Within the realm of BL I understand the tropes and have seen them all before. Not saying they are bad, I enjoy them a lot actually. But this drama is just refreshing for the drama.

Korea is putting out a lot of BL’s.. a lot that which completely blow past me. I’ve been looking forward to this one since Kissable Lips. And I was right when I said that the leads were good actors and that it was unfortunate they didn’t have the script of budget to back them up. Now that they do- wow- it is good.. maybe amazing… we will see.

I love the approach with the power dynamics between the two leads. They each have their ways to one up each other and that leads to a lot of comedic moments. More than that it’s the charm coming from the actors themselves. Jo Ho Joon could just be your grade A jerk if Kim Ji Wong didn’t play his character with the finesse he does. He balances the line of being a complete arrogant jerk, to self aware and charming in a way. Needless to say I love his character and the over the top way his attitude is shown. He is a brat, a rich guy, he knows he’s hot, and I love it. Can’t really put it into perfect words…. but it is done well enough .. so good that he’s my favorite character for it.

I’m proud of Kim Ji Wong and Yoon Seo Bin for this drama. The budget is higher and they keep up with the script. Their characters are much older than the last ones they played and their characters also have so much more lively things to do and say. That means that the actors are expressive here and we’re truly limited in their last drama. Absolutely no hate to Kissable Lips; that was a dream come true for me to watch- this one is even better than that- it’s a million times better

The story is easy to follow and this show is hilarious. It’s entertaining and I’m glad that Korean BL’s are being treated more respectfully. Hoping for a day that we will see a full length Korean drama that’s a BL. This one feels exactly like a k-drama, it’s not tropey either. If I didn’t know that the two leads were going to get together I might just be pleasantly surprised. It’s fresh, witty, worth your time. One of those dramas I’d feel like someone was missing out on if they didn’t see it.
