one of the most realistic dramas
I loved the drama even though at some point I really wanted to drop it because the love triangle was KILLING ME but the chemistry between the leads was so cute .. it also made me sad a bit where they showed how the school is homophobic towards them and judged them in fact that's the true face of the society nowadays..I am so satisfied by this bl that I will watch it again
AND THHE ENDGAME OMGG NEVER DID I EVER EXPECT THAT SHINWOO IS GONNA BE THE END GAME OMG

got my heart in a twist for 16 episodes
this series was really well made, cute, fluffy, angsty (but not in a bad way) the love triangle drama is something i usually avoid but they really made it work this time so i have no complaints about it. although my heart was twisting and turning in my chest the whole time and you really couldn't tell who the main couple was going to end up being, which is nice but also so murderous to my heart.superb casting, really the actors really fit with their characters both look and personality was so well matched and that's something i really enjoy cause it makes it feel so much more natural.
i do wish there was a bit more of a lovey dovey feeling, we got some in the end but there could have been a lil bit more gay in this series, not talking smut but u know those little moments that make all the Y-girls and boys squeel a bit.
half the time i felt like this could easily turn into a straight k-drama but luckily it didn't XD
Kang Yoo Seok (Shin Woo) is now on my top actors list cause holy fuck my feels for him in this role were beyond normal.
that's all i really have to say, if u haven't watched this yet and like the cute kind of BL i would 100% recommend u watch this because it really is a well made drama.

I expected more based on the reviews here but it was just okay to me
I ended up stopping at episode 11 so here's my review of it.My main gripe is with the actor for Taekyung. He's stiff. I get that he's supposed to be awkward, but an example of someone who portrays that better and with more complexity is the guy who plays Shinwoo. Taekyung's delivery of words feels so robotic and emotionless whether he's happy or sad. His crying scene was just him covering his entire face and whimipering, so I couldn't read his expressions. And the end kiss scene was awkward because he just stood there being kissed. From the get go I don't bother to care who Taekyung ends up with because he isn't that likable and I don't get why two guys would even fall in love with him lol. I guess he's straightforward, but that's like the only personality trait he has. Also, to add to Taekyung's robotic personality, his face looks unnatural to me - too much makeup or plastic surgery with the super pointy nose and chin. I also hate the stereotype in BL that the "cute" guy has to be clumsy. In the first episode he dramatically trips on his feet and pokes Shinwoo's butt with a dildo, and later on he bumps his head on a door which somehow leaves a bad enough injury that the guys who like him worry over it over the next few episodes.
On the other hand, I LOVE Shinwoo's actor. He is excellent with his facial expressions. You can see his longing for Taekyung at times from his glances, and his awkwardness is endearing and likeable compared to Taekyung's. It makes me wish he was the lead actor instead cause he clearly has more skills. Can we stop casting idols/ex-idols as lead actors in a BL drama just because of their looks, and instead cast people who can act?

Minor spoiler up to first half of show.
I really wanted to like this show, since I haven't watched a Korean BL drama for a while.It was cute in the beginning, I did giggle a bit. Then it went downhill. First of all, the character development feels so weak. I can tell the characters are opening up/changing attitudes but the way it is portrayed is so underwhelming. Shinwoo and Siwoon were the only characters I liked throughout the 7 EPs I watched. Other than that it seems like no one is actually feeling proper emotions.
You COULD call it more on the realistic side(Love triangle type of thing, messy emotions for different people), but it's gone wrong somewhere in the acting/script writing or directing. It just feels forced and uncomfortable half of the time. It doesn't make sense that a shy person who has never had friends suddenly starts arguing with a random they don't really know. Taekyungs actions just don't make sense for me. Daon was cute but he was so flat idk. Also the girl is so annoying for what?
I wouldn't watch this again, I couldn't feel anything for most of the characters and really was frustrated because nothing was happening. Dropped it unfortunately.

