it had potential and can't deliver
i was so stoked when i heard about the premise and saw some teaser or trailer for the show. i am 5 episodes in at the writing of this review.waste of time. i have started scrubbing through the episodes so the 50 minute ordeal takes maybe 10. after all time is the most precious resource any of us have. why am i even still watching? i wanna be kind and give it a chance. a generous one cause some GL are just cursed and can't find their footing until later. here's the list of problems: wooden acting, no chemistry, no story progression, no cohesion, the mother traumas so far don't add anything but slow things down, the main characters have no compelling motivation. shouldn't halfway through be any love established between the leads?

Episode by episode (no spoilers). By the end, I hope to improve my grade.
>>> The actresses are soooo bad :( . Besides, the story hasn't grabbed me yet. Wan dreaming about Kim doesn't make the LEAST DIFFERENCE IN THE SERIES so far. I hope that you get better.>>> I'm finding the story very silly so far. And this story about the friends who fought is very boring so far, but I'll keep trying to watch it. Not to mention that when they enter the dream, the quality of the series is so bad that it seems to be from 2010. If it were a series from a small studio, which is just starting out, that would be fine, but it's from Idol Factory! Improve this, please! I'm trying hard here.
>>> The story hasn't caught up with me yet. I spent 4 days trying to finish episode 2. It's difficult, but I'll keep trying, as I hope it gets better, as we're still on episode 3. But what they are doing is wrong! They're playing very dirty, in many series it's normal to include "Easter eggs" from other series from the same studio to attract fans' attention, and I really like that, I'm in love when it happens, but the way they're doing it is shameful.
Clearly they are putting in elements from the "GAP" series just to appeal to the fans, they are playing with the fans, it's not possible.
***The fact that ALL the background music is the same as the "GAP" series I even understand, as it's from the same studio so let's say they are "taking advantage" of the songs they already have.
***The fact that the protagonist is a fan of the GAP series is also understandable, because who isn't?
***The fact that they used the "GAP" script in one of Wan's acting training scenes is super understanding too.
But make them sing the "GAP" song? Serious? I was ashamed of them, it was very forced.
In all the episodes there is some element of GAP, but they don't do it in a fun and relaxed way. They do this in an extremely FORCED way. Okay, that's enough! We already understand that you also did GAP, now take advantage of the fact that fans trust you and show that they don't need to depend on GAP to make a series shine, that you are very good at what you do! We want a good story, there's no point in filling it with GAP elements!
