Heesu’s epitome of slow-burning romance
Cutesy and feel-good BL drama with main characters who are so sheepish about love. I was invested in Hee Su and Seung Won’s story more than anyone from the series. One is oblivious and the other is too shy– my soft boys.
As a fan of Lee Sang Jun since the beginning of his acting career, I remember how happy I was when he was announced to star in a BL show. His physique and masculinity are so far from the Kim Seung Won that we know, but he still managed to be the cutest and performed a well-portrayed character.
It was another series of one fall first, but the other one fell harder. Just watching them to be clingy at the end was enough to fulfill all emptiness and drought from the very long pacing of the slow-burning romance between them. The confession scene connecting the dark environment to Heesu’s love for astronomy was lovely.
Despite the lack of an exciting kissing scene, the holding hands was mesmerizing enough. It brings me back to an episode where they were lying after walking too long, then their hands slightly touch one another, and the atmosphere became too tense. That was one of my favorite scenes from the two of them. As well as the overnight camp trip and their little school-to-home interactions, to name a few.
The love I have for the BL couple was too high, to the point that I feel too tired watching other pairs being executed in the show. Choi Ji Yu was okay for me, however, Ju Chan Yeong was a literal meh. Even the stories from Heesu’s three sisters were underdeveloped to the point that I feel like it was a nuisance to be added to the story.
I’m glad that I still watched this show despite the early criticism it received from the fans of the original story. As I also get where their emotions are coming from, as Korean filmmakers love to play with the original story, turning BL into something such as bromance, or for the sake of a clout chase
