I tried watching it, stopped. Read reviews that told me to power through the first few episodes because the pay off is so good, so I got back on the horse and powered through the beginning. I finished the drama and was completely let down. Episode 1 was as confusing as can be, even for the " let's figure it out together" approach from the director. It was so confusing that I really had no interest from the start. Second, the GC for the first episode was horrible. It was like the producer was trying to make people not like the show from the beginning.

While the pace, story, and GC does pickup and improve as the series progresses, the pay off is just not there. Starting from present day in Episode 1, really ruined a lot of the surprises of the story. I would even recommend not watching episode 1. Episodes 2-10 were meh. I will admit that the series does pick up tremendously from 11-about 35, with an apex that was really satisfying, worthy of a concluding episode. But then the roller coaster takes you down again for the last 15 or so episodes. Really the resolution of the story was laborious, obvious, and basically a let down. With mysteries like these, you want to be surprised a bit, but guessing the mastermind was pretty obvious and the reveal was less than satisfying, in fact rather draggy and painful.

I walked into the drama knowing it was a boy love film that was toned down. I actually didn't like the chemistry between the leads and I actually felt a bit uncomfortable watching some of their interactions. It wasn't a bromance, nor was it a love story... just weird suggestions that missed both marks.
