Overview:

I tried my best to give this series a shot despite my initial lack of interest, as this series was widely acclaimed by many here. All in all, I felt as though was a complete lack of chemistry between the two protagonists and it progressively got worse with the second series. It made sense once I looked into the actors playing the main roles as Singto seems to have diverged entirely from BL series in his career, so his lack of passion and interest made sense.

Chemistry:

I feel as though it would behoove directors to intentionally cast "straight-acting" male leads as it leads to situations like these, in which chemistry is non-existent and hinders from the level of intimacy they're willing to perform. Not to say relationships are purely physical, but Arhit rarely touches Kong throughout the entire series, and his mood seems to change at the drop of a hat. Honestly, it seems like Arhit, whether it be the character or the actor, I'm not completely sure, is simply indifferent towards his "love interest". I would monitor the comments under the YouTube section and it seemed the fans of this series noticed it as well but stated that this was a more "realistic" view of couples which I completely disagree with.

Acting:

There wasn't much depth in the acting department, as Kong seemed very one-dimensional and almost always smiling at the most random times. His arsenal of facial expressions seemed to consist solely of smiling and staring. I already previously mentioned how Arhit felt indifferent most of the series, and I'm not entirely sure if it was due to the script or his acting. I think there's some validity to some of these BL series being "overacted" or too unrealistic, but this series definitely turned the temperature all the way down to the point where I question if they would even be good room-mates, let alone a couple.
