My new #1 favorite korean bl.

I had just binge watched this series yesterday. Since it has been airing, I've heard a lot of good things about it. Other than that, it was all over my social media accounts. Twitter, Tiktok, Instagram-- it was everywhere. So I decided to finally watch it. I am a fan of Woongki, so I was anticipating the BL he was going to be in since it was announced, but I didn't realize it was this one until I had started watching. I did enjoy his character, though.

Now, onto the show itself. I was very confused at the beginning. But as time went on, I ended up understanding it more quickly. I loved the dynamic between Myungha and Yeowoon. Although, I felt insanely bad for Yeowoon because of his struggles, and I found that I related to him a lot. Same with Myungha, I related to him a lot more when his backstory was revealed near the ending of the story.

When I started the series, I had no idea what it was about. I didn't watch a trailer, read a synopsis or any reviews. I went in blind, but I think I enjoyed that more since I was able to piece to plot together myself. I enjoyed the unique plot a lot. There were many times where I was genuinely shocked at twists. Nothing that I had expected to happen did (other than the scenes I had briefly seen in edits before).

The two leads, Lee Taevin and Cha Joowon had really good chemistry. They also played their parts very well. I'm even more impressed with Taevin's portrayal of Myungha. It is difficult to express those complex and foreign emotions that Myungha had to deal with.

There is a lot I want to say, but I will refrain because I don't want to spoil. But, I highly recommend this to anyone, no matter what kind of love story they are looking for. It has it's cute moments, but the overall depths of the plot is very sad. I was even expecting it to have a sad ending (which I wouldn't have minded.)

I seriously enjoyed watching this, and I wish I could watch it again for the first time.
