K.I.S.S - keep it short and simple. And we got two of them
Best BL of '23, probably the best bl I have seen so far. The chemistry between the leads is INSANE - the touches, the kisses, the little flirty eye contacts and smiles (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ
Lee Wan/Ian is an introvert high school kid who, on the day of graduation, 5 mins before leaving the town forever (in fact, his family is literally waiting in the truck with their belongings packed) he confesses to his best friend, the outgoing/popular Ki Tae (Eddy), kisses him and runs off before the guy even has time to process wtf just happened. To get over his "failed first love" he copes by writing romance webtoons on his blog. Over the years, he is supported by his biggest fan/regular reader, "Gameboy".
7yrs after the "failed confession", he runs into Eddy during a job interview for a gaming company who want to hire him as illustrator for their new Otome/Dating game. Eddy is the programmer/ team lead in charge of game and he doesn't recognise Lee Wan AT ALL.
What follows is probably the sweetest, softest as Eddy chase tries to catch a very willing tsundere Ian who wants to be treated like an object of someone's unrequited love and basically, "courted".
The biggest criteria for rating a story is how good the characters at communicating. The characters here get 10/10. Though Ian spent all this time in "unrequited love" it was never really unrequited. If he had spent like 30s to let the kiss sink in, maybe they would have been a couple from the start. But his actions are understandable - he is a teen boy in a conservative country, and the object of his crush is his "straight" friend. But Eddy also doesn't take it to heart... He is his own way has always been watching over his little patootie, supporting him from afar when though they cant be together in person.
On a separate note, I feel bad for Tae-Oh and Ahn PD. Tae-Oh is the CEO but his programmers Eddy and Sunny are scary and treat him like a lackey with a corporate card. And poor Ahn PD whose writers keep running away - either to find themselves or BECAUSE they found themselves.
