"Holmes has Watson, Woody has Buzz, and Jin Won has Sang Ha."

"Do you know the similarity between a marathon and Love? That once you start, you can't stop?"

This was a wonderful show. It was somehow better than the previous installment of the anthology "Where Your Eyes Linger" and I found myself somehow laughing out loud at their interactions despite how short the show was.

There was chemistry, there was development, there was an actual conversation between the leads that led to a believable romance. There was even a *plot*, which is shockingly hard to find in BL drama lately.

And the weirdest part was that the relationship was *healthy*.
"Love only works when you're on equal footing."

Neither followed the toxic tropes of BL leads seen in so many shows and manga, and they genuinely cared for the other, even when the other was too thick-skulled to listen.

Man, I even loved the antagonists of the series - seriously, those loan sharks had me smiling like crazy at the end. They had their motives and their reasons, but they weren't cruel. And it made perfect sense how it all ended. I truly enjoyed this entire series, to the point I'm debating going outside at 5 am after binge-watching this and doing some running of my own.

This show will always have a fondness in my heart.

"Quit being my pacemaker, and be my rival."

As a note: Watch up to episode 5 before you drop it.
