loved itt
I loved this drama..it's short and sweet...I'm not fan of very long dramas so this one was a short a plus for mefirst of all I haven't watched the original so idk if this one has covered everything from the original drama..but if it did cover everything then hatss off to the maker of this drama since wrapping everything up within 8 eps that too like 20 mins each is no easy jobb
the actors were all nice...the story development was nice as well...just before this I watched "the director who buys me dinner" i didn't like it since it felt rushed and offered no development...while this one being almost the same length as the director who buys me dinner offered great development and the romance also didn't felt like it was just there for fansercice...the kisses ahhhhh gave me butterflies ahhh
but one thing to complain about is..the second couple like I like them but it just felt weird..like sunwoo says he can't date GO because GO is dating dohyeon but at the same time he also kisses him???? like doesn't makes sense...I didn't like that u don't kiss ur best friends mann bruhhh

Fun!!!
I didn't have high expectations for this series because of my own pre-judgment of few episodes with multi-couple but this turned out to be a fun watch. I bursted out laughing at scenes I didn't expect to be funny at all. Jung Lee Won (JLW) and Kim Ji Oh (KJO) truly delivered their roles quite good. I didn't see the chemistry at first but my mid series, I realized I was looking forward to more scenes of them.Woo Soon Woo and Ko Yoo Kyeom is the cute couple doing a more serious tone in characters. Although KYK made my head spin with his relationship with his GF and then his response when WSW confessed to him, I stuck with it to get a better understanding of his character. (You gotta watch to see why it confused me. You will see it clearly). I hope it wasn't lost in the translation.
The production did pretty good with wardrobe and sets considering this to be a low budget series. Unlike other series, you wouldn't see same wardrobe for different scenes.
I would recommend this for any BL series lover. Fujoshis will have a fun time watching this series. This Korean version is my most favorite one.

Just what I needed
Starting off it’s an absolute watch! I watched the Thai version and had no idea they had made a Korean remake. Absolutely love it btw incase I haven’t made that clear yet lol. My thoughts on the Thai version was that it was crazy long and drawn out. Usually I have beef with kbls and their short ass episodes and time length but I will say it really worked this time around. I liked the second Male lead a lot better but the first male lead couple was also a good choice! There were a lot of times as I was watching one of the male leads and all I could think of was that dude looks crazy similar to Jay from Enhypen lol. I was like hold up *insert skull emoji.” Anyways I haven’t laughed out loud to a drama in general in a hot second so this was such a nice short drama. It’s nothing serious and outstanding but it is like me little baby now hahahaha. I’m also writing this review with little no sleep because I in fact could not go to bed without binge watching it but nevertheless. Yes you should watch it!Was this review helpful to you?
Cute but missed the mark quite a bit
I really enjoyed the cast choices - I think they're all pretty & cute, especially Do Yeon and the sister (was her name Yu Jin?). Their acting was a bit...plain, and it felt emotionless, to be honest. It also was serving early BL -misunderstands relationships between people and intense internalized homophobia until the last ten minutes- the whole way through. I wish more had happened, but the episodes were so short that not much *could* happen. I will say, though, compared to other Korean BLs, the kissing in this one was actually pretty legit. They kissed like regular people rather than giving fish lips. So, a plus on that. Beyond that, not much substance here to comment on.Was this review helpful to you?

Hard To Say Which One Is Better
As I was watching this drama I kept comeparing it to the original, trying to see if I liked it more or less. I actually don't have an answer to that because both are good.I do have to say that the Korean one was more fast paced especially if it is 5 episodes less and around 30 something minutes shorter so I didn't really like that but it is what it is.
I did find it nice to see two actors from the original Thai series (Max & Nat) show up even if it's only for a few seconds. I also found it silly to see two of the characters watching the Thai series.

