Okay I didn't have much of expectation from it because I thought Korean BL always lacks in time management they don't have much time that's why they are called Web Drama so I never thought they will be better than Thai BL but this one got me hooked when I found out that this will have 16 episodes and I thought the runtime will be 15 minutes per episodes but this show have more runtime then BeLoved In House I do.
Story
So let's talk about the story I usually hates Love Triangles because in every K Drama I had seen that but never in Korean BL, so I was excited and the show starts with a confusing term whose Tae Kyung first love is but I figure it out on the first episode but people were confused till the last episode whom Tae Kyung will choose in the end so the fan war begins of Team Shin Woo and Team Da On but slowly the amount of Team Shin Woo became, in the end, people were ready to fight if Shin and Tae didn't end up together. But Team ShinWoo won, in the end, the story follows Tae Kyung a silent guy who never has friends now wanted to have some friends so his teacher helps him and advised him to join Student Council to mix up with the good kids, and Tae meets his love interest Da On and Shin Woo. At first, both Shin Woo and Tae Kyung hate each other a lot and on the other hand, Da On and Tae Kyung seems to be on the same track and starts to become close, then we got our rivals to lover trope began I didn't have much of expectation that this show will showcase any LGBT message but man I was wrong even though it didn't use the word "GAY" or "I LIKE MEN" but it did convey the LGBT message like we get one character like Da On who still figuring out who is. We get Shin Woo who had been bullied in the past just because he liked a boy and Tae Kyung whose fun was made in the school just becaus he liked a guy, even though in the show none of the characters said "I am gay" but they showed a reality that exists and that lots of BL tried to avoid it and still in Thai BL it tries to avoid that reality but Light On Me a KOREAN BL showed that reality and yeah the fact its a slow-paced Drama that usually hates Light On Me didn't make me bored like BeLoved In House did because the story is amazing and each character got character development
Acting
Tae Kyung, his actor Lee See Yeon is an Idol so I didn't have much expectation from him, but he did a pretty good job to portrait a complex character like Tae Kyung even though sometimes the way he talks makes me kinda bored but that crying scene was really good and he is a good actor he just needs a little bit of polishing but he did a commendable job
Shin Woo, his actor Kang Yoo Soek I didn't much about him so I didn't have any hopes, in the beginning, it kinda reminded me of Phu from Oxygen The Series but his character, in the beginning, you will hate but you will fall harder for his innocence, in the end, everyone wants Noh Shin Woo in their life who will love you and will try to make you happy even though it hurts himself Kang Yoo Soek did an incredible job to portrait Shin-woo and the character development he got that he has to come out of his shelter to help Tae Kyung,
Da On, his actor Choe Chan Yi he is also an idol and former member of BLK, so the character whom everyone has lote to hate relationship, in the beginning, everyone loved Da On for his innocence and though he is the best man when he rejected Tae Kyung due to pressure of society and even hides his feelings for Tae Kyung himself but then he finally realizes why he cared about others opnions if they are hurting his own feelings and most importantly hurting his loved one but till he realise it was already late Tae Kyung already started to develop his feelings for Shin Woo, in the end, he might have lost Tae Kyung but he improved himself I kinda seen myself in Da On who can't say no to others easily due to fears of what will other will think of me but in the end, he accepted himself and learned to say that saying NO is sometimes a good thing so has the best character development in the show. So Chan YI did an awesome job to portrait his charcater
Nam Goong, his Kim Woo Jim he is also an idol and former member of BLK, THE BEST CHARACTER in the show he is funny and now how to stan for his friends and I want a friend like him and the character who seems like a clown but they have the smartest brain and don't take decision quickly, KIM WOO JIN is a great actor I think comedy is the hardest in acting genre because it should be realistic then only the audience will laugh so my favorite character
So Hee, her actress Yang Seo Hyun, at first I thought she is going to act like the cupid of Shin and Tae but ended turned like every other Thai BL girl who is jealous Bitch and will do anything to get what she wants but she kinda got a slow but story arc and a good character development I am just glad she didn't end up wit Da On because she seems creepy but I am glad she started to like Nam Goong and Nam Goong started to like her in the end
Music I love both of the OST ACE sang an Amazing and both SPARK AND FEVER are in my playlist and production value OMG amazing and cinematography chef kiss like I loved everything about the show in terms of that
OVERALL
One of my all-time favorite BL dramas MUST WATCH I need season 2 please I need more Shin and Tae moments and Da On needs to get a guy for himself and Nam Goong and So Hee needs to be a couple and seems like EP 16 ending giving us a hint for season 2. Manifesting it
