Cute...But Nothing Special
I'll be honest, it took me a LONG time to get throught this drama. I found the main character so aggrivating and childish and I just got intense second hand embarrassment from everything he did. I also found the acting a bit stilted in the beginning, and the weird sound effects drove me nuts. But literally everyone was raving about how amazing this show is. So I pushed through to finish. Obviously there must be something I was missing.
And honestly? No. Not really, in my opinion. The show is exactly what it tells you it is. There's nothing unique about it. It's not rewriting the BL landscape. It's a perfectly fine, perfectly cute, perfectly serviceable standard university BL. I do think the acting and character dynamics got a little bit better later into the story. But I never stopped finding Duang cringe.
I enjoyed it but the inflated rating is undeserved, in my opinion. It's fun, it's fine. It's pretty mid, if I'm honest.
