Que coisa desorganizada…
Sempre vi muitas pessoas falando e recomendando esse bl. Honestamente nos edits de 15 segundos dos protagonistas que você assiste nos reels do insta você se animava muito para assistir. Mas o bl em si foi uma grande decepção.Tive a impressão que os autores e roteiristas quiseram juntar uns 5 plots diferentes em uma história só, o que acabou fazendo com que nenhum âmbito do bl fosse bem desenvolvido. O passado como idol do personagem principal é medíocre, o personagem do modelo é vomitado na trama, todo o desenvolvimento do manager é raso e desinteressante, o Jun empresário tem a profundidade de uma piscina infantil… Talvez a principal palavra que defina o bl: desinteressante. A cada segundo informações eram jogadas e mal explicadas pro telespectador, juntando inúmeros plots sem desenvolvimento nenhum. Uma verdadeira bagunça.
O nosso casal principal de Jun’s foi o mais decepcionante pra mim. A química deles é igual a de uma porta. Depois de assistir você percebe que apenas se anima com as cenas de 15 segundos do Instagram, porque os dois atores são bonitos, já que a relação dos dois no drama é praticamente inexistente. O relacionamento deles começou quando eles eram crianças? Claro, mas os autores esperavam que o desenvolvimento deles como um casal fosse baseado em uma ou outra cena de duas crianças de 10 anos em um parquinho? Me poupem. O relacionamento deles não tem trama, não tem química, não tem NENHUMA profundidade.
O único ponto positivo é que você consegue assistir tudo em uma tarde e já riscar da sua lista.

The potential was huge
I started watching whilst it was ongoing like on ep 4 and loved it.It started with a fresh feel, cinematography on point and it was very cute.
Yes it had tropes but a lot felt new or not explored in kbl before, more open awareness of attraction and the scent thing. I'd of loved if there was more exploration of that, i mean their jobs involved scents it was perfect.
Chemistry was on fire, i couldn't get enough.
The idol backstory/sideplot was interesting, I'd of even liked seeing more so it weighed more.
To be honest several things i thought could've been better or explored more would warrant a longer series, there felt like very little time to take in what there was already.
Three guys were implied to like the main but i wasn't sure how real it was or if it was just to take up time and give tension.
In the end it felt kinda rushed, i wanted people to find out they were together but no. Side couple didn't become a couple either.
I was left feeling like the quality or maybe the right word is potential i was feeling at the beginning phased out into the usual kbl. Bit disappointing storywise.
Not as ground-breaking as i wanted but still better then some of the past kbl mini dramas.
Still loved the main couple, just wanted more.

BEAUTIFULLY MADE CLICHE'
I would recommend this BL if you are tired of the heavy dramas you've been watching like, crime set up BL or drama BL or even a non BL dramas. You cannot expect too much on this drama but it really gives a good vibes and leaves you smiling after watching it.To be honest, I kinda find it too short, coz this couple is so soothing in the eyes that I think I want to see more of 'em, I can't believe I watched all the episodes already. The only thing that is special in this drama is the moments of the couple, like damn, I love them ! I am obsessed ! but the plot , the story, the jealousy part, all common and predictable but I like it coz the story is easy to understand
About the aside couple, I kinda got confused on their role there but in the later part, it all explained so it is satisfactory.
I would rewatch this many times in my life, I wish to see this babys of mine from now on--more !

You just need to vibe with this
Tbh this is a bl with a lot of cliche and some other elements, don't expect it to be a deep drama because it is not.I think it was good, the production is decent, there's chemistry between the main ones, the acting is good and it is funny, so I don't think it should have a low rating.
Again, just vibe with this drama and you'll have a nice moment, there's not a big plot so you don't need to think a lot, just enjoy it

Adorable actors; lousy storyline
This series was disconcertingly uncomfortable to watch and got to the edge of being an entertaining story, but never reached there. Overall, it suffered, as most Thai BLs as of late do - the essence of not being honest, straightforward, or communicating directly. The obtuseness of the message is the means to a plot to a story. Saying what one means only lies through innuendo, sprinkled sparingly with humor. Thus, the story becomes a bore and only creates more unnecessary problems.You can read my full review at BLBliss.com.

