Yup this show absolutely is a winner. It's everything I enjoy in a BL honestly.

Characters: FUNNY! The comedic lines had me dying and everyone delivered where they needed to. Stand out favs were the hyemi and her mom, taejoo, and the dorky guy who's name I forgot. They felt real yet exaggerated in a good way.

Plot: this was the perfect level of drama and light heartedness for me. It felt real, but didn't take itself too seriously. The story unfolded exactly how I wanted it to (well, up until the end).

Music: I don't pay much attention to it, but I enjoyed it when I noticed it.

Cute factor: ALL THE WAY THERE. I was so giddy, I tell you.

Alright here are some critiques:

The story and logic does start to break down toward the end as far as character's motivations and how things unfold, particularly with kang gook. He said some pretty crazy stuff in his argument which, okay, but the 180 in behavior after felt a bit weird. Taejoo had a point, I'm not sure why he acted that extreme given what he did a few scenes after that.

Also, the time skip, I don't know, it didn't work for me. It was cliché which was fine, but I kinda feel like there was a better way to end story. Again, it just feels inconsistent with the way the story was going up until that point for me.

My final criticism is that we definitely got robbed with the steamy scenes. I think this pairing could've REALLY been electric to see getting hot and heavy but sadly none of that. Also easily one of the worst kisses I've seen yet.

But anyway those are just little nitpicks. Overall I really enjoyed it!! It's a very quick watch and probably my favorite BL series so far because the characters seem the most real.
