The first con to this series is the pacing was severely rushed throughout the series as if the writers wanted to cram in as much from the book as they could (quantity over quality). I understand that the writers only had four episodes to work with, but that makes it all the more important to carefully select which scenes from the novel to adapt, make sure the writing is super tight, and that every single word and interaction has meaning behind it so that not a second is wasted.

Bar's character was very confusing to me because from the very first episode we see Gun constantly force himself into Bar's life, control who Bar can and can't speak to while Bar responds with looks of disgust, discomfort, and flat-out refusal.
Yet on the other hand even though Bar didn't seem to show interest with those nasty faces towards Gun, he would offer Gun to come to dinner with him, or he would accept Gun's rides to school even though he didn't seem to want it going by his expressions. Bar's character is really hard to read because the way he looks and acts around Gun seems to go against the way he's actually feeling around Gun. It's clear he wants to be around him even though he refuses him. He's not an easy character to read and I presume this is due to bad writing.

Moving on to the acting which also relates to Bar's behavior of one minute giving Gun the refusal face to the next minute riding with him in a car or willingly hanging out with him. It feels very forced and not natural whatsoever. The chemistry between the 2 boys for me just doesn't exist until the very last episode. Everything about them feels uncomfortable to watch and very awkward, some scenes you might even find yourself skipping.
The acting on both ends simply just wasn't good whatsoever.

The problem with Gun in here is the fact that he seems somewhat controlling, before they got in a relationship and even after he was always making Bar's decisions for him without even hearing Bar's say in it all. When Bar's friends ask him to go to the bar together, instead of letting Bar answer, Gun just says "no he's not going" and in that regard I don't respect him, but in the regard I do respect him in is he's very good about consent during kissing or sexual activity, you can tell he truly cares about the comfort of his boyfriend, which brings me to the fourth episode where their actually a couple. Now I'll tell you why I enjoyed the episode, not only because of the consent (which many series don't have), but also because we saw Bar's mature side.

When Gun was acting childish and only thinking about missing Bar, wanting to be around Bar, even if that means skipping class and forgetting responsibilities, Bar brings him back to his senses and tries to help him think about his own future and love himself and not only worry about spending time together. He helps teach him to be responsible and not only think about their relationship. It shows he actually cares about his boyfriends future and wellbeing. Bar is very straightforward and uses common sense while also being loving, caring and kind.
Something I will point out is if you are for natural cute kissing scenes, this isn't the right series for you, the kisses here are barely pecks.

Now something I loved about the series from it's start to finish is when Gun & Bar were upset about something and had a problem they didn't just avoid each other and create a bunch of unnecessary drama as most other series do, instead if they noticed one was upset or had an issue they talked to each other about it and worked things out right then and there and understood each other. Communication is the number one thing boy love series lack in my opinion, so it's nice to see a change. Bar & Gun properly communicate and disagree, without insulting each other or fighting which is a rare thing to see.

Last but not least, there were scenes that they blatantly copied from more popular boy love series word for word, action for action which bothered me, and I also didn't like the typical thing of one going from straight to gay within an instant, the series clearly isn't very original but most really aren't. Also the production quality was not very good. That's all I have to say, I spent over an hour putting this together so I hope it helped as many people as it could. I'm glad I watched it because the last episode made it worth it, but all in all I wouldn't recommend it.
