I really enjoyed this overall! This show further proves what I thought, you don't need THAT much time to tell a good story with interesting characters. I was super excited to watch the whole way through and the leads are sooo handsome. The steamy scenes are great, but subtle. The kiss was fantastic.

Acting: so awkward omg. I'm not sure if it's the direction or what, but there's so many scenes with uncomfortable awkward tension. Especially da-woon. He only has two expressions: completely blank stare and (sometimes awkward) smiling. Si won has more of a range in this but his bawling crying scene was really bad. Otherwise I liked him a lot. Everyone else does a great job! Especially the little sister, the mom and the quiet girl.

Plot: it's fine! Pacing is good too. Huge pro of having a short story. There were some points in the story that I felt were kinda done weird like the photo thing and the ass classmate and the quiet girl and the guy crushing on her. I see what they were going for but they were kinda just distractions and poorly executed. Also I'm here for the fluff and keeping it light, but the progression to a romantic relationship between the leads felt undeserved and sudden? Like Da-Woon doesn't have much of a personality so the only thing the audience can see that Si-Won would like is that he listens and clearly has a crush on Si-Won. Actually, I'm not even sure how Si-Won knows da woon had a crush on him?? Like he was literally just being a nice guy albeit a bit intrusive. There's no way he had enough evidence to feel comfortable believing da woon had a crush on him. The man barely talks or e-motes. It really just makes it seem like a "well he really likes me so I really like him" sort of thing.

Also I'm sorry I know it's 2023 and we've "moved forward", but I'm gonna need plots to actually talk about being gay sometimes. Like it doesn't always have to be a big thing but at least drop a hint that either character could be into guys before the big kiss?? There was literally no reason to think that either character was gay apart from knowing the premise so to get them knocking boots in a hotel suddenly feels kinda strange.

Speaking of, Da-Woon you got some nerve!! I was rooting for you and then you pulled that thing with your mom and the movie. Like was that totally necessary? And why would you not tell your mom to keep it lowkey and not talk about it with si-won nearby.

Also, not only did you not confess on your own, but you lied to him TWICE when he confronted you about it and tried to gas light him. Did NOT like that at all. Like damn you fine and all but that was kinda crazy and a bit unhinged. I'm side eyeing him a bit but he fine as hell so he can get a few chances. It really just seemed like da woon was trying to secure his man anyway he could but we don't know what he was thinking at all because again, he has I NO personality. It honestly just comes off sleezy since we have no real context.

Anyway, it's a cute show and I recommend it. It's very short and easy to watch. Just lower your expectations and don't think too hard and you'll have a great time!
