even if she didn't like him back, that is still your current best friend. Someone who helped make you not invisible to everyone, who included you in things, who made sure that you knew you were welcome. At least do the boy the courtesy of telling him that you like the same girl. I know that Lune is introverted and is afraid of stepping on toes, but he's already doing that by sneaking around and lying.

When Star was being threatened by Sunny/Nana, it led to even more sneaking around and lying, & they ended up hurting White more than if they had just told him the truth from the start. The thing White fears the most is being alone, and while they were dating & Jewel was finding out what love is, that is all they did to the poor boy. It only got worse after the threats, and to be honest, he forgave them way too easily. I don't think it would have gone as smoothly if everything with Nana hadn't happened & Lune hadn't tried to find any way possible to help. Also, I don't think Lune should have taken most of the blame. You've known the boy for a few months (maybe a year), & Star is one of your best friends from middle school. She should have been the one telling White that she liked Lune.

Star was easily my least favorite of the main characters. She was too much of a damsel in distress. One that apparently can't do anything wrong. Not only were she and Sera literally the same character, but also she explains to the 2 people that love her about her problems with Lune instead of the boy himself. SHE was the one who said they should include Sera in things to make great memories of her remaining time with them. The moment she became insecure or felt like he was spending more time with Sera than she should have spoken up. Not talk to other people. Not wait until she became irritated and angry. But talk to Lune and change how things were going. Did she have a right to be mad? Oh, 100%. Sera is Lune's ex who still has feelings for him, and Lune is still attached to her even if it's mainly guilt. Doesn't change the fact that she started it and then was too afraid to speak up and then played the victim like she was the only one in the relationship trying to make things work when she never spoke up. So yeah, she had the right to be mad, but I don't feel sorry for her. The only thing Lune did wrong here was be blinded by the guilt he was feeling and failing to compartmentalize. He deserved an apology from her, but never got it.

The only other thing that I didn't like was that Jewel & Tan didn't get enough screen time to make it believable that a playboy like Jewel just stopped being a playboy for him and got serious. I also wanted to see White and Ivy find love at the end. It didn't have to be with each other, even though I would have liked that, but even a hint would have been nice. They are the characters that get emotionally hurt the most in the series, and they got no love at the end.

So yeah, this is a series that I will never rewatch unless you pay me.

The Thai version was better

Before I start, I think it's important to note that I enjoyed the original special more than the original series. I liked the character dynamic more and was overall more interested in their romance. They could have made this parallel couple & their story the main series, and I would have been thrilled. It's the same with the remake.

There is no difference between the Thai version and this one, other than the runtime. For some reason, they also decided to give us less than half the 2nd episode for our parallel couple before jumping back to the original. Did we really need to see the original couple at all? We got some NC scenes we didn't need, and they could have cut less from the original version's parallel couple.

If you were satisfied with the Thai version, I don't think there's any need to watch this remake, and if, like me, you are hoping for a better series, you are most likely going to be disappointed. That being said, I don't regret watching it.

A remake

As remakes go, I felt like this one wasn't needed. However, while a lot of it felt too compressed for a story about parallel worlds, I liked the ending better than the original. We actually got a resolution. I didn't like the original very much because it didn't explain the space between the parallel worlds at all, and I like to understand Sci-fi & fantasy elements of a story, not just go with the flow with no hope of understanding. The ending of the original was also, for lack of a better word, shit. By the end of that series, we should have seen the mother get everything she deserved and more, but no, let's just trade one son for the other. (This still pisses me off) At least in this one, we get to see the mother have a downfall, even though it was very quick and not nearly satisfying enough. Still, it was better than the original.

Another thing that I liked over the original is that I felt that Shoma fit the role of Sara/Cir more than Boss. Maybe that's because I'm so used to seeing Boss in more commanding and alpha man roles that it just felt wrong to see him play an obsessive stalker. Shoma kind of has that same aura, but it didn't feel like he lost it in this role; he downplayed it a bit. Maybe it's less noticeable because of the smaller cast? Not sure. To me, he just fit the role better.

I really do think the original is better in almost every way, and you can tell the budget was way higher. Honestly, if it's not a Thai series, I don't expect the budget to be very high for a BL drama. Compared to the budget for other Japanese series, I would say this runs somewhere in the middle.

On to the stalking. I think when it came up in the original, I was past the point of caring, but in this one I was suitably unsettled. If I had been in Fuu's shoes, I would have been freaked out and would have probably been scared to be alone. They make the stalking out to be a form of caring for a person you love, but can't be with & we should just look over it. We can't. Or at least I can't. At least in this version it felt like Sara wasn't as unhinged, and it really was just the only way he could think of to show he cared and to keep himself going. Sara knowing so much about Fuu was scarier than Cir, though. In the original, however, I was really scared for Phukan. Cir felt like he was a danger to Phukan and himself. The boy had mental problems. It felt like if the relationship went south, then Cir would do something completely unhinged.

