Corny, Melodramatic, and Cliche
Take every sad plot point and character background you have ever seen in a drama. With every plot point, assume the screenwriter is doing this solely to make a tearjerker. Predict how said plot point could be a tearjerker. 99% chance you got it right. Even the music score felt rehashed.The whole thing also stinks as if something fishy went down with the production of it. As if in order to make it palatable to a wider audience they clipped out every perceptible gay romance scene or the actors refused that aspect of the storyline so it was omitted. In turn, it meant we ended up with this incomprehensible bromance. Seriously, whatever they are is never explored. Once. Just a couple of best buddies for life, apparently.
The only saving grace was the acting. They did a great job with the dreary script they were presented with. Maybe they have some better projects you could spend your time on? But do not waste precious hours with this.

Don't waste your time
Getting through the last 4 episodes of this was legitimately painful. Every episode is the same thing, they begin to talk and then something interrupts them. This will happen 5 times in a 20 minute span. The skinship is forced. The romance is low stakes. Nothing felt like it actually mattered. I don't recommend this at all!Was this review helpful to you?
Phenomenal
I searched the tags for a love triangle BL and came across this. This was not really what I was looking for, but it was better than what I hoped. There's very little campiness in this drama so don't expect so many lighthearted moments like the usual. It gets pretty heavy, in a realistic way, not even makjang "things are so out of control I can disassociate" way.By the time I was clicking for episode 5 I felt annoyed it was ending so soon because I was fully sucked in. This drama has great rewatch value too, because there are many flashbacks as the show progresses and you realize things about the story that weren't revealed when first shown.
