You Are Mine

Potential not reached

I do not have a headline yet, but this show was good at the beginning and not so good at the end. That's all you need to know if you don't want to read the review. I will give it an 8.1 out of 10, which rounds to an 8 out of 10. Let's unpack. I go from episode to episode. Also, I am not checking my grammar because this show was too mid-tempo for me to care.

I saw it on YouTube shorts, and I love Ceo x Sectary stuff, so I fell flat on my face into it, and then, like, 6 hours go by and I see it on what I am currently watching, and I am just really confused. So now we are here. Cute little trope and cute start. I am a big fan of the cold personality but soft spot kind of thing. And the president is cute. I like him. Youtube shorts roped me in, and I started watching them because of that, no other reason.

We are getting some backstory on why the CEO has this cold personality, which is always fun. They live really different lifestyles, and its cool to see the polar opposites trope in these dramas. I just think that's always fun to have. So yeah. I hope we get some more background on their characters in the next episode, because that makes this way more meaningful. I also just loved this little episode where it was just them. The whole world just kind of stopped, and it felt like it was just them, which I always like to see in these. Uh yeah. I dont know either of their names, but the sectary is so beautiful. They did the little zoom when he was sleeping, and everything about his facial structure is just so cute. And they are always playing into the height difference trope, which I always like to see. So there are a lot of good tropes in this, and I have hope for this show. And that hope went down the drain as the episodes continued. The good tropes could not make up for the show's awful plot.

The episode was a funny, hot mess. I was also watching this in history class. He gets kidnapped; it was so damn random, oh my god, and someone gets sick because they always get sick in these situations. I was so confused and didn't even know what was really happening.

I watched this again in history class. It's kind of my thing at this point. I love them a lot. They are very cute. The kidnapping scene was so freaking random. How do you even kidnap the wrong guy? That sh*t is embarrassing. I think the CEO's mom hired the guy. She seems bad. I love the secrecy guy because he is such a cutie, and him bowing to his kidnapper was so cute. They are getting closer but are still in the awkward honeymoon phase of their relationship. I was actually right about the mom being bad.

I am starting to actually love these two so much. They are barely even in the honeymoon phase, but I am already hooked, and I love them because their setbacks have not even really set them back, and I love that about the show so far. I think the mom is going to be a problem in the future, for sure, but so far they are going strong. The general manager has to back off just a bit because he is making our poor baby uncomfortable. He does not know how he feels about him yet, and the general manager isn't making it any better or worse right now, so they just need to take things slow. They took it a little to slow and got on my nerves.

I’m raving over this dumbass show. I was watching this during Spanish class because we could use our computers. This show is fucking amazing. The general manager is so sexy. I’m on my knees for this man. They are getting so cute, and he’s falling for him, and I love it. Feral for general manager, bro. These episodes were watched months apart, which is why my reviews are so different. They both had really good visuals; I will give them that.

I feel like we keep going back and forth with these two because our baby doesn't know how he feels about the general manager yet. I love the random trips in the middle of the show to strengthen their relationship; that's one of my favorite things because nothing bad happens and everything is just pure vibes. I love to see. I'm stalling and don't want to watch only friends, so I'm trying to get some other shows caught up. This show has a lot of potential for a good ending, and I hope it achieves that in the next three episodes. Hopes went down the tube; only friends were better. Despite them not even being comparable, I watched this with only friends, and I regret it because it was worse.

This was a lazy episode, I feel. They have been dragging out the whole resignation thing, and then he finally does it, and we have two episodes left. They dragged this one on for the full episode and didn't add any more plot. Besides that, it would be fine if the show was longer, but it is not, so it is not fine. I don't really have anything to say. Why were they sleeping in the same bed as the final straw? Then they both like each other; they are both just too stupid to realize it. Cool; hopefully they bring it home for the next episodes. It was not brought home until the final 23 minutes of the show.

If Bro resigned, why does he keep ending up back in the office? We are nearing the end of this show, and at this point, I am getting more questions than answers. This show had a lot of poetry, but now we are almost at the final episode, and they are going back and forth, and I am really confused. I forgot everyone's names, but the secretary was told by the vice president that the general manager changed the contract because he liked him or something like that, and instead of worrying that his boss just did something really illegal, he was like, "He wants me so bad." That was such a good mood, and it was the only good thing that came out of this episode.

We got a rushed, medium, super happy ending. Our couple ended up together, and they were very aware that they were going to be broke once leaving the company, but money didn't matter as long as they were in love. The mom came around in the end, which was good. I was thinking she wasn't going to, but she did, and yeah. good ending, just rushed, and we only got to see our couple happy for 23 minutes, and then the show just ends, which was annoying. This was an okay show, but the ending was lowkey, which made me disappointed. I would not recommend this show. Don't waste your time; its not that good. Okay bye!

