A great time from beginning to end!

I was very pleasantly surprised with this title. I can't count the amount of times I laughed out loud at a humorous scene, and I was very endeared by all of the characters. The scenes potraying the main characters' work lives brought a distinct flavor to this series that I adored. The progression of the relationship felt organic, and I appreciated that it was handled with maturity and subtelty. Adult BL characters are potrayed like emotionally illiterate teenagers way too often, and I liked that these two allowed their relationship to unfold naturally. I felt like I was watching actual queer characters in a queer piece of media, which is unfortunately a rarity in BL.

Probably the biggest compliment I have for this series is that it subverted my biggest pet peeves when it comes to Korean BL series - the love triangle (square?) wasn't forced in for the sake of petty drama but handled with adult-level communication, and the series didn't lose its good pacing near the end as so many others tend to do. More series should learn how to handle conflict resolution from this one.
