I thought it was kind of meh.

I swear, the TutorYim deserve SO much more than they are currently getting, it makes me angry. They are good actors, but it's basically their third job that they are the SAME THING.
Then because Yim is a helpless and silly being and Tutor is there to show that he deserves to be loved and accepted. Tell me another one.
The series has no problems, and everything is poorly explained. They have no problems, no arguments, and everything they do is easily resolved, there's not even time to stop and absorb the “problem” because PLIM it no longer exists.
How did they meet, why did they decide to write together, what led them to become friends?
Intouch declared his love for Shen for no reason, they spread rumors about his supposed relationship with the other guy for no reason.
The side stories were a thousand times more interesting than the main one. Because despite everything, they had problems and motivations. They were clichés, but they had SOMETHING.
The main story had nothing.

If someone told me they were the same couple as Middlesman and Cutie Pie, I would believe it.
It's very easy and convenient to put the two in the same character prompts, it's simple to make Tutor a worried person and Yim a slow person, because that's what everyone is “used” to seeing. But when it comes to putting them together for 7 minutes of sex on screen, “oh, why can't you stick to these stereotypes?”

The series is good, it had an investment, it had good quality art, and the cinematography leaves nothing to be desired. But what's the point if the script is terrible?
