i have massive respect for the male lead actor. He takes roles that are unconventional and not many actors agree…
He has shown his versatility as an actor and you’ve rightly said how actors become picky with their roles to maintain an image meanwhile LJY gave us a variety of masterpieces.
PS: I have just re-read the series title, and I apologize because I was confused as to why Heesu got so much screen…
I was storming to ask you to read the title 😂 Glad you read and corrected that on your own and I totally agree on the last part that you said about the fact that there was no gay romance.
Adorable characters: SeungWon and Heesu were incredibly lovable and easy to root for.
Honest portrayal: It captured how difficult it is to be queer, especially in South Korea.
Sibling relationship: Heesu’s bond with his sister was touching, especially the rooftop coming-out scene.
Music and visuals: Beautiful and perfectly matched the tender, emotional tone.
Heart-fluttering moments: Gave a Heartstopper-like feel with the blooming love.
Slow burn romance: Though a fan of slow burn, still a bit unsure if it fully worked here.
Journey to happiness: Watching Heesu and SeungWon's path to finding love and joy was satisfying.
Things I Didn’t Like:
Hesitancy in portraying queerness: The drama clearly held back and avoided going deeper.
Underused characters: SeungWon’s lesbian mom felt more like a plot device than a fully explored story.
Unresolved subplots: JuChan’s tennis dream and dad issues were left hanging with no closure.
Frustrating friendship dynamic: JuChan was a bad friend to Heesu, and the drama never addressed it properly.
Painfully cut confession scenes: Important emotional beats were rushed or skipped.
Self-absorbed reactions: JuChan made Heesu’s coming out more about himself, which was frustrating.
Messy sister’s love life: Felt random and poorly handled, adding unnecessary confusion.
