this hurts to write bc i wish i liked it more

aspects i enjoyed:
- i think jaeyoung is f*cking sexy like MY BAD i want him
- chemistry between characters is good
- acting
- intimacy (somebody throw me off a building)
- JAEYOUNG AND HIS BISEXUAL TRIFECTA FRIEND GROUP
- the maybe two songs that played throughout the entire show
- jaeyoung and sangwoo's back and forthness made me want to keep watching
- relability of the characters; sangwoo is insecure like me and i think he can be funny without meaning to be ("he looks like a total bum" *screenshots jaeyoung's instagram). i felt this way sometimes w jaeyoung too but i mostly enjoyed sangwoo's realness
- episode 7 *jumps into lava*

aspects i did not enjoy
- literally the entire premise of this show at least for the first five eps. are yal seeing this? shy sangwoo was like ur a freeloader nobody likes u im starting an organization against u so u dont graduate and sexy jaeyoung was just like aw ur cute im going to start following u around and buy every single bottle of ur fav drink <3 and then when sangwoo started to hate all of this jaeyoung was just like okay fine since u hate me so bad i'll just distance myself and see how YOU like it. I THINK I WOULD LIKE IT CONSIDERING YOURE SEXY BUT YOU'RE BORDERLINE HAZING ME? idk i'm usually an enemies to lovers enjoyer...
- jumps between episodes sometimes if they didn't pick up immediately where things were left off
- as i mentioned for the 8 show, i think there were definitely issues w adapting this from a webtoon which is inevitable
- jihye like i'm sorry girl but what was that confession scene why would you do that at all or idk that couldve been executed better
- it's just confusing bc sometimes sangwoo could be so cruel (if someone told me to "control my urges" after kissing me????) and jaeyoung can be just irrational so idk like i said in ep7-8 they had really great chemistry and i think it's very cute that they worked on things together but it overall made the watching experience not as great when their relationship wasn't as linear as i thought it'd be
- kind of typical kdrama narratives but i don't think i have enough knowledge of bl to rank this in that universe

i won't be recommending this to people but if you don't take it as seriously as i did maybe it'd be more fun to watch
