Chu Sang Woo is a junior computer science majoring student who prizes reason, rules, and a rigid sense of what is right above all else. As part of his university work, he is told to work on a group project for the liberal arts, whereby the group is required to make a final presentation in order to pass the module. But as the rest of the group – whom he knows nothing about – have decided to leave him to do all the work on his own, he decides to remove their names, and make the presentation in his name. But little did he know that when he did this, he would deal a heavy blow to the academic prospects of a senior student named Jang Jae Young. The latter, a design major, is Chu Sang Woo’s polar opposite. He is stylish, fun-loving, and – above all – extraordinarily popular. He is the closest thing the college has to a superstar! But when his credit for the liberal arts project is taken away, his grand plans to study abroad are suddenly thrown up in the air. He seeks out Chu Sang Woo and is of a mind to torment him. But when the duo is forced to work together, a strange attraction starts to develop between them…

Granted BL K-dramas have come a long way in recent months...still they have a ways to go to reach for those wonderful characters and unique stories, as in a BL Tawain drama.  Yet, I liked the acting in this one. Although, it was an awful short drama which in the end will result in a so-called movie that will run on VIKI. And I might give it another spin since I'm not gonna lie was smitten with (the guy in red) Park Seo Ham's performance.

Yet, it took me a bit to warm up to the storyline. I'm not much on the premise of enemies becoming lovers (and it was JUST DATING at the end) Of course, many hope they will bring back the duo for another season. But still (a bit of a squint to my reaction) they like to create video games..... I guess they know their demographic.

In reality, you have Ham who is 28 and Chan is 20. I don't want to nitpick. Although, Ham is waaaaay taller than Chan. On a happy note, they both have PARK in their name and they both are from different boybands..so you have some real performers in this little BL K-Drama.