I will say that I really like that Shoma & Takuto have done 2 BossNoeul remakes. Normally in dramas from countries outside Thailand, I don't see many actors reappearing in a series together. It was honestly a little weird in a good way. I would like to see these two in their own series together, not just a remake.

If you were satisfied with the Thai version, I don't think there's any need to watch this remake, and if, like me, you are hoping for a better series, you are most likely going to be disappointed. That being said, I don't regret watching it.

I got bored

I went into this series with zero expectations. I loved Winny and Satang in We Are, but I was dragging my feet when it came to this series because I was pretty sure I wouldn't like it. Why? I am not sure, because the summary makes it sound like something I would really be into. That being said, my gut feeling wasn't wrong.

Thinking about it, I think my main problem with the series was the fact that I never once felt like Wave/Davin was in danger. It felt like I was watching 10 1-hour-long slice-of-life episodes about a prince with amnesia & a hot-headed city boy falling in love, with side couples that got more than enough screen time. (I honestly didn't even care about the side couples.) There was no running or hiding or stress; it was just a couple of bad guys showing up only to be dealt with almost immediately. We don't see any of what the royal family was going through or how the rebellion was dealt with. Important things in my book that were just handled off-screen. Pheng running for village head was more stressful.

In my opinion, they spent way too much time on the side characters when they could have added actual conflict between the rebels and our main cast and Davin's family, and made the situation feel like something other than a mild annoyance.

I also didn't really believe the love between Wave & Lava. I did on Wave's end because he lost his memory & Lava is literally the one he's around all the time, & taking care of him. On Lava's end, it felt like it came out of nowhere & wasn't something that would have lasted a year of not talking to each other. I really don't think they are ready to get engaged after dating a few months and then not contacting each other for a year. I feel like it was just unrealistic that someone could wait for someone else that long without their feelings changing when the other person may get married. I will say it would have been interesting to see a Prince Lava lmao.

I don't have anything to really say about the chemistry other than I checked out during the NC scenes. I just wasn't interested. The kisses seemed okay; at least they weren't the worst I've seen by far.

The acting was probably the best thing about the series. The only complaint I have is that there was one scene where I felt Lava would have cried if he really loved Wave, and when he did cry at the end of the series, it just didn't look real.

It's disappointing because this plot had a lot of potential, but it felt like they were afraid to do anything that would push the age rating above PG-13.

This move was weird

This is my first movie review & I'm honestly not sure where to start, so I'm doing a likes and dislikes list.

Things I liked:
* The way it was filmed.
* Fighting choreography was decent.
* Jin just saying "f**k it" & just desides to kill his rapest.

Things I didn't like:
* The script was confusing. Like there was enough there to connect the dots, but sometimes it was unnecessarily confusing and violent.
* I don't understand Kai's obsession with Jin.
* They don't show us some things. For example, Jin's arson & his death.
* The rape reenactment at the beginning shouldn't have made me laugh. But it did. I feel really bad about that, and I really hope that victims in Japan don't really have to do this. Telling the story would be bad enough without having to show the police step-by-step what happened and what was said.
* Jin should have simply moved to another city. I get that Kai wasn't the rapest, but he admitted to it and was following Jin everywhere and was causing problems whether he meant to or not.
* The singing at the end was psychopathic.
* The RAPPING was so bad that I skipped large parts of it or played it at X2 speed. The music parts in general weren't good. There were also way too many of them, and they lasted too long. Also, I get that Kai was trying to help Jin get over his rape by making him rap about it, but it was creepy.
* The ending. After all the shit Jin went through, we couldn't give him a happy ending? How did Kai not wake up while Jin was being killed? How did Jin die anyway? His rapest/killer was heavily burned and in pain; you couldn't even see his face, so how did Jin, who had learned how to fight & was in perfect health (in comparison), lose?
* If you're going to try to kill someone, especially when that someone is rich & powerful, maybe make sure that they are dead? Just a suggestion.
* How did Mr. Rapest find them at the end? They were in the middle of the woods. Even if it was the location Jin followed them to previously, why would he go there randomly? I don't think he followed them because he had to bandage himself up, and a long time had passed. IDK, it just felt very random.

The movie wasn't bad. If they took out all of the music/rapping parts and focused more on exploring Jin and Kai's backgrounds and relationship, I maybe would have been sad, more than annoyed, at the ending.

This plot had a lot of toxic potential

If this series had been given more time to build up a backstory for the established relationship and give us drama with the other love interest and the family, this could have been something REALLY good. As it stands, it was still good for 4 short episodes.

I understand Yu Jun's low self-esteem and self-hatred when it comes to his relationship with Yeon Ho, and I would have loved to have seen it build up and overflow. The biggest problem in the series is Yu Jun not communicating his feelings to Yeon Ho and just assuming that he would be better off without him. I hate that their problems got defaulted to a lack of communication because it's super annoying. Especially given how Yeon Ho was giving off some serious red flag signals, and I was excited to see some possessive and obsessive moments, and we got really nothing. I was hoping for things to take a dark turn, but we got a healthy apology and a promise not to be so overbearing. Which I guess is all Yeon Ho could do since he isn't CEO levels of rich like most other red flags.

