I am appalled that I slept on this show for so long. It is by far one of the best kdramas I’ve seen. Period. The acting of each was by far so convincing it had me immediately siding with Park Ji-hoon, who is my absolute faborite character. His character growth was as flawless as the innate traits that made Si-eun who he was. I rooted for him all the way- he could do no wrong in my mind. And Choi Hyun-Wook as Su-ho…he’s the good guy who takes no shit effortlessly that I love so much. His influence on Si-eun is nothing but positive, and the relationship they have is like best friend brothers. (My BL heart had a few moments there though…you can’t really blame me for the fleeting ship I repeatedly sent back to dock…especially since I did send it back to dock successfully in the end).

I wanted revenge just like Si-eun. Hong Kyung as Beom-seok showed such a range of character…I applaud this actor for going from victim to villain/victim so well. I can’t like Beom-seok, but can’t hate him either. His father is the true villain in my book. Reall, all the adults-where tf where they?! I mean, really? And Kim Su-gyeom as Yeong-bin…he’s such a cute irl but his character? I was glad for every single punch he received. The “I don’t care” from Si-eun came from me, too!

I can’t wait for Season 2…I know Si-eun is gonna make waves where ever he is and I’m here for it.

The only thing that was frustrating was that I could watch episodes 1-7 on YouTube but I had to do a crazy and slightly desperate search for Episode 8, which I found in Dailymotion. (The relief was REAL.) But that’s mild.

I’ll be eagerly awaiting the release date for S2 this year…hopefully sooner rather than later. Meanwhile, I’m off to watch more shows with Park Ji-hoon because I’m a new fan.
