Well, that was underwhelming
This was truly some Wattpad story turned into a low-end BL. The premise itself was actually very good. A BL story set in the Choson era but the end result left me disappointed and wanting. Okay, it doesn't help that I am currently also watching "Word of Honor", so I couldn't help but compare. The "love story" felt mostly just awkward and stiff and the two main leads had no chemistry at all in the beginning, though it improved slightly in the later episodes but only slightly. The story itself got bogged down by unimportant side stories, the dialogues were also not great. All of this is a real problem when each episode is only some 12 minutes long. On the whole, I really felt like watching some really mediocre Wattpad story (not comparing this to AO3 - there are a lot of stories on AO3, which are a ton better than what we see on screen). I am not the biggest fan of Korean BL. So far, absolutely nothing has been able to wow me at all and this new offering won't help me change my mind that there is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to Korean BL.
