In my opinion, there are several pros and cons to consider when discussing this drama. Let's start with the pros. Firstly, the main lead, Taegyeong, is a character who stands out. He is not a pushover at all and is incredibly clear and honest with himself. This is what attracts his suitors, as he consistently speaks his mind throughout the drama.

Next, the love interests in the drama, Da On and Shinwoo, are both intriguing characters. Da On is genuinely nice and caring, while Shinwoo starts off cold but quickly becomes adorable. What I appreciate about these characters is that they are at different stages of accepting who they are, which adds depth to their personalities. Both men are equally kindhearted and genuine. Shinwoo has fully accepted himself, whereas Da On has only just realized and begun his journey to self-acceptance.

However, there are also some cons to consider. One major drawback is the slow pace of the drama. While the plot itself may not be slow, the actors tend to move, speak, and even walk slowly. This can be frustrating for viewers who prefer a faster pace.

Another negative aspect is the inclusion of a random girl who kept appearing at the all-boys school. Personally, I disliked her character as she initially betrayed her friends for her own satisfaction. Although she undergoes a redemption arc and changes by the end, her actions were still considered a major betrayal.

Lastly, there is a lack of consistency and flow between episodes. Each episode starts abruptly with something completely different from how the previous episode ended. This can make it difficult for viewers who are binge-watching to feel fully engaged, as it feels like something is missing.
