at the start i didn't like how pushy Jae Hyeon was, yeah he "fell" the sec he saw Seung Jun & was already pursuing him. but anyone with eyes could see that Seung Jun was skittish & weary of his own shadow. Jae Hyeon needed to rein himself in, a bit & follow Seung Jun's lead. even though given Seung Jun mindset, i wonder if a little pushing wasn't what he needed to come out of his shell. even though Jae Hyeon's approach was a bit much, he broke through Seung Jun walls & made Seung Jun want to live instead of just exist.
what i found infuriating is that Seung Jun regarded & spoke of Kim Ju Won as his ex & not a groomer or a predator - as he was both. in his position, he had his pick among all the young talent that were desperate to make it & he abused that power. so Seung Jun even yrs later not coming to this realization bothered & saddened me. i understood why he took it so hard - he was an orphan that thought he finally found a safe haven, an person that was family & that person used, betrayed & then humiliated him. hard to just get over that kind of heartache - which was more a destruction of the soul. so i get why he was so traumatized even yrs later.
idk why Kim Ju Won decided he wanted Seung Jun back - given his position he would always have "fresh meat" but i guess we needed the drama for a reason; to push / force Seung Jun to face his fears & confront them. i would rather he talk to Jae Hyeon & not ghost him, cause Kim Ju Won popped into his life. but i guess we also needed the big blow-up for them to part ways, while Seung Jun fixed his life & got justice. cause as much as Jae Hyeon wanted to fix things for him, Seung Jun needed to do that for himself & when he was ready to face Jae Hyeon, he wrote him a song & the rest is history.
with everything going on, with all the character's & their baggage. i think the one my heart went out too was Lim Ho Yeon, he loved Seung Jun & was always there to pick up the pieces. but when Seung Jun was read to love, he never even looked his way. which was sad, but also logical as in Seung Jun's eyes Lim Ho Yeon was a brother, family so he could never think of him in anyway but platonic & that's a realization even Lim Ho Yeon reached, that's why he never confessed. cause of that selfless act of sacrifice, my heart broke for him.
even though this was a very short BL, a lot was covered & the logic of how everything of how everything unfolded was sound. even the ending was fitting. it didn't feel rush or unfinished. is it perfect, no but for a short BL this was very good. well acted & much better then a lot of other BL's i've seen come out recently. for sure a rewatch & will happily recommend this.
