Good BL just wanted more
This is a decent BL but it did take awhile for them to be together. I was recommended this from a friend and it didn't disappoint. It had a good story and the acting was pretty good. I had seen Aaron Lei in History1: My Hero and this was sooooooo much better of a role/story for him. The chemistry between the actors was there, which made me watch it all in one sitting. The only thing that I would have liked is that the show was longer so that we could have had more scenes of them together in daily life as a couple.Was this review helpful to you?
Not as great as I thought but...
I really enjoyed the show overall especially the acting. This entire cast was top notch. My only issue was the overall main plot and the pacing towards the last few episodes and how drawn out it was. But I would definitely rewatch and recommend for anyone to watch. The two leads were exceptional(given the material they were working with) and I really enjoyed the side couple as well minus the odd childlike act the younger one put on. Overall despite the story plot it was a beautifully shot series with great music and stellar acting. Also Shoutout to the cat!!Was this review helpful to you?
The best drama and sweetest couple of the year
Best BL drama ever. It has a great message about accepting who you are without worrying about what others think. Also, it has a great message of loving with the mother accepting her son. The other message is that no matter the person you love, making a love confession is hard for straigh and homosexual people. This drama is very sweet and the couple has a lot of chemistry. Aaron and Hank are great actors and their scenes a all believable. Their moments are very sweet and would melt your heart.That episode 12 is all you want to watch after all the wait. Pd. There's an special episode.Was this review helpful to you?

I really thought Jin Yu Zhen and Shi Lei wouldn't get together and that, Yi Zi Tong, will get together with Shi Lei, which honestly I would have not liked.Overall I do like the acting and the story, I wish they did a season 2 as that'll be good because they could do a story about them getting married + to see if Bai Xiao Qian, Wang Jing would get married as we saw in the first episode that the Boss, Jin Yu Zhen, interrupted them. And to also see if Yan Zhao Gang and Wu Si Qi is still together.

not a bad way to spend a lazy wknd.
I gave my review this title because the show isn't horrible or anything but it could really be cut down to 8 episodes instead of 12. The actors are beautiful did a good job, and Aarons' body is a work of art. But it does have a lot of filler toward the end. I recommend this series if you into BL but are tired of them always being set in college. It's also the first time Aaron has acted since his accident and I wanted to support him. I liked the fact that there are no stupid misunderstandings keeping the couples apart and all of the female characters, even the more annoying ones, are pretty supportive of all the relationships. Check it out if you are having a lazy wknd and feel free to look on reddit for the episodes that can be skipped.Was this review helpful to you?
Absolute comfort show
To start, I love this show, it's become such a comfort watch for me, so what I say in this review, I say with love.Don't go into this expecting a "good" show. The acting, other than the main couple, is pretty bad. The story makes no sense and it's really just a bunch of tropes with light-hearted music playing in the background. HOWEVER, the main couple are very cute together (sickeningly so) and the show is just sweet and funny nothing particularly bad ever happens which just make this show so easy to watch. I can just turn my brain off for 20 mins and enjoy the rose-tinted world that is Be Loved in House.
Make sure to go in with the right expectations, this is not a show to be taken seriously, just enjoyed.

Strong beginning and lukewarm end
It has a strong beginning. Solid chemistry between the leads with good rapport. Good soundtrack, great acting. Simple but unique character backgrounds.I was really enjoying watching them build trust between each other.
Shi Lei’s coming out scene is actually one of the better one’s I’ve seen in BL. The acting was fantastic and emotionally impactful. Major props to the actor for pulling that scene off.
Sigh, I really enjoyed the first half of this and everything kind of went to shit when the ex returned. I don’t mind drama but I hate when the drama is all around miscommunication and indecisiveness. Stop wasting your time and mine.
And the ex’s motivations don’t make any sense. Like, you wanted to help him move on. Then give him closure like a normal person. Say you’re sorry you hurt him and that you hope he’s happy with his new partner. That’s literally the mature thing to do rather than playing weird games. What’s wrong with you dude? Sociopath behavior.
The ending also feels somewhat abrupt after all that angst, which felt unsatisfying.
Anyway, I’m honestly not sure if I can recommend this since it left me in kind of a bad mood lol.

