I was really looking forwards to this show. I was a fan of Gichan on pdx101, and I'm always excited to see queer characters in korean dramas (especially main characters). This did NOT live up to the hype.
I wouldn't watch it again and Im not gonna go tell all my friends to watch it, but i don't feel like it was a waste of time. It was still entertaining. It just could've been A LOT better. If it was longer and perhaps had a bigger budget maybe, then it could've been really good.
They did their best with the acting considering the script and characters. It was a few people's first acting jobs, but they did pretty good! The sparring / fight scenes were done well.
The writing was not my favourite. The characters were all quite flat (except for the friend who snitches on them, but even he had little depth). Gichan's character was extremely irritating until he confesses. It's a VERY generic angsty overused plot about a gay couple getting torn apart and disowned blah blah blah the story has been done a billion times already. Like couldn't they have added a 5 minute scene at the end or something with them being happy together rather than just ending with a kiss?
The ending was pretty abrupt and it felt like it should have been the middle of the show instead of the ending. Like that's it? There's nothing after that? I was so sure there was gonna be another episode or two after but nope! So that was disappointing as well.
The soundtrack was good at least?
