Just Okay
The drama series actually has a potential based on its story. The story was solid and there was a lot of conflications that can be dive into. Again, I did not expect much but somehow I find it interesting to watch because of the story.The Director Jun was appealing and has the awra that you wish would fell in love with you as well as the sanbae in celebrity world has also an appeal. The Idol Intern Jun feels off for me. I felt that his character was a little bit awkward, for me just to clarify. He acts cute most of the time but it didn't reflect much.
Maybe, I am not a fan of BL stories with slughtly fem feels. I am more on to the Bromance masculine to masculine story where the other one doesn't need to act cute. Maybe innocenet but not cute.
All in all, it was okay. Expected ending, I guess?

Very Enjoyable without too Much Drama
This is a series to watch if you want a little drama mixed with some funny moments, too.I found this to be a pretty good series with some scenes definitely pushing the envelope on some explicit moments.
I think Hyun Woo & Jun Mo really created some great chemistry, and once you get to know the long history these characters have together, you really appreciate the series a bit more.
Without a doubt the funniest moment in this was Lee Jun sitting on Choi Jun's lap in his apartment early in the morning. It's a long scene that they both do such a great job at, especially Jun Mo. I would love to see the outtakes of that scene, it must have been hilarious.
The ending was great and made for a very realistic scene.

Cute !
Koreans never fail to cook it was nice a mix of handsome and cute i'm sure the story is missing at some parts due to the writers trying to fit too much details maybe in to 8 episodes which is popular when drama is adapted to the point where some feelings aren't processed enough contrary to when the writers try to drag things all in all it's cute the actors are good visuals are good .-music is dull and non existent for me
-bed scene ok
-the fujoshi fiance though is lovely she is us

Could have been better
This pacing of this show was so weird/wild and all over the place especially in regards to the timelines. With a better script, better pacing and longer run time, this would have been one of the best KBLs because the chemistry of our leads was just 🔥. The leads with the 2 SMLs and the 3 female characters acting was really good. Some of the side characters or extras were over acting but over all pretty decent acting. The actor that played the director was such a whole damn mood. He was the shining star of this drama hands down. He’s facial expressions were incredible and they were giving hunnnyyyy.I don’t think I will necessarily rewatch this but I do recommend if you are looking for something fast/easy with good chemistry.

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.

jun & jun
soooo i watched this since i seen it on tiktok and thought it would be a good watch! it was okay.. the storyy was alright? i personally think it was a bit rushed? childhood friends meet after years, one is an retired idol or sum and the other a manger or wtv.. it was it bit odd since one WAS an idol going into an offce job and they meet or wtv and then i guess his modeling friend (when he ws an idol) or sum came out of no where to model for theyre new line of hair perfume? (his busness came up w an idea to create hair perfume or sum and needed a model?) i dont really rember but it was a bit odd lol. i honestly think he shouldve gotten with the maneger instead of jun…but das jus me. 🙌 i also think it ws a bit odd like ep 3/4 ( i dont remeber which ep soz ) choi jun asked him (lee jun) to help w his morning brick…🌚and they js kinda go on w there day? i mean he mentioned that interaction e his old manager but thats all😭Was this review helpful to you?
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!
