Could two kings co-exist?
I am confused! I cannot say MLs are attractive (my opinion)it does not seem this story could happen in real life, I even must admit that I would not be sad if leads separated and their paths went different directions. At the same time I was watching the story and never was bored. Whereas in other bl dramas we usually have two handsome boys and it is easy to "forgive" mistakes - because they are cute... here, with one lead shown as a king and another - a slave like nerd (I checked - actor is a cutie one, it must have taken a lot of effort to make him look creepy), it take some energy and thinking to understand the real reason they are together. MLs are strengthening each other, the drama shows that heart has its own ways and real love is much deeper than appearance and conventional behavior. Chemistry is on other level, and I can believe that, as after butterflies in the stomach period, relationships must have deeper meaning, such as partner's development, discovery of new personality layers, surprises.Maybe this is not the best drama, maybe I won't rewatch it and it is not sweet, but was it worth my time? Definitely!

Epic and cannot be obsolete ever
If you are in bl- this is a must watch and still relevant.It is a shame I watched it only in 2024. Nevertheless, it is still one of the best bls I have watched.
OST: I listen to osts almost daily and all of them are awesome, each time experience the same emotions and warmth as during watching the series.
Acting: probably not professionals, it was a cast of newbies. They managed to deliver natural youth awkwardness in the best way - sweet and naive, at the same time with personality growth and decision making abilities and no toxicity.
I will definitely rewatch that for music, for the story - altogether 48 episodes, and I would be happy to have 2-3 times more!
I never skip scenes, the first s with 12 ep was strange, I was not even able to understand who is the main couple at first. Second season - 36 ep, side stories were drastically reduced, and still - the story was rushed at the end. That is in itself fenomenal - bl drama, long enough, and I still was craving for more!
What caught me? Sincerity, real life situations and conflicts and their reconciliation. There is not over performance or exaggeration.
To conclude, after 100+ bls, this is the inly one, when I can say I would love to forget everything and watch again!
