Lackluster, Generic

General spoilers only. The story moved too fast in eight 15min episodes for the main relationship to build any real connection or emotional depth. We get one montage of them happily dating and yet the characters are invested in each other like it's been months.

You might enjoy this if you want something quick and simple while you're sick or to have going on in the background. It's not bad, it's just not very meaningful.

I felt that Ho Yeon, the 2nd male lead, aka the the third wheel with unrequited love, had more depth to his feelings for Seung Jun than Jae Hyun. Jae Hyun has a simple love-at-first-sight obsession. There's no reason behind it. Whereas Ho Yeon has been steadfastly by Seung Jun's side through thick and thin and is so caring and supportive. I would have been much more invested if the story had focused on him and Seung Jun.

I thought the actors did well with what they were given. Lee Dong Won (Seung Jun) and Shin Myung Sung (Ho Yeon) kept my attention the most.

Otherwise, the storyline in generic, there's nothing new or insightful in the script, the cinematography is decent but unremarkable, and the music is sung well but not interesting enough that I would want to play it on it's own.

It wasn't necessarily a waste of time since it's so short, but I won't re-watch it.
