I wasn't going to watch this, because of how bad the reviews are, but damn now I feel like I watched something completely different from everyone else?
Did this have an amazing plot? No, it's your basic college love story. But it was fluffy and easy to watch, and the relationship was healthier than SO many other BL relationships. It's four episodes long, so I don't know about you but *I'm* happy it didn't have a billion dumb misunderstandings and complicated plot devices pushing the characters apart. Sometimes it's nice to just have something simple and soft.
Gun had a crush, and bettered himself so that he could feel confident in approaching said crush. And I thought it was pretty clear Bar started returning feelings pretty quickly -- but, like he says several times, he gets shy around his friends, and he's *not very expressive*. I can relate, so maybe that's why I didn't feel like his confessions were sudden or out of character? When they felt jealous, they talked through their feelings, and neither one got violent or blamed one another (which, please people let's be honest, happens in most dramas in general, and way too much in BL). There was almost zero "sexuality panic," which is always refreshing. Consent was a thing!
It wasn't perfect, but it wasn't as bad as the reviews might have you think. I enjoyed it a lot. I have enough anxiety on my own, I don't need my dramas full of it, too.
