The best and most entertaining k-drama/reality show
i honestly loved everything about this show, each episode had me hooked and i was not bored for a single second, each episode is like a new story so there is always something to look forward too, the cast were all very cute and the couples in the end were so cute, this show is kind of slow paced (14 eps and each is 1hr or more) so its kind of a one time show becuz you already know what happens so it won't be as fun the second time you watch it, but the first time you watch it, you will really like it. I really liked the reality of this show, there were lots of emotions and how humans behave when they fall in love, everything about this show is just so perfect.Was this review helpful to you?
an aesthetically pleasing show
Finding shows like this is actually kinda rare, this show was simple, not dragged on at all, the character/main couple had their time to shine and grow and didn't feel even a bit rushed, unlike other k-bls or bls in general, they are rushed and move things way too quickly and i liked that this show worked its way slowly. lets get into it,the first thing i really liked about this show is the acting, those crying scenes were very realistic and they made me all teary eyed too, the main characters played very well together and i really liked that there was no third wheel coming to break their relationship, their own insecurity broke them apart and thats what made this show unique, there was no unnecessary cheating and all.
My fave thing was that there was no non-consented kisses, this is one of my biggest pet peeve and i liked that both of them were attracted to each other and not one does not force feelings onto the other.
Storyline: the story line was incredible, it really highlighted insecurity and body and weight struggles which is a big problem and that was the whole plot of the story and everything just slowly fitted in perfectly. Body image and insecurity is a big problem and i liked that there is a show like this to shed light to this topic.
The music was there, and it fit well, there was no unnecessary music added in between the scenes and i liked that.
This show is worth the watch, its a cute show, it has intimate scenes too which is kinda rare in k-bls, it brings awareness to some serious topics and is not just another cheesy mini series (which i def don't mind) but its good to watch something unique and different than other shows.
If you're looking for a show that is short, full of surprises, funny, cute couple scenes and good kiss scenes, i recommend this show, you will really like it.

The best bl ever released?
everything about this show was such absolutely amazing, the climax of this show was really good and the storyline was incredible, I love the fact that they didn't rush the relationship between the 2 main lovers, i really like that it was kind of slow paced. I really thought amber was a trans man, was kind of disappointed when he wasn't but besides that, everything about this show was very well written and the acting was very realistic, did not feel awkward even once watching them. It is definitely rewatch worthy but it is honestly most enjoyable on the first watch, it is best when binge watched, that way it is more fun.The best thing about this show was that it wasn't awkward or weird with le and amber, they both looked comfortable around each other and didn't look weird or awkward, the casting was really good and the couple matched well, even with the side characters, they were all very well fitted in the show, probably the best part about the show is the casting.
The ending/last episode was incredible and they ended the show perfectly, a lot of shows end the show every badly or rush to end it, but it really didn't feel like that with this show. I'm really happy with the ending and don't need another season, with aq lot of shows, i need another season or more eps cuz I'm not satisfied with the ending but with show, the ending was really good and happy that I really son't need another season.
I will definitely be watching this show again soon, this show was just too good and i was giggling and kicking my feet every ep, was not bored at all and that is really rare, i was enjoying each episode as there was always something to look forward to.
Thank you to all the cast members and the crew. This is one of my fave shows.

A very unique and realistic drama
I came here to watch this in hopes of a cute bl, but this was a very unique and amazing show. One thing i loved about this show is how realistic it was, it wasn't fiction but the reality that most queer people face in real life.What i liked about this show: all the people in the show were very unique and they were all different from each other, they had their own personality, all the cast delivered an amazing performance and executed their characters very well. This show was very realistic and not some fiction. The best thing about this show was in the last ep when meiko told eji,"do as you please, please don't think about whats good for shihi and me". This kinda brought tears to my eyes.
the reason i watch bls is to run away from reality only to be bombarded with reality in the face ........
What i didn't like about this show:
One of the major things i didn't like about this show is that it was a little too slow paced for my liking, i would catch myself zoning out a couple times, like that ep where eji was blow drying maakis hair, it went on for so long and they weren't even talking, so it was a bit awkward. They should've made eji and maakis relationship a little longer, should've added more days and alone days with just the two of them, we just kept jumping from year to year but they didn't really show that the two characters build up and having those random lovey dovey moments, because of this, ejis and maakis relationship didn't really seem that strong and they were both kind of awkward around each other. They just seemed like they were each other high school crushes and nothing more.
Storyline: the story line was amazing and every bit of this show was a masterpiece, it felt like i was watching a reality show than a fictional bl drama because of the camera positioning and the dialogues, it just felt like they were talking from their own mind rather than a script and we were actually there and that was one of my fave things about this show, sometimes its good to face reality, haha. I liked how every single character is portrayed, just amazing. the story went from interesting, cute and fun to realistic, sad and depressing and i somewhat liked it.
Music wasn't it really there but the end of each ep with the credits and the music was kinda nice, i really like the simplicity of the show
Rewatch value: I would kinda never watch it again, it was a cute and fun show but it gets to depressing for me, if i were to watch it ever again, i would only watch the first 4-5 eps because the days where eji, maaki and meiko were chilling and going to fun places was very fun and entertaining to watch, then when they became adults, the show starting taking a more serious turn it got too much to handle.
Overrall a great show, i really enjoyed, there were some scenes that were cute and recording worthy, the show is just too depressing for me, it was such a perfect end, i don't want another season, if there is another season, it better not have a single second of a depressing moment, every second and every ep should be the cheesiest and unrealistic moment as possible
if you're into dark, realistic shows with queer characters existing, then you will really like this show.
