It was good...until it wasn't

I am amazed by some of the high ratings tbh, and also a little angry at some of the wording used. Here me out - I loved it too in the beginning, the build-up was beautiful, the story captivating, the actors did well....but that last episode? Sorry, did you watch a different drama to give it a 10? I don't mean any disrespect, each their own, but that ending was confusing and uncomfortable to watch.

And I am not talking about the no-kissing-part. Listen, to all those talking sh*t and something about "hot-flashed girls with an erotic addiction"...seriously? I am a 30-year old woman in happy relationship. If I wanted to get some fire, I'd talk to my girlfriend. But you just don't build-up a story of two young boys with a lot of unresolved trauma trying to find their place in life and apparently falling in love for 6 episodes, to just completely ambush it in the last one! I have rarely seen a drama that hurt so much while watching, didn't know if I should cry or laugh or scream or just cringe, but that last episode was not enjoyable. What makes me more angry is that now it seems like the 6 episodes before where just fake and I as a viewer am delusional for thinking they could be a couple. Yeah, why would you go on a trip together after 2 years of being in a relationship? No, of course, I get it, the thought of spending time together as a couple really is that disgusting. Honestly, who writes stuff like that - and why??

I do not care if there is no kissing or any other form of physical touch, but what I need is pure emotions and a whole bunch of feelings. And that series was able to destroy all these honest feelings in one episode. Please do better....if The Eighth Sense ends in a similar way, I'll give up, I swear 😅 So far so good though :)

This IS the best Korean BL!

...here I am crying after episode 8, because this series is over. Easy, natural and purely romantic - probably describes this story best. The chemistry between the main leads alone deserves a 10/10 and is the reason why this for me is the best Korean BL I have ever seen. The acting of Lee Seung Gyu in the last two episodes gave me chills. But the whole cast is just so wholesome.

Also, can we acknowledge the storytelling? Finally, a BL without any toxic, unnecessary sidekicks. Finally, we have a couple who talks about their fears and shows vulnerabilty! Finally, a story about two people who needed to find their own truth, what works for them...and then found and supported each other.

And THANK YOU for giving us realistic, soft and heartwarming kisses in a Korean BL. Nothing compares to the emotions that these two main leads portray through their touches.

So please PLEASE bless us with a season 2 to enjoy their relationship journey! Also I'd love to get to know the supporting cast better. The work colleagues were all so lovable - and we need to know what their high school friends are thinking, right? They all seem so nice. I am in love 💜
