my opinion on the series (written at 2am)

overall it was nice even though it has a lot of room for improvement.

first of all i will rightfully be side eyeing everyone who's calling this a bromance and different weird stuff just because there wasn't a kiss scene like, just because it has romance and because it's a bl series doesn't mean it has to include a kiss for it to be properly done (this goes to all of you being mad esp on twt because it doesn't have a kiss like bffr).

imo it's a short but sweet series and it touches on some more serious topics such as sh, childhood trauma, lack of emotional support etc.. and I've seen people complaining on how the series started after completely ignoring the psychological tag. taehyun has sustained psychological damage and trauma as a child and it followed him through the teenage years which is definitely to be taken into consideration as we can see he has trouble expressing himself because of what had happened with his parents and aunt.

i specifically like this drama also because it shows that you do not need kissing and cuddling scenes for it to be romantic. their relationship is understandable when you look at how they started off and when you take into consideration their personalities and other stuff. it's a slow developing relationship built on trying to understand each other, giving each other space until both of them are completely comfortable and sure of what they want, you can't just expect them to completely be all over each other in a span of a week.

the drama did follow the manhwa up until some point and yes the ending was way different with the ep7 but to me it was a great ending. it might be confusing because of time skips but it's good to end it on a sweet ending, because even though it feels like it lacks something (with it going too fast with so many time skips which confused the viewers), we're assured that both characters are on good terms/in a relationship.

good job to both yechan and jaehan <3
