I do think this series lives up to the hype. Although a lot of it is cliche, it doesn’t spoil the show. Like others have pointed out, the couple sell the show. Their characters complement each other almost to a tee. Their chemistry works and the acting is good. It’s light and funny where it needs to be and angsty and serious when it calls for it. A very enjoyable watch for me. Like most KBLs, the production is high quality. The visuals are polished and edited to a high degree. It’s definitely one of the better BLs.
