Cute short series

This was a cute and fun series to kill an afternoon with. Each episode is about 20min long so it's really easy to binge watch the entire thing in one sitting. It was a nice change of pace for when I'm in between a couple of longer, heavier dramas.

What I liked about this was how adult it was and I don't mean in terms of "content rating." There was none of the silly misunderstandings or normal cliches that occur in BL. Every conflict that came up was valid and dealt with instead of drawn out, although that could very well be due to the short duration of the series as a whole. I particularly liked that the show still kept focus on their job and their relationship in a healthy balance of work and personal life. Oftentimes in BL, once the main characters meet, everything else gets put on the back burner and the show makes you think they now spend every waking moment together, which is unnecessary. However, here, the entire premise is about Woo Seung becoming a new employee and the show kept its focus on that. There was no "I'm going to call in sick today because I'm feeling heartbroken" nonsense.

I'd read the comic and I thought they did a decent job at keeping to the same storyline. The actors fit the roles nicely and I feel like the main leads had good chemistry. Although I'd read the 18+ version of the comic, I don't necessarily feel the loss of the NC stuff because the story and romance that we did get was worth it.
