Better than expected

This series seems to have triggered a lot of reviewers. Quite a few complained about how unrealistic this is. Duh. Is anything in BL realistic? The lack of realistic adult communication is what makes it all so entertaining. Of course, real adults who had some idea of what they were feeling would communicate some of it. But the point of a lot of BL is to emphasize what happens when the miscommunication is ramped up to the max. And BL uses that to illustrate human struggles with self-confidence, fear of failure, fear of rejection, etc. In a world where LGBTQ will always be a minority, the risk levels to being honest and forthcoming are much higher. Also, there is great comic value in misunderstandings. Is this series perfect ? No. But its definitely good and an interesting variation for Korean BL. There is some unevenness in the last few episodes which could have been done better and perhaps it misses some things from the original. But it certainly deserves more love than its getting. Extra points awarded for dealing with Bi issues in a sensitive way, and for showing the damage done to others by not being honest with yourself.
