An Unneeded Adaptation

Had this not been marketed as an adaptation of Why R U? I would have been less disappointed in this series. They made it into another cookie cutter KBL. It's a shame because the acting, and the chemistry were better than most KBL, and the intimate scenes were at least not dead fish kissing. The storytelling was weak. I recommend this for people who do not like Thai BL, and those who hated the original. I am usually a generous rater, but I had to lower the values because they had good source material, and made it a mediocre story. I understand localization, but going with only 8 short episodes, and spending so much screen time on drinking parties damaged the story. The only thing that I liked better than the original is, the brother -sister relationship, and I felt the sister in the Korean version was much more likable.
