to enjoy the KD BL clichés

Watching this series is like reading a yaoi manhua but closer to bromance than BL. It is very visual and light, with magnificent actors. Fun because it also uses all the clichés and resources of Kdramas to generate chance encounters and fuel romance. The approach of the story is the typical one of two boys who meet by chance (neighbors) and how fate intervenes with those Kdrama and BL clichés to bring them closer in friendship and generating confusion in the people around them who see romance where they just friendship. Very good to spend a while and recreate ourselves in those common places of so many stories in a serious plan that we have seen and read. The music fits perfectly and underlines hilarious moments like the races in the rain or under the coat or the scene in the shower. The actors and actress who are great interpreters of great successes stand out. And the slow cameras, which allow us to see it coming and in slow motion. Screenwriter Choi Woo Joo builds the plot excellently. Really, the cast is luxurious, which can make us think that they recorded this series for pure enjoyment. just remember that Jang Ki Yong is the 999-year-old gumiho from the hit kdrama My Roommate Is a Gumiho; and Choi Woo Shik l Prince Yi Gak of the Joseon era in Rooftop Prince; to name two great series, it's like laughing at themselves with us. Funny and very nice to watch.
