The duality and acting

Let's break this down to a few categories.

Acting
I have watched enchante before this and I would say their acting has improved by quite a bit. I think Force's acting improved more significantly and I think his portrayal of this character is well done. For Book, he is also doing a great job at portraying his funny but morally wise and supportive character. As for the side characters, I would say they as well are portraying their roles well. But this is just the second episode.

Story
Although this type of office romance is kinda common, I would say this is executed well (it is different from the typical university students au). The story touches on some important concepts even within this BL community, like talking about top and bottom, mother and father when it is absolutely unnecessary. They can be whoever they like. Thye also bring up the topic of depression would I look forward to see this develop in later episodes. This is all done with comedy infused.

Ost
Book's voice is not that bad, but I would not say the ost is one of the best, but it is certainly good (I am in a choir and learn abt singing and what not).

Screenwriting
The dialogues for Cher's lines feel like they fit him completely, and this is the same with Gun. I would like to talk about the bbq scene. I feel like the dialogue of the friends when they first met him is a bit overexaggerated but I don't know whether it is intentional.

Miscellaneous
I would say that this pacing is not bad. Even though we get the first kiss in ep 2, which from other shows usually come at about ep 5-7, I would not say it is fast paced. They both agreed to have their first kiss and might even want to be a couple at this point.

Ending note
This show is a must-watch for BL fans. Overall, it is a 8.5/10 for me. It's more of a leisure show than a serious show so expect laughs. This is definitely worth a rewatch if it remains this performance.
