Yinwar, I’m a fan ❤️
For such a short series I can say the impact this series gave me is big. It’s been awhile since I cry watching a BL and boy I cried a lot ! The simplicity actually what makes this series so relatable, no over the top drama that sometimes can make me go “what??”. If we ever experienced crush during high school, I bet you can relate to Best. Definitely worth the time. For a 3 episode series, you will be satisfied ??I really really like the acting, like when Best got shy, we all got shy. When he cried, we cried with him. War is always an amazing actor, but he proves me again why he should be one of the best actors out there! Yin also improved a lot ! The way he expressed his feelings through his eyes nailed it ! Not to mention how hot he is ???. Everyone acted so well even the extras !
The cinematography and the scores in here UGHHH chef kiss ! It was shot mostly in school, but why their school looks so dreamy? The lighting, the coloring?? It’s like a movie! And don’t get me started with the scores! Amazing how they can picked songs that fit so well with every scenes, the scores actually one of the reason why I cried so much, it just tugs to your heartstrings.
Overall I enjoyed this series so much, what an experience. Can’t wait for yinwar's next project! I’m a fan definitely ?

Really really hoping Korea will invest more on BL !!!
Where to start? Let me first explain my background on BL, I just started watching BL in mid 2020 bcs of the hype on 2gether the series which I loved so much. I always prefer easy going storyline, jealousy kinda type of angst and fluffy ending after a long push and pull from the main leads. That’s always my cup of tea of fanfics. With South Korea being one of the most non LGBT+ Culture, I kinda skeptical on how this BL going to be, will the story be good, how about chemistry? (Which is my no.1 main aspect in everything I watch), will My time be worth it? And guess what?? Korean dramas never disappoint !!! This is so good ! I even love it more than 2gether! The chemistry was insane, I got goosebumps. The storyline is simple but heart aching, the budget pretty typical web drama so no complaints, AND THE ACTING !!! Goshhh kudos! It surprised me so much that even after several days after watching this series I still can’t get it out my mind. I really like the small habit of Taejoo, and that scene where they laid in bed and Taejoo asking for a hug but Gook refused at first but after Taejoo said he was sad, Gook just couldn’t refused him anymore and hugged him so tenderly (???). And the part where Gook shampooing Taejoo also very intimate in PG13 way ahhhhhhh and so so many more! The jealous looks from Taejoo, their pinning/fighting in a gym or something ughhh feels !!! Overall I really really recommend this to anyone who wants to see and feel what love is. My only complaint is that this is too short, I’m addicted so I want more, but sadly again, this is not Thailand’s BL, this is SK’s BL so I bet on my life there won’t be s2 ?Was this review helpful to you?
Started this for yinwar and ended this for yinwar
PRO: DEFINITELY the acting and chemistry. Yinwar has one of the most or not the best natural chemistry out there. Uknow how sometimes BL couples do the extreme skinships/moments off screen just so that people Believe they’re in love on screen? With Yinwar, they don’t have to do all of that, the chemistry just felt so natural that I often watched some cute scenes over and over again just to see whether it’s the characters VeeMark or isit just yinwar. It’s just that natural, like not acting and it’s scary ?. War always known for his great acting so I always know he’ll be good, he is more than good, he is great. But What surprised me is Yin. Yin improved by leaps, he wasnt jumping or running, he’s flying to the top. He made the flawed character so alive, relatable and loved. Super proud of him ! They deserve more opportunities in other series, I want romcom for them, they’re natural comedians with natural chemistry. Please make it happen ??PRO: I loves all the soundtracks, especially Mist (The only rock song in here). The cute orchestra music of Aon Mae Geng (yinwar’s song) sometimes reminds me of Bridgeton’s soundtrack and I love it.
CON: PLOT. For me, up till ep3, I love it, nothing to complain about (even better after watching the Director’s cut). But ep4 starts going downhill. I don’t know why the writer pushed the character Ploy so much, as if shes a main character, as if her story, her reason to cheat, her troubled relationship with other man is important, like? No…I don’t want to see that, why we have to see that? Shes definitely the most irritating girl character I ever seen, so shameless. The writer really hated her, or love her so much idk, thats why they decided to put so much of her in the story. Some of the plot is predictable, and too dramatic sometimes. The writer also hate veemark being happy I guess, emphasizing so much on them in pain rather than the happy time that usually cut short. I know this is an angst genre, but still…do u have to be that cruel?? Well, it’s preference after all, for me thanks to this, I realized I can’t with angst, too painful. And because of that, I can’t fully enjoy the plot as I was hoping for. It’s not a bad plot, it’s just decent. It has so much potential to be much better.
In conclusion, whether i will rewatch, I will deff say I will, but only for the cute veemark’s parts, not the whole thing. Will I recommend people to watch? Yeah I will, but with disclaimer. Only watch if you want to be in pain and u don’t mind messiness.

One word in Thai FIN !!!!
If you think the chemistry was superb in season 1, you will be blown away by the chemistry in these special episodes. I genuinely wonder why they have such great chemistry??????? BrightWin are natural actors, I salute them so much! The other actors also improved a lot!The story on these episodes also clearer than s1, many twists that made me screaming bcs too sweet or like OMGGGGG. Each episode is special with sweet ending.
You will be totally satisfied with these special episodes. The perfect score is what I’m giving here. Totally will watch all over again !

My first ever BL and got me hooked !
No need to expect Oscar worthy storyline and acting, you just need a light romcom that can make you warm and fuzzy, that’s all.The story itself is easy to follow and still make me wonder what will happen next. That’s enough for me to got me hooked.
The acting could be better but this is BL what do u expect? What’s important for me is the chemistry, and boy oh boy, both Bright and Win deliver such great chemistry no doubt!
The music IS PERFECT !!! I really like the soundtracks and how they put music in each scene. Scrubb has many great songs.
Overall, I’ve been watching rerun for quite sometime now, waiting for the special episodes. Each sweet moments in this series just make me wanting for more ❤️
