🔸️I can't say this drama was offensive for modern days LGBTQ, it's simply not intended for something mean, but gradually it starts to be. The way HanGyul treats EunChan is really disrespectful and toxic. I quit this on 12th episode where all the characters basically spell out to him their (I gonna use they/them here for EunChan) motivation and struggles they face, still HanGyul is irresponsible. With this said, I don't see that motivation to completely abandon EunChan and act like a dick from his side. All this performance feels extremely fake and disrespectful to the viewers, serving only to fuel the conflict, I tried to watch the 12th episode several times but never more than for 5 minutes.

🔸️The drama started out well though. If there was a comedy, it was in relationships between HanGyul and his fake boyfriend sprinkled with 2000s Korean fashion. The financial struggles of EunChan and their hard work were also the part of the good conflict.

🔸️I can't understand what the drama is about because it doesn't hold on the themes it introduces. The challenge to maintain the business is abandoned, the challenge to earn money for the family is abandoned, the challenge to stay in the closet turns into something bogus. Please, tell me, why does EunChan suddenly starts to dress up and act feminine when their biological sex is revealed in the most offensive way? They didn't dress up like that before, so why now?

🔸️I can, of course, put this on the shelf of 2000s. I could, but the rest of the drama is just as inept as the approach to LGBTQ theme. As a non-binary person, I'm offended not by the weak representation of it but of the overall incompetent approach to writing.
