Main story was fun, but the pacing between the seasons was weird. the events felt strange in the order and various flashbacks made it confusing. I liked learning of Cheolho’s back story and how misunderstood he was from his messed up family when he was clearly neurodivergent. Glad he has someone who gets him. But I would have liked to see Jintae have some growth too, like realizing he was wrong for hurting Cheolho and resenting him for their relationship. Overall, it felt a bit underdeveloped in terms of the vision and fleshing out of the story and hitting the right emotional beats at the right time.
It should be acknowledged that the title “boy meets girl” and the way Jintae’s condition are handled is incredibly insensitive and problematic. There are plenty of men who were born with vaginas either because they are trans or intersex. This story and the whole “cuntboy” genre fetishize their bodies and experiences in a really creepy way that did make me unsettled for most of the story. And for the record, they are clearly both still boys, the title is just for shock value.
