With a love triangle trope, there has to be rules – a clear winner that the audience can root for.

Up until the penultimate episode, the show consistently guided viewers to believe the student council president would be the one in a romantic relationship. Every time he and Tae shared a scene, they played that tinkling, swoony music.

The show's pacing was awful; spending almost the entire runtime developing the main character's relationship with one person, only for them to abruptly switch affections to another, makes no sense. It's hard to believe, and by then, I’d mentally checked out.
I was so mad for cute, adorable and loyal Shinwoo – he deserved better than to be Tae’s “settled for” choice.

And it seems like lately, with every BL, they have to throw in the meanest girl. They got under my skin like they wanted, but it'd be cool if the only female character wasn't just a drama prop.

Honestly, the plot didn't do much for me, but the acting was so good it made me stick around. I loved how honest Tae was. He just blurted out whatever he was thinking. And I loved how determined Shinwoo was to win his guy.
Namgung was definitely my favorite character. This funny side character was such a nice change of pace! I'm pretty sure he had the most lines on the whole show.
