Semantic Error will put an error in your mind: CAN'T GET ENOUGH.

The good:
1. no gross sexualization of queer relationships
2. it doesn't give Comphet
3. enemies to lovers done right!
4. hot & cold interactions between the MLs, nothing stale
5. the MLs breath life into the characters
6. Jang Jae Young will give you butterflies
7. Chu Sang Woo is the perfect smart, introverted MC
8. struggling with sexuality but no homophobia
9. episodes are short and fast paced, no time to get bored
10. subtle comedy, romance, drama: nothing over the top

The bad:
1. the first kiss not consensual

Overall:
Some of these points may seem like the bare minimum but how often do you see LGBTQ+ stories done right? This was a refreshing watch and I didn't expect it to be this good.

Whoever told me that BL is just fetishization of gay men was criminal for keeping me away from this genre. This is my first BL and it was so addicting that I read the entire manhwa released so far after only watching 3 episodes of the show. HIGHLY recommend.