Gets a little boring near the end but I still love it overall
It is an ordinary school romance drama with a love triangle thing as one of the main conflicts. But, despite the mainstream plot they have, I think this drama is so WELL-MADE. I'd say it's the first Korean proper-BL-drama in history. From how clear and high quality the cinematography is, how the story goes without feeling rushed at all and ended up having 16 ep (that was long), and the soundtrack...they collab with A.C.E, I repeat THEY COLLAB WITH A.C.E!! Everyone knows how big A.C.E is right now and how good the soundtrack is (the title is SPARK by A.C.E). Anyway, as I've mentioned in my headline it doesn't feel rushed at all but otherwise, it gets boring near the end because of their slow-solved-problem method when it's completely predictable.About the acting skills, none of them I consider as bad. No one. They are all good actors but Kang Yoo Seok and Go Woo Jin are above the other casts in terms of acting skills. I mean there were times when I found their acting was A BIT awkward, just A BIT but visible (not really disturbing, tho).
Overall, I LOVE IT! I know I said it gets boring near the end but as soon as it ends I already miss them and want to rewatch it.
*For your information, if a drama makes you miss them already as soon as it ends that means that drama is GOOD.*

One of the Best BL ever!!!
Oh my!!! After watching Episode 16, I just can’t contain my happiness!!! The ending was so good!The series itself was a masterpiece! Who would have thought that the story is not ordinary! I was so affected by the series! The story was amazing! The script, music, cast were perfect!!! I really love it!!!
The cast were really good! Shin Woo’s eyes really conveyed emotions! Every characters has their own development and they have grown to a better person.
The cliffhangers on every episode made me thinking every week! At the end of episode 15, I still don’t know who will Tae end up with! The writers and director are amazing! Great job guys!!!

Foundation for more BL Kdramas in the future
In the past, we were drawn to Korean dramas with usual troupes and storylines. From He’s Beautiful, Flower Boy Next Door, Coffee Prince, Boys over Flowers, and Princess Hours, it contained the schematic plot formulas - enemies to lovers, princely male leads and cliche romantic storylines that garnered huge attention from the viewers. These were the materials used as baseline to recognize the techniques of the industry.The rise of Korean dramas led to more creative outputs that will surely accumulate more viewers like Descendants of the Sun, Law School, Sweet Home, It’s okay not to be okay, and Hotel Luna that were more substantial in terms of plots and characterization. I think Light on Me is a drama that could establish the same baseline for BL Korean dramas to be prominent. It has the same schematic formulas we usually see in Korean dramas - a male lead, a second male lead and a tactless main character who we all want to be happy.
In my opinion, it is a drama that anyone could enjoy even if they don’t usually watch BL dramas as long as they are a fan of typical Korean writing. The plot is really light and mellow that I personally would love to just watch the released episodes again to make my heart melt. As of the moment, I would love to reach the end to see who will our dear Tae kyung end up with, which obviously is really good because I saw a lot of viewers riding on different ships, which means they are hooked.
I read different theories but if I would solely based my opinion by only watching the drama, I don’t know who the main character will end up with because the drama gives you the thrill of making both the male leads the possible end game. I want to share that I am on Team Daon. I was first Team Shinwoo but the latest episodes made me jump on the other ship. If you are looking for a drama that would make you confuse on who to cheer on, then this drama is for you.
Overall, I hope to see more BL Korean dramas dwell on different plot lines but for now, I am satisfied with the cliche romantic storylines because I know it will only get better at this point.

First Sight Review
The title itself sounds amusing and interesting, that's no doubt. if you are interested in a storyline where the plot involving the leads go from hate to love relationship them this would be a must. Korea doesn't give us much BL'S with long duration but this is worth it as every episode maximizes to twenty minutes and not to forget that it has 16 episodes. first episode was mazing as i thought. it also gives insight to the sex education that does not show up in Korean dramas. the cast's acting is fantastic. The swoon worthy moments this will build up to will be amazing to watch as the episodes progresses. the bickering between the leads is a must laugh moments.Was this review helpful to you?

It's lit.?
I honestly think this is so cute. From the bg music to the acting skills to looks to story. It really is good. The 1st episode will get you hooked up with the show. And, once you're in, there's no way out.😂❤Honestly, I really like how LGBTQ+ community is getting in the spotlight. I have a huge respect for them. For me they are the most courageous people of all. Dramas like this play an important role for LGBTQ+ community to want to open up.
And, if no one told you, let me tell you this, you look good. And, hang in there whatever you're going through.!!❤

I've never been in love with a show more than this one
The first time I watched this show I knew id end up loving it.Its not your average "spicy" BL that most people want, its extremely wholesome and fluffy. I love the enemies to lover with a touch of a love Triangle,
This series, is just perfectly done in my opinion, I love the bright, almost pastel color palette, the character development, the drama in the plot and the ending resolution,
I do love Spicy BL's but I think we need more of these kinds, this series is definitely rewatchable because of the fact that it just makes me happy anytime its on the screen
