As others have said, this series is oddly addicting. It has a lot of the overused plots within BL which is why it's surprising to me how much I really genuinely enjoyed it. The characters are well acted and all of them are fun to watch (I mention this because in some BL, there will be characters..not always antagonistic ones, that I just don't like watching because they annoy me). Apart from the leads guys, I particularly liked the girls in this one, especially Yu na as she seems tough and no nonsense (except when drunk) but witty and sarcastic and I enjoy every scene she's in.

I felt like Sang Woo was heavily coded to be on the autistic spectrum and I thought it was pretty well done. I especially found the fact that Sang Woo asks him to not touch him without warning him ahead of time and the fact that Jae Young does this with no problem or questions from then on especially sweet. This is particularly poignant in that even when the scene isn't overly tense he does this (when Jae Young is pulling him by his bookbag strap rather than his hand).

The production of this is very good; what I've come to expect from Korean BL. The music was great (Romantic Devil is on my spotify now because I couldn't get it out of my head). And while the story is one used often (enemies to lovers in a school setting), it was told in a more fun way.

I have just rewatched this in the last few days and found it just as easy to watch again as the first time. Highly recommend.
