STORY: Although it wasn't much difference in telling a story about two teenage boys, who are childhood friends, discovering their sexuality and feelings for each other, it did when it comes to BL's in Korea. This was a huge step in the right direction for Korea hopefully we get more stories like this one soon. Also eventhough it's not really different to many other stories in this genre the story line still felt deep to me. The characters grow & change in those short 10 mins/8 episodes. Both of them become stronger and more confident in themselves. Gook stops being afraid of his feelings when he faces down Tae Joo's father all out of love for TJ. Tae Joo becomes more serious & selfless when he is honest about his feelings to his father and basically gives up both his freedom and Gook in order to keep Gook safe. Seriously WYEL evokes so much from the viewer no matter how short and fast paced it was. I actually liked that because the story never dragged & kept me glued to my computer screen. Oh and that ending????? *squeals!* I didn't expect to get a HEA I'm so glad we did.
I rated this section 9.5 because although yes, I've seen this plot many, many times in BL's before it still evoked so much in me.

ACTING/CAST: I had never seen any of these actors before but they all did an excellent job with their characters. All of them were perfectly cast. Especially the leads, wow were they good. I really felt like I wasn't watching two actors but the real characters. Their emotions felt so real. 10/10 all around!

MUSIC: The music choices really made the scenes come to life. I think I found my new OST. 10/10

REWATCH VALUE: 10/10 I'm already watching it over again lol.

OVERALL: 10/10- Thanks to everyone who decided to make this show not only storywise but acting wise too and what hopefully it will mean for Korea in the future.
