Deception .... Heartbreaking.... Enjoyable....

I totally loved this drama, not only for the two main hot leads, but the fact they showed how each of them grew from the first series (together with me).

The story line is isn't your typically BL dramas, and people apparently can't handle that. No, it isn't lighthearted and easygoing like other series out there; but it's raw and authentic and definitely deserves its worth. The actors here are fantastic as always, and the writing is not terrible like some are making it out to be; clearly something's working because it's doing what a good story is supposed to do: it's making people react, it's evoking emotions. I did have mixed emotions, on the whole cheating lifestyle of farm and rit story, but after sticking to my guns and pursed on, Farm and Bright's story (which is essentially Farm giving Bright a taste of his own medicine), this isn't true. Both Yihwa and Korn (the two "cheaters") are placed in situations that test their feelings and relationships. Korn's is induced by mounting pressure from his conservative, overbearing father to denounce his homosexuality and the strain this puts on his relationship with Knock (which causes them to fight about other little things as well), while Yihwa finds herself being seduced by her senior and boss. They're conflicted and act out of moments of weakness. Korn has ONE sexual encounter with his boss during a night of drinking and commiserating. Yihwa, beginning to feel conflicted and confused about her feelings towards Cho in light of the flirtatious attention from her boss, decides to take a break from both and figure herself out. And that's it!

Personnel I think each of these characters story line and how they played out was really good, it showed how each individual dealt with there problems, and how all stood together when times hit rock bottom, especially Fai she never wavered away despite her strong opion on cheating and deception. Korn and Knock story was really strong, although he cheated on his partner he was remorseful and regretted what he did, which showed his love and commitment to him, I found the parents really funny though and they did add a bit of lightness to the drama. Yihwa, who made it seem like she ended cheating, felt bad for own deceitful, but to how her friend did it.

MUSIC: I don't have much to say about the music and I really loved the fact that they used the soundtracks from the previous seasons too, especially from Bad Romance <3 It made it easier to take the feel of that moment. I can't say that I loved all the songs but they did suite the moment when it was playing.

REWATCH VALUE: I would 100% rewatch these series just for the sake of having fun or when I feel bad to make my day better and care more about their problems rather than mine.

OVERALL: I really enjoyed these series and I and really sad that so many people dropped hem in the middle just because they didn't get the classic lovey-dovey BL series they were expecting for. But then again, this is so much more interesting than just another cheesy series where everything is rainbows and sweetness. It's not like that in real life and it nice to take something with you from the series as a life lesson :)
