Good Series but a Bit too Long

This was a pretty good Korean BL. The acting wasn't as stiff as in some Korean BL, except for the intimate scenes. Except for the balcony scene, the intimate scenes were a little stiff and uncomfortable. Usually it could be overlooked, but this couple is bold enough to hold hands at their homophobic all boys school, so I would have expected less awkwardness with the kissing.

I usually hate love triangles, but this worked because the person who isn't chosen needs to work on himself, so that when the right person comes, he won't hesitate again.

I really liked the lead character in this series. He is strange, but his charm is, he speaks what he believes. Also, he had feelings for Daon, but like most high school kids, he got over it fast and moved on to Shin Woo. I like that this was shown as many high school romances seems to be less realistic. Although he and Shin Woo stayed together after high school, he rebounded fast from Daon.

I thought this series was too long and it could have been done in 12 episodes. To be honest, I skipped Ep 15 and fast forwarded through much of Ep 13-14 because it those episodes where of Daon hiding from Tae Geong, and the TG x SW falling in love. Since TG and SW didn't really have that as much chemistry (to me) as TG and Daon, I found it a little boring. Still TG picked the right person, I just think the actors did not have the connection that the TG and Daon actors have.
