Wow, after reading the reviews I was skeptical, but I actually loved it. Maybe other people are used to nice perfect characters that they can't enjoy a drama with more complex personalities. Were they toxic? A bit, but that was the point. They aren't supposed to be role models, it's a drama, it shows various characteristics, it's a form of art.

I too was annoyed at Type for being so mean, but what would the plot be if he wasn't? It's nice to see him slowly break down his walls while still staying himself (I've seen way too many characters lose all their personality to become cute pets to their "daddies"...) and I think that's what Tharn loved about him, as you can see him smiling every time Type snarks at him.

You won't get a pompous speech where he admits his mistakes or speaks about homophobia, but you can see it all clearly through his actions.

I just wish they'd communicate better with each other!

My 2 issues:
1. I hoped Type would make things clear with his hometown friend, but it never happened.
2. There were many side characters, all with very little screen time, and for a long time I was confused who was who, since I didn't see them enough to remember their names and faces lol.

All in all, I binged this drama and was never bored, it's not another fluffy cute story, it gets heavy at times, so I understand others might not like it. For me however? It's one of my favourites now.
