Not your average BL drama
What can I say, but I'd have to agree with the many previous reviewers of this drama! ATOTS has a gorgeous and impeccable storyline and photography. And the acting! Earth & Mix were spectacular as the leads - I am in awe of how well Mix's acting is in ATOTS, especially that he is a newcomer. The only thing I would say is that his character sometimes cries too much in the show, but I think that is not his fault. I am very impressed of how Earth's acting has improved tremendously since Water Boyy! Again, I cannot stress enough how natural these 2 actors are in this drama, and how "real" their relationship seems. Another actor I'd like to give props to is Nammon. I thought he did exceptionally well in this one, especially since the last drama I saw him in - which was SOTUS S.
I also enjoy that this drama goes beyond the usual high school/college (engineering) setting as well, and it brings a complex flavor/depth to the series. I also appreciate how the series is very empowering of LGBTQ+ community - where everyone act normal/unsurprised when the characters announced that they may be gay or that they like a guy. It is so refreshing to not hear a character stating "I am a man, and I only happen to like XXX" like quasi-admitting that they like guys but denying that they are gay.
Overall, I LOVE ATOTS. I am sad that I discovered it a bit later, but I am glad that such a great series is available! If you have not watched it, I highly recommend this series!!
