Felt like I was watching Star in My Mind 2

but with much better communication between Joke and Zo. At least they're problems they were able to fix quicker by actually talking to each other unlike Kluen and Dao. Still the story is basically the same: two college students, one has a one side crush on the other at first, there's a girl heavily involved: rinse, recycle, repeat. I only liked it a little more than SIMM because the characters are way more mature emotionally, esp Joke. At least in this one I didn't want to tear my hair out with any arguments the characters may have had etc. Other than that, it's essentially the same story. Dunk's acting is still stiff, and I still have to feel any chemistry between JoongDunk that's not forced. I hate those forced, cliche, chemistry moments and there was ton here. As for rewatch value: I'll probably rewatch when I'm bored or don't have anything else to watch.

Different and compelling even if the ending

is heartbreaking but to me it made sense and was realistic. The story was interesting and different and I like how certain countries are moving away from traditional BL's. South Korea was one of the first to do this. The writing may not have been the best, but I give them huge credit. I liked the idea that past trauma led by guilt can be ket go off if you get a second chance with a loved one. I also like that even if the story is heartbreaking there's still that light of hope that things can and will get better. As it is the norm with time travel stories. Well with any kind of stories that is.

I think the best thing about the series was the acting since there's still room for improvement when it comes to wfriting, plot and certain themes. But back to the acting Lee Hyun Yun and Moon Yi Yong gave incredible performances. Seriously, the emotion that both LHY & MYY portrayed was top notch to the point that I cried with them. I had never seen them before but I'll say that both are extremely talented. BRAVO!

The OST was also beautiful. Great choices made by the production team

Overall I give this series a 7.5 out of 10. Like I said more room for improvement but still enjoyable due to the acting.

Cute but I wish it wouldn't have been cut in half.

I liked the acting and the story. But I also felt like a lot of the plot was rushed and when I found out that the episode count went from 8 down to 4 episodes it made sense. I felt like a lot of buildup was cut because of that and some of the essence was lost. Still, I think the writers managed to keep the gist of the story despite that. And I felt like it delt with real problems teenagers deal with when coming to terms with themselves and their sexuality. Ther acting by the main actors was good and they had good chemistry. But I wish the producers would have respected them and the rest of the crew more. Still cute little story about first love, parents' acceptance and finding yourself & love when you are not looking for it.

Overall, I give it a 7.0 because I feel like this series could have given more.
