In a land of magical creatures and where dreams come true...
This review may contain spoilers
The series deviated a bit from the source material but that's the same in most cases with dramas. The story-line is a bit cliche and kind of predictable but nonetheless it is still enjoyable. It's a rather lighthearted series overall with the inclusion several problems.
The inclusion of the Scrubb songs as ost are absolutely amazing and well-done per the novel. Bright as well as has a great voice, and I'm glad they gave him 2 songs for the series.
It's obvious to me that most people watched the drama for the visuals of Bright and Win but their acting are decent as well. Especially Win for giving an outstanding crying performance in one scene towards the later episodes. It was emotional and I as well as others felt the connection with his character. He even received praise from experts within the field despite this series being his first work.
What I dislike about BL series, or those I've recently watched, is the inclusion of a side pairing like 2-3 episodes before the series end. I would like to see the side pairings development close to the beginning as well. In the case of 2gether, Type's and Man's coupling was hinted from the beginning but it took the final episode for them to officially be together. I'm happy for it but I would like the series to be invested in that coupling as much as any other "official" couple. It was the same situation in Theory of Love with Two and Un towards the ending of the series.
A lot of people are upset that the Sarawat and Tine had a bromantic story near the end rather than actually love. I'd like to refute that since when was an intimate scene necessary for them to show their love although I'd admit the high-five towards the end was a bit awkward. We've known for several episodes that they indeed love one another so what's more to prove it? A kiss? A hug? However, let's remind ourselves that the scenes are not shot in order so the ending scenes were probably shot before several other proceeding scenes (i.e. the camping scenes was apparently shot last) which gives the atmosphere of awkwardness.
Rather than a second season, I'd want a new series with the 2 main instead since I'm rather satisfied with the way the story ended. A second season would be an invitation to mess what has been established already meaning more unnecessary drama and conflicts, however, a spin-off with Type and Man wouldn't be bad since it gives way to explore their relationship.
Overall, the story was rather simple but executed fine. There weren't any loose ends which satisfies the story.
