K-Drama 
muito fofo e simples !
de todos os bl's q eu ja vi esse foi um dos mais simples e fofos, obvio que segue o mesmo roteiro de todos os bl's coreanos, sendo lento e a relação dos dois evoluindo devagarinho, mas esse tem algo a mais que é muito cativante, a química dos personagens é muito boa!!qualquer cena q eles aparecem juntos se torna confortável de assistir (obviamente as cenas fofas)
uma coisinha so que eu nao gostei muito foi a relação do casal secundário, acho que poderia ter sido melhor explorada!
criei um carinho muito grande por esse drama, assistiria muitas mais vezes

Good lead actors, but their chemistry was off
Cha Seo Won and Gong Chan (the lead couple) seem like capable actors, but their chemistry was off, like they never really clicked as a couple; they didn't feel comfortable as a gay couple. Their -- as others have called them -- dead fish kisses and robotic hugs did not help. Do Woo and Won Tae Min (the side couple) had much more electricity between them. Heck, even the hetero, couple in the last episode seemed more into each other. There are other KBL series' couples that seem so into each other (e.g., The Eighth Sense), they heat up the screen.Great OST though.
I was also bummed that they did not say the word "gay" at all (at least in the subtitles I saw).
Worth a watch? I guess, but don't expect too much zing from the lead couple.

Romance at its core
This is truly a romantic drama about love. Love that gives you that heart fluttering feeling, love that's sometimes innocent and pure, love that can be stubborn and flawed while being sincere.The drama is so befitting of the title. The love b/w TaeJoon and WonYoung was so unintentional. They weren't even each others' type but ended up slowly falling in love with each other. When they first met, I was expecting the camera to really zoom in on their facial expressions for a few seconds as they stare into each others' eyes while showing us the instant attraction they have for each other, but nope— they just bowed to each other, said hello, and continued the scene. And that really set the tone for me, because it felt like the drama was telling me "Don't worry, there's no rush, we've got time". And that we did! In 10 episodes at ~35 mins each, we got a fully fleshed out story of the unintentional love between TJ and WY; a story with depth and a realistic plot progression.
Other comments:
I love how there was no hesitancy on Taejoon's part whenever he was talking to his friends about his relationship with WY. It sounds like such a small thing but the fact that whenever TJ talked to his friends (specifically, the cafe owner and the kiln sunbae) about WY, it already appeared that, 'behind the scenes', TJ had already been talking to them about the fact that he was dating WY and getting advice from them on his relationship. Also, there was never this "Wait, what? You're dating WY? But he's a man!" type of reaction or vibe from his friends. So although it's honestly not something that we should be surprised about, it was such a noticeable thing to me because of how much of a big deal I've seen other shows make this kind of situation. I just really appreciated that TJ and WY could feel comfortable in their friend group even though they weren't out to the world.
However, in the beginning WY did have moments where he's pretty much denying that TJ and he could like each other because they're men (from the top of my memory- in ep 2 with the chin holding scene and ep 5 where they were pretty much recreating the iconic 'Ghost' scene and WY says TJ would have probably preferred if he was a girl instead. So those moments were a bit dissapointing/cliché but understandable too since WY had, up to that point, only been dating women and he assumed TJ was also the same so didn't know any different. Eventually, his language/mindset becomes more open and he wasn't hesitant to be affectionate with TJ in public so I forgave him :).
Side note - Dong Hee and Hotae. Gosh, they were so fucking cute. DH is a classic tsundere; He's all hiss and scratch but when HT hugs him or does something sweet, he gets all soft 🥺. I wish we got more of a conclusive ending to these two but I understand there wasn't enough time to dive into their own romance. I just hope we get a S2 or spin-off that's focused on their story line too!
Overall, I really enjoyed this drama. I know some people complained because it doesn't have intense kiss scenes, and while I truly understand those comments (bcos I also love when the actors [whether BL or non BL] go all in on their nc/kiss scenes), I personally don't think those kinds of kisses were necessary here nor did it take away from the story. I strongly feel this way because I was able to feel the love between TJ and WY in other ways. Like through their hugs! They gave each other the warmest freaking softest intense hugs. The way TJ would cradle WY's head/nape and really sink into his shoulder...Come the fuck on, how could you not feel the love? So yeah, I didn't mind the fact we didn't get intense kisses one bit.
In conclusion, it's a wonderful drama with an actual plot line that serves a pure, honest, romance story and deserves way more than the 7.8 stars I see this has rn.

