Very very nice drama.
Few to none nonsense.
Few to none illogical stuffs.
Almost followed the novel`s plot. Of course there were a few changes because of the censorship but nonetheless almost all important elements are there.
Nice effects, perfect choice of cast. I love the chemistry of Kim Jaehan and Shin Yechan. Those subtle glance and metaphor. Aside from those, the story itself is perfect. It makes you feel sorry for Taehyun at the same times to Dayeol but despite those, still have morals.
Masterpiece.
Worth watching.

Lost my interest
I ´loved’ watching it despite it not having any kiss because love isn’t all about kiss etc…The biggest thinh I disliked was the other bullying his later on interest and even when the other would tell him what he did to him (ruining his name, stealing away something valuable to him, mocking him) : bullying, he wouldn’t apologize. Not sincerely… And he would keep going on with that like…
Because that’s actually a huge red flag to be dragging someone's else name in the mud just for fun. I hate this character so much because he might have a trauma but as someone said in the comments on viki "that's a reason not a justification" to what he is doing.
At the beginning, I was stunned by the fact that the whole school (especially the teachers, the nurse and even the archer really mean coach) were calling him out for getting caught apparently having something going on with another guy like it was something really bad. They didn’t even bother to hear out from his point of view…Very lame.
The archer’s father is so swear ! I wish him all the best ?❤️!
Also how how can writers turn bullies to lovers atp ??? With all what have happened between them ? and so smoothly ?. I know the same occurs with ´straight’ romances but even that got me so annoyed. I don’t stand this trope and will never ! And people saying otherwise and attacking the others that have other opinions should mature because nobody should ´enjoy’ watching someone getting bullied (here I’m not talking about those who liked the series or whatsoever just those who cant stand other people having different opinions).
Then I feel kinda bad for the bully (tae hyeon?) thinking about how nobody actually cared about him when he went missing for like 3 days. Even his three closest friends and especially that one other bully who is supposed to be his best friend didn’t check on him and just assumed he was doing well because ´they were used to him going missing for a few days’. Then even the school went to asking if one of his classmate could check on him as if school didn’t normally have their students address and phone number…?
EDIT : dropping this at ep 3 (4min into it) because I’ve just lost my interest in it 😭
No memorable OST BUT the acting and the cast IS SO good OMG !!!

A drama I’ll never forget
I literally love this drama so much because nowadays school BL drama are actually having worse plots and have zero chemistry while A shoulder to cry on actually covers all of that. I actually saw this drama when it first came out, but didn’t finish it until now and I’m pretty disappointed that I never finished it until now because it was so good. I am also a fan of Omega X and have met the actor of both Tae Hyun and Da Yeol in real life. This drama feels pretty real to me because of how both of the ML story’s are told in both point of views. Da Yeol’s whole life story is about him being a really good at archery to the point he even made it to the championships, but the sad part is that it was revealed that he actually has no interest in archery it that he’s been playing for so long to the point that he lost interest, but still plays it because he has nothing else left to do since he dedicated his whole life to archery. Tae Hyun’s story actually broke me, since he deals with both PTSD and depression since he doesn’t have parents he was put in an orphanage, but didn’t really talk he did end up getting picked up by a couple that doesn’t have any kids. One day his “mom” got pregnant, but you know when the baby comes he’s gonna be forgotten about and no one will care for him so one day while his aunt was watching him, he ran away to a park and once his “mom” came home she started to look everywhere for him, but once she found him they got into a car accident. Which caused the mom to not have a baby anymore so she became depressed that she LITERALLY jumped in front of her own child. So now Tae Hyun has to deal with the rath of his aunt blaming him for the death of his mom. To the point that she even came to the school to yell at him and that’s when Da Yeol found out but heard that he murdered so he became scared of Tae Hyun to the point Tae Hyun couldn’t deal with it anymore that he tried to d!e by hitting a pot at his head. But luckily Da Yeol helped him out after that. Which then started their chemistry with each other, what I love is that Da Yeol literally quit archery for the reason being is that he has something else that he has interest in and wants to dedicate everything to and Tae Hyun realizing that he can’t live without Da Yeol in his life because he became so important to him. What I really love is the last line which isn’t too accurate but it’s “If one day we fall apart again just come find me because you will always be a shoulder for me to cry on” I literally almost started to bawl my eyes out because that line is one the best last lines I have ever heard. I literally feel bad for whoever is reading this because it’s so long and I basically said the whole plot, but it proves that A shoulder to cry on is such a good drama. I really recommend this drama so much because it was really good and I didn’t regret watching it.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Hated it from the first 5 mins.. Sexual Assault is not a joke.
Stop making characters who objectively suck and expecting us to sit through a drama about them.I hate episode so much it made my stomach turn. Not only did the lie and say the ML attacked them sexually, which is a serious crime, they could have jeopardized all the ML’s hard work with archery over the years.
The writers should be ashamed of themselves to create something like this. Sexual assault is a big issue and minimizing that is so upsetting.
But I really shouldn’t be surprised seeing how South Korea minimizes sexual assault cases in real life. How disgusting of those writers. Shame on them!
In the future, I plan to avoid any drama written by these people or that has the 2ML acting in it. This whole experience has really triggered me.

Don't read the synopsis on the details page! it spoils the first episode!
I have been waiting so long for this show to start airing. I didn't read the synopsis of the series so when I say I was surprised when I watched the first episode boy is that an understatement. I thought that it would be the stereotypical troupe where one character is broken and the other character gets magically thrown into said broken characters life and they heal together but that is not what the first episode is about. I like that the first episode is nothing like I had imagined. The first episode is attention grabbing , and let's us quickly feel a connection and develop a fondness for the 1st lead (Archer) I can't wait to see the development of the relationship between the two main characters from their first meeting. I also pray that our 2nd lead (class president) has good character development later in the show. The class president is cheeky, and cunning but he is a jerk and gets on my nerves I know that's kind of the whole point but like the 1st lead I want to throw a good punch in the direction of the 2nd leads smile.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
