Once Again

This show followed the basic format of most short Korean BL's. The two men slowly realize there is an emotional bond between them. The twist here is that the two are technically living 15 years apart, with the younger boy traveling back in time once he reaches adulthood.

Which is one way to get around the age gap relationship trope issues, I suppose.

The story is a little darker than you'll typically see in a short form BL, but the romance is light-hearted and wholesome. Bring your tissues, though, there are a few moments that got the better of me.

I wish there had just been a smidge more about the side characters but there's not much you can do with a short show like this. There was a lot hinted that in normal circumstances would have been explored/explained, but what can you do?

I would probably not find myself re-watching this show for any reason other than having to fill out the detailed episode guides but I did enjoy my time with it.

8/10


I have to go back and rewatch this for the episode commentary.
