This is what a drama should be!
This drama was done in the style of the old Friday night American dramas from the '80s. It seemed to start off as a typical university BL, but better, because it dealt with a variety of people and their problems without taking away from the main leads. However, at times it did give us a break from the mains to focus on the side characters, which helped to round out the story. It built up to the grand finale with flashbacks intermixing with current events, helping the audience to understand what was motivating the characters.
I am flabbergasted at the low ratings for this drama, but I have to thank them. I waited to watch this drama because many people said it wasn't good. So when I got around to watching, I was able to binge the whole thing instead of waiting each week....which I would have done, had I started it when it was airing, because it's so good. But I might have been less excited for it if I had to wait for the weekly episodes, as some of them were slower than others. Still, I would have enjoyed it....
....because:
There was plot and plot progression ....and a whole-a** villain! There were love scenes and heartbreaks and symbolism and foreshadowing and sacrifice! There were guns and bows and horses and cellos! (at least one of each. LOL) There was a hero saving the (not so) damsel in distress.....there was conflict, revenge, and resolution. And the acting!!! The acting was phenomenal! Except for the villain. The villain was very....villain-esque. At some points, I almost expected the villain to cackle with witchy laughter and say, "I'll get you, my pretties!" LOL But, you know, it's....fine. There were enough other characters who did a good job to keep my rating at a 10.
I'll definitely be revisiting this drama. There was the real-world problem of everyone having a crush on everyone else and having to navigate through all the emotions to find someone to be happy with. Now that I know all the characters, I can rewatch their interactions with more interest.
Moral of the story is: Judge it for yourself. For me, it's a 10.
