Way better then most BL series out there but not perfect.

It's not a perfect series, but they really tried. What I didn't like it was the sequence sometimes felt really off, but the rest was by far way better that most BL series out there. Both main characters were well portrayed. The chemistry was there, the longing, the desire, the doubt, the urge to be together, the sadness, and so on, you can clearly feel that because both actors really did their job and gave what they have.

Lim Ji-Sub surprised me the most; what a beautiful gem they got while casting him. The "micro" expressions you can see thanks to the careful angles the directors decided to film him, that's from another world. The way that man can change his sad and empty expression by just a tiny hint of a smile, it's definitely not something lot of actors out there can pull off. I hope we can see him in more projects in the future.

Oh Jun Taek. Another great discover. If I'm not mistaken, his first role and he was castead out the streets. Regardless, he delivered and showed that you don't really need that much experience to give such a warm, beautiful and natural performance, which it's not that common in the BL industry, where most actors seems to be waiting constantly to say their lines in the most lame way and go home.

Should all BL's stories be like "The Eighth Sense"? Definitely, no.
But I hope, in terms of production, quality and performance, other productions could improve and deliver better series since the BL industry is growing more and more.
After finishing the series, you can clearly see that the production didn't "just wanted to ride the BL train trend";
they actually wanted to tell a story, took care of details, and make the most out of their cast and resources.

Let's stay tuned for what other projects the actors & directors have for us in the future.
