The visual is only the good element
It took me too much time to get into the show, the first few episodes are absolutely a no fun for me, but midway of the series, it was getting entertaining and enjoyable. This is when the mother appeared in their house, since then I am smiling throughout the main couple’s screen time. My favorite scene is the accident kiss, it was too cute and good.Having such two handsome main actors, the show has the potential but unfortunately failed to execute the whole story.
Factors why I give the show a low rating:
- Poor acting
- Less workplace details
- Rough and messy transition
- Cringe and annoying side characters
- Too ordinary plot
- The insertion of unnecessary and excessive b-sounds
- SIDE COUPLE that has NO CHEMISTRY. The café owner is good but he’s partner is not fit for acting cute. I am watching their scenes with a totally no-emotion-facial-expression.
- Forgot to explain the past. It is when a flashback of Jin Yu Zhen meeting Shi Lei has seen but after that, no explanation has given.
- The title “I DO” is given to the side couple during the last episode and the main couple way of saying I Do is by the new rules created by Jin Yu Zhen.
Anyways, although I have a lot of complaints about the show, I have probably a good time watching it. If only they manage to show us more maybe my rating will be good enough.

I was scared the series was gonna be to toxic but...
Alright, I watched the trailer and everything looked so cozy but when I started watching it I almost stopped. So when Jin Yu Zhen was introduced I thought; "he must be such a toxic red flag male lead", but I was wrong. Jin Yu Zhen is just a misunderstood (even in the series) person. His actions are not meant to hurt others, but they do. I love how, I, as a watcher, felt the same way Shi Lei and the other co-workers felt in the beginning. They did a good job with how watcher felt while watching, every single emotion, I felt them the same way Shi Lei did.The side characters story kinda sucked, but it also wasn't really the main focus ofcourse, though, I still find it funny that all of the side couples got together before the main did. I'm not disappointed with how long it took for them to start a relationship, since their relationship developed slowly but they did act romantic. It was a bit of a ragebate on when they started dating. I was almost screaming each time they layed together and still DIDNT admit their feelings,
Aside from this all loved it!!

I wanted to like this so much that's probably why I so disappointed
I had such high expectations for this BL after watching the trailers but unfortunately I cannot stop finding it dull and boring. Productions is clearly a low budget one and ok I can get over that without problems if the story is well done and characters are compelling, But there is none of that either, the story is told in such a maldroit way that i cannot suspend belief and while watching I keep thinking why are the characters behaving this ridiculously?Also unfortunately the characters don't pull any emotional note for me, the most emotional I've felt it has been when they have shown Aaron scar and I was shocked to see the proof of how terrible his accident must have been, but that's it. All the moments that are supposed to be cute and/or sexy are so forced and out of an emotionally involving context that they are at best bland and at worst cringe worthy.
The only redeeming point I can find is that the actors are cute and seem sweet, so I am trying to give them an extra chance and keep watching, but if next episode (episode 5) doesn't find a way to make the plot a bit more balanced and appealing I will sadly drop it.
Watch it:
if you do not have high expectations which will probably make it a better experience
if you are a fan of any of the actors (they deserves support anyway)
if you are looking for eye candies which are often undressed
if you want something very light
Do not watch it:
if you are looking for a well developped plot
if you are looking for emotional attacchment to the characters troubles
If you expect a good production quality
if you look for great acting

I hope you have more seasons! I expect great things from this show!
It is a beautiful and wonderful series, which addresses interesting topics such as self acceptance, and discovery of feelings, and the fact of knowing how to deal with them. There could be more episodes, or maybe more time for each one.I found it strange that the ex appeared at the end of the season (which has ONLY 12 episodes with 25min each). I hope you don't rush the story in these last two episodes.
I really hope you have more seasons! I look forward to learning more about the main couple, about their future.
PS: I LOVED the mother's relationship with her son, and the way she handled everything. It was beautiful and necessary. I was a little tired of all the bl just going over that subject. Loving a person of the same sex is unfortunately still taboo.

Not intrigued enough to continue
There's nothing immediately bad about it. This time it's simply that it's too average for me to continue.The story is mildly interesting. The acting is average. The pacing is kind of slow and it just feels like a lot of talking and nothing else.
It doesn't help that the frame-rate of the video is too high so every shot looks like a soap opera. I need some motion blur. In order to get past that technical preference of mine, the show has to be better overall to be worth continuing. And so I'm dropping it.

