When I watched the first two episodes I was very pleasantly surprised (not that I expected less from director Hwang Daseul who brought us great short series like Blueming, to my star and where your eyes linger) but this drama is different it's really giving kdrama vibes for me similar to how love for love's sake felt like a kdrama from the 2015 era.

And the longer episodes definitely helped achieve this effect but also ofc the production, good acting and interesting plot came all to impress. In simple words it's a heartwrenching story about two taekwondo boys both from problematic households to say the least who grow fond of each other and take care of each other in their own ways. But of course it's not always rainbows and butterflies in life especially with an abusive dad and homophobia. So there is a conflict and darker themes like abuse and bullying which play a big role in the series.

For me the first two episodes of a drama are very important because they give you a thought of how the drama is going to progress. This drama's pace is definitely very enjoyable not too slow and not too fast. What makes the drama even more likeable are the characters contrasting personalities the golden retriever x black cat combo eats as always and so does the from strangers to friends to lovers trope.

I definitely recommend you to check this out if you need a feel good series with some angst.