Fantastic chemistry with questionable story progress
A good one for a remake. They did better than the original drama based on Thailand. This Korean version is more cute, light, and fun. As usual, casting actors with eye-candy visuals add more excitement to the audience. The main casts nailed their character by executing an incredible and appealing chemistry. At first, it was too bland not until they became intimate with each other. Both couples delivered impressive kissing scenes that were too aggressive and soft at the same time. I lost count of how many times I kept replaying their kissing scenes -one of the best executions in a Korean BL.Yet, despite all the good factors, it is hard for me to confidently give it a higher score as it has flaws that are too obvious not to ignore. The sequence of scenes felt too rushed, skipping from one scene to another without a proper explanation of the whole details of each scenario. Fast-phased it feels like they are cutting a lot of scenes and the ending is not beautifully made for a conclusion of a drama. The actors saved the show from at least having a decent overall score in general.

Simple Korean BL.
I think it's a cute romance, I enjoyed following the two couples. The plot is rather simple, it's boys trying to conquer their crush. The acting is good but nothing incredible either, the Korean actors have difficulty getting above awkwardness when it comes to physical touches while they excel in emotional delivery (I hope the Korean BL industry will continue to grow until we can have full fledged series). I would have liked it to explore more in length if only the episodes were allocated 10 minutes more, without a lengthy intro and epilogue.I think that to pass the time without hassle, it's ideal.
Small downside, the editing of certain scenes are confusing, sometimes I was wondering if it was a scene imagined by our protagonists, dreams or simply reality because certain characters switch behaviors very quickly.

Low-budget BLs have a special place in my heart
First of all, this was very differently from the original, especially "Tutor" and "Fighter". It felt more like little easter eggs when you find a reference to the original. But honestly, I loved this version and it was better than expected. Yes, you could really feel the low budget(thecicadas really stole the show), but that made it feels more "genuine" in my opinion. The acting was also surprisingly good, the actors of Jung Lee Won and Kim Ji Oh poured their whole heart into it. And the kisses, let's not forget them. As this is a Korean Bl I expected one "dead fish kiss". But I was wrong. We got so many good kisses?! (let's not compare that to the Thai version obviously)
I also liked, that It was really funny, just like the original (Saifah and Zon part). And I iust have to mention what was a lovable and adorable dork this version "Zon"(Jung Lee Won) is. The gay panic in his eyes everytime he sees Kim Ji Oh was also quite funny.
The question of "what is real, what is the novel" was solved pretty well, better than the original imho. However, the ending felt a little bit rushed. In addition to that found the story of the side couple a little bit confusing, I still don't really understand why Ko Yoo Kyeom acted like he did (he really played with Woo Sun Woo's heart for no reason?). But regardless, I did really enjoyed watching it and I will certainly rewatch some parts of it.

So fng confusing
What have just watched?I’ve t watched the Thai version so went in with no idea of the original story.
I couldn’t follow
The story didn’t add up
Also the way it jumped from scene to scene it didn’t seem coherent at all.
I know the standard is already low for bls but this was too much.
I’ve liked most Korean bls I’ve watched. They’re it that great but ain’t this bad.

THE REMAKE IS ACTUALLY GOOD
- I LIKED this remake so far because it's actually quite different from the original version. Although it's the same plot but they changed it and made it more Korean. I didn't like the first couple on the original but I love them here on the remake. Their bickering is actually funny instead of being annoying. About the second couple, they are the best in both versions. Lastly, I like the production and visuals of this series more than the original, this one is more like classic and I absolutely love old/darker effects on the drama.- What I DISLIKE about are the editing and facing of the scenes, sometimes I feel like it some scenes was rushed.
- OVERALL, this is pretty good when you think they only have small budget for this series.

1000/10⭐️ WHY R U such a perfect BL
I have seen many BL dramas but none of them were THIS GOOD… The chemistry between them, the kissing scenes ahhh.., the romance was romancing and the comedy was funny every single time.. I loved Jung Lee Won’s sister (Jung Lee Jin) she made me laugh every second of her screen time her acting is amazing.The couples fitted perfectly into their roles and I didn’t have a preference on which couple I liked more because their were evenly good at it so I enjoyed it 100% of the time, not a single boring or cringe moment.
I really hope for season 2 because this now my #1 BL. 1000/10⭐️
