In-Depth Analysis
This drama had the potential to be a good BL, but because of cliche script and acting, the drama failed to become one.
The relationship between the leads has no spark. You can’t feel their emotion. The plot is sometimes too rushed. Though this is a short drama there is a scope of decent portrayals of each character. The characters do not develop over eight episodes.
Their argument is sometimes too childish. Ji Soo’s character sometimes will annoy the viewers.
Overall Opinion
Overall this drama feels boring. If the viewers want to watch some good BL, then this is not a choice. Still, viewers can give it a try as per their choice, but they should not keep their expectations too high.
