I really like this drama. It has layers and depth because we are not spoon fed all the issues and have to wait for the reveals. Leo's role is intriguing and a warning for anyone that wants to be rescued as he shows he needs Jung Woo to fail so he can keep this role.

The premise of being a whistleblower for corruption in the publishing world and the severe backlash he suffers is very real. ***
Jung Woo is a timid introverted character who uses his writing to express himself but after the whistleblower incident he retreats into the arms of Leo, his professed protector.

After years of isolation from his craft Jung Woo meets the sunny optimistic publisher Tae Young and he begins to heal and believe in himself again.

The reveals are done well and outcomes were not predictable as all invested parties could be swayed. I liked that the plotline was the focus more than the relationships.

The acting was okay but could have been more animated with greater use of micro facial expressions and definitely some coaching around the DFK. The BL aspects were somewhat wooden, however, in context with all three main actors having very little acting experience I think they did okay.
NB
The director was also a producer on the drama "Kissable Lips" that suffered the same issues.

Well worth watching.

***A quick search and I found;
"South Korean whistleblower Kim Yong-chul, who has written a book about his efforts to expose alleged corruption and greed at Samsung, faces censure and isolation.
The former Moon Jae-in administration announced in June last year a series of measures to help protect whistleblowers by stressing the importance of such people in making society better. But now the government has gone on to sue Shin (Shin Jae-min, 32, who identified himself as a former deputy director of South Korea’s Ministry of Economy and Finance), for leaking classified information. The irony is self-evident."
