This drama gave me the same emotions as To My Star, it's a real gem in the stream of gay romance that Korea has been providing lately.
What I like: the story isn't focused on the homosexuality but on human relationships. And for this aspect, thanks to the scriptwriters because it's exactly what I've been waiting for ages.
Sang Woo's character is one of the best written I've seen in a long time, he's really rooted in reality, some of us can relate to him. Most of the time he's unconcerned of his fellow man feeling, he's gauche in his actions and reactions and yet everything he does makes sense. I like his rationality, I like how he's confused by what he doesn't control and in the other hand he accepted to take measured risks to make room for his feelings . As for Jang Jae Young, he's the perfect match. The fact that he accepts Sang Woo idiosyncrasies and at the same time helps him open up is what we want from a partner. He's straightforward, stubborn when he needs to be and knows how to withdraw when necessary.
The writer really knew how to highlight the complementarity in their difference. This drama is the good definition of the word "normalization" if that word should be used in romanceland.
PS: The nod to Jang Jae Young and Choi Yu Na's exes is my favorite part.
