Honestly so so underrated

I know this series might be a hard watch due to the trope of student x teacher and the power dynamics, I'd say it's already the tip of the ice berg of problematic relationships considering all the other ones in korean BL manhwas, it's definetely not allowed irl but I'm going to focus on the series and critique just like any other show. (and the student's 21 too btw)

ANYWAYS! The overall pacing and storytelling of this series was perfect. Sure, there's some confusion with the messaging app on episode 1-2, but episode 3 clears all the confusion and the overall pacing felt perfect and readers could easily immerse themselves into the story. The screentime with the side characters were perfectly assigned and balenced too. I also really loved the overall song used in this series, it felt natural and the songs were used effectivly to convey the emotions of the specific scene. The overall filming felt natural and it was easy to catch up. Some concerns I have though is the translation issues impacting the understanding of some scenes. I guess that the translation wasn't straightforward enough/what the original dialogue was trying to show, hence in some scenes throughout the show was hard to understnad, like for example (spoilers) the conversation the teacher had with his wife at the corridor in episode 3. I didn't understand how the student knew that the teacher treated the same way to other students with that diagoluethat he saw through the ringbell.
However this rating isn't perminent until I'm fulyl finished with the series, very high hopes with this series though, it's so underrated.
