The duration makes this drama questionable

First of all, I am not gonna lie I watched this drama because of Taekwoon. But here, I wrote the review as a casual viewer, and is going to be as objective as I could be.

This drama really starts with confusing synopsis that gives hints about Jung woo's lover. At first, I thought he would be with Tae Young but the synopsis and the trailer tried to convince me that Jung Hyun is the end game. As a viewer, this confuses me as hell but I guess a good way to ignite the viewers' curiosity.

The thing I always hate about Korean BL dramas is the duration. This drama proved it. From the first until 3 episodes, I had a lot of questions and was literally lost in the storyline. How came Jung woo revealed his senior's scandal? How came Jung Woo and Jung Hyun ended up together even at the point they lived together? I had to figure out by myself the storyline. This is why I hate the Korean BL dramas' duration.

Regardless of its duration, this drama still delivered a good story as the episode progressed. Jung Hyun is literally a walking and living red flag. He is a gas-lighter and manipulative when it comes to Jung Woo. But I realize It was solely his obsession with Jung Woo that turned him to be like that. On the other side, Tae Young was totally sunshine. I freaking love whenever he smiles. His positive attitude evoked Jung Woo's spirit to write again. His character also made Jung Woo realize that hiding forever is not the best answer for him.

And I have to say that all the cast really acted well. None of them acted awkwardly. Standing applause for that.

The ending is still too ambiguous for me. Even though Jung Woo decides to be Tae Young, the damn gaze he exchanges with Jung Hyun on the rooftop is giving a big question for me. They standing on the rooftop with Jung Woo in the middle makes me wonder whether the love rival still continues or not.

Either way, you may give it a shoot if you want to watch a Korean BL drama that explores literature and people on the back with a sprinkle of boys' loves ofc.
