The drama lost me after 8 episodes

This drama had a lot of potential and when it started it off I loved every bit of it. The cast and the chemistry and the storylines were perfect, initially

I loved the first storyline in this drama, the setup, buildup, and the eventual pay off was pretty good. The main leads were definitely cute and the side characters had enough depth ( not much of a story behind them ) to make them interesting.

But after wrapping the first storyline, the second storyline was just too long. The same set of scenes, dialogue and everything was thrown around multiple times. Towards the end I was skipping Soo much.

I really feel this drama could have wrapped up much earlier than it did.

A perfect BL drama worth the watch that has pacing issues at the end

A shoulder to cry on was a drama that I did not expect to enjoy, but I loved every moment of it. The two main leads had amazing chemistry and I honestly believe a lot of people pass/dislike this drama due to the lack of skinship which is a bit sad.

The first five and a half episodes of this drama was perfect to me in all respect. The pacing of the drama was just fast enough to keep you on the edge of your toes and eager to know what happens next. In terms of character growth and development, Tae Hyun has a much better fleshed out arc compared to Da Yeol. But in the end I really loved both characters as they both have an important life lesson attached to them.

But to me this drama represents something tangible rather than overly used tropes and fanservice. I think an important part of the drama that most people miss is the fact that Tae Hyun is not sure about his feelings. Besides this he also faces societal pressure in the form of his other fake friend who calls him weird just for being close to Da Yeol. This to me represents something that could happen in real life, where a person is not sure about their feelings and hence would rather push people away and avoid it.

Now comes the not so good part of the drama. I feel the pacing of the last 1.5 episodes where totally mismanaged. Episode 6 had a time skip which took away from the emotions rather than complimenting it. The resolution of the plot in this episode also felt weird and unsatisfying. Episode 7 on the other hand feels like a fanservice episode though sweet, was let down due to the lack of depth of episode 6. I honestly believe if they had extended episode 6 and done a second season before episode 7, this drama would be the literally perfect.

As someone who has watched other BL dramas, I believe this one of the better if not best one at the moment. And hence I would really recommend this drama.

A must watch kdrama with a lot of depth

As soon as I saw the trailer for this kdrama I knew I would be a big fan of it.

But ngl, after starting the first episode I thought it was a bit slow. That was until the show picked up. Then on it was a weekly painful wait for this show to release as I loved every bit off it.

This drama had a lot of big strengths, one of them being the extremely strong cast. Usually in some dramas I tend to forget about the side characters but particularly in this drama all of them have Soo much depth, that I loved every bit off it. Must I add more about the chemistry between the main leads ( all of them ) and their acting. Perfect in all sense.

The ost in this drama was amazing too. All of the different songs in the drama were very vibey and I thought it fit perfectly with the premise. The sets of the drama along with the funny moments just added even more to such an amazing drama.

My only wish was that the final episode was longer and explored a bit more. But apart from that such a big fan of the drama and cannot recommend it more.
