My Expectations Before Watching:
I was actually very excited to watch this as I have been really getting into K-BLs lately. The cast really caught my eye and I loved them, although I had never watched them before. I was excited to see how the BLs in Korea have been progressing, and after shows like Semantic Error, I had high expectations on how this BL would be just like any other romance drama. I was simultaneously watching this drama with A Shoulder To Cry On, another K-BL I loved (and will be making a review of soon!)
Overall Thoughts After Watching:
I LOVED IT. Perfect mix of drama and fluff. Not too many misunderstandings or unnecessary conflict that ruins the relationship between the two leads. The teasing in the beginning was not annoying or over done, but the perfect amount to somehow make it sweet. The characters fit the actors so well, and they did a really good job acting too. The extra cookies of them during their high school years are such a nice touch to provide us with background information on their story/relationship and adds so much cuteness >< The game format is also a really cool concept and I think the plot in general was really refreshing and fun. The only problem is its too short!! Season 2 pls!!ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ I would do anything to watch this drama for the first time again! (Wouldn't mind rewatching either:))
Feelings on Individual Characters:
Lee Wan (Ian):
HE IS SUCH A CUTIE!!!!! I loved how clueless and clumsy he was and how he couldn't control and hide the fact that he is so in love with Ki Tae (playing hard to getðŸ˜). He really stole the show. Lee Jong Hyuk himself stole my whole heart and attention he did such a great job acting and portraying his character. One of my now new favourite actors!
Shin Ki Tae (Eddy):
HILARIOUS. He really did whatever he could to get his man ðŸ˜. While his initial behaviours were all reasonable and understandable, he still made sure to never hurt Wan or guilt him. I love how straightforward he was throughout the series and made sure to clear all misunderstandings with Wan when he got the chance. Lee Seunggyu made the character come to life so well, I can't imagine anyone else playing Ki Tae!
Special Mentions
Jamie played by Park Si Young:
I think her character was so adorable and I loved the way she acted her. Definitely the best fit for the role and I was pleasantly surprised when I saw Park Si Young in another drama series again!
