This could've and should've been one of the best BL series from this year! I just have zero clue what even happened in the plot. I loved seeing Jin and Akin's relationship from the mentorship beginnings to actual lovers. I thought that the production aspects were really cool, though I also work in production so I may be biased haha. What started to lose me was the issues with the sasaeng aka stalker and Akin, as well as just us AGAIN in a BL needing some element of SA in the plot. We really don't and it just made me feel icky and also had me angry at Jin's character for a hot minute. Dude was way to quick to not reading the trauma on Akin's face and body after the fact, like be a better partner! He did redeem himself after awhile, but also I will forever say Johnny deserves JAIL and nothing less. The sasaeng stuff though was wild. Letting her go with a very lackluster warning and allowing the VICTIM to be in a room with her alone. Absolutely not. Overall, Smart and Boom are amazing and their chemistry is strong as hell (even with the unfortunate stuff going on right now with management). I am also now a total Boom simp, that man is just beautiful omg.
