Together with me :The next chapter starts off in a pleasant manner but soon things take a 360 degree turn for the worse for all of the characters (except fai)
Coming to the good points
1 The music is fantastic and all the actors have portrayed their respective characters very well (esp Max and Tul :I simply love their chemistry)
2 The struggles of korn and knock (korn struggling to come out to his father who is homophobic and knock's frustration with the whole scenario and his lack of understanding towards it) all of it felt very realistic and different from the usual lovey-dovey bl dramas
3.Farm who wants to take revenge on Bright all of it was very understandable
4.Yihwa's growing attraction to her boss (even though she is in a relationship with cho)
The story line definitely tackled some real life issues in all of the above cases
Now moving on to the infidelity part:
1.In Farm's case the infidelity part did not feel that weird because he was motivated by revenge.
Korn and Yihwa's infidelity was particularly heartbreaking to watch
But the problem is that how cho readily forgave yihwa like after the whole cheating part he simply wanted to get back together again like it isn't a big deal.(that felt really fake atleast to me)
Here she is confused about her feelings (still understandable) but the problem is that there is no real chemistry or anything between Yihwa and cho they look awkward together from the very beginning of the series.
Secondly I felt the cheating part was added to korn and knock's story simply to create more ANGST and DRAMA when they could have focused more on the struggles of coming out if parents are homophobic and knock's lack of understanding in the situation and all that but all of this is ignored.
The makers tried to create a lot of drama which was dragged to the end some of it was absolutely unnecessary
Lastly They did try to tackle some real world issues and there were some exceptional moments like knock's coming out conversation and we also get to see how much korn and knock love each other
The other couples fall flat when compared to them in respect to chemistry
PS: I read many reviews and comments here that 'Knock being a straight guy only made an exception for korn'
This notion is so not true I feel that 'Knock could either be bisexual or pansexual (definitely not straight) '
