This series really impressed me with how much story development it managed to fit into just ten episodes of around twelve minutes each. Despite the short runtime, the pacing never felt rushed, and the writing, direction, cinematography, and acting all came together to create something both polished and heartfelt. The characters were engaging right from the start, and their relationships were easy to connect with, which made the show very watchable and enjoyable throughout.

One aspect I particularly enjoyed was the subtle element of fantasy woven into the story. It wasn't over the top or far-fetched, but rather felt natural and beautifully integrated into the world of the characters. This touch gave the series a unique flavor, setting it apart from more straightforward dramas, while still keeping it grounded and emotionally relatable.

I also appreciated the overall aesthetic, the way the story was shot gave it a warm, intimate atmosphere that suited the tone perfectly. The performances felt natural and genuine, which added depth to even the smaller, quieter moments.

If I had one small critique, it would be that the ending, while optimistic and satisfying in its own way, felt a little too brief. I would have loved to see the resolution developed further. Still, given the limited time, the series wrapped up well and left me with a positive impression. Overall, it's a lovely series; thoughtful, engaging, and easy to recommend. If you enjoy Korean BL's, this should be on your watch list.

This is an enjoyable drama from start to finish. Across all 16 episodes, the storyline and acting kept me engaged, without ever feeling padded or dragged out. Based on the premise, which seemed a bit superficial and silly, I wasn't expecting such a deep and interesting story, with excellent character development. An edit on social media piqued my interest though, and I am really glad I watched this.

I appreciated the way the romantic storyline was handled. It was refreshing to see a K-drama where the relationship develops around love, trust, and genuine support for each other. The show really highlights how love can bring out the best in people. It's one of the best romantic k-dramas I have seen as it skips over the frustrating penultimate episode tropes, which is what this story deserves.

The leads acted well, but in the romantic scenes, something about their dynamic did not come across naturally. The rigidity in their posture and body language made the romance feel stiff rather than organic. It didn't take anything away from their story, but it was a distraction.

Overall, this drama delivers a heartfelt message about love, trust, and friendship, and it is definitely worth watching. Slightly let down by the lack of romantic chemistry between the leads and a few weaker or unbelievable side stories, but a solid 8/10 for me.
