After just finishing the last episode it feels more like I have been watching an historical drama with a love story between the two male leads and that the supossed romance was just put there as an after thought so that the bromace wouldn't be misstaken as romantic interest. But all the chemistry and charged sceenes were between Seo Hwi and Sun Ho, even how their encounters were filmed seemed to emphasize this. Does anyone else have the same impression?!

Is it only me or were the product placements and commercials in this drama extreme? Usually I only notice that the characters are drinking a certain brand all the time or that you can see what kind of car they are driving but in this one it felt like there where mini commercials featuring the main characters in almost every episode. For example: the main female lead hasn’t eaten all day, she then tells her friend that it doesn’t matter because she now drinks this bottle of….. and now she will have restored her stamina, the friend then drinks it to and agrees that it is really good. Or: they are celebrating the male leads birthday at a restaurant. Then suddenly realizes that they need a cake. You are then shown in detail how one of them order a cake with delivery on their phone by app, they comment on how fast it is delivered, you are shown the brand of the cake very clearly and how it is delivered and then follows positive comments on how good it tastes. This takes several minutes and takes at least me completely out the show.
