It's objectively bad, but that hasn't stopped thousands of girls from enjoying it. It had some good ideas & some lackluster or non-execution. The idea that there was two parallel universes wasn't explored in depth. It was suggested that Shiwoo's dead brother crossed sides & was Jun's Shiwoo, but it never went anywhere. A love rival was introduced & promptly forgotten. The question of where the modern universe's Jun was was never touched upon. Jun gets a job for a short period of time & then reverts back to being a house hermit.

What thid story DID do was putz around for months on trivial daily life & none of the drama that was supposed to spice the series up burnt off & never made it to the table. Jun is a dopey pouting manchild who is a complete dick to Shiwoo's friends. Shiwoo is the tight-lipped kind who thinks more than he talks. He gets embarassed by & whines about anything. They kind of feel more like a lesbian couple, & they spend all their time talking about feelings instead of really doing anything.

Also note that there is only one yaoi scene, at the very end, & it is heavily censored, so calling it yaoi is a huge stretch. It's just BL with one love scene.

I did not care for "Best Actors Life: Take-Two" but it was like a superior version of this is a way. Everything this series walked past to focus on the fluff was tackled head on in BAL. Conflicts were resolved way too easy & fast, but at least it happened. Thus this loses even more points with me.
