The potential was there
I really want to like this show more than I do.
The characters were both very interesting, but the editing, pacing and the script really hampered the potential they had. In the big moments I found myself confused, going wait, why are they saying these things? What do they want? Which obviously lessened the impact those scenes had.
The actors I though did all a great job, no complaints there!
As characters, Jiwon ended up coming across as more frustrating, than anything else, but I do understand the intent behind what the writers wanted for him. For me his actions just didn't translate properly. For example, when they were taking a break, Jeongu seemed to be keeping in touch, texting him, but somehow Jiwon still thought they were breaking up? Didn't answer even once? Like the ball was in his court, and idk, it was frustrating to be so confused about the internal monologue.
As for Jeongu, I actually really liked his character! When he realised he had a crush on Jiwon, it was the cutest thing, and the show portrayed his confused and besotted feelings very cutely, it was very entertaining.
The kissing, touching and physicality of the two was actually excellent, felt very natural, no foot of air between their bodies when they were kissing lol. Their first time was very well done too, both little shy, both little nervous and very careful with each other, it felt very realistinc!
The side characters were both great, and I wish them all the happiness in the future lol - "half of the group is gay" *awkward side-eye* made me giggle, they had great chemistry too.
Overall, some really high highlights, muddled in the middle. Won't be watching this again, but don't regret finishing it!
