Cute until the last 10 minutes
I could name 50 ships from non-romance shonen manga/webtoons with more romantic love/potential than these two have. Like, I’m bi and can grow romantic feelings for people pretty fast but there’s no shot I would fall for Yechan if I were Yul. A 20-year-old who acts like that will forever be in the brother/friend compartment in my mind.
Acting:
Fantastic performances all around. Fit the characters for sure. Do Won was especially amazing as Seon Yul. I haven’t read the webtoon, but I’m guessing Yechan is supposed to be like that lmao so good job by Yoon Do Jin as well.
Writing:
This was a pretty good story up until you tried to make me believe that those two got together romantically. NO SHOT MY GUY OOF. It would have been 100x better and more realistic if they had gone their separate ways and found happiness and love in more fitting partners. I’m the same age as Yul and there is no way I would fall for a 20-year-old, especially if they act like Yechan. 10/10 sibling, 0/10 romantic interest.
Chemistry/Romance/Kissing:
The chemistry as older & younger brothers was great but not anything more. Did not like it as a romance so the kissing was just too weird, but not because they were poorly performed.
Could have been a lovely story if it weren’t for the last 10 minutes. I just can’t see this being romantic and I’ve actively seeked out fanfic about ships with like 2% chemistry in canon lmao. The difference is in the dynamic between the two characters and there just isn’t that potential for romance that can be argued for between many characters.
