This is very good for a Kbl

So I’ve actually read the webtoon and watched the drama. Let me start off by saying the drama is basically a PG version of the webtoon which is 18+. The drama just completely blows me away. I’m so impressed with how good it is. Because it’s a Kbl my expectations were to say not very high. However my expectations were blown out of the water. I love all the characters and the cast. They all looked pretty comfortable with each other. The story in the drama though is a bit confusing for me. I wondered when certain things would get explained when they just ended up not getting talked about. Also the side couple felt way rushed and very poorly explained. The webtoon does a better job explaining as I feel like the drama skimmed over it and just barely scraped the surface of that relationship. The main couple is so cute. They’re adorable and I’m very impressed with their acting. I think the actors did a very good job with the characters. They both fit the webtoon very nicely. When I first watched Unintentional love story I kept rewatching it because it was so good. It’s like super untoxic. Nothing bad really happens. (Well side couple different story). If I could change something it’s that the webtoon is actually very good at talking about homosexuality and how Wonyoung found out he’s gay. It’s a a whole process because originally Wonyoung only dated girls. I know it’s a Kbl but I would’ve loved to see that added in.

This by far exceeded any of my expectations. In a way it reminded me of Roommates of Poongduck 304. The drama and the webtoon differ by quite a lot but I love them both very much. I also think the kiss scenes weren’t that bad compared to other bls I’ve watched. At least it was pretty believable. It’s important to remember that the actors themselves may or may not be gay and I think it’s both the main actors first BL drama to do so they probably were in fact uncomfortable a bit to be kissing someone of the same gender on camera.

(Keep reading for spoilers in webtoon. Otherwise skip)



Now… to talk about the webtoon for those curious. Basically, Taejoon and his dad don’t get along. Like absolutely zero. It was believed the father took pics of Taejoon and Choi Inho(the ex) and threatened to send pics of them together as a couple to Inho’s work and family. So they broke it off but in actuality Inho didn’t want to be in the relationship anyways and begged the dad to get out of it and to be super rich and famous. In the webtoon, TaeJoon and Wonyoung are very um… active to say the least. They’re like always doing it. Taejoon builds a studio in Seoul to live with Wonyoung. However, Hotae and DongHee kind of slept together, when DongHee got drunk. After that, he kind of disappeared, but was later found in the end they both got together, and that is a summary of what happened. But TaeJoon and Wonyoung do get engaged. Like rings and everything. It’s actually pretty cute.
