Nothing really stood out
The whole thing was very mediocre. I don’t think there was anything super outstanding about it, except maybe their dancing and singing, but we didn’t really get that many such scenes. There also wasn’t anything so horrible that it would make it unwatchable.
I guess its biggest selling point was the fact that we are talking about a BL done by a k-pop group. As someone who doesn’t follow OnlyOneOf that doesn’t mean much to me. However, I know what a big step this is, especially considering how very little talk there is about LGBTQ+ community in k-pop (except for a few artists). I know this is also not due to the artists, but due to other factors.
One of the major downfalls was the length of the drama. When dramas are this short, it’s very hard to get a consistent, plot-holes free and logical plot done well. A lot of things were rushed, the cuts between the scenes were weird, the timeline of the story crashed, the characters weren’t properly developed. We also missed a lot of background information and were left without actual conclusions on many occasions.
Gong Ji Hoon & Kang Eden: I feel like I don’t really know what happened with them. Neither of them was good at communication, what a shocker, which lead to very typical plot twists. Ji Hoon did appear to be colder and more reserved, but also very caring. Eden was naïve and a bit friendlier, but still quite reserved. It showed that the two actors are comfortable with each other, but there wasn’t much chemistry between them. I think the acting was quite weak. Actually, that’s true for pretty much everyone in this drama. A lot of the time the emotions didn’t really translate well through the screen and the scenes felt quite awkward at times.
The side characters were a mess. Very little things got resolved or explained. Which is probably due to the shortness of the drama. A lot of it also felt unrealistic or just not needed.
