This series is truly a gift to watch. It has so many amazing parts to it I lost count of, but let me narrow it down to a few.

You will fall in love with these characters. Every single one has a unique personality. They are some of the most well-constructed, fleshed out and well-developed I've seen in a long time. I love how they highlight the conflict between characters with so much self-reflection and mutual understanding. Yes there is a love triangle, but you will be pleasantly surprised at how they handle it. Yes there is a jealous female lead, but it blows my mind how they turn it around. These characters have some of the most healthy friendships and relationships with one another. This series has so much impact towards queer youth and their path of discovery, along with making mistakes as a teen and learning to maturely fix them.

The acting is incredible. The K-drama industry knows how to pluck the right actors for the right roles. The whole cast in Light On Me nailed the personalities of each character. I love how the whole cast off-screen act like a family, too, including the staff.

The story is heartwarming and blew me away. I appreciate how instead of resting on a fantasy, this series properly expresses the frustrations of rumours and confusion with your own identity. It's also interesting to note that you never truly know who Taekyung will end up with until the very end. At least in my case; I had an idea, but it still leaves you unsure. Of all of them, Daon's journey hit me the most, as I could relate to parts of him.

I can't get enough of the OSTs. They are absolutely beautiful. Great choice of music in this series.

I'm truly going to miss this show. There are subtle hints of a possible extension, whether season 2 or a side story, but we shall see. If you've been holding off on watching Light On Me, now's the time to watch it. Seriously. You will be immediately hooked on it.
