I cant rate a based on true story by its story because well..it's true! So Im rating my experience instead and say that I love how mature yet human Akira is and how Masaru matched him very well. I mean, Akira is independent and didn't jump on Masaru's feelings, he had his doubts and when he knew that his current relationship didnt work, he chose Masaru because it felt right (this is a bias of mine because I'd rather choose someone Im sure of than endure a relationship that doesn't work). Although, I was a little troubled that he didn't intend to fall in love with Masaru... All the while, he kept testing Masaru's love because Masaru is straight. This is the "human" part I'm talking about. He gave Masaru an "out" but Masaru proved that his love for Akira wasn't curiousity, that he is learning the actions that would match his feelings. And that even if they were apart, Masaru still clung to their promise that if Masaru could face his family, Akira will accept Masaru's intentions. And I like how Kento mentions that if you intend to break up because it seems all wrong, then even a minor inconvenience can break the relationship.

Hyuk is a rich runaway who is pressued to be in the medical field. Amidst his medical genius, his aspiration as a novelist urges him to be independent and prove to his father that he chose the right path. During his rebellious independence, he stumbles upon a problematic delinquent named Binu. Not only was he a problematic student at Hyuk's friend's school, he turns out to be Hyuk's landlord. And in order to keep himself financially independent, he was offered by his friend to be a fellow teacher at school. His prolonged stay and constant friction with Binu leads to numerous interesting and troublesome circumstances. Not only from Binu's circle, but also from Hyuk's hospital ties. Nonetheless, the common filial struggle between the characters manifest itself in different ways. Hyuk with his father's expectations, Binu with his father's crime and downfall, and the antagonist with his own twisted paternal situation. Yes, daddy issues for the two main lead and the main antagonist. As much as there is a romantic tension between them, the story ends with a love-hate friendship which leaves the possibilities to the reader's mind.
