First, I thought the acting was great by everyone. I was always team Shinwoo, so happy about that. There was a lot of drama explored that you don't see in many BLs shows in general. There was issues with social awkwardness, teen hormones. It felt very real, all the situations. And there wasn't girlfriend trouble (well, maybe one, but she reformed). She just accepted the situation and moved on like an adult would. I don't really think she or Duan loved each other at all. I think it was more brother/sister love. It's hard for me to think of any scene in the series that made me cringe. I liked everything about it. I felt like I know where the story would end, but the journey was worth it.
