I absolutely loved the chemistry between the leads! Their kisses were so natural and passionate—finally a Korean BL that doesn't hold back. Yes, the plot is a bit messy, but I was too busy swooning over their smiles and the cute date scenes to care. The dad was an angel. Give me more like this!

This was a complete waste of time. The story jumps around so much that I felt like I was missing entire episodes. Why did they break up? What happened in the year gap? Nothing makes sense. Even the acting couldn't save the terrible editing. I'm genuinely baffled anyone gave this above a 5.

The OST 'Wish Upon the Stars' is absolutely gorgeous and one of the best K-BL songs I've heard. It carries the emotional weight that the script sometimes lacks. I found myself replaying the intro just for the music. The acting is decent, and the leads have good energy. It's a shame the story wasn't as polished as the soundtrack.

The fashion world setting gave us some really nice color palettes and wardrobe choices, especially the evolution of Yeong Woo's style. The cinematography has a few lovely shots (the ending across the street is poetic). But the lighting is inconsistent, and the sound mixing in outdoor scenes is distractingly bad. A visual treat with a confused narrative.

I appreciated the supportive father-son relationship and the lack of toxic masculinity. But the love triangle is poorly handled—Yi Bin's behavior is borderline manipulative and never properly addressed. Also, the scene where Yeong Woo touches a sleeping Gi Jin's face without consent was uncomfortable and played for cuteness. We need better communication in BL.
