This series was sweet and a feel good. It starts off a bit steamy, but it doesn’t maintain that same level at the end, so could see if some felt frustrated at the change from beginning to end. I enjoyed it though.

I didn’t know how to rate this one…obviously showing signs they want to do a S2. It seemed to have flashes of other storylines, think “Only Friends” and KinnPorsche (just characters not plots) with a Boston/Vegas&Pete character type. ..plus, everyone is pretty flawed. My main issue was that due to the shorter storyline, they had way too many characters happening all at once so you were unable to get proper character development. Things seemed more rushed due to this…which just made everything a bit more disjointed. Overall, it did make me come back to see what would happen next. However, I wish there had been more episodes and the HS storyline should have been removed, it made no sense to me.

Loved this. The acting, the storyline, the music…everything was so well blended. Plus, I really enjoyed watching a friendship to relationship supportive and for the most part, healthy relationship develop and grow through out the series. Great job!

Hmmm…not certain to how I felt about this one. The 2 ml have great chemistry, but as others shared there are just too many cliche misunderstandings. The ending seemed a bit rushed, but per Viki there is another episode? Maybe that will tie everything together better then this episode did…though this ended like it was the conclusion of the series, so not certain.

This was cute, very cliche though. The ending left me very dissatisfied…like we went through all of this and it just seemed anticlimactic and boring. With how far the BL world has come, this felt like a step back. Glad I watched it, but definitely not a rewatch for me.

Looks like the subtitles were fixed for this episode 👏….soooo much better.

I mean, I found it distracting. I do think it’s good, but when there is such a delay and I think the interpretation isn’t always good…it distracts from the show. That is very fixable though, so hopefully the following episodes will be better. Acting and storyline seem great so far though

I am truly conflicted on this drama.
1.) I did not read it (full disclosure), but I feel frustrated for those who did, who said the other couple are not even in the manhwa. I get it’s an adaptation, but seems like there was a lot of “creative” license here.
2.) I actually appreciate them showing how difficult it is for the 2 ML to “come out”….which can be terrifying for people, especially teens who are subject to so much from peers…
3.) the title (which is appropriate for the Manhwa) is misleading here. This is not just a story about Heesu, in fact we know little about him and his struggles other than he lives with his sisters, has a unrequited crush, and appears to “suddenly” change course in love after his first crush gets a girlfriend. If they had focused on him, I think we would have seen and appreciated his change in affection and it would have pulled us further into his storyline… which, based on the title, we should be.
4.) I’ve seen people say that in Korea this is a brave BL and that they added the heterosexual couple to likely include more viewers and reach a broader audience. I totally disagree…if you are doing a BL based on a BL I think it’s important to stay true to the intent. To often LGBTQ storylines are watered down, for what? to make hetero viewers more comfortable???!!?? Except (spoiler), you are making an adaptation of a BL story…so people are expecting a BL. For a community that is already typically marginalized, I would think staying closer to the original storyline would be more powerful. (Just my opinion). Plus Korea has some wonderful BL’s that focus on the BL couples, without changing the story arch to add and focus on a hetero couple…

The acting though is fantastic…they are delivering, it’s (unfortunately) the script.

I think if this had nothing to do with a Manhwa and was an original storyline (different title too), I’d think it was ok so far. It definitely has its sweet moments. But for those looking for a great BL, I think you would be disappointed at how much they are usually not the main focus and when they are, they are likely sharing the screen time.

This is so beautiful…the scenery, music and storyline as well as the acting are so well blended. It isn’t a “heavy” drama for me, just one that is so beautifully woven.

This is a sweet story, but I did find myself frustrated at times with the story telling. From episodes 2-5/6 there is more of a focus on Chan Yeong and Ji Yu. The last 2 episodes (7&8) have switched back to who I assumed were the main lead couples Hui Su and Seung Won. Anyone looking for a BL focused storyline will likely find the first part of this frustrating as the love story buildup is focused on the secondary lead couple…so totally get the frustration people have over the lack or almost absent LGBTQ storyline. The last 2 have brought the main leads back into focus, but have no idea what the last 2 will bring us. If you’re looking for a strong BL storyline, I think there are other K-Dramas that do better job providing that. Like I said, it is sweet, but not necessarily what I was hoping for. That being said, the actors are all talented and really bringing forth their characters.

This is such a beautiful drama. The acting, script and cinematography are all so well done. I loved the ML’s friendship to relationship storyline as well as their friendships with others that developed throughout the series.

I had seen a lot of TikToks from BL viewers who liked this so decided to check it out. It’s definitely an easy and quick watch, sweet storyline of friends “blossoming” into more. The problems I have is that it felt incomplete which left me dissatisfied. Part of that is that it does end on a cliff hanger, uncertain if they are considering a season 2, but if not, it leaves the story too disjointed. Plus with each episode being about 20 minutes with a total of 6 episodes, character development tends to be a bit lacking. That being said, I liked the actors and the story as I said is sweet. If you’re looking for something light and short, this is a good watch, but be prepared that you also might get frustrated with the ending.

Well….I made it through to the end….
Honestly this was a difficult watch (as most people have shared). The basic storyline had potential to be a cute romcom enemies to lovers type genre, but it missed the mark in so many areas. The acting was challenging to get through and honestly I’m not certain if that was the direction the director was pushing or if the director was just not pushing the actors at all. Also, how child like they were portraying the ML throughout and how others treated him like a child was just off putting for me. I did like the 2 secondary couples and their storylines helped keep me watching to the end.

So from the poster and synopsis I was expecting this to be more of a drama with suspense and action (which it is not so far). Instead this is very light and cute…maybe a welcome relief after some of the more intense ones I’ve been watching (and rewatching) lately.

So beautifully done! Yin and War are amazing actors, otherwise they wouldn’t have been able to pull all the rollercoaster of emotions out of me. Definitely a worthwhile episode.

I liked it overall, it is a sweet/easy story with some drama thrown in, but it was a bit choppy and some stories just did not make sense (the doctors for instance). Seemed like more episodes were needed for better character development and for all the stories to be better melded…along with some characters stories put on the chomping block and being another story altogether

This had potential, but just like everyone has been commenting about, the English subtitles were super terrible. You would think they’d have read everyone’s reviews and fixed it by now. It was just
very distracting having to constantly try to figure out what was likely trying to be conveyed. 🙁
