I thought about writing a comment, now I write a review. I watched this FINALLY. I have heard a lot about it. People are praising it and say "it's the best BL EVER". First of all, it's good. The cinematography is great, the OST is nice. This isn't a fanservice BL series like we know it from Thailand (and recently from Korea). It's not about pretty boys being cute and having mindless conversations and dramatic love problems. Oh no, I'm wrong, it is EXACTLY about that. No, seriously, the production is on another level and everything feels serious and real and pretty raw. But it is still a rather silly and overly dramatic series. After watching those 7 episodes (they have movie-length) I don't know anything about those two characters. I know that one of them is a good student, the other isn't. That's all. They have no other character traits. I wonder if I'm the only one who noticed this. Until the very end I couldn't get into the characters, but I could get into their "love". Mostly because of the actors being very intense and having a strong bond you can feel throug the screen while watching this series. Still ... the crying! So much crying! I think they did nothing else than cry in the last episode. It was too dramatic. And nothing was explained very well. It seemed like Oh got refused, because he wasn't a girl (they hinted in that direction), but then again, that wasn't true. They somehow made it look like being gay is an issue, and then again it wasn't, when we had a gay love confession in front of many people. Like you couldn't clearly understand what the issue was. Why all the drama? I'm pretty sure others have some thories about it (I have them too), but it was just too much. Still 8/10. This was pretty well made. I also have to add, that PP (the actor of Oh) looks 100% gay. His whole appearance screams GAAAAY, and that's a good thing. It made the series more realistic.
