I adored this show!!!!! I went online expecting to see everyone praising it, so I was surprised to see some people had issues. in my opinion, it gave off realism, slice of life, slow burn vibes from the start. I wasn't expecting a huge makeout session (sometimes they barely kiss in straight kdramas hello??) I was just happy that they realised and confessed.

for me, it was really lovely to see a more realistic portrayal of lgbtq today, and especially in kdrama format!! it used to be ridiculously hard to find lgbtq dramas, and often they would be like 5 episodes of 20 minutes, extremely low budget, and have a really different feel. as someone who has been watching straight kdramas for years, it was sooo lovely & validating to see a well-done, quality kdrama with the same vibe, but the leads just happen to be gay. also as a woman with a girlfriend whose mum is not happy about my sexuality and my dad doesn't know, it's just nice to see more representation of the problems of coming out. if I had come out to my friends in high school, they wouldve reacted like chanyoung, if not worse.

anyways, all that to say I LOVED this drama, it's really for the queers, heesu and seungwon are my babies and everyone should watch it, just remembering that it's more restrained than like a thai bl.
