Much like every aspect and climactic moment of the two seasons, when it came to the kiss scenes, the series did not disappoint. Flowing seamlessly with the emotions displayed at the moment by the characters, the kiss scenes were beyond beautiful. In the first season, it was a declaration of love as the climactic build-up to this moment made it even more special. There has been an undeniable attraction between the two housemates, and even though Han JiWoo was not ready to let his guard down, Kang SeoJun knew that he also liked him and had to take the first step to show he cared for him.

The second season had a rollercoaster of emotions but its depth and impressive storytelling made every second worth it. Fully showing the dynamic differences in both characters, their flaws are turned into their beauty and what makes them unique. A relatable sequel, this second season perhaps shifts the paradigm of what it takes to create a true work of art. This particular kiss scene was a redefining moment not just for the characters but for the viewers as well. Coming as a surprise to not just Kang SeoJun but to the viewers as well. While season 1 was an act of declaration, this felt like an act of desire and passion.

The impact this moment had in the relationship of the characters was clearly visible as you could see by their reactions an unmistakable passion and attraction they had. And this moment served as a pivotal point in their budding relationship.

4. "Cherry Blossoms After Winter"

This scene was truly magical as the emotional moment leading up to it made it even more special. Reeling over the loss of his parents and feeling downcast on his birthday, it was clear that one of the reasons why HaeBom hadn't given in to his feelings for TaeSung was because people he cared about tend to leave him. Not wanting to let the same happen with TaeSung, he asks the question "You won't leave me, right?" In this moment, it was evident he needed some form of reassurance and hope that TaeSung would always be by his side, and TaeSung's actions truly spoke louder than words. Soft and sweet, this kiss was not just a confession of love but a gentle reminder that he would always be there.

5. "Kissable Lips"

This kiss scene perhaps added more depth and attraction to the series as the chemistry between the actors was even more evident here. The scene is quite refreshing as with this singular action, we could clearly see the longing and desire they had for each other.
