Our Dating Sim

best kbl of the year so far

such a great series, definitely the best kbl of the year! the story is somewhat simple but it was very well done and filled out by the great chemistry that our leads have. sometimes its difficult to believe some pairings are into each other but i could actually believe they were into each other and wanted to be together.

solid acting from the cast especially lee seung gyu (ki tae). i could feel that he was legitimately worried and anxious about lee wan disappearing again. i found it very realistic that he would have this unspoken anxiety about lee wan leaving because of what happened before.

i also want to commend them for how they focused they were with the telling of the story. they focus on the relationship between our leads and don't really waste time showing scenes in which they aren't there. a lot of other shows with short run times still struggle with this. there isn't a lot of miscommunication (besides the obvious one) and the characters are pretty forward with each other which i loved.

watching the dating sim play at the end was so cute i loved that we got to see it! overall cant recommend this drama enough.

Cute couple but a little short

This BL has a bubbly feel to it, and all the characters add to this feeling. All actors were a joy to watch which made this drama flow very well. I do think that 15 minute episodes is too short for the story, especially with this cute pairing. I would have liked the episodes to be more around 20 minutes at least and for the first two episodes to focus deeply on the school era. a longer focus would have made the impact of the two being apart and then meeting again bigger.

There are two kissing scenes and they are both good. While the drama is short, the skinship is plentiful and feels natural. Overall, this is a rather calm and simple drama with no heavy conflicts or fights. Easy to watch in one or two days.

Short, Simple and Cuteness overload.

This BL really exceeded my expectations. I was not really looking forward to it but after I watched it I couldn't have enough of it. The plot is really simple and it is not really anything special. Friends who wanted to be more than friends got split apart because of a misunderstanding. A tale as old as time. But it handles the basicness so nicely. First of all I love how the intentions of both the leads are shown from the start and the misunderstanding got cleared up pretty quicky. I also loved how they became a couple quickly and we did not need to wait until the end of the episode. I also loved how they end up together at the end. I don't like long distance relationship just after they have got together again. And finally the one thing that I will sing praises for is the kissing. They actually kiss like real people and didn't half-ass it or shy away from it. Most KBL are pretty infamous for their dead fish kiss but this one served and left no crumbs. I also loved how they acted like a real couple that are dating. They do not shy away at the slightest touch or are coy with each other even if it is just the two of them. Hell they even do it outside. I also loved the casual romantic gestures like sleeping on the lap, hugging and a kiss on the cheeks. So I am very amazed. The actors did very well. They were so adorable and had a lot of chemistry. Really amazing. A must watch if you want to watch something cute and simple and won't take so much time.

I wasn't very into it at first but satisfied my expectations by the end

I would say, in the first few episodes i wasn't very fond of how it's going but by the last 2-3 episodes it got so much better to a point i was screaming in my pillow because of how cute they were!

[spoiler alert]
So,
I was not very into it at first but soon i fell in love. i loved the lil teasing shin ki-tae does in the first few episodes and lee wan's reaction is priceless lol. later in the episodes i felt that ki-tae's confession was a lil rushed and felt out of nowhere but they made it feel right afterwards.
For me the best part of the series was after his confession till the very end. it was fun to see ki-tae's efforts to get wan to say yes to him it's really cute. They were so adorable and i also loved the way the story went. ki-tae's separation anxiety was portrayed very well and wan's awkward behaviour was also acted out very well so hats off to the cast. the supporting roles were just as good too.

