The best Korean BL I've seen so far

I was so excited to see that this BL would have 16 episodes even though it would only have about 20 to 30 minutes running time per average but it's okay since it aired twice a week. This is one of those dramas where I found myself wanting for it to be Tuesday and Thursday faster so I could watch an episode. I'm so glad I watched it while it was airing even though I usually wait for dramas to be done because the happiness the story and characters gave me was worth the wait! The story first of all is your typical trope of discovering your sexuality in high school but it had something new to it like how I didn't actually expect that the main characters with the exception of Daon at first, accepted that they were gay without showing us too much of them having internalized homophobia. Shinwoo I think is misunderstood at first because he acts cold to Taekyung but its understandable since he had a bad experience in middle school when he first liked a classmate which led to his "friends" bullying and blackmailing to out him. I loved the character developments of Shinwoo who became more open and not caring what people think of him because of his love for Taekyung as well as Daon who after getting rejected by Taekyung still kept being friends with Shinwoo and Taekyung and it wasn't awkward at all at the end especially. Daon was afraid of letting people down as he is a model student after all and his parents are powerful people so I can understand the hesitation at first but at the end he started to learn to say no to others and to not care about what they think of him. The ending kiss scene made me scream for real. It was so sweet though I was kinda hoping it would have lasted a little longer but I understand since it's their first kiss and they're still in high school, I'm satisfied with it. Also a special mention to Namgoong as the best support role and friend as he was always supportive without judgment to all of them even Sohee who he encouraged to go make up with Daon even though it was implied that he liked her. Overall, this is very much worth the watch if you're looking for a somewhat light drama but with a great lesson too! I wish there would be a second season as I want to see how Shinwoo and Taekyung's relationship develops until college and maybe even have a love interest for Daon.