A história teve alguns furos no roteiro, coisas simples que ficaram no ar, como o relacionamento entre o casal de funcionários por exemplo, a mãe de Shi Lei, pequenos detalhes como esses. Mas a atuação do Aaron e do Hank conseguiram apagar quaisquer resquícios de negatividade dessa série. O plow twist no final explicando a presença do ex do Jin Yuzhen foi um dos pontos altos, uma grata surpresa.O casal principal tem uma química admirável e o Hank com certeza é uma das revelações do ano. O casal secundário além da química, exala fofura e a interpretação dos quatro é excelente.
A história tem uma ost belíssima, atores competentes, é divertida e surpreende em vários momentos. Tem uma dose de mistério e de fogo na medida certa, e agora só me resta torcer ansiosa por uma segunda temporada.

Mejor que un simple cliché
El planteo es bastante simple pero muy bien elaborado, ya que el argumento principal acompaña siempre a los personajes y a la historia, y permite que su amor no caiga por completo en el cliché, ya que el ambiente laboral y la regla única le dan el toque distintivo a esta serie, que a mí parecer, está muy bien hecha y me gustó mucho.La pareja principal es muy valiosa principalmente por el desarrollo que va permitiendo vislumbrar poco a poco la aparición de sus sentimientos con escenas de lo más dulces y absorbentes, la ingenuidad y los cambios de un corazón enamorado son expuestos con tanta delicadeza que es difícil no encariñarse con la pareja.
Por otro lado, la pareja secundaria no tiene tantos matices y dejaron bastante a la imaginación ya que, al contrario de la principal, no mostraron con tanto detalle su desarrollo, PERO es incluso más dulce que la principal, y aunque en el fondo se que es bastante cliché, no pude evitar enamorarme de ellos y esas escenas adorables que volvería a ver 929 veces más.
La dulzura hace a la serie, pero tiene dinámica por lo que mencioné al principio, lo que la vuelve entretenida. Lo que hizo que la puntuación no sea tan alta (además de lo que detallaré a continuación) fue la actuación, me pareció muy mala, en general estaban terriblemente durasos y su mirada transmitía lo que una pared.
Cosas que no me gustaron con SPOILER:
1) La intromisión del Ex del director arruinó el desenlace. Si bien todos esperábamos su aparición para echar luz sobre el pasado de Yu Zheng, fue súper intenso y le dieron demasiado protagonismo, no ayudo a la pareja (como querían demostrar) si no que se metió entre medio, forzandolos a unirse por el dolor. Su presencia solo debió empujar al director a hablar de su pasado y abrir su corazón con su chico, pero el tipo ese se encargó EL mismo de contar el pasado de Yu Zheng, causarle inseguridades a Shei Leí y abrir las heridas del director de una forma súper cruel para "ponerlo a prueba", lo cual no era necesario porque para antes que el ex apareciera, Shei Lei ya estaba seguro sobre sus sentimientos, y, por otro lado, Yu Zheng comenzaba a aceptar los suyos, quizá si debía aclarar las cosas con su ex para "cerrar una etapa" y juntar fuerzas para comenzar una nueva, pero con la fluidez y dulzura que venía caracterízando a la serie, y no así. Lo que más me dio bronca es que al final este tipo de mierda quedó como el buen salvador cupido de la historia, y ellos hubieran quedado juntos sin su regreso de mrdd >>:(
2) Baches argumentativos:
-El justificativo para la regla única fue bastante pobre, todos entendimos que Yu Zheng quedó traumado por amor, pero ¿Que sentido tiene prohibir los sentimientos de sus empleados? Además se mostró bastante abierto desde un principio con Shei Leí, lo cual no es propio de alguien que tiene tanta fobia al amor (al punto de poner una regla tan irracional)
-¿En que quedaron los flashbacks de Yu Zheng enamorado de Shei Lei en el pasado? Siempre mostraban que el director tenía sus ojos puestos en su empleado hace tiempo, pero jamás hondaron en eso, por lo cual quedó bastante colgado también.
3) quería ver el matrimonio de la pareja hetero jsjsjs