NEVER STOP
They nailed it till the end. The cast was so good. I can only give good reviews to this drama since it was absolutely perfect!Great acting skills and productions. The ost and all the other soundtracks were on point with what the characters delivered. Also way to go! Be it the dramatic, romantic or fun parts of the scenes, amazing. As a viewer, I enjoyed the plot and sumerge on the story. I could empathized with them all and created a beautiful connection with the flow of their feelings as they were maturing to an stage of romance.
No regrets. This one is on the top of my fav drama of all time. This one should be a must sense for anyone who can really appreciate what’s good. Waiting for season 2.

almost perfect
cha seowon stole the show.not only is he incredibly handsome, but his ability to give life to a serious character and not leave taejoon with a “flat” personality was so amazing. really loved his small details to really immerse into the role. apparently he also took ceramic lessons? really admirable how thorough he was for this role.
the only thing is I wish that the kiss scenes weren’t so bad. won taemin has experience so I kind of hoped at least he would’ve had a good scene in this or could’ve maybe given advice but alas, it isn’t that big of a deal.
the only reason I deducted anything is that the gaps in the story timeline were too noticeable for me. other than that, I think this was very enjoyable and I was surprised by how well gongchan did in a bl, as a longtime bana. I look forward to seeing more from everyone in this! they all did great and had very cute chemistry together!

One of the best BL drama ever!
I've watched many BL drama/movie, and this has just became my most favorite drama! I still can't move on from this masterpiece. It was like watching kdrama with BL couple.I love the pace, a bit slow at the beginning but it's good. The casts are perfect. Especially Seowon as Taejoon. I'm so glad Taejoon is him. He makes me want to learn pottery. The chemistry of him and Gongchan is good. I only wish they kiss a bit more, but I know if they do more I won't be able to handle it... (I almost went crazy when I saw a bit of their 'more' in ep 10) and also this drama is rated PG so-- yup! a lot of hugs are loved!
The osts are also amazing! All songs are good! Currently obsessed with them!
This drama is No. 2 in K TV-OTT overall list (from No. 14 to No. 2 in 4 weeks).
I'm so proud and amazed with this ranking, it's BL drama with only 30min/ep but it can compete with the other popular kdramas! (Taxi Driver 2, Queenmaker, The Glory 2 Part 2, etc.).
I really recommend you guys to watch this drama, there are also quite a lot of bad reviews out there but with that ranking, I believe at least you should try to check this drama out yourself!
I hope there will be season 2 next year!

A gentle love encounter
I was totally captured by the 4 actors in this drama.The two main leads were perfect as the main love interest. Each was given enough backstory issues to create the misunderstanding that almost topples their slow burn romance.
Their attraction is subtle and wonderfully depicted in their body language and facial expressions.
The confession is very touching and I could feel the anxiety in his trembling voice. The hugs are beautiful and almost make up for the dead fish kiss.
(BL actors and directors need to be comfortable displaying love. Acting is acting and if a kiss is called for then use your craft to make us believe it).
The second couple help make the ensemble even more interesting, I want to know more and see more about their burgeoning love relationship.
The production has captured the artistic mood with settings and lighting and suitable wardrobe.
In the story-line the ML Tae Joon is, understandably, feeling hurt and betrayed by Won Young's actions. What makes the difference is Won Young also feels wounded by Tae Joon's stance and pursues him to clear up the misunderstandings.
The director, Eui-Soon Jang, was an assistant director on the wonderful Coffee Prince and also directed the sweetly, sad BL Peach of Time.

Best slow processing BL I've ever watched
Finishing this series, I figured that what I like about it the most is that, it really took it's time to progress. unlike other BL's, when the conflict came it would mostly resolve at like 1 EP. but in this series, they took the time to not skip any detail that the audience need to know, they made the audience FEEL the problem, not like the problem was just passing by, they made it stuck unto you. and that is truly admirable when it comes to a BL series. I think this is my No. 1 BL series, love it so much!!!Was this review helpful to you?
A really sweet and beautifully made series!
The acting was excellent, and the casting was spot on. The story was interpreted so naturally, with the characters feeling genuine and believable throughout. I especially appreciated how faithful the series stayed to the original Manhwa—the adaptation captured the heart and charm of the story really well.The costumes and interiors were also lovely and added a lot to the overall atmosphere without ever feeling excessive. Everything was visually pleasing and thoughtfully done.
It’s an easy-going, pleasant watch with a sweet story, good chemistry between the characters and just the right amount of romance. Nothing overly complicated—just a lovely story told nicely and with a lot of charm.
Definitely recommended if you're looking for something sweet, gentle and enjoyable to watch.

nothing spectacular
meh. basic misunderstanding/accidental love plotline, decent acting, absolutely atrocious dead fish kisses. imma be honest, i really didn’t feel much chemistry at all with the two leads. like many others, the side couple saved this drama for me despite not even having that much screen time. their characters/dynamic seem so much more intriguing than the leads, the only reason i watched this was because i heard it provides a lot of context for the time of fever which im watching next and have much higher hopes for.Was this review helpful to you?
