A comedy K-BL with obvious flaws, but its heart in the right place
Here we have a comedy K-BL, which is quite rare. There is a level of absurdity that's not in the usually more grounded K-BLs. If you were to find a comparison point for the comedy, I'd compare it to Choco Milk Shake.
This is fun. There isn't a lot of drama, and even when it gets tense, it's still light-hearted. You get a hint of that Cityboy_log's writing style, where they dealt with a problem very swiftly, sometimes just moving on without really addressing them. But I think it's for the better. They know some things don't make much real world sense, and rather than wasting precious airtime trying to make them make sense, they just move on and focus on the romance, which is what we BL fans are here for anyway.
The first couple is super cute. For most of the show, their relationship actually moves very slowly. But their antics is where most of the comedy is from. So while slow, they're entertaining in their own way.
The second couple, meanwhile, moves fast. They don't get a lot of airtime, but they use it efficiently. All their scenes are romantically significant, and you really get that sense of progress every episode. So it's no wonder many people care more about them than the first couple.
The rest of the cast were underutilised, and they frankly casted too many people. I'm sure if they shift the scripts around, they really only need 5, maybe 6, people in the soccer team. But I know they just want to make use of the Cityboy_log's cast en banc. I'm aware that this can be annoying, especially for those who thought we'd get a third couple. But eh, the fact that Jaejun and Jeonggyu got to took of their shirts once is enough reason for them to be here lol.
By the end, everything is concluded, uh... nicely? It's concluded, all right. Whether nicely or not, that's debatable. But the romance does concludes satisfyingly. And what else do we need from a BL?
