worth watching once but uneven

each aspect of the series had good and bad moments. The actress who played Shin Ye Chan's aunt certainly won't be winning a drama award anytime soon. Shin Ye Chan's performance had a lot nuance and depth, and in my opinion is one of the better performances in a Korean BL series thus far. I'm looking forward to his future performances on screen. The overall vibe created by the screenplay, directing, and performances naturally moves toward the lead characters inevitably kissing at some point, and that moment would be a pivotal part of the story. The end result felt like reading a book with a handful of pages torn out -- its omission broke the fourth wall and completely ruined any suspension of disbelief. If a kissing scene needed to be cut, then the screenplay either needed to be rewritten, or produced by a team comfortable including it.
