The drama presents a promising & mature concept, but its execution falls short. The interesting developments are concentrated in the final episodes, leaving The beginning episodes feeding slow & unnecessary. A more balanced storyline would significantly improve the viewing experience. While the acking is commendable, the character Personalities could be more consistent through better writing. Additionally, the numerous flashbacks feel excessive & could have been used to smooth out the abrupt Scene transitions caused by time constraints. it's worth watching if you have a couple of hours lo spore, but it's nota must-see

Beautiful dance
I loved this series it was entertaining and well acted except for the deadfish kiss scenes The acting was good enough that the actors conveyed their characters so well there was no need for the kiss scenes especially since Choo young woo apparently had a problem doing a bl and If this is true it just lessens him as an actor, all acting in any genre when recognized above others is an achievement it is his job & when you are representing any love story do honor to the role, if not you cheapen your work and make it personal after all isn't it acting Don't reap the benefit and smear the project just speaks to his character if this is trueWas this review helpful to you?
Foundational Romance Tropes? Fated mates & Grumpy/Sunshine
This is a cool little trope filled nugget out of Korea that I assumed was going to be a slice of life dance version of Wish You but was a bit more complex.The main character is a dancer and the love interest is a loan shark sent to extort money from him. There was a red tread soulmates trope coloring their interactions and a touch of unexpected physical humor.
Essentially it’s the story of two lonely lost souls finding each other, but also it’s about art and the connection it can build. The ending was rushed ( pacing off through the later half), and the whole thing came off as colder than I expected, but I liked it anyway.

Korea has really good BL dramas
I have been watching Thai dramas for a long time but Korea has some really good BL dramas too. This is one of them. My favorite is Light On Me but this is a good close second. I feel like Korea comes with really unique storylines that are very captivating.The story was a really cute one from the start. Connected by a podcast from the start till the end. Just 2 lonely people who found each other, fell in love, and face the ups and downs of life. The chances of something like this happening in real life are close to none but in fiction, it makes a cute and fuzzy story and makes us believe that love truly is out there. Love comes in different ways and makes everything good again.
P.S. I see the connection of the red thread now in Until We Meet Again (Thai drama)

A beautiful thematic story interwoven with Art!
I love how korea brings out unique storylines and beautiful setups! Nothing was overdone and everything felt very calm and motivating to me! Actors gave enough justice to their characters and had excellent chemistry and their acting felt natural and smooth!Loved the concept of the 'Destiny woven by Red thread'. Visuals were appealing. There were a few cheesy moments but I could totally get through it because of the pacing! Expected more dancing as it was a dance based theme!
Yet a short, simple, sweet and enjoyable ride!

Curto, mas bem executado.
A história é boa. Não é nada extraordinário e fora do comum, mas cumpre bem o que promete. Apesar de os episódios serem muito curtos, a história se desenvolve relativamente bem e tem um desfecho satisfatório.Também não é livre de falhas: algumas tramas poderiam ter sido melhor trabalhadas e explicadas, mas deposito a culpa disso na duração dos episódios. Levando em consideração que a maioria deles mal chega a 15 minutos de duração, imagino que o principal foco da direção tenha sido o desenvolvimento da relação entre os personagens e deixar os outros tópicos de lado. Faz sentido.
Em conclusão, poderia ter sido melhor com mais tempo, mas consegue oferecer bastante mesmo no tempo curto.

It had potential....but could've been better
Okay so the lady wanted Shi On to pay his debts...And Hong Seok had a house. He could have just sold the house and paid the debt, and then move in with Shi On....they were living together anyway. Instead of that, he decided to make an unreasonable deal with the lady- "I'll move to another country if you just let him keep the house". Apart from this, this is good enough....there are some soft and cute moments. The ending was unsatisfying. I was like- "This is the last episode? The relationship just started T.T "

