Could've done more if it was longer and the story was more fleshed out

As the first Korean BL, it had good acting. In more intimate scenes from the beginning, you could see the main actors' discomfort at times, but by the end it was very smooth. What saves the music is the song, "Light" for me. Rhat song was so pretty and it was the one song I find actually made an impact on the scenes. Now onto the story.

Bear in mind, this is a webdrama with few and short episodes compared to fully fleshed 12-32ep 40min - 1hr dramas with 8 10min episodes. I do wish it was longer as there are many plot holes due to jumpiness of trying to flesh out an entire supposedly slow burn, yearning romance in 80min.

I find the plot would have faired way better should it have focused on Taejoo's father being the antagonist the entire time rather than having him pop up as a last minute villain. I do like how Hyemi did find someone who could give her a happy relationship. Pilhyun really did do a good job as comedic relief and Hyemi's mom was truly the star of the show. I felt the Gook/Hyemi plot made no sense and really would've worked better as a smaller side plot.

There was a lot left desired due to the lack of depth that could've been delved into, but it was a decent break-in into the BL industry.