I wish they had focused more on the relationship and its issues instead of introducing another love interest. In a normal-length series, that would have been fine, but it's really unnecessary in these shorter series. This is a 15-year-long relationship, and they have been dating for 3 of those; there was plenty there to work with.

Overall, this series was an easy 30-minute watch that I don't regret. I'm just disappointed because it had a lot of potential.

Acting was okay & the OST was fine.

This is a very short series, so I didn't expect much in the way of plot, which was good, because we got very little outside of a walking red flag. Tae Jun creeped me out from the very first episode & he only seemed to get creepier with each passing minute. Who gets so obsessed with someone for following and unfollowing them and then leaving them on read? I'm not saying this isn't possible; I'm sure it's happened, but Tae Jun takes it into psycho territory. I'm sure if this had had a longer run time, we could have gotten something very interesting.

The only other thing that was annoying was the very abrupt transitions. Some of them also happen at the worst moments, and it cuts the flow of the story.

Cute boys, with no plot

This was sadly one of the series that will go in the "I will never remember it" pile. There was no plot. The only real redeeming factor was that the actors were cute and the acting was okay.

When I started the series, I was undecided about watching the sequel, but by the time I finished it and they left us on a "cliffhanger," I had just lost all interest. I'm sorry, but the situation wasn't interesting enough to continue. Especially since the problem shouldn't even cause that much of a fuss; they could have most likely solved whatever is going to happen by just adding another episode to this season.

If you're interested in watching this series, I would still give it a try because it has a very short run time & is easy to watch, and honestly, it's far from the worst thing I've seen.

Short, sweet, and to the point while somehow still feeling like a slow burn.

This was a cute short friends-to-lovers series that has no drama and is perfect to watch if you want to just switch your brain off for a little while. The plot isn't stressful, and it's something that I could easily see made into a movie.

I was under the impression that this series took place mainly in high school, but it actually has a time skip. The time skip felt kind of abrupt because the characters had just made plans & then suddenly they are in college.

No Yun U's (Ju Do Wan) acting impressed me; he perfectly conveyed how nervous his character was & you could see the longing in his eyes. It's sad that with a short series, you don't have time to learn anything about the characters. Not background or personality.

I don't have any complaints about the acting overall & the chemistry was alright.

I hate open endings

I especially hate them if it brings in some supernatural bullshit that they just don't explain at all. I mean, what even happened? Did time get reset? I don't think that would solve the dying problem. Especially since the only reason Zhan Wang was in this town in the first place was that he was dying. Didn't Xu Yuan trade in all his lifespan and luck for Zhan Wang to live a long, healthy life as well? Wouldn't that trade one life for the other? Can I just pretend that the comet killed them both and this is just another timeline? Honestly, one is just as confusing as the other.

Also, why is there just suddenly a comet that is going to destroy the town? Good on the comet, though, because good riddance; this whole place could use a good reset. Most of the people are horrible. I live in a small farming town where gossiping is a pastime, and it's not even this bad.

Specking of horrible, the father isn't the worst I've seen, but there is still no redeeming him, especially with the half-assed effort they put into it.

The acting was alright. Yu Qi (Zhan Xu) was very stiff & his character had so little personality that I couldn't care less about him or Bian Ye. They didn't have good chemistry either. Same with the GL couple; it was there, but they could have removed it and it wouldn't have negatively impacted the story at all.

If Zhan Xu is the second brother, where is the first?

Zhan Wang and Xu Yuan had decent chemistry. I really liked their cuddles. To me, the kissing can be possible if a good cuddle is included. I also really loved that they gave each other couple tattoos. Did it make sense that not only did they know how to use a tattoo gun, but did so perfectly and made perfect matching tattoos? Not at all, but it's different. I've only seen it done a couple of times. For some reason, I also liked Xu Yuan wearing Zhan Wang's necklace. This isn't a new thing, but for some reason it hit a bit different with these two.

The series also had a few inconsistencies & just questionable moments, especially in the beginning. Like the classroom would be empty one second and full the next. A new kid gets introduced to the class, and for some reason the teacher lets them socialize like they didn't have a class to start. Our characters would be randomly walking in an area for no reason we are given, just to run into trouble. We also, for some reason, have an NC scene between two couples when shit was going on that 100% made it not the right moment for an NC scene. There are a few other things, but I think I've made my point. All of these little things don't seem like much at first, but they add up.

On a side note, were the front shot of the school, its landscape, and the sky transition shots made with AI? If they aren't, they look like it.

Another middle of the road drama

I wasn't expecting much because it's only 6 episodes long, but I will admit that it was alright. It wasn't given enough time to really make it interesting. The ending also felt a bit rushed, and that was maybe because the main characters got together when, up to that point, the chemistry wasn't anything special, and the tension was barely there. This is one of those dramas that falls in the 'meh' category. It wasn't bad, but it also wasn't memorable.

I have to give them credit for making a BL drama with decent production value, acting, and script with very few episodes to do it in.
