I like it even though there are a lot of things I didn't like about it.
For those wondering, this series has a *happy ending*
I think that this may be one of the best korean BLs of the year BUT,
compared to other BLs, this is a bit confusing for me. I felt like there are episodes that are cut in a weird way that made the story not flow so well. It sometimes made me feel like I was watching a compilation of clips rather than a series. For instance, there is a moment where they don't talk and then they just met on subway like that without any clear explanation (did he follow him?).
Another thing is that, I also felt a bit confused about Jae Won's character acting. There is a moment where he kisses so deep and there are times when he kisses like a plucking chicken. He also became a bit awkward after they got together. He says he doesn't mind what others say but he is also not as clingy as before. I felt like he got so much relaxed about getting together with Ji Hyun, in a romantic sense.
Lastly, I also didn't like how they just brushed of Eun Ji's and Tae Hyung's very very horrible attitude with a sorry. Heck, Eun Ji didn't even said sorry. Ji Hyun did, and that was very aggravating. I hope they recieved some kind of moment for character development where they really repented from what they've done 'cause everybody else had some kind of adulting change, and they didn' t. It was so frustrating. I also didn't understand that stepping back-stepping up game at the end. Hahaha.
HOWEVER, what made me like this series a lot is the cinematography. I felt like I was watching Blueming with a hint of that american BL feel. The colors and the first NC scene is so well directed.
Also even though the opening is a bit weird for me, as it felt like I was watching an opening of Baywatch, and there is even that weird guy holding a surf board, it grew on me. At the end of the series, I felt that it was not that bad.
I also like Mira and Ae ri very very much. They are on my top tier list of best female characters for BL series. They are just so true, sweet, and caring throughout the series that I would love to hug them and hang out with them very much. Don't forget about Jun Pyo as well. Though I felt like his role as a very great bestfriend was a bit brushed of by the story. I hoped they have shown that as well.
I really like these characters so much that it made the tenth episode great when Mira finally got what she wanted. It had me in tears. Because she really really deserved it.
Lastly, even though there is no closure about Jae Won's trauma, family and mental sickness, I liked it more with that. Because I think that there is no need to hurry to 'heal' and just slowly getting better is enough, which the end of the series really showed that. I also loved how they showcased mental illness in this story and how there is nothing wrong with seeking help. Though I also felt that the therapist became a bit unprofessional with her tone at the end.
Overall, I think this is a series that could've been better with a more smooth transition of events like those of Semantic Error or Dating Sim. Sadly, it isn't. So it may be a very good watch, and I like it, but this is not one of those that I might rewatch again. It is a feel good BL though so I recommend others to watch it.
