CLASSIC FLUFFY BL DONE RIGHT!!

I'll be honest when I say I didn't look forward to this show AT ALL when it was first announced, even the trailer didn't really catch me but I gave it a chance and watched the first ep and I'm so glad I did!! I was HOOKED since ep 1. This show became one of my favorite shows of all time? all these characters will stay with me for a long time.

The show has a simple plot but no scene ever felt like filler to me. The one thing I really want to compliment is the editing!! It really looked like the editor took their time on this show!!

The cinematography was amazing as well. The lotus pond scene is just so beautiful!

The chemistry between all the actors was amazing! No awkward acting even though the leads are newbies. Keen as Moo really won my heart!! He was incredibly charming and super adorable, I could never be mad at him:( A character like Moo can easily become annoying and over bearing but it was so well done by keen that anytime anyone made moo sad, i was ready to fight people (looking at you shone). Kang's character was more reserved and introverted but I love that Sea managed to portray his emotions properly still! Often times, people end up making such characters like rocks and I hate that! But kang was very dear to me:( I do think sea is lacking a bit in crying scenes but it didn't take me out of the scenes or made me cringe so it's ok, he'll improve with time.

The second couple did amazing as well!! My heart hurt for payos throughout the series and although Potae was infuriating at times, I didn't hate his character at all. Neth was soo fun as well, we love a bestie who is always supportive but will call your sh*t out if needed! and i love that she got her own love interest! Also wanna mention the moms!! I love that both kang and moo's moms were so supportive of them even though in different ways.

I also loved the character development of the couples!! Individually and together. The characters never did things just because, they all had reasons for everything, you might not like the reasons but it made sense for the characters, and that is soo hard to find in shows honestly(especially gmmtv shows).

One thing I LOVED about this show was the COMMUNICATION!! They always talked things through and that rarely happens in shows! Even the breakup was done due to external issues. Loved that they talked about the toxicity of the industry and the fans and how it hurts the idols and their loved ones.

The show did a great job balancing the funny, flirty scenes with the more emotional and serious scenes, also can i mention that the OSTs were absolutely amazing?? Keen's singing is absolutely beautiful!!!

Have already rewatched the show a no. Of times and would definitely recommend to other people who just want to relax a little after a tough day and need some smiles!! This show doesn't get enough love!
