Young Love
Cuteness overload at its finest! This series delivers a simple yet endearing narrative that follows teenagers as they navigate the complexities of first love and self-discovery. While the storyline doesn't break new ground in the BL genre—it borrows familiar tropes and setups—it still manages to charm with its sincerity and youthful energy.
What truly elevates the experience is the fresh casting. The young actors bring a raw authenticity that fits their high school roles effortlessly. In particular, the tandem of Kim and Mon stands out—undeniably magnetic, their chemistry leaps off the screen and pulls you right into their world. Every glance, every stolen moment between them feels genuine, and it's the kind of on-screen pairing that makes you root for a spin-off or standalone series just to see their dynamic unfold further.
Yes, there are scenes that feel derivative if you’re familiar with other BLs, but there’s a comforting nostalgia in that too. The mix of cuteness and light thrills keeps the pace lively, even if the emotional beats play it safe. Still, the series knows its audience and embraces its sweetness unapologetically.
Overall, it’s a fun watch that doesn’t try too hard and doesn’t need to. It knows what it wants to be—and for what it is, it delivers. I’m giving it a well-deserved 4 out of 5 stars.
