This was the first asian drama I ever watched and I have to say that, even many dramas later, it is still the best by leaps and bounds. The relationship was realistic and well-written. I find BL dramas tend not to have any more real affection in a relationship than one or two super awkward kisses right at the end, so it was a very welcome surprise to find a believable relationship for once where the attraction is both mature and realistically shown, where they actually kiss (like, not just uncomfortably put their lips against each other for the required five seconds) and show romantic attraction, but also just have the casual touches friends IRL do.

The story was very well done. The villains got a bit campy at some points, but didn't subtract from the very heartfelt and well-written story. The side stories/couples were less interesting than the main one and, I'm not going to lie, I did skip some of the straight couple's scenes, but they were still just as well-done as the main storyline.

Production was great, the actors were all amazing (especially Max and Tul, whom I was blown away by), writing was thoughtful and overall great, and everyone who worked on this drama should be damn proud of what they put out. There are very few dramas I can actually rewatch, but this is definitely one of them. Not a dull moment.
