0% errors, 100% terrific!
What can I say? I fell in love with every single thing about this show. I am sure, for the more discerning, especially those who have read the manhwa, it may not have reached any kind of standards. It might also have felt repetitive, as it has every possible BL trope, but for me, I could not have found something more pivotal, that probably paved the way to even better and better Koreal BLs, The Eighth Sense being an excellent case in point.
Jaeyeong is not a seme that you usually find in dramas, yet he is the most common type. How you ask? He is handsome, popular, loved by the ladies, is always the one who people turn to, great in sports, great in studies, the one who might go abroad, etc, etc. But he is not arrogant. On the contrary, he is sweet, down-to-earth, gentle, caring, even a bit of a prankster, but endearing nonetheless. He is the one to first realise that he is sliding into that slippery tunnel that ends in love. He is genuinely attracted to Chu Sangwoo, and makes no bones about his feelings for his junior. And a when a seemingly straight guy falls for another guy, the feelings and the love and the chemistry are definitely going to be off the charts.
Sangwoo is a really unpredictable uke, He is the one who is arrogant, rude, robotic, and completely tsundere, a total power bottom. Quite a turnaround from your regular soft and sweet ones. He has never been in a relationship, so he is not even sure if he is gay or straight. But he has the rough and tough Jaeyeong dancing to his tunes. And he realises that this man here, can make him smile, can make him feel things that he has never felt before. He is by turn annoyed, sceptical, amused and enchanted by Jaeyeong, who he feels gets away with everything because he is handsome. However, in the end, he can't help but fall in love with the man who is his perfect foil, the absolute polar opposite.
Seoham and Jaechan are absolutely perfect for each other. The first thing that catches the eye is the adorable height difference. Both of them are stupendously good looking. And the supporting cast also does a fantastic job. I especially loved the fact that both the girls in the drama were not made out to be mean, bitchy and manipulative. I am kind of bored of that trope. The kisses were intense. There was so much longing in them. And I was just floored by the fact the it was Sangwoo who initiated most of them. Their PDA is perfectly on point, and doesn't seem forced or just put in there for effect! The scene where Jaeyeong discovers his pictures on Sangwoo's laptop has to be probably the cutest thing ever. While I know that a S2 is not immediately possible (Seoham is on his mandatory enlistment), but I would love for them to think about it once he is back. I can already imagine their life in France!
The music, while nothing over-the-top, is catchy and subtle, fitting in with the energy of the series and giving it a cool vibe!
Rewatch value: Absolutely! I can vouch for that because I have already seen it multiple times. So if are a BL fan and connoisseur, then this one is definitely for you!
