Could have been better.
I posted this below but wanted to add my review on here as well. Overall, it wasn't my cup of tea and I found myself cringing due to the acting. They almost had it, if only SK can learn the art of utilizing the amount of time and episodes right. Masterpieces can be made even with short episodes.
Anyways here's my honest review:
It started off cute. I liked that they didn't have a childhood connection as well. I don't know why South Korea likes to fast track their BLs. They go from being complete strangers to Lovers and we never see the build up. Everytime I watch their bls(not all but majority), I find myself asking out loud "but when did you start falling in love?". The assumption that we should know when they started falling in love without so much as a hint in their acting is getting old and boring and irritating and just aaghh. The sad thing is, even with short minute episodes they can give us quality plots and acting.
The acting had it's moments, for the life of me I could not take Jihoon seriously during the plane ride panic attack. I am tempted to make a tiktok but sadly my morals and values have convinced me that it's bullying.
The English was cringe, I'm sorry. The longer they kepy talking the more I wished they would go back to speaking hangul.
Also, Eden mentioned that he was traumatized by his drowning incident as a child and would therefore freakout at the sight of large bodies of water. Tell me why his trauma was down played and basically non existent. For someone with water PTSD he sure looked like he was one with the water. Bro was a water Avatar.
Toxic ex boyfriend trope needs to burn die and never resurrect.
Also, maybe there was a mistake with the translations and I am well aware that the way I think and understand things are not the same for all countries. But Eden gave "Im not gay vibes and homophobic vibes", he literally said how can his first love be a man when he literally silent confessed that he was in love with Jihoon. And then proceeds to say he misunderstood him...Mr Sir, what the hell is wrong with you.
A rushed ending is basically standard procedure for SK. I should be used to it but everytime I am surprised and disappointed.
