A little late to the game, but I just finished Season 1 of this series (for those in the U.S., it's available on Netflix). Overall, I'd say this is a good drama, notwithstanding the fact that it deals with themes we see repeatedly in the LGBT genre. Here, we primarily follow high school students Phun and Noh as they work through their sexualities and feelings for one another, a journey that takes up most of Season 1. Both actors portrayed their characters and their struggles well. Although the kiss scene sucked (don't watch this for that), it is through portraying the small, subtle details where these boys shined. Be it the exchange of soft looks, holding one another in private, or reaching for the other's hand during times of confusion and turmoil, these small actions conveyed the passion and yearning that Phun and Noh had for one another. They made the story all the more beautiful and tender.

Regarding other characters, I liked the group of guys that made up Noh's gang, and it was fun to see them interacting with one another. They gave off natural 16-year-old-boy vibes without the immaturity of Make It Right. I also really liked Earn, and hope to see more of him in Season 2. Though not given much screen time, he stood out to me because of his virtue and confidence. When the all-male school hosted cheerleader tryouts, he steadfastly supported the ladyboys and more effeminate students who worked so hard to make the spots. Time and again, he stood up to the more conservative students and culture who pushed back, proving himself to be a good person and ally.

The main female characters leave me feeling mixed. I hated Yuri, Noh's girlfriend, and I groaned every time her whiny voice filled the screen. I didn't mind Aim, Phun's girlfriend; she didn't have many parts and didn't really play the villain, though I'm expecting this to change in Season 2. And sweet Pang, Phun's sister. She is me, right down to the BL addiction and Viewfinder manga.

Aside from Phun and Noh, there are a couple of other non-BL couples that honestly, aren't really worth mentioning. Both couples had potentially interesting story lines, but so little screen time was given to them that their stories felt either rushed or pointless. It's not a deal-breaker, as I didn't really care about either of them, but it left my wondering why there were even included as they didn't really add to the main story at all, nor did they really have any meaningful interaction with the main characters. You could remove their scenes entirely and still have a complete drama.

Going back to the story and plot, again, nothing new to this genre, but it was executed beautifully. It felt very real and raw, different from the lighthearted fluff you see in a lot of other dramas. I thought the pacing was good, and I'm looking forward to what's coming next in Season 2.
