a fun quick watch

the idea of an entire group playing in a bl together was very intriguing from the get go but makes perfect sense seeing as OnlyOneOf are known for their open support of the LGBTQ+ community

i read the webtoon and watched the drama now and i think they adapted it well considering the time and budget restraints! while some parts might seem rushed (as they so often do in these short bls) i very much prefer that to how drawn out many things were in the original webtoon, especially the hyunbin storyline

this drama has a lot of very typical bl tropes like fake dating, misunderstandings (that luckily get cleared up quickly), jealous exes,... don't go into this expecting a revolutionary masterpiece. but if you just want a quick and sweet romance that's exactly what you'll get!

the two main actors have been playing couples for group related projects for a long time now so their on screen chemistry is really good and according to them there was little to no awkwardness while shooting despite them being in the same group! i think this gave them an advantage for their first real acting job

since the entire group was cast i expected at least some of them to be very bad actors but i think they all did a great job, sure they aren't on a professional actor level (although mill, who plays eden, stood out to me as especially talented) but they were all at least decent and since they're all close in real life they never felt awkward with each other and i was surprised how often i forgot i was watching an idol group act, they really pulled me into the story

all the actors including the group have a certain over the top acting style though since the drama is going for a lighthearted romantic comedy kinda vibe, if you don't like that style of acting you might not be able to enjoy this drama

to sum it up: it's a short and sweet romcom about two idols who fall in love after fake dating, the acting was good considering this is their first real acting job and it is really new and interesting to see an entire group act in a bl! the ost is also really catchy, i kept singing the title song (evergreen) all day after watching the drama!

if you like silly little webdramas you will probably have a good time with this
