A masterpiece, a seemingly cute and bubbly series, but with pretty dark themes

One thing I must say, it's very rare to find a BL with such a special setting - transmigration. This is a pretty rare trope used in BL, and as a huge fan of this setting, I think that they had executed it perfectly in this series. The 'game' setting is well-written, and I love that there are consequences for MH to change the storyline of YW, and not just the typical butterfly effect without any serious consequences that many transmigrators experience.

We see MH as a seemingly kind(ish), up-beat, supportive Sunbae, but what we don't see (and what the series later explores), is what's hidden deep inside his protective barrier. His darker, vulnerable, hidden side. The series had taken an unexpectedly dark turn around halfway through, and I nearly cried at what MH had to go through. YW is such a cute character too, and I nearly got whiplash when he did a 180 in the way he acted towards MH haha.

I had many questions even after the series had ended, question that aren't super important but I wish they had clarified in the series. The last few eps of 7-8 weren't exactly easy to understand, but you will as long as you decide to switch on your brain if you hadn't already (since I usually watch with my brain turned off).

I enjoyed this series a lot, it's a hidden gem in not just KBL, one of the most special and heartwarming series I've watched yet.
