What's not to like about this one? Great story. Great actors. Happy ending. It falls short of a 10 rating only because I can't believe these two guys have known each other practically since birth and only now, at age 18, are they are revealing their true feelings. The script could have used a few flashbacks or even a few dialogue references to hints about their evolving attraction as they were growing up. Some of the character motivations were a bit illogical, like why was Tae Joo trying so hard to hook up his friend with a girl? Why was Tae Joo such a ladies man, breaking the hearts of several girls at once? Well, I suppose he was playing the role of a straight guy to disguise his true orientation. And maybe forcing Kang Gook to date a girl would force him out of the closet? Tae Joo's Mafia Boss-like father, with his James Bond villain-like henchman, was a bit over-the-top -- unintentional comic relief that distracted from the tone of the drama. The restaurant owner with "gaydar" and the running approval of Tae Joo & Kang Gook's relationship was a nice touch.
