I think the story was crafted really well and there could be potential for a second season, since the ending suggests future relationship development. Also i have to mention the quality of all the scenes, the camera placement, e.c., which i don't see a lot in BL series. The script was great too, there wasn't any awkwardness or uncomfortable silences and i guess you could say this is one of the best series I have ever seen.

Perfect BL to recharge after heavy drama!
It's a great BL to watch, especially after watching a "tiring" drama.It's a good break with something light, easy to watch
I really love the chemistry between the couple, the soft angst make it kinda hot!
I actually watched this for 2nd time today and I still enjoy it, despite remembering what would happen next.
The only thing I wish for is a little explanation on the ending but I guess there's a beauty to mystery to lol..
Not all things need to be explained, I guess!

Short and really sweet!
Just the fact that this bl is Korean should be enough for most people to like it haha. I have watched very few Korean BL's until now but this will definitely stand on the top of my list for a while.Like everyone else, I've been complaining nonstop at how short this drama is, but again, it adds on to the charm of the show. Maybe it wouldn't have been this good and sweet if it was a regular one hour long, 16 episode drama.
I will definitely rewatch this in the future and if you have doubts about watching it, don't. It will hardly take up two hours of your time, but those two hours will be well-spent.

I am very happy to see Korea producing more LGBTQ drama and I hope this is a trend that continues cause if they are of this quality they will be spectacular

STORY: Although it wasn't much difference in telling a story about two teenage boys, who are childhood friends, discovering their sexuality and feelings for each other, it did when it comes to BL's in Korea. This was a huge step in the right direction for Korea hopefully we get more stories like this one soon. Also eventhough it's not really different to many other stories in this genre the story line still felt deep to me. The characters grow & change in those short 10 mins/8 episodes. Both of them become stronger and more confident in themselves. Gook stops being afraid of his feelings when he faces down Tae Joo's father all out of love for TJ. Tae Joo becomes more serious & selfless when he is honest about his feelings to his father and basically gives up both his freedom and Gook in order to keep Gook safe. Seriously WYEL evokes so much from the viewer no matter how short and fast paced it was. I actually liked that because the story never dragged & kept me glued to my computer screen. Oh and that ending????? *squeals!* I didn't expect to get a HEA I'm so glad we did. I rated this section 9.5 because although yes, I've seen this plot many, many times in BL's before it still evoked so much in me.
ACTING/CAST: I had never seen any of these actors before but they all did an excellent job with their characters. All of them were perfectly cast. Especially the leads, wow were they good. I really felt like I wasn't watching two actors but the real characters. Their emotions felt so real. 10/10 all around!
MUSIC: The music choices really made the scenes come to life. I think I found my new OST. 10/10
REWATCH VALUE: 10/10 I'm already watching it over again lol.
OVERALL: 10/10- Thanks to everyone who decided to make this show not only storywise but acting wise too and what hopefully it will mean for Korea in the future.

Hopeful future for K-BLs
As some other people have stated, I was also a bit skeptical when I heard that there was a Korean BL, but I knew I had to give it a try and I totally loved it. It was such a cute story that, although full of cliches, managed to deliver nice emotions and a feel-good type of ending.I really loved the combination of the characters' personalities, their realization of love and how they fought in their own ways to be on each other's side.
Since this was such a short story, the going abroad and forced breakup wasn't really annoying, and instead it actually felt like it was the right way to build the story up. I loved their final encounter and how they were still so into each other.
Really cute story, I just wish we could get at least a season 2 to get more of Han Tae Joo and Kang Gook.

my only complaint is that having eight 10 minute eps made it feel too weird imagine if this was a full on show with plot now thats something lets just hope we will see this in the future
and as an ost enthusiast this one just hit the spot the op was too good and fitting

Even the rest of the cast did a really good job with each of their characters.
Honestly, if they had the budget and run-time of regular kdramas (like 30 min- 1hr with 16 episodes) it would’ve fleshed out the plot and characters. While I was watching each episode, I could actually visualize in my head what more they could do with the story. The emotional impact would’ve been even greater too (not saying that the story as is didn’t have that impact because it did totally affect me).
I really liked the songs and am gonna look them up. However, some of the background music/instrumentals were kind of off for certain scenes (not complaining though because they probably had limited bg music choices idk).
Anyway, as a whole I’d rate this a 10/10. It’s short and sweet; I highly recommend it and I’d totally watch it again. Hopefully this will jumpstart more Korean BL dramas in the future (I honestly can’t wait!)
And yes, right after watching the last episode today, I immediately made an account here to rate this and write a review. That’s how much I liked this drama!

Recommend Watching
Let's start off like this:I didn't know I would like this drama, but let me tell you I fell in love after the first episode.
I don't get why people don't like this drama, or are leaving bad reviews; but this drama is great. I know it's a little short, and I would've liked if it was longer, but it is one of the most perfect dramas ever. I think the leads are perfect together, and the story line was a roller coaster of emotions.
I really liked that they made this BL drama cause it is literally everything, and it goes to show that even BL makes people's hearts flutter like mine. I really want them to make another drama together! I also want more Korean BL dramas cause this is one of a kind. I don't think any other BL drama could beat this, but i'm willing to see more.
I know that this type of romance is taboo is a lot of countries including South Korea, but I don't see what is so wrong with this stuff. The heart wants what it wants, and nobody can change that(unless they fall in love with someone else lol. )I absolutely loved this drama, and I'd definitely recommend watching even re-watching this. The chemistry in this drama is everything, and I'd pay to watch this type of story again. I really disliked how short this was, but it's okay. I hope they make a season two with the same actors please, i'm begging you!
Now if you guys have a problem with my statement please feel free to dislike this if that button is available(My first time writing reviews on here so I don't know if that button exists, forgive me if I made a mistake.)
PLEASE WATCH THIS DRAMA; I SWEAR IT IS NOT A WASTE OF TIME AT ALL. DON'T LISTEN TO THE OTHER COMMENTS THAT MAKE THIS DRAMA SEEM LIKE A WASTE PLEASE AND THANK YOU,( I mean everyone can have an opinion, but with some reason, sooo whateve's). JUST WATCH IT PLEASE, AND thank you!