Comme un soufflé qui fait "Pouf !"
Honnêtement, tout avait bien commencé avec des épisodes aux disputes animées. Encore une fois, les relations amour/haine ont une attraction unique. Puis tout est devenu traînant…Les personnages évoluent dans le monde de la joaillerie, mais c'est un univers qui n'est pas utilisé plus que nécessaire. Il y avait quelques pistes avec quelques directions dans l'intrigue, or, mis à part brosser les personnages dans le sens du poil, je n'ai pas vu de grandes utilités. La romance se développe, mais étonnamment, j'ai perdu tout intérêt lorsqu'ils ont enfin décidé d'être honnêtes l'un avec l'autre. En fait, c'est quelque chose qui m'arrive de temps en temps, mais souvent, le rythme me garde accroché, ce qui n'était pas le cas ici.
On compte aussi deux couples secondaires avec un temps d'écran raisonnable, mais sans grand intérêt non plus. Pour moi, l'histoire voulait trop en raconter. Chaque épisode est construit de la même façon que le précédent.
Be Loved in House avait quelques promesses, mais elles se sont égarées en chemin. Malgré une romance piquante, il n'est qu'un soufflé bien gonflé qui retombe rapidement.

I DO I DO I DO LOVE THIS BL
The best Taiwanese BL so farrrrrr asdfghjkl I cannot stress enough how this BL is perfection. The chemistry is just off the charts like ZhenLei is one of my top ships already. They're so fine together. The flavor is rich and full with Aaron and Hank, I fcking cannot. I hope this BL gets more popular, attention, and appreciation like it deserves! <3 Be Loved In House I do is the epitome of great writing given the not-so-big budget. I DO LOVE THIS BL SO MUCH AND THE "I DO" OST. Be Loved In House deserves more viewers and seasons <333 MANIFESTINGWas this review helpful to you?

A premissa é clichê, os funcionários não podem ter relacionamentos, morar juntos etc. Não é um BL cheio de reviravoltas, a maior parte do tempo tem um ritmo normal, apenas fica mais rápido nos últimos episódios.Mesmo com as briguinhas do começo, Jin Yu Zhen é bem carinhoso com o Shi Lei, quando cuida dele doente e vice-versa também, realmente senti uma boa química entre eles. Amei o primeiro beijo estilo homem aranha, sinto que foi no momento certo e a estranheza depois, eu gostei, deixou mais natural.
Particularmente adoro quando O pequeno príncipe é citado mais ainda quando há um contexto próprio do casal. Uma curiosidade, o ator Aaron tem uma cicatriz por causa de um grave acidente que quase levou sua vida em 2019, no BL usaram a mesma para acrescentar a estória de Jin Yu Zhen.
Geralmente não gosto quando do nada colocam um ex, mas aqui até gostei já que fez Jin Yu Zhen finalmente segui em frente, ele é até legal, gosto quando os ex são assim, mas realmente não era necessário tantas cenas juntos. Quem vê quer mais cenas dos principais juntos e até mesmo a questão do relacionamento anterior poderia ser resolvido sem isso.
Acho que se tivesse mais episódios o passado do principal poderia ser melhor desenvolvido, até mesmo a relação dos principais e os secundários. Devia ter deixado apenas como clichê fofinho, certo que me surpreendi com as cenas quentes, mas para que colocar sofrência quase no final?
Em resumo gostei, bom para passar o tempo e é leve, foi bem fechado, apesar do casal hétero ser esquecido no churrasco, não entrarei em detalhes sobre partes do roteiro soltas e falas desconexas, já que para mim esse BL cumpriu a minha expectativa no sentido romance, leveza e doçura.
Sobre o especial, já adianto que a maior parte é sobre Jin Yu Zen e o ex, ótimo para quem quiser ver como ele era antes e ver uma pequena interação dos principais e fotos fofas. Mas nada sobre o casal hétero.

Me ha hecho sentir
A veces creo que aunque el guion sea genial, si no te hace sentir, no se percibe realmente, pierde. Y esta historia puede que sea "simple" pero me ha hecho sentir, cada mirada y cada abrazo.Es verdad que se hace esperar aquello que anhelamos y cuando llega pasa demasiado rápido ( para mi gusto) y fin. Se hecha de menos el desarrollo de algunas cosas y se hecha de más al ex. Pero sigue siendo una bonita historia.
La actuación me ha gustado mucho, el montaje y el ritmo de la serie también.
