A Complete Waste of Time

If you're coming from watching any BLs that have actual story and good character and relationship development, you will be highly disappointed with this drama.
I was so excited to start watching this one because there was so much hype surrounding it, but it's truly one of the worst BL stories I've ever watched.
However, I didn't hate every part of it, so let me talk about what I liked before we get to the detriment of the story. The casting and OST are phenomenal for this series. I think Shinwoo and Taekyung look so cute together and are perfect for leads in this show. Namgoong is a fantastic character that adds a lot of interesting and funny parts to the story. Other than these points, however, there is not much good I can say about this show.
First off, the overall story is so. Incredibly. Boring. Literally nothing happens. It's just a high school love triangle story. I feel as though I'm slightly biased because I have quite a distaste for love triangles to begin with, but this one enraged me the most. Too much of the run time focuses on Taekyung's feelings for Daon, and it feels way too late for our main couple by the time it gets to them in the story. It feels kind of weird when they get together in the end because it feels like Taekyung just said "Well, the president won't confess how he really feels, might as well give Shinwoo a shot." I dunno. Something about it felt weird. Usually in BLs when there's a love triangle, it's pretty clear who is going to end up together, and the third piece of the triangle doesn't get that much screen time. It feels like the story wanted Taekyung to be with Daon, then changed its mind halfway through. I would've liked it more if Taekyung was denying his feelings for Shinwoo throughout the whole series, only to realize he's the only one to be with. Overall, it took me forever to get through this drama because it is literally so boring and the series is too long for the story it has. Not to mention the annoying female character who is always after Daon.
I never know why these BLs insist on having evil, obnoxious female characters, but she added truly nothing to the story, and was just a nuisance.
And then after getting through this whole series waiting for a big romantic ending, we get some quick, closed mouth, half-eye open K-drama kiss. I was incredibly disappointed. I literally felt like I had wasted my time.
If you enjoy stories that are very slow and don't have much plot to them, as well as a shallow love story, then you probably will enjoy this drama. If not, I'd stay away from this one. And of course if you don't like love triangle stories like myself, then avoid this one like the plague for sure.
