The Effect you feel after watching it ...

I am so disappointed with this!!!

This drama started off so well and so cute and loving, and I was really hooked onto it, then all of a sudden it took a 365 to the dark side and I was shocked and left with my mouth hanging.

I just cannot belive the turnaround of this whole drama!! From the start it gave me an idea on what I should be looking for, the every possible EFFECTs of the things we say or do. As for Newton's Third Law of motion states: "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction". For every EFFECT there is a CAUSE. One does not do an action without a reason behind it. The reason may be obvious, deliberate; but it could be also hidden or unaware to the person doing the action.

For me this drama touched on everything that does happen in soicety and life, in an unadulterated way features topics that seemingly people just sweep under the rug. (1) rape, (2) rumor mongering on social media, (3) suicide and (4) implied mental issue. Yes, number 1 and 3 have already mentioned in other BL series, but the way this series presented those is raw, graphic and it did not sugar-coat it. For the forth topic which is "mental health" is not that obvious, you need to analyze every detail from the start down to the very last scene. One needs to be very objective and it will be hard to do it with this very emotional show to see things through. It is presented in a way to raise awareness. The kind of EFFECTs any of the mentioned above could have is what the series wants to focus on, The power of social media. This is what consuming the society nowadays. With the information age at hand, it can bring out the bests in people as well as the worsts.

The Acting was real and raw and got to see how each character dealt with all of the above issues that took place.

The name of this drama is really fitting for this kind of drama, because it does a leave an effect on you, or a little reminder of what really goes on out there in the real world and how the above points do get dealt with. this was an emotional filled roller-coaster of a mini-drama. It was a bittersweet reality check that often doesn't get told in the BL world. Statistically, women and girls are abused and raped at an alarming rate, however, for men and boys those numbers are not a clear-cut because majority of them do not report their abuse and rape.

My Final & Overall, This is way too traumatic that even myself would not dare to watch this again. Also on a negative side of this drama was the ending for me, after 5 years they see each other across the street and they both step out into on coming traffic and the screen literally goes black? Now I am lefting wondering what happened to the two of them? Apart from that it was a well thought out and put together drama that touched alot of key and real points in life.
