A BL rom com that leaves a sweet taste

Loved the music from Jeff Satur it really set the scene.
This rom/com is an easily digestible story that shows the interaction of 4 couples in a school environment.
Depending on your own preferences will decide which couples you favour. Each have their own story and back story that is lightly touched on in this short (12 episodes) drama.

I think the writers did a very good job of linking the characters and showing some character progression as the young men move from the study world to the business world.
Special mention are the scenes with the parents.
Mek's parents are lovely and accepting and love shipping the BL couple. Kim has a wonderful scene with his caring mom helping him to discuss his struggles with his first work experience.
Even the perfect Tim gained my sympathy when showing his restrained and polite refusal to be coerced by his father into joining the family business.

The romantic scenes are tastefully done without any graphic content. I feel they can be viewed by all the family without causing discomfort if wanting to help 'normalise' the idea of same sex couples. There is plenty of touching, hugging and kissing. The friends and two sisters are very supportive and it was especially lovely to see the long-term couple, Park and Lee getting married the vows were very touching.

Not too perfect; the headmistress is too OTT and borderline bullying/blackmailing could be written out in a swap for more couple time.

It is also satisfying to see the boys remain in touch and supportive whilst chasing their career objectives.

I do think this is one I will rewatch when I need a little taste of sugar.
