Best BL/LGBTQ+ show for me!
I love this series, it is so much more than a BL it deals with deep, serious things. Everything feels so real, the characters feel genuine. There is a deleted scene that is not in the series, because it might trigger many / make many feel uncomfortable. Wish the scene had been included in the series, because it was a very important scene. Anyway, this one deals a lot with mental illness / depression / trauma. Don't want to spoil too much but Jae Won doesn't have it easy, but he finds the light again when he meets the innocent Ji Hyun. Here is the interesting thing; even though Jae Won is older and more experienced than Ji Hyun, Ji Hyun is the strong one in their relationship. He doesn't give up. There are a couple of troublesome side characters, namely Jae Won's ex-girlfriend and his friend.
But then there are also good side characters, such as Ji Hyun's boss or his newfound friend who doesn't take shit, not even from the seniors/final year students (opposing seniors is a big no no in South Korea, so much respect to her! )
And I like that here there is actually something called therapy, in so many series no one goes to therapy despite mental illness, but here you actually go to therapy. I really like that the directors take mental illness very seriously, they themselves have written that mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of, and seeking help is not weakness.
One of the 2 directors is German by the way, so the series how it is filmed feels a bit western / indie. I like the way it is filmed, you really notice how well planned everything here, how much dedication the directors have put time into the way of filming. Sometimes it looks gloomy, sometimes it looks happier, sometimes it looks almost dreamlike. You really notice how they want to show that Jae Won is the darkness, while Ji Hyun is the light.
Speaking of the two of them, the chemistry is ?? have probably never seen another couple in series/film with more chemistry than the two of them. They actually act like two young adults in love, so this series is definitely not chaste. The songs from the series btw are amazing, l l listen to the songs everyday.
Is there anything I would like to change about the series? Well, no, it's so much fun to see how Ji Hyun develops as a person. The series is my absolute favorite BL/LGBTQ+. it really makes me feel things inside... everything from pain to joy. And you can really feel the attraction (which is often sexual) and love between Jae Won and Ji Hyun.
I love how natural they are together, all their gentle touches is everything. They’re so soft together which makes my heart melt! This BL is exactly my kind of angst, I love everything about this. This is really a high quality series that should not be missed <3
Jae Won and Ji Hyun will forever remain my favorite BL/LGBTQ+ couple.