This could have been a winner...
Not sure what happened. Bad writing? Young director? Small budget?As others have stated there are continuity issues:
- Let's have lunch to celebrate our first day together! Boss guy takes over ordering and mentions that everybody orders the same thing each time. But, this is their first time as a team. Desserts purchased. What happened to lunch? Translation issue?
- Coffee spilled on shirt. They almost take off their shirts but, never do. Yet - after dinner - it's mentioned he has his boss' shirt on and needs to return it. And, between the shots of when it happened and during the discussion of squishy and soft - the shirt becomes magically clean.
- Gossip from the interns about everything you would expect but, none of it comes to pass and there are little repercussions. One gets talked to and, everyone gets hired. Why was it even there? Tension wasted.
Not enough backstory and development of the characters. We know they got separated and the lead up was one set of parents fighting but, the other kid ends of moving away and while there is brief mention of why he chose not to contact - it doesn't float. Why would he feel responsible for leaving? Did his parents surprise him and he couldn't say goodbye?
Jun Eonni had a wonderful backstory that we only get hints of. Feels he isn't good enough to be loved. Doesn't realize what a great person he is. Is afraid of getting close to someone for fear of them leaving. But, we see almost none of it. We get the explanation of why the manager cares so much but, why explain it like that when there is love there?
Jun Director had a cliche backstory but, we see and barely hear of what he went through. Is he job determined because he was lonely? How can he be such a successful flirt if he kept to himself all these years? It's true that his drive and stumbling along show he needs to communicate better but, my guess is his fiancé helped him as a person to grow and learn how to be around people.
Surprisingly, product placement needs some work. While the wonderful The Wedding Plan snagged The Arches and more - this one seemed to forget who was paying their bills. In a way - that is good but, were the check writers satisfied?
I had to restart watching this twice to catch on to what was happening. I figured out the flashbacks, caught the conversation, and really paid attention. If you only watch it once through - you may end up being confused but, still happy at the overall story.

Quite stylish, very attractive, dreadful incidental music
Feb 2024Quite choppy at times, when scenes cut back too suddenly to Lee Jun's Idol days. I never got what happened back then; was just LJ sacked, was the group itself not good enough, or did he choose to stop?
Even though several scenes were a little stiff, overall I thought this was a sweet and yet often quite mature drama. Whilst LJ was very unassuming, lacked confidence and was naive/innocent, Choi Jun was accomplished, confident and assertive.
I thought the chemistry between them was very good and both actors came across as comfortable and relaxed in their roles. Their kisses as they became a couple, were lovely, affectionate and natural.
In fact, refreshingly, the weaker portrayal of characters came not from the gay roles, but straight ones.
I really liked that there were no vicious, delusional or overly jealous characters. Often in gay dramas, at least one female part is mean, nasty, clingy and a total bitch. There was a tiny inkling of that at one point, but it went in a different direction, thank goodness.
I loved both the supporting characters of Song Hyun-jae and Simeon, plus the actors who played them.
In fact the whole main cast were good.
It was a sweet watch, with one memorably funny scene that was also mature in its content.
I particularly liked that no big deal was made of being gay. It was a romance; 2 people, both eventually being deeply attracted to each other and going for it.
A really enjoyable watch with a very attractive cast. Keep this standard up, SK and start making them longer with more in-depth stories, please!

