A Shoulder to Cry On

Chodu yaehe mutthae. Why do boy groups use a Bl series to popularize themselves in the recent years? Has this become a rookie power-up button through out K-Pop? Anyways, Omega X fighting :) Being good at vocal and visual is a perk of training still there was considerable amount of sparkle filter. I am not complaining because that's exactly what we are here for. Chuasso, chemi du dikkim du. Since the leads are not here for proving their acting skills, no comment hagaesmida. Overall it was a children friendly watch. Director being a male deprives us of possible romantic elements framed befittingly however they abided by the original work. I wouldn't expect much from a high school coming-of-age drama. Soundtracks didn't impress me.

It started off great, but the ending can't be said the same. At least one more episode is missing between the sixth and seventh ones, which spoils the impression of the conclusion. Otherwise, I can't say anything bad, because enemies to lovers made sense, the chemistry between the actors as well, but they still didn't explain a few little things. I did not really understand, what Tae Hyun ment by his action in the middle of the story, but that may be just me oversign it. The ending could be great, but as I said before, there is one episode mising. Like they did not know what to do next, so they just put the end and thought no one will notice. Well, we clearly did.

I really enjoy this drama. The characthers were charismatic, the direction of some scenes is just beautiful and the main couple have chemistry. It may look like is enemies to lovers, but i felt it more like enemies, to friends, to lovers, because that moments of friendship are beutiful and cannot be ignored. This drama became one of my favourites, even my favourite of all because of how the story is tell and even if the end felt in a rush, I enjoy it. It felt like a hug of youth, conforting like the title. Trutly recomended if you want to watch something in confort, with a little of drama and young love.

At first i just watch this series without any huge expectations at all. Cause there is no kissing scene (of course because they are both in the same group). But after like 4 episodes i start to enjoy the series more and now i become their biggest fans!

Their acting was so good, remembering that this was their first time as an actor. Especially Yechan's acting skill, he is so talented and super duper handsome.

The storyline was good and better than the manhwa. The ost was so good. And the cinematograpy also good.

The bad review for me is the rush in the last part of ep 6 and ep 7. I hope there will be season 2 to explore their love story and character more deep ^^

Brief Impressions: Beautiful, Mesmerising, Cute

Review: When I watched the trailer of this series, I was smitten by the beauty of the lead characters and decided to watch it on priority. And I was not disappointed.

Not only are the characters beautiful, but the cinematography is stunningly beautiful as well. I can probably enjoy watching this series even without the sound and subtitles- just to allow the elegance and freshness of the scenes to sink in.

And just to clarify- even the ambient sounds are pleasing, and enhance the overall experience.

The romantic experience is also quite nice. I love the fact that you can sense how much the lead characters adore each other just through their facial and nonverbal expressions. The development and acceptance of their feelings happens gradually, as they understand and open-up to each other.

One issue that left me dissatisfied was the lack of clarity and conviction in the final confession (one of the characters is half-asleep), and also the fact that it happened after a really really long time, when there was no solid reason for this delay.

Barring this last issue, and some initial rubbish in the name of 'pranks' that made me cringe a bit, I enjoyed watching the series and recommend that you too should go ahead and watch it without any second thoughts.
