Our Dating Sim

Simple, sweet and short ... as all korean BLs

It's a lightweight BL series, very simple, very cute, easy to understand and follow up with, not much of complications or dramatic scenes.
I watched it in one evening because Korean BLs are always short and i hate that about them, they do not give you time to get invested in the story or developp any sort of attachement to the characters, before you know it..tada it's Over.
I gave the story a 9, because the idea was sorta kindaa different and original
But i didn't give the series an 8, because again the white washing of the skin of these characters literally burns my eyes, they're glowing, you have a feeling like you're watching angels not human beings and that takes away my ability to relate to them.

Me hubiese gustado que sea mas largo :( maldita seas bls coreanos de 8 capitulos con 15 minutos de duracion sos mi peor enemigo
Los dos actores muy cute muy bonitos, uno me hizo acordar a hyunjun (ex-tbz), y el otro a sunghoon (enhypen) pero mas que nada porque hablan igual? thats sunghoon fr. bueno como no rescate sus nombres salvo que por alguna razon en la ufi se llaman eddie e ian, los voy a llamar como sus parecidos.
Hyunjun es tan cute I love when men are insane y con justificacion. El hecho de que estuvo buscando 7 años a sunghoon thats so hot (y triste flaco MOVE OOON). me gusto y me puso sad que le haya quedado un trauma de abandono por la culpa de sunghoon, y mas que se haya puesto a llorar al frente de sunghoon cuando se lo dijo. pero a la vez dale chabon medio creepy lo tuyo porque ahora sunghoon no va a irse de tu vista por miedo a generarte algun otro trauma.
Igual tampoco me gusto como sunghoon desde la primera entrevista en la ufi dijo que se iria a otra empresa a mitad del proyecto si lo llaman sos bobo acaso queres no laburar nunca mas de tu vida?
Bueno nada muy cute, me gustaron sus interacciones, que hubo bastante physical touch, todo ese jueguito de sunghoon de hacerse el dificil con hyunjun y despues decirle que salgan asi de una porque eso es realmente lo que el queria, como hyunjun parecia un nenito hiperactivo al lado de sunghoon y siempre se la pasaba corriendo o saltando o jugando a abrazar a sunghoon o tocando sus patas con sus patas :( so cuteeeeeee muy wholesome y a la vez entretenido no me dormi en vivo ni una vez!!

Shorts are too short...

Shorts are too short...When i like them!
To me the story was top notch. I should also say that I have issues with giving shorts a 10 even if I think it is all round top notch. It is a conundrum, that I punish a short for being short because I wanted more time with the story, and the characters. However, with this series I believe the delivery was inconsistent. Both in story and character delivery. (Ok say something nice)
I really liked the secondary characters. Especially the CEO.
With the leads I feel that Shin KT actually felt more for Wan, even though the story line tries to tell the story to the contrary.
Again, I loved the story. A long and maybe a better fit, but I always say that about shorts I like.

Is it too short or just enough?

*happy ending*

Just like other reviews, I might say that this is one of the best BLs out there. I really love the focus on just one couple. And the angst of unrequited love felt like I was watching Sekaiichi Hatsukoi but with a more proactive protagonist. Ki Tae really went all out for Wan and I'm loving it so much.

The drama at ep 7 was chef's kiss. Though I wanted this to be longer, I also felt that the pacing and the length was just enough to keep my toes curled for excitement and not get bored of the series.

Is it just me, but game program k-bls really hit hard for me. Just like with Semantic error.

This series is just so nostalgic, feel-good, sweet and heartwarming without the excessive nc scenes. Definitely a must watch!

This IS the best Korean BL!

...here I am crying after episode 8, because this series is over. Easy, natural and purely romantic - probably describes this story best. The chemistry between the main leads alone deserves a 10/10 and is the reason why this for me is the best Korean BL I have ever seen. The acting of Lee Seung Gyu in the last two episodes gave me chills. But the whole cast is just so wholesome.

