This series was okay. It wasn't the worst I've seen, but it also wasn't anything special. Frankly, I was bored. I probably won't remember anything from this series in a couple of days.

Korean BLs are always low-budget; the world feels empty, and the acting is normally okay, but the actors have little to no chemistry. Why is it that Korean BL dramas have no extras? It's like the main characters live in an empty world outside a couple of other people. School, street, theater; all empty.

If the budget is so low that you can't use extras, good chemistry between the actors is a must, and here it just fell flat. I don't believe that either of them loves the other. When the main characters met again after 4 years, I felt nothing. I should have felt happy, or excited, or at least anticipating them seeing each other again, but nope. Just nothing. Also, I'm expected to believe that after 4 years apart without speaking to each other, their feelings didn't change at all? They focused so much on U Hyeon's crush on his teacher & didn't really develop his relationship with Doha at all, so in the end it felt very flat and surface-level.
