Easy to watch, quick to finish. Happy ending.
I love it.
Realism and Representation: no stereotypes, caricatures, or heteronormativity. Gitae calls Chisoo hyung, not oppa as straight people would think. Both of them are established gay characters. Chisoo got bullied for being a gay orphan and his adoptive father is also homophobic. Conversely, Gitae's sister is completely supportive.
Story: interesting premise, a breath of fresh air for this genre. It has done surprisingly great with blending assassins with a fluffy, cute romance. What I don't find believable is that Chisoo's adoptive father would rather kill Chisoo and lose his best assassin than to accept him as gay. I mean, if he can't accept Chisoo, can't he just keep him at arm's length but still use him against his enemies? Also, why are there no guns? I'm very happy that they have a happy ending. I feel like there is a lot of potential to expand on their story.
Characters: there are only 5 major characters. Chisoo's "father" looks similar in age to Chisoo. Chisoo looks at least 30. Don't tell me "father" adopted him at age 10. To be honest, Gitae's physique really doesn't suggest his expertise in hand to hand combat (he bested Chisoo in melee).
Acting: everyone gave a solid performance, although Chisoo's crying scenes aren't convincing at all. The sex scenes are very sweet and tender. They're both really clumsy with each other the first time they made out it's hilarious. The fights are pretty well choreographed. Chisoo's called the Flying Dagger but never once threw a dagger.