This Show Had Me Say "I Do"...But Not Until The End
So, this show was a rollercoaster. Another haters to lovers type of storyline. But it never really got toxic or volatile which is good. At first, with Aaron's character Jin I was getting serial killer vibes with those gloves lol. But obviously that's not the case because its revealed about his allergy. Which did make for some cute scenes, but I question if that storyline was even needed? Because we still had the accident plot, which hits really close to Aaron's actual horrible thing he went through. Poor baby. Past that though, let's address the elephant in the room. You could never actually ban relationships from a work space lol thats a lawsuit. I know its a show, but there's some surrealism with that. It also never really had any repercussions so whatever!Hank as Shi Lei was very sweet and adorable. At first I didn't know how to take his character, but he progressively grew on me. Though Jin was still a much more interesting character. I realized after a few eps that I had gotten really into this! Mostly because of Aaron but still! Him and Hank's chemistry did show itself quite well with what we had to work with. However, this is where some problems arose. This show is wayyyyyy too slow. Our poor main couple didn't honestly get the time they deserved overall, whereas our side couple was lit. They were so good! If we hadn't of had them this would've been a complete bust. I like watching their wholesome and sometimes...not so wholesome interactions lol.
Another thing was why are we introducing an "antagonist" so late? Like really!? The ex arch could've came in eps before and had the plan with Shi Lei carry out. That could've added for more development. Although, that last episode was SNATCHED holy crap hello R rating lmao! I legit thought I was hallucinating for sure. They were definitely holding out on us until the very end. That's the chemistry I wanted to see and was clearly there! So sweet and butterflies for sure. Really solid ending and we get side couple engagement cuteness!
Finally, random things. The scene of Shi Lei talking to his mom about caring for Jin was precious. As well as, hello cameo I've been waiting for from our king Wayne! Cannot wait for season 2 of MODC!!! I would say watch this for mostly the side couple and then the last couple eps. There's so much filler that isn't needed. Also the soundtrack has gotten stuck in my head :P

good start but a bit anticlimactic
tbh i really really enjoyed the first few episodes but it got really repetitive and slow by the middle of it and the end was well yes happy ending and all but seriously it was so anti climactic that i was only half paying attention, especially the last few episodes. idk it felt like they realized halfway that it wouldn't be fun to just smooth it over so they added a problem that honestly had no damn reason to be in it at all. i get you were scarred from a previous relationship but the extra character did not need that much screen time. if you felt the need to have that problem there you should have made it a bigger problem. felt like a waste of time those last episodes.i cant really give it a bad review because i sincerely liked the actors even though the roles were weird and the story had a good base to it and it wasn't the typical bl storyline but and that's a big but, the rewatch value is solely based on the first few episodes that i actually looked forward to watching every week. the last 4 episodes or so i low key forgot to watch cause they just bored me.
one thin i have to say before i end this horrible review written in the middle of the night is that i really liked the soundtrack they chose to this, at times it was a bit odd when you actually listen to the lyrics but the vibe was there and the songs were quite pleasing.
if you are starting this series now i hope you enjoy it but don't get your expectations up to high cause i feel like that might have been my downfall.

Beautiful
I absolutely loved this show. From the enemies-to-lovers trope to the softness that they show once they're starting to fall in love, everything was perfect. (Yes, I also hated when the ex showed up, but I do think it was necessary for Jin YuZhen to get past his fear). It's definitely shorter than I wanted it to be (for comparison, the show this one is based on, Just You, has 21 episodes) and because of that some things were rushed a bit, but honestly that's the only complaint I have. This is a show that I will definitely rewatch over and over again. So beautiful.Was this review helpful to you?

all I can say is that... they saved the best for last ;)
It's a BL filled with several symbolic and sweet moments that's for sure.I would like to see their past more developed than it was, and the single rule overtook most past of the plot here.
There were some slow burn moments, and on some episodes given their misunderstandings and personal stubbornness it was a little bit frustrating, however, whenever they provided us with a cute moments or skinship it was enough to make us melt.
Yu Zhen and Shi Lei were the end game, although they struggled to be on the same page they really did delivered their all.
Meanwhile, Zhao Gang and Si Qi were faster to create a connection and realizing their own feelings, well Si Qi knew them all along, still he needed to tame his crush and make him realize that he had more reasons to settle down than to be a bachelor.
FINALLY a drama where the ML's ex isn't toxic as we thought he would be.
They had us fooled there for a minute or better yet a few scenes in episodes, but it was a quick PT that's for sure.
Yet it was all it took for Yu Zhen to acknowledge his true feelings all along, placing the past behind and chasing his future.
Both Aaron and Hank really showed the chemistry of their characters with each and every single episode, but the last one was definitely a fan favorite. The way they often stared at each other sometimes, and their little acts of affection towards each other, it truly embodied the theme of this story being related to the Little Prince. Cherishing and loving one another starts with little steps, they both learned through their journey what and who in fact was important, and how much they cared.
As a fan of the symbolic values of the Little Prince I was happy and surprised to see it integrated in the moral of this story, both with their inspiring characters but also in terms of the jewelry making and this one being called the B612. It was a nice touch.
JN Yu and Wei Po also revealed an amazing chemistry with their roles as the second lead ship.
This is definitely a series that makes you root for both, and enjoy both the main and second leads all in all.
It's a short and light episode series, although quite heartwarming.
The OST is cute as well as the thoughtful name of the whole series.
Because they were both loved in the house. Sharing one roof brought them closer.
And the part from the I Do which is the main theme song, worked out well in the end.
Definitely a must watch if you want to give this one a go. You won't regret it if you do.
