I was thoroughly impressed with this drama. It's not often that we see a genuine gay love story portrayed on screen, but this show made a valiant effort to do just that - and succeeded. As someone who has watched other BL series, I can attest to the fact that the homophobia of Korean society often seeps into the acting and direction of these shows, but that was not the case here.

The script was already a strong starting point, but the actors truly brought it to life. Im Ji Sub and Oh Jun Taek were absolutely stellar as the lead actors. Their performances were so nuanced that you could tell exactly how their characters were feeling just from a single expression or exchange. The chemistry and tension between them was palpable, and you could feel the mutual romantic curiosity between them.

Overall, I would highly recommend this show to anyone looking for a well-crafted and authentic gay love story. It's a refreshing change from the usual tropes and stereotypes that we see in this genre, and it's definitely worth a watch.