There’s definitely a Jun and Jun
I’m rating this a 7.5, but I would have given this a ten for some reasons. I love this show much it’s very cute and a light office romance and the chemistry was good, but I did watch Jun & Jun my sister and we all had that who should Lee Jun end up with. I personally liked Lee Jun and Choi Juns chemistry especially when they would often flirt with each other and because I like that the buff boss likes the little employee and their relationship was so adorable! but she thought that Simeon should end up with Lee Jun and I could’ve seen that happening in another universe since Simeon had feelings towards Lee Jun and was very close to him and friendly, but in this universe they were made to just be friends. I do think that Simeon and Hyun Jae should’ve ended up together even when he wanted to spend Simeons birthday with him, but nobody else wanted to celebrate his birthday with him and Hyun Jae knows how to keep Simeon calm and not be wild. Overall this show was so cute and nice, and I loved when TutorYim showed up randomly and my Mr. Heart couple they were so cute! I do recommend this drama because it’s a cute office romance that I do think everyone would enjoy.Was this review helpful to you?

Input of story..
Series was really good. All the Cast was professional the storyline was well..was this a BL. The two main actors must have had certain rules to abide by or theyhad no desire to seen with their shirts off and touching flesh
which many BLs are without being to explicit. To me the actors didn't connect and because there were three suitors after one person there was no real love story to follow. It became quite boring
It was 8 episodes long that should have been concentrated on the two love interests who were extremely good looking instead we got a mish mash of a story. It was OK but not a BL we are used to seeing in. The script really let down the story.

WATCH IT NOWWWWWWW
I LOVED EVERYTHING OMG CHOI JUN WAS SO HOT I LOVE HIM. But I have two major problems with this (actually one. the second is just me being stubborn):1) A bit rushed:
In episode 6, when the first kiss happened, it was a bit sudden, and also a bit rushed, I think (?) since Lee Jun was first so against it (kinda), saying he wasn't interested and acted a bit cold towards Choi Jun. I also would've liked to learn more about the 2nd couple since they just DIDN'T show us what happened after :(. A bit rushed.
2) SMUT:
THE END. HOW DARE YOU MAKE THEM KISS LIKE FQEIOFQEIOFJQIONEWO AND THEN JUST CUT IT OFF WHEN CHOI JUN- UGHHHHHH.
HELLOOO??? I AM HERE. I AM ASKING FOR IT. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I NEEDED IT SO MUCH LOOK HOW HOT CHOI JUN IS I CAN'TTTTT I CAN'T T-T :((((((.
Anyways, overall, I rate it a 9.0 because of the TWO MAJOR PROBLEMS.
But best K-drama so far, actually. I usually hate watching them because of the damn 1 to 3 hour long EPISODES (YES, NOT MOVIES OR SOMETHING), but Jun&Jun had at its most (last episode (8)) 33 minutes, and at least 23 minutes, so it was easy to watch (kind of like an anime episode, I'm used to those).
And the music wasn't so bad, I mean, I was focused on these HOT INDIVIDUALS so the music was VERY MUCH BACKGROUND STUFF. The cast was GORGEOUS (AHEM CHOI JUN) and the acting was good as well, except for oen or two of the side characters, they made sometimes mistakes or didn't act well.
But I would definitely rewatch it, but since I don't do that often (I already watched it, why should I do that again? mentality) I decided on a 8.5. This was really the best K-drama I've seen so far (also first one I've managed to complete haha) so I'm will go to Choi Jun / Ki Hyun Woo's social media if he has one (please have one I want to stalk your instagram). I LOVE ITTTTTT

Love their chemistry.
This was not a very special script, but i enjoyed watching it. The story of childhood friends reconnecting through a job and discovering the feelings they had as kids are still there.The chemistry between Ki and Yang is amazing! I really hope to see more of them together in future drama's.
I may watch it again sometime in the future.

Cute but basically typical K drama story with a BL couple
Personally i avoid K dramas because of all the light in them...literally each character looks like it has a halo above it also the story is not something we haven't seen before million times already.Now what made me watch it fully, is some well done scenes between the leading couple, showing their chemistry and flirtatious side.
Also we're finally getting more watch time per episode, we can see how the relationship develops and get more background stories.
Overall, it's a cute Drama to watch.
