Hi Everyone. I just want to preface this by saying that I have never wrote a review for another drama before and I have been on this site since 2016. First off, this review does contain spoilers, so shy away if you do not like them. There is a no spoiler TL;DR at the end of this review. I just want to say that I hope everyone gives this drama the love it deserves, the rating does not do it justice.

The main problem I see everyone mentioning is the fact that there is a time skip. I typically hate time skips, but this one was only 6 months and it fit the drama perfectly. The main character had a leg injury and one half of the side couple was going to study in Japan. With these items in mind it is rational that there was a time skip so that the injury would heal and we can see the character growth with basketball, plus it gave a reasonable amount of time for the second couple to have a reunion with each other at graduation. The time skip was done perfectly as it still showed what transpired in the main couples relationship through flashbacks. I think the drama was enhanced by the time skip, but that is just my opinion. Now onto the couples:

Main couple: Fah & Torn

What a breath of fresh air this couple was. The communication was great and Fah gradually falling in love as he spends more time with Thorn was very realistic. It was not rushed, but there was still enough intimacy in the series to feel the chemistry between the two. I enjoyed how they displayed their affection for each other and worked through their issues as quickly as possible. I feel the best scene was where Thorn realized how hard he has fallen and how much he changed when Fah walked away from him in the locker room during the last game. I was so happy when Fah came back to comfort Thorn and let him know that he did not hate him. That was a huge turning point for Thorn and I was so happy he realized this was not the way he wanted to play.

Secondary Couple: Aii & Saen

This was my favorite couple in this series. I absolutely love the way Aii fell for Saen and loved him unconditionally. He was even willing to give up his dream of studying in Japan for their love, but I am glad he didn't because that is more realistic. The fact that they worked through their long distance relationship and still had a happy relationship in the end was great to me. Saen's smile could melt the room, and i was so happy with their ending. Typically i hate when couples get separated, but because of the time skip it was like they were never apart. A+ Storyline.

Secondary Couple: Vee & Dome

I was not a big fan of the "stealing sisters boyfriend" storyline, but I thought it ended as good as it could have. There could have been more cute scenes with them, but i understand why they did not go that route considering it was almost as if they cheated the sister with the way they were acting towards each other. I do wish they solidified their relationship in the end since six months have passed and the sister gave her best wishes, but I get why Vee wanted to wait a little longer. I just hope he does not make dome wait for too long.


TL:DR (No Spoilers)

This was a masterpiece of a BL. I have watched so many BL and I always look at MDL ratings for an indication of if I will watch something. I am SO thankful i did not let this rating deceive me. I have no idea why it is rated so low with the three amazing couples. Some people complain about the ending, but it ended fittingly and I would be fine if there was no second season for this. Trust me, this was incredible and worth the watch. You will not regret it!!

Thanks for reading.
