I will say that I am a person that can successfully enjoy and understand a series with a fair amount of skipping and I do so liberally. This is mostly because I have an attention deficit and unless something really grabs hold, I simply skip a bit, sometimes 10/20 seconds, sometimes a few minutes. I did not skip this show once. Why? Because there was always something happening. It might feel like things weren’t fleshed out enough but it was all pretty satisfyingly completed imo.

As for reviews that say “barely a BL” well, I’m sorry, most BL on the market must be extremely boring to you. There was one kiss, and while it wasn’t fizzing with chemistry, it was sweet and intentional. Ro-A clearly liked Ji Woo throughout and didn’t make much of an effort to hide it. Ji Woo clearly started thinking about Ro-A in some kinda way when he saw him shirtless and then we saw that develop for him until he confessed. Ro-A rejected him because he heard/saw the hateful comments and didn’t want Ji Woo to have to face that for the rest of his life when he was happily pursuing Yoo Na prior to them meeting.

There was zero fall-kissing and this made me insanely happy. The only bit where I cringed was when Ro-A stopped the bat with his arm. There was also no outrageous jealousy. Ro-A warned off Yoo-Na but she WAS initially using him because he liked her and made her feel safe, which put him at great risk.

All in all, this is a short series without fall kisses or bruises that disappear the next day after applying lotion and blowing. The lead isn’t caught in a predicament when faced with his female crush confessing, he straight out rejects her and goes all out to confess to the man he feels love for. It’s put me in a pretty good mood for the day.