Also, can we acknowledge the storytelling? Finally, a BL without any toxic, unnecessary sidekicks. Finally, we have a couple who talks about their fears and shows vulnerabilty! Finally, a story about two people who needed to find their own truth, what works for them...and then found and supported each other.

And THANK YOU for giving us realistic, soft and heartwarming kisses in a Korean BL. Nothing compares to the emotions that these two main leads portray through their touches.

So please PLEASE bless us with a season 2 to enjoy their relationship journey! Also I'd love to get to know the supporting cast better. The work colleagues were all so lovable - and we need to know what their high school friends are thinking, right? They all seem so nice. I am in love 💜

Putting this on my S-tier kdrama BL

March 30, 2023

U heard it folks, this drama just boosted its way into my higher level of Kdrama BLs.

Our Dating Sim, ate, devoured, served, and slayed for 2023.

I love the cast and our two lovely leads, Mr. Ed and Mr. Ian

I will be going by their English name for the purpose of this review.

Ed ate, he is the standard. I want him, I need him. He needs to be in life.

Ian, he slayed, I love their communication with each other. NO STUPIDS MISCOMMUNICATION in the present moment. I will be excusing what happened 7 years ago...ahahahha


This is such an informal review but I am so sad this show ended. I am still not ready to let this one go.

See yalls back when I rewatch!

PLEASE WATCH IT, gives so much dopamine and serotonin.

Predictable storyline

Our Dating Sim starts off with an interesting first episode but turns out to be terribly predictable in how it unfolds. The leads have some chemistry but the tension didn’t feel as tense as it should have most of the time.

Perhaps many people will find this thrilling because it’s about the one who got away and returned, making the reunion even sweeter and more satisfying.

But was it just the way I liked? Hmm, not quite. The relationship wasn’t particularly memorable and the story got way too predictable and stale after a while.

There could have been more depth to their characters instead of taking a shortcut with the cliche (and also unrealistic??) “I have always liked you” / "I have been waiting for you to return" narrative.

Sooo cute!!

I wish it was longer. it was the cutest. There was minor plot hole that didn't make sense but it was still cute. 10/10 will watch again.
The actors' chemistry was amazing. I need them in more series. I liked that they did things a little differently than other BLs with the same premise. Definitely a comfort BL.

Pros: >Great actors
>Great couple chemistry
>Fast Pace
Cons: >not long enough
>A little confusing in the very
beginning

Simple, cute and great acting

i just love a Korean bl drama where both actors feel comfortable and chill with each other, especially during kiss scenes etc.. This sadly happens to rarely but Our Dating Sim did everything right with choosing these actors. I loved their chemistry in the drama, the simple but cute storyline and especially the little scenes at every end of each episode that made me smile everything. This is a great quickwatch I can recommend to everyone here. But I also loved the side characters and the portraying of how difficult love sometimes can be. It wasn't too much sugar-coated but it had both things - the realistic side and the beautiful side of love.

7 years of longing

I cannot deny it...one of the best Korean BL dramas.

I love how the 2 MLs are so natural in their interaction between them. The portrayal of the characters was also top notch. It was so enjoyable to watch the 2 of them being playful, emotional and lovey dovey.

The acting was amazing especially in Episode 7 where Shin Ki-Tae cried his heart out thinking that Lee Wan had disappeared again. It was so emotional that it makes you want to reach out and hug him tight.

As the story slowly unfold, we realized that Ki-Tae's feeling for Lee Wan was mutual and Lee Wan mistook his reaction as being negative. Throughout the seven years, Ki-Tae was desperately looking for Lee Wan. What a waste of seven years.

It was also interesting to note that the role changes after seven years whereby Shin Ki-Tae became the one who was deeply in love with Lee Wan. He was so adorable and it was fun watching him going after Lee Wan.

My only complaint is...it is too short! It would have been great if the series had at least 20 episodes of 30 minutes each. Sigh...wishful thinking!

So people...watch the drama and fall in love with Shin Ki-Tae and Lee Wan! And after that...wished for more...wink.