This might be a lil weird but i HAD to mention the kiss separately. IT WAS PERFECTTT!! I'm not a huge fan of drunk kisses but i swear it was so smooth we could feel the need and longing threw the screen. It was short yet tender.

overall it was very worth using my precious vacation days watching it and was short yet sweet and perfect for a quick rewatch. 9/10 from me <33

maybe everyone agrees with me that our dating sim is an extraordinary work from south korea. from all aspects of this drama is superior when compared to other dramas in terms of story? extraordinary with the duration per episode reaching 15-20 minutes, in terms of acting from the actors? The chemistry of the main actors in this drama is no longer recognised, from a cinematographic point of view? you can judge if you have watched this drama. highly recommended to watch. but in terms of the ost I'm not interested in listening to the song but that's just a personal opinion. I am very grateful to the hard work of the entire staff from the actors, director, and all those who played an important role in the success of this drama

My new favorite

This was the sweetest, most heartfelt BL I've watched thus far. Although it only has 8 episodes, and each episode is only about 15 minutes long, it was enough. I don't think making it longer would have made it better. The script had everything it needed in order to tell the story well. The acting itself, the movements, the emotions, the dialogue, all seemed genuine. The mini-game at the end of each episode helped to show the background of the characters and assisted with story progression, while adding a fun element and keeping the show from taking itself too seriously.

The story centers around Lee Wan, who confessed his feelings to his best friend, Shin Ki Tae, directly after their high school graduation. After the confession, Wan runs away without giving Ki Tae time to process the confession. Lee Wan completely removes himself from Ki Tae's life, leaving Ki Tae searching for him for the next 7 years. Upon reencountering Lee Wan, Ki Tae wastes little time working his way back into Wan's life, leaving Wan to make decisions that will affect whether or not they have a future together.

This drama helps to raise the bar for K-BLs, and for BLs in general. With a total run time of approximately 2 hours, I literally doubled my watch-time by rewatching each episode at least once as it aired. It was well thought out, well written, well directed, well edited, and well acted. (Too much? Am I gushing?? LOL.) I highly recommend this series.

Short n sweet ;)

This series is sooo short, it's among the shortest dramas I've watched!

This is also one of my main complaints: I wish this series was longer :(

But overall, I liked the format of the series, although the game aspect of looking back at their past felt a bit gimmicky to me and I wish that they'd showed more of their relationship in the past as it truly was because it also made me a bit confused.
Anywho, the production really made good use of the limited amount of time they had making the series have a good balanced ending but with a bit more time I know they could've gotten a bit more potential out of it.
I still liked the series because the acting was excellent and the colours of the series were super pretty.

Best KBL to start 2023

I just love this BL. it is the best KBL of 2023 so far. the story is cute and the romance is perfect. The actors are gorgeous, their play are on point. even though it is a short drama the story is fluid. The flow is constant and there is no missing scene that would leave you with tones of questions at the end. The acting skills is so well done that it's sad that the drama has already ended.

Since 'To my star 2' this is the only KBL that I enjoyed at a 100%. I hope to see these two actors in other KBL or any other type of drama because they are vey talented.

I highly recommend this KBL

TAE & WAN = LOVE

When I started watching this series I didn't expect that I would like it so much. Episode after episode it conquered me more and more becoming my favorite Korean drama. The series is fresh and sweet and looking every episode left a smile on my lips.
The story is beautiful and full of meaning. Tae and Wan are the absolute sweetheart e I loved them from the first episode.
The lead actors are very good and together they have a crazy chemistry. They managed to convey to me all the various emotions their characters felt.
Only flaw? The during. I would have watched 100 more.
I will miss them very much.

The ghost in the corner of your room said watch it RN

This is actually embarrassing that I’m just now coming on this app to write a review. ANYWAYS, this drama is perfect. Name a better light hearted Korean BL than this one. Go on I’ll wait. YOU CANNOT. This drama is the best example of making good use of their run time and making every second count. None of the supporting character were cringy and no one fell behind in terms of acting wise. All of the acting on point. The production on point. The chemistry on point. You want to know why another reason why it’s so perfect? It was directed by a WOMAN. Trust me when I say I do not waste my time on badly written or directed dramas just because their BLs or GLs. And if I did I’ll let you know in the reviews. This drama is a straight up 10/10 and I’m going to need a season two or some more dramas with them in it again.
