Still can't believe this is a History series..

Let's start with the positives. The second couple is amazing, the chemistry is hot, the storyline between them is good, and I am absolutely living for it!

Now, onto the main couple. We've got a time-travel story here, and we all know time-travel storylines are like complicated recipes. If you're gonna make it, make it right! Unfortunately, they didn't do that. The time-travel element in this series is not only confusing but doesn't really add any significance to the show. And let's talk about Dai-Johnny. Dude comes off annoying, childish, and worse, a terrible kisser. I mean, if you're gonna go back in time, at least learn some kissing skills before you do.
Plus, Considering this is a History show, I don't think he should have played this role, because dude acts like he isn't up for this gay ish. Come on, man, show some enthusiasm. And what's up with the lack of skinship? It's been 20 episodes, people! Get it together!

And speaking of things that don't make sense, how did they end up going from living in a storage unit to working for Hai-yi's dad's company, when the whole point was Hai-yi running away from home and not wanting to work with his dad? A lot of details are missing in this series. It's a little confusing, and I have so many questions

Overall, I am quite dissappointed considering how History 1 chemistry even has more spark than this. But hey, at least it's not boring. So i'mma hang in there. Who knows, maybe things will heat up in the next episode... or not."

A HUGE MESS

Tbh, the overall rating of this show shouldn't be more than 2.5/3. And whoever directed this show should never attempt directing again.

I wouldn't say the story is that bad, but the way it was executed was TERRIBLE. 85% of the whole series is the guy camping and they staring at each other through the house. No deep background story or anything... they spend 6 episodes fighting, then all of a sudden, within 5mins they already hooking up. And to top it all, the chemistry and acting was MEHH..
Then the kiss came.. not only was it BAAD, it looked photoshopped. I just don't get it, why act in a BL series if you not comfy enough to kiss a guy?
Overall: story - average, plot - poor, acting - poor, kiss - poor, chemistry - poor.
At this point, I think I'll just give up on Korean BL series. They started off good even though we hardly got good kiss scene, but now, they not even putting any effort
