In all honesty, I rated this BL as high as I did partially because of how satisfying it was to finally be able to watch it after waiting almost a year for its release. Like I really ate every single episode up as soon as it released and left literally no crumbs, like I’d be watching almost every episode twice.

Putting my bias aside though, this show wasn’t as good as it could’ve been. The execution for the character/plot conflicts (especially the final conflict) could’ve been done a lot better. The conflicts in the show were resolved too quickly and it didn’t go as in depth as it should’ve been given it being under the psychological genre. In other words, it’s like only dipping your toes into the pool on a scorching hot summer day. There was so much more that could’ve and should’ve been covered in certain plot points to give a better sense of understanding as well as realism in the characters, however it chose to only scratch the surface of what could’ve been a more interesting and heartfelt story.

The acting wasn’t too bad, I especially liked Ye Chan’s general portrayal of Cho Tae. He did Cho Tae’s nonchalant/playful attitude very well, and he had good comedic timing especially for a rookie. Jae Han’s acting was decent as well, I’m not sure if it’s because he himself felt awkward during some scenes, but regardless it pulled off since Da Yeol’s character is quite an awkward one lol. The acting for majority of the emotional scenes, however, lacked believability. Ye Chan’s acting felt either too calm or too dramatic in a lot of the emotional scenes for it to be realistic, and Jae Han’s timing for his line delivery was too slow in certain scenes to leave a strong impact. His facial expressions as well were too stiff to find the emotions he’s supposed to be portraying to be believable.

The music was a mixed bag, like there were a handful of scenes where they used copyright free music I’ve heard numerous times even outside of television like tell me you had low budget without telling me you had a low budget lmao. Other than that, it wasn’t that bad. I especially liked some of the sound effects used too, it added on to the overall light feel the show had. The cinematography was good for the most part, nothing I haven’t really seen before. I liked the bright, vibrant coloring majority of the scenes had, and the camerawork for certain scenes was pretty creative. The editing was alright (fun fact I learned recently, alright isn’t an actual word in the English dictionary, the more you know yall). I personally hate the kind of slow-mo shots that go frame by frame; I find them very tacky/cringy and unfortunately there was a handful of those kind of slow-mo shots in this bl.

Despite its flaws though, this bl was a really entertaining and enjoyable watch. If you’re looking for something lighthearted with some layers to it, as well as having a good laugh, I’d highly suggest this bl d=(´▽｀)=b
