I've now seen a few BL dramas and I must say it has been quite eye opening. I started watching K-dramas, then CD, JD, Thai and progressively moving into BL. This is one of the few dramas that I must say is properly rated. Not necessarily because it shows too much sex, but because of the mature subject matters covered in the series. At first it may have seemed that Type was coerced into sex with Tharn. Obviously, Type's feelings for him are much more complex than that. His experience at a young age and the stigma that goes with being homosexual causes so many to feel shame and hate themselves and others simply because society does not accept them. It is clear when you see many marrying traditionally as his older brother did at the end. Type almost gave up because his father wouldn't accept him and his partner, but so glad that he didn't. As in IU's song, Love wins all! Love is all, Love is all. Love, love, love.

An 8 rating because it is not the best acting, a bit of repetition and unnecessary silly fluff. However, it is an enjoyable series, that touches some deep subjects and worth watching.

Pitifully written and directed drama! This was produced in the year 2000 and had the worst execution I have ever seen. Thank goodness K-Dramas have imporoved significantly in the past 25 years. The only reason I am not giving it a one star is that I feel so bad for these actors who had to work on this series and cry 90% of the time. Nothing made sense in the story. No one in their right mind would behave this way. Every time I saw the waterworks I would almost burst out laughing. It was so ridiculous! In reality I almost stopped watching after episode three because I couldn't understand why these people acted the way they did. However, it baffles me how this series has such high ratings. That is why I was determined to watch it till the end. There's nothing worse in life than when someone says one thing and completely feels and acts the opposite (all the time). I didn't feel any empathy for any of the characters because the story was completely underdeveloped. There was no backstory or explanation for their actions. They either loved someone inexplicably or hated someone inexplicably or were just plain nuts. Each pereson spewed lies, deceit, and manipulation. Therefore, it made me dislike every single character. None of them had any redeeming qualities or reasons for their actions (perhaps 1% of the time). At one point, the FL even says that if you love someone there doesn't have to be a reason why, but yet tells the SML that that is why she won't give him a chance, he can't giver her a reason why he loves her... SMH. All of these characters need to be on meds and under psychiatric care. Don't waste your time, there was nothing that saves the story in the end.
