First, let’s deal with the elephant in the room: the small amount of episodes and the short time of each episode. This drama was made to test how an LGBT-themed show or movie would fare in conservative South Korea. This is why we need to support this project and give it great reviews. I definitely want to see more of this.
Secondly, this is not bromance. This is romance. There is love. There is intimacy. Not graphic at all, just very sweet.
Story: Gook is Taejoo’s bodyguard and closest friend. They have a playful relationship, but Gook starts to become jealous of Taejoo’s interactions with other people, just as Taejoo begins to feel the same way about Gook’s interaction with a new girl at school. TJ and Gook go through the will-they-won’t-they moments, which lead to “something” happening on a field at school and being seen by someone else. Taejoo’s father then gets involved. You’ll have to watch the rest of the show to get the conclusion. :)
I was blown away by the acting. Both leads are handsome in their own ways, but their chemistry together was fire! When they get close together, you can see that they care for each other and are both hoping for more to happen between them. Every line in the drama carries extra weight. Their faces show so many emotions without words. Their intimate touches gave me goosebumps (especially TJ stroking Gook’s ear at school).
The cinematography is incredible. The scenes move in a way that keeps the story interesting and leaves you wanting to see what’s going to happen next. The music was always perfect for the scene (the little melody when TJ caresses Gook’s ear at school was my favorite little song).
I was left with a few questions that weren’t answered in the show (the significance of TJ’s Japan trip, TJ’s mother’s absence, how did Gook become his bodyguard at the age of three [they allude to having a fifteen year relationship], etc)
I would recommend this to anyone that wants to see a good, short BL drama. It’s intense, but light-hearted at times. And it does have an enjoyable ending.
