Korea takes the BL industry by storm and they create such masterpieces. Even before Bl,Korea was good at adapting webtoons/manhwas, and now that they took on the Yaoi also, the success is roaring. This series is one of the examples. The actors,not only MLs - everyone, did such a great job in telling the story and their overall chemistry is top! I was a little disappointed at first with their kisses but i honestly think it's because i know the manhwa and i raised my expectations based on it, when it's not the best thing to do. The adaptation is just a story follower, not a manhwa coming to life. Afterwards i completely ignored that and i could enjoy the series as one should, because it's one of the top BLs - and in the last ep i got my reward, an improvement-that's all i'm saying :) I usually think about smt per ensemble and when it comes to different aspects of a show,i don't like to put the blame on just a particular set of people. So, if the kisses were lacking,that doesnt mean that it's necessarily the actors fault. I do not care,because as long as there's the chemistry, other signs of affection and the needed tension i can pass it trough and enjoy the series. I would be very disappointed with myself if i would resume my entertainment level to just some kisses. I am watching for the story, not to get hot and bothered :)))) If it does happen though, i won't complain. Double standards,i know :))) let's move on....
You can see the actors are comfortable with eachother and they work well together. It had funny bits here and there without making it cringe. This is one thing i love about K-Dramas, the humour that is a given,they are naturally funny so it doesn't feel forced at all and no matter the plot, the funny bits flow natural. Gongchan's smile lights up a room and Seo Won's manner and gaze makes you feel all the emotions. The second leads are just simply a treat and seeing how the things didn't conclude in a way or another for them,i really do hope that the directors are thinking about making a series about them, maybe with small peeks into WY and TJ life. Wishful thinking :P
The OST was perfect also! I had my share of series where the music felt so out of place or it was too loud or at the wrong moment and it ruined a good story.
Being an adult, i will always be a sucker for mature stories, i relate better to them. That doesn't mean i don't enjoy a highschool /university story, but an adult environment hits different for me, hence why my top Bl series are mostly on that trope.
That being said, I hope everyone who read this will or already enjoyed this series as much as the rest of us who are raving about it :P
On to the next masterpiece SK! Fighting!
