Tingling slow burn romance - Gotta praise Jun.Q for his incredible acting

I really like the story, it got that melancholic feeling to it with slight comedy relief here and there. It's also a well written story, good understandable scenes and it make you want to keep going back for more due to the careful plot distribution for each episode. If you like slow-burn romance with little to no skinship, this is a great movie for you. I like it because of how simple it is, you might even have experienced something like this in your life. The conflict is simple but understandable, though I feel like the build up to the ending could be better but overall! A great series.

I am surprised by the actors acting, especially Jun.Q (Woo Jae), while Han Jung Wan (Yeon Woo) is a bit on the okay side. Jun.Q did a great job portraying that longing but hating eyes, as if Woo Jae is holding himself from spilling too much of his emotion to Yeon Woo. His subtle expression and little details make it so heart wrenching in some scenes. Even without dialogue you know how Woo Jae feels and I think he's incredible for that. Jung Wan's eyes and expressions are a little bit dead but he's good somehow.

There are some technical mistakes (like a mic still attached to Jun.Q on the shot when he cried lmao, and the awkward rains), but the shots are incredible, the color grading, the scenery, the music! and also the wardrobe. I'm thankful that the boys are always looking handsome and well dressed throughout the movie. It's a movie that's pleasing to your eyes.

The only thing I want to change is the dead kissing scene, oh god please. The chemistry and tension between the lovers are only there for like 70% (with Jun.Q hard carrying it), the dead kissing scene only ruins the tension between them. These little things surely stop me from going fully immersed in the movie.
