Doctor Tae-sub is portrayed as sensitive, shy, quiet, and delicate, while photographer and college teacher Kyung-soo is depicted as simple, outgoing, considerate, and passionate.

Tae-sub

Kyung-soo is tall and muscular, while Tae-sub is shorter and slimmer. They fall in love at first sight on an airplane and have to secretly date to conceal their gay identity. The show doesn’t include kissing or love-making scenes; the closest physical contact shown is hugging. As it is a Korean show and marks the first time such a storyline is presented on television to a traditional Korean audience, it has already caused a significant impact.

Kyung-soo

The couple rides bikes together on countryside roads, occasionally quarreling but quickly reconciling. They wear matching rings, take wedding photos, chase each other on the beach, and even pretend to be drunk to openly express their affection for one another. Moments like Tae-sub hugging Kyung-soo from behind, Kyung-soo grabbing Tae-sub’s hand and pulling him into a corner of the stairs, with Tae-sub’s hand gently touching the wall, and Kyung-soo playfully referring to Tae-sub as his wife and princess while teasing him about a deep, passionate kiss, have a powerful impact on the audience, rivaling that of any conventional romantic and passionate show.

Actors Song Chang-eui (Tae-sub) and Lee Sang-woo (Kyung-soo) have done an exceptional job portraying their characters. Their performances have elevated the romance to a level that is not only beautiful, but also pure, warm, and, in my opinion, surpasses any BL films I have seen before. This is love—true love!

I disrupted my sleeping schedule and stayed up until 3:00 am just to witness the ending. I scoured through all the MV cuts, immersed myself in the related songs, and delved into the actors’ interviews as well as their other shows and movies. I couldn’t detach myself from the story; it had me completely captivated.

I hope there are others who also adore this show and are willing to share their sentiments and viewpoints with me!
