While it's not the best Korean BL out there, it's also not the worst

Another series has been completed. And while it wasn't what I was expecting, I can say that I liked it to a degree. It started off drawing in my attention, getting a little muddled in the middle and, personally to me, ended on an okay note.

Could it have been better? Most definitely. But I must say, the ending isn't really predictable (a HEA) and I guess that's why I like it.

Pros (with some spoilers):
♡ The acting of the MC was good in all of the episodes as they were able to carry me on an emotional journey.

♡ Learning about the past lives of Min Yu Dam and Seol Dong Baek gave us an understanding on why the director was doing what he was doing.

♡ The ending also went a different direction that I thought it would as now Seol Dong Baek is the one who knows about the past life when he didn't previously. And now it is him who willingly wants to date the director and not leaving it up to destiny.

Cons (with spoilers):
♡ Character development or in this case the lack of it

♡ What was the purpose of Dennis character? Cause he had some serious issues that needed to be resolved and he needed professionally help for those issues.

♡ And what does Dennis mean tha Min Yu Dam uses people? Was...was he and Dennis an item previously? Or he felt that Min Yu Dam used him professionally and was now getting ready to replace him with a new act?

♡ In the early part of the series, something possessed Seol Dong Baek. What the heck was it, because that wasn't explained properly.

At the end, I give this series a 7.5. It had potential. It just was ot able to met it.
