The star did shine but not bright enough
Let me get this out of the way first, the eight episode (like most Korean BLs), roughly twenty minutes each, ruined this series.The actors were really good, to the point that it will excite the viewers.
The storyline was passable but due to the time per ep, it diminished the entire plot.
The editing in some parts were also questionable however it is what it is.
Overall, it was enough to satisfy a BL-curious audience, but not for those who wants a complete storyline.

A Pretentious 'Masterpiece'
Not all films or series with a good cinematography and acting are worth it, especially when the story is trash... This is how I'll describe this film.This is very pretentious, to the point that there is no meat to the story in itself.
The actors and music were decent. Too bad that in its goal to be artsy, the rest of the aspects of a good creation was forgotten. To think that the length of the film was sufficient.
Even a problematic person would have a more decisive way of storytelling and reasoning than what the writers did to this film.
I deel bad that it looks promising but it remained to be all in the surface as nothing is inside it.
I ended watching the film with regret... regret that I even bothered to watch it.

Not Worth It
This BL contains a lot of common tropes in the said genre: The 'Troubled' MC (TML) gets entangled with the other 'Bad Boy' MC, they form a connection, and the rest is history.Regardless if there were no kissing or what not, and the 'psychological' issue not being portrayed well to establish a more cohesive story, the story starting of at bullying and the inconsistent attitude of the TML to resolve the issue early on, it was actually all downhill from there.
The cast was 'ok', the music was also 'ok', but thank goodness this series was only short because whatever justification others provide on the bullying at the start, there wasn't really much story.
