I'm in a state of bliss right now.

I will admit, my friend had to work hard to convince me to watch this after the disappointment that was the series. But OMG THAT WAS SO WORTH IT!!!!!!! Maybe it was because I had low expectations, but that movie was really good. As a gay man, watching that felt so cathartic and I was 100% on Mico's side the whole time.

I love Mico's character so much because he fights for himself and doesn't put up with anyone's shit. And JC Alacantra did such a stellar acting job!!!

The production was great. The directing was great. The story was great. Even the ad placements were really smooth and well done!! Love it love it love it.

Also, I was not expecting that ending. DAMN THAT ENDING. Absolute perfection <3

Thank you so much to the cast and crew. I wish you all success and I hope you will bring more wonderful stories to my romantic queer soul. <3

I've seen better but loved the kisses

The story needed some improvement - ep 8 was completely unnecessary and the first few episodes were extremely depressing. Debtor is a depressing job, nothing romantic about that for me.

The best part of this show was the kissing, thank you for real and intense kisses. I felt the emotion in those scenes.

The music was great but my biggest problem with the show is I WANTED DANCING!! I wanted to see a full routine, not fake snapshots. I was hoping the dancing would play a more central role, and I was very disappointed.

Other issues - running through snow with no shoes? Getting out of a car that he's driving to run all the way back home? Breath fogging indoors suggesting it's freezing inside? What happened with Hyeong's job at the end? Why didn't we get to see the villain's reaction in the end? What's the truth about Shi On's mother?

Terrible.

Terrible. The actor playing Wade has zero acting skills: his expression is always blank, the delivery of his lines is flat, and his random smiles are so fake. The story is ridiculous and tragic; I don't understand how their communication is possible and it's so inconsistent. I understand it's a bit of fantasy, but it could at least make sense. Lastly, the production quality needs a lot of work. The most annoying part was how bad a job they did of showing the protagonists conversing. Sometimes, they're looking into a mirror but instead of showing the other character, they show a reflection? But in the same conversation they show each other? Why would the producers try to create this storyline if they can't even execute it?

I dropped when it starting getting too depressing. I was already not feeling it and the story turning bad just made it worse.
