Cliché plot done well saddled with lacklustre chemistry!

Overall the show is quite enjoyable with beautiful setting and backdrops and fitting engaging music. The show has its funny and quirky moments and moments which will give you butterflies in the stomach.

But there were quite a few elements in the show which kept pulling me back! Let me list a few of my reservatios:-
1. The show still felt heavily targeted towards the female audience, where the entire plot can be easily replaced by a female character and nothing shall change. There is no specific BL or LGBT element that makes it stand out except for the physical traits of the actors!
2. DEAD-FISH KISSES: Well i am certainly aware that the actors cast for the role are slightly veteran actors and their may be a lot of awkward moments during shooting, when the actors themselves maybe straight! But let me get this straight, please don't do BL dramas if you aren't comfortable representing a community if you aren't able to play their roles with full justice! We've come a long way with korean BLs and i feel they certainly shouldn't limit themselves soothing the fetishes of BL fujoshis and have some substance!
3. Flat one dimensional characters: There was no sense of realism in the plot, the entire ambience felt the actors being forced to proximity! Wonyoung being a 26-27 year old behaved like a 20 year old school girl did not befit his role.
4. The second couple had a better build-up and more convincing story, sadly they received very little to no screentime!

Keeping my personal reservations aside, the show is quite enjoyable overall and wouldn't disappoint the likes of people wanted to watch some unrealistic fluff! Thank you! :)
