The cinematography is soo good



I definitely have to say, this drama was well-written, with a decent script, decent acting, and calmingly amazing cinematography.

It only took me about ten minutes to realize that this drama was going to be good, and I was not disappointed. The first episodes felt like magic to me. The tension between the characters was something that I haven't seen much in BL or even straight dramas. Even though the kiss in the third episode felt rushed and left me in surprise and true confusion.

The characters were amazingly written, beautifully flawed, and realistic, such that you could probably relate to them.

Jihyun was the character that I personally could relate to the most. A countryside boy who is scared to do a lot of things, especially in a busy, bustling city. Even though I was born in a big city, there are still a lot of things I'm afraid to do in a hustling place like this. He was adorable, sensitive, and emotional, which I adore a lot.
Now, talking about Jaewon, I feel so bad for him. Whatever stupid things he has done, I never feel furious at him because I could understand his actions and fears. I had all the sympathy for him. Life can be extra tough when you have a traumatic old memory haunting you everywhere, but it's fine once you overcome it and start anew, just like he did. After encountering the accident at the beach, he was afraid that he would unintentionally hurt Jihyun just like how he hurt his younger brother. The guilt was eating him up, but it was good for him that he decided to start anew and overcome his fears. It's nice to see character development done right.
Other characters were nice as well, especially the girl Aeri. I genuinely wanted to hug her sometimes; she was a good friend and a cool person. I hope I meet somebody like her. Some characters were annoying, but I guess they did a good job being annoying.

The cinematography was something that you could not ignore, and it shows the second you enter into the drama. Phenomenal cinematography with amazing shots and a visually pleasing aesthetic. There is no doubt that good direction and cinematography can make any film or series even better.

Overall, it was one of the best K-BL dramas I've ever seen because K-BL dramas have never set my standards high, but we definitely having High standard with with this one.