This time I will focus on the slight flaws and why I took four points away from perfection in the form of ten for the individual evaluations.
A slight chill accompanied me throughout the series, unlike other dance projects. The plot was a bit too abrupt, sometimes on the contrary, the dancing skills were very average, and therefore there were not many shots of the actual "dance". In addition, it was filmed during the Korean winter, and the halls were completely unheated, when Song moved around in only a T-shirt or sweatshirt, and steam came from the actors' mouths as they spoke into the cold space. In this way, the dancers would have to practice wrapped in overalls, hats, gloves, so that their muscles do not stiffen or they do not get any health. problem. Jin Hong Seok, when he "jumped in" as a model and after adjusting the poses, the photographer was already satisfied, but he still looked like an exasperated mouse during the photo shoot. And those kisses were fishy. The strange character of the head of the enforcement firm and Jin's chaotic position as an employee in her, when he originally wanted to leave.
So now you say to yourself - so many criticisms and such evaluations, but they were trifles and Korea is one of the developed gay film countries, that's why I start from the tens, unlike for example some "beginner" countries, where I start from the ones and notice the pluses.
Čekal jsem trošku více, než jsem dostal, "něco" mi v tomto seriálu chybělo. Každopádně ale příjemné a lehce nadprůměrné, především díky roztomilosti Song Shi On-a.
Tentokrát se zaměřím na mírné nedostatky a proč jsem tedy ubral u jednotlivých hodnocení z dokonalosti ve formě desítky většinou čtyři body.
Celým seriálem mě provázel mírný chlad, na rozdíl od jiných tanečních projektů. Trošku překotnost děje, někdy naopak, taneční dovednosti byly velmi průměrné, a proto moc záběrů na vlastní "tanec" nebylo. Navíc se natáčelo v době korejské zimy a ty sály byly naprosto nevytopené, když se tam Song pohyboval třeba jen v tričku či mikině a od úst herců šla pára, jak mluvili do prochlazeného prostoru. Takto by museli tanečníci cvičit nabalení do kombinéz, čepic, rukavic, aby jim neztuhly svaly či nedostali nějaký zdrav. problém. Jin Hong Seok, když "zaskakoval" jako model a po úpravách póz už byl fotograf spokojen, přesto se tvářil u focení jak vyoraná myš. A ty polibky byly rybí. Divná postava šéfky vymahačské firmy a chaotické postavení Jina jako zaměstnance v ní, když vlastně původně chtěl odejít.
Tak teď si řeknete - tolik výtek a takové hodnocení, ale byly to drobnosti a Korea patří ke gay filmově vyspělým zemím, proto začínám od desítek na rozdíl třeba od některých "začátečnických" zemí, kde začínám od jedniček a všímám si plusů.

wanted more of this dance based romance story
Overall: I really enjoyed the dance aspect, but with the short run time, I wish they had cut out some of the side plots/characters to make things a bit less rushed. 8 episodes about 13 minutes each. Aired on Viki https://www.viki.com/tv/37669c-you-make-me-dance and later turned into a movie version (don't think there were new scenes, just all episodes put together https://www.viki.com/movies/37685c-you-make-me-dance-movie) ; WeTV https://wetv.vip/en/play/h6ut21v6mukfymd-You%20Make%20Me%20Dance and Viu https://www.viu.com/ott/th/en-us/vod/339544/You-Make-Me-DanceContent Warning: held against will, manhandling
What I Liked
- dynamic/different personalities
- caring moments
- dancing
- intimacy
Room For Improvement
- flashback intro (though it was cute) with the time jump
- I really disliked the mom and wish that call in episode 6 had gone through
- what a character did around 7:30 of the finale instead of telling him the truth
- too many flashbacks
- the CEO character's actions felt unrealistic at the end
- cliche running scene

very enjoyable
am i crazy or the main lead Won Hyung Hoon looks a lot like Yang Se Jong ? i have no objection to this, just wonder. otherwise, drama is very good, so fresh and easy on the eyes... i'd watch it again any time. it contains only 8 episodes, also really short, so no time to get bored ... some sites compressed them into a movie. it might be low budget, or maybe just minimalist, but not in a troublesome way, it just looks more normal. nothing else to add to this, just watch it and enjoy, from start to finish it's nothing weird or outta place, quite the opposite. i should keep going to reach 500 characters lolWas this review helpful to you?
CLICHE AT ITS FINEST
I like how formulaic the series is, but honestly, it works for me. Everything is great: the cast, the storyline, and also the music. Although I'm not fond of his 'audition song', it works very well.The only thing that I don't like about this series is the plot.
It's rushed, and I think it requires a bit of information about the male leads' background. Kudos to the actors because they did well (even though some parts made me so uncomfortable; I can relate to it).
I recommended this one for those who want to watch intriguing concepts like this.
