Acting was great, but it was all downhill from there.

First off, I want to say that Zuho was AMAZING for speaking in support of the LGBTQ+ community when he recieved criticism for taking this role. What an icon.

Secondly - the acting in this was really good! I was surprised that Kim In Sung (Han Joon) was a rookie. He emotes so well, especially with his expressions. In such a short time frame he really made me fall in love with that character, and his voice is very comforting.

Unfortunately, that's about where the good points stop. Zuho, though he did GREAT at selling this character, played a total asshole that was damn near impossible to like or empathize with. Yoo Jae was red flag city - jealous, spiteful, intentionally hurtful. The scenes with the chocolates mortally wounded me!!! I honestly hoped up until the last two episodes that Han Joon would realize he deserved better, which imo would have been a better ending.

Aside from one of the main characters being a total douche, there just wasn't enough time for this story to be fully baked. Even cutting it as a movie instead of into episodes would have helped with the flow. It just felt like there was more to be told that we didn't get to see, like chunks were missing. And I feel like if we had seen those, it would have made for a much better drama in the end.

That being said, I hope to see Zuho and Kim In Sung in more dramas, that are hopefully a bit more fleshed out.
