This is my first BL and I'm not really sure why I picked it up. I was interested in the premise of the friends with benefits turned more where the casanova is converted. But that is not what this drama delivered. Instead you get a story of 'love overcoming trauma' which was not ever mentioned in the synopsis. The cast is all good looking which makes this nice to look at when watching, the OST is too repetitive and forgettable, the cinematography is very average, and the nsfw scenes are awkward.

From the beginning you are told rather than shown that King is a player which made it hard to grasp since for the entirety of the show he only ever was interested in Uea. I expected to see an enemies to lover trope but King never seemed to dislike Uea at all. He was charming and portrayed his emotions well through his eyes and facial expressions even though the character was written fairly one dimensional as purely the love interest with not much else to him. Their relationship begins with a drunken one night stand, which I can agree with other viewers that King definitely should not have continued that night knowing how truly drunk Uea was but King had also been drinking so you could say they made that mistake together.

Uea was not a very likeable character at all. The actor did not carry the emotional scenes well at all and I found him primarily annoying and hard to understand. His back story with trauma and toxic relationships also was not done well and was used as purely a shock factor. While victims do often get victimized again, it felt unrealistic especially in the time frame it was portrayed to have happened that he was targeted so frequently. Then you have Uea's treatment of King specifically after King's confession that truly bothered me. He was controlling and arrogant but in a way that King's previous behavior toward him did not warrant. For Uea to go from being a sex buddy to then not allow any touch what so ever felt weird. The two also showed more chemistry and interest as just bed friends than they did as a couple. The bed scenes were also odd and choppy but then nonexistent once they became a couple.

The last episode was also pretty boring to watch as it added nothing to the plot, it was just there to create an ending. Overall while this show is pretty to look at it lacks in substance.
