A Classic Kdrama, with a BL Spin
In the beginning, it was quite rough. Ji Ho Joon was up on a high horse that he refused to come down from. Which isn't exactly uncommon for this sort of premise. But I would have appreciated a touch more human-ness in the beginning - especially after hearing his backstory in the finale. I think that some of his actions just didn't match who the character was supposed to be. And then we were expected to forget about it - which, granted, we mostly did.
I also thought the drama was going to introduce a certain trope for a while there. And perhaps they would have, if the drama had been longer. Thankfully, the story stayed true to itself and didn't overcomplicate matters. The pacing turned out quite great and felt natural to the situations that the characters were in. And the characters were consistent. The actors had good chemistry, even if I wasn't always sold on their individual performances.
It very much felt like a classic kdrama, with a BL spin. Nothing groundbreaking or new, but it made for an enjoyable watch.
