Cuteness,shallowness and annoyance
I was so hyped in the beginning, but it all felt like a waste of time in the end.It's a cringe and "cute" drama without any sense of logic or realism, i've noticed it in the first episode ,and didn't mind it at all(that was a mistake). However , as you watch , it progressively becomes harder to endure shallow and cringey scenes, i was so annoyed at the last episode that i wasn't able to watch it entirely. During the whole series , a lot of thoughts were popping in my head like:
- Why exactly did Duang like Qin?
- Qin's trauma is such a pampered annoying rich kid trauma.
- Duang changed absolutely nothing with Qin.
- What a boring couple .
I was really into this Series in the first episodes, but it was long hours of nothing , just a weird cuteness between the main chatacters and a badly developed side couple. Most of the dialogue doesn't feel natural and the acting had so much ups and downs. It was really a waste of time watching this.
Despite it all, it's not a bad Drama... but i regret watching it.

That's sad, and the more you reflect on it, the more it hurts.
That's a good series with an important subject, i really appreciate it, but...Shin is very lovely, and after seeing what happened it may break everyone's heart, also mine. His suffering was so touching, he really portrayed his feelings after everything in an impactful, very vulnerable way (the actor really did pretty good). After that i was devastated and the only thing i could think and wait for was justice for him, and protection, that was everything i wanted right after, however it didn't go that way.
Shin's father and mother are very insensitive, it really lacked emotions on them. How could they let the rapist go away not knowing what could happen with their son? Not knowing if he could appear again from somewhere. How could they listen to what Shin says after being raped? He was eighteen, only eighteen, and they were adults, meant to protect him. After Shin tried suicide, he woke up, and there were them acting as normal, asking if he needs something again. I couldn't help being frustrated, either they were poorly written characters or they were poorly insensitive parents, which would make sense, as Shin said everything in that house was so boring... When someone is that fragile and isn't able to see life without pain, you, friend or parent, should do the best you can to show other sides of life with actions. Boredom and silence will only help the trauma make the victim's head a playground. It's important to act, cause in that way the victim will feel, biologically, in an undeniable way, protected.
Shin had good friends, but in the same way as his parents they also committed mistakes. After Shin tried suicide, they said that it would be better to be with his parents in that moment... like... what??? It doesn't make any sense. As friends they weren't able to know if Shin's parents would really help him, did they not care enough?
What i mean is... he must have been feeling lonely even with people on his side, and that pisses me off.
The Effect isn't well developed, it had a little number of episodes, and with a subject like that, the lack of development is frustrating.
I know i complain a lot, but it isn't a bad series, it's worth watching. I felt a lot of feelings through this, it left an open sore on me, and that's cool. Actually i came here to complain and unleash what was bothering me.
But it's important to talk about the final, that doesn't make any sense, it doesn't even fit the rest of the drama. It simply doesn't make sense, i prefer to pretend it doesn't even exist anymore.

Incredible Acting!!
This movie is pretty good, the acting in specific ... Wow, it was amazing, these actors were shining on my screen, if it wasn't for bad storytelling i would rate this higher.The scene of the bully's death was terrible, i couldn't be convinced by that. How could she be prepared to bully and kill the protagonist and soon after beg for mercy , in the same circumstances. And her death was terrible, that was an accident, i would prefer if it were intentional , but that's not what was shown. That death being accidental made all the following scenes lose meaning(from the viewer's point of view).Although the bond between the main characters was incredible in the end, that was just an annoying situation to show that. I also felt a lack of scenes at the end, it ended abruptly.
Regarding the good traits, there were a bunch, especially the feeling of injustice that kindles rage and anguish, making you feel really disgusted and hateful toward bullying , the feeling of : "i'm fighting for a good life, but someone somewhere is fighting to survive". And amidst all that sorrow and discomfort, both victims of an unpleasant world become a shelter for each other and find a bit of happiness, a light, among all the darkness.
That's a good movie, i would recommend

A warmfull drama that i LOVED and i can call it my favorite, so please consider watching it.
This is my first review and i am not fluent in English, so i'm sorry for my mistakes.Despite all the coments about this being a BL, i don't think you should watch it waiting for it. In general, the serie has no romance, it is all about friendship , portrayed in a wonderful way that conquered me and can also conquer you. I also think that the tag LGBTQ+ placed here in My Drama List isn't good , because if a person that don't want to watch a LGBTQ+ serie see it, they will give up from watching it, but i think that almost everyone would love this serie, because it's very well made,its powefull and even the side stories are great.
This drama showed to me a lot of things about friendship, and how strong it could be, i really loved it and i can say that this is my favorite drama at this moment, it also made me cry , even me being a stubborn when this is the subject, all the hard phases that all they passed togheter , and also the good moments , it will ressonate in me forever because it's something too beauty and relly catched me. Please watch it , i think you would like it too.
