SO close
This show was SO close to being a hidden gem among the short BL format, but that ending....
The overall story was nice, the chemistry was amazing and the actors were good. But the "someone is going abroad for some time" is such a bad plot device, specially in a short show like this one. I understand the need to drive the couple apart as a way of making them prove how strong their love is. But, it's the 21st century, how can people stay 3 years without having any form of contact?!
It's impossible that Tae Joo's father could prevent all forms of communications (text messages, emails, phone calls, video calls...) for years. The last episode felt extremely rushed, and wastes a large portion of the time with the restaurant scene, which literally adds nothing to the series. The lake scene is sweet and has a nice callback to the promise between them. Overall the show is strong, but they really dropped the ball at the end. Maybe 1 extra episode could have helped.