The story between a boss and general manager

You are mine is went through so many plots that it made it somewhat enjoyable in my opinion. I literally was going insane whenever Shang Zhou would literally flirt with Shun Yu like it was that good. I’m sorry, but I have to bring up that bull cut/Edgar cut, but it kind of looks fire on Shun Yu. It was so obvious that Shang Zhou was literally in love with Shun Yu, because when Shun Yu was sick he was still trying to show his cold side, but literally couldn’t anymore and was so in love with him that he stayed with him, and when he also got kidnapped and they both shared their stories and got super duper close to each other. I have to say that Lisa helped carry this show she was amazing at being a sister and a team leader at the same time. I was literally gonna bawl my eyes out once Shang Zhou said “Your free now to leave whenever you want” because that’s when Shun Yu finally realized his feelings and that Shang Zhou also had feelings for him, but doesn’t know how to explain it. Also When Shun Yu literally got into a fight with Shang Zhou’s mom was insane like I was cheering for him once he ripped up the 10 million check and dropped it on her face, because he killed it, like I support him 100% once he did that. I’m sorry that I’m writing so much, but it shows how much this series was enjoyable, so I definitely recommend this show to anyone who wants to watch it because it was good.

I quite liked this one. The main characters are charming and a bit quirky, bringing a good sense of humour to the story. The actors playing the leading roles have great chemistry together, which I value and appreciate A LOT, and get along really well in their funny and awkward situations that they are put in. I have to say that it becomes a bit cliche at times, but even though the story includes some familiar themes and scenarios, they are presented in a way that feels fresh in a way. The supporting characters are enjoyable too, they just make it for your while. So, I would definitely recommend the show to anyone who likes the boss x employee, rich man x poor man, work setting types of shows.

ADORABLE FLUFFY STORY

FIRST OF ALL I WAS SURPRISED ON THE RECENT RATING OF THIS SERIES WHICH IS 7.6 AND I THINK IT DESERVES AT LEAST 8 OR 8.5.
I DID SAY THIS IN THE PREVIOUS TAIWANESE BL THAT RECENTLY ENDED (STAY BY MY SIDE) THAT TAIWANESE IS STEPPING UP THEIR GAME IN THE BL INDUSTRY AND IN MY OPINION IT'S WORKING. SIMPLE, CONSISTENT & STRAIGHT FORWARD STORY AND SOMEHOW I AM ASKING FOR LONGER RUNTIME BECAUSE IT ONLY LASTS 23-25 MINS AND I FEEL IT DESERVES SEASON 2 OR SOMETHING.

GOING TO SHANG ZOU AND SHUN YU, THEY ARE INDEED MEANT TO PLAY THIS ROLES, AND AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICES THEIR HEIGHT DIFFERENCES?? IT'S SO CUTE AND ADORABLE, SHUN YU IS LIKE A LOST PUPPY, LIKE A SUBMISSIVE PUPPY WHO OBEYS HIS MASTER'S ORDERS...LOL SHANG ZOU ON THE OTHE HAND IS LOOKING SO HOT, HE IS FIRM YET HAD A SOFT SPOT FOR SHUN YU WHICH MAKES THIS SERIES SO ADDICTIVE TO WATCH. BOSS-EMPLOYEE TURNED INTO LOVERS IS SOMEWHAT OVERRATED BL CONCEPT BUT IF DONE WELL, STILL WORKS AND "YOU ARE MINE" IS ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLE.

IT'S STILL NOT YET FINISHED BUT ALL I CAN SAY IS WE NEED SEASON TWO NOW!!!!!!! LOL

Very cute BL employee/boss (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

PLOT: The MC becomes an employee at a large company and secretary to the irascible and demanding CEO (whom all secretaries avoid), the ML. Bonds will gradually form between the ML and the MC as events unfold: kidnapping, ML's courtship, resignation, families.

+++ The CL is very cute, with many sweet scenes. Mao Chi Sheng is perfect as the uptight CEO, and Hsiao Hung's smile is so adorable. I would love to see them again (as a couple or not) in longer series.
+++ A touch of humor with the employees and the VP.
+++ Lively direction, no dull moments, well-executed. Believable storyline.
+++ Pleasant OSTs.

=> Message of tolerance and humanity. Don't miss the particularly sweet special episode :)

Très cute BL employé / boss (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

PLOT: Le MC devient employé ds une grosse Cie, et secrétaire du CEO irascible et exigeant (que ts les secrétaires fuient), le ML. Des liens vont se nouer peu à peu entre le ML et le MC, au fil des évènements : kidnapping, ML qui fait la cour, démission, familles.

+++ Le CL est très mignon, avec bcp de sweet scenes. Mao Chi Sheng est parfait en CEO coincé et le sourire de Hsiao Hung est tellement craquant. J'aimerai bcp les revoir (en couple ou non) dans des séries plus longues.
+++ Une touche d'humour avec les employés et le VP.
+++ Réalis° vive, sans temps mort, bien menée. Storyline crédible.
+++ OSTs agréables.

=> Message de tolérance et d'humanité. Ne pas rater l'épisode spécial particulièrement sucré :)

Great happy ending!

OMG…. Love this short story! I watched it in one day and I want more. The acting is so great to the point that they sold the character from the manga. Hsiao Hung (Yao Shun Yu character) was so lovely and innocent that I felt in love whit him (beside that he is really good lucking). The way he brought to life such an innocent and loving character it really takes talent. The way he cried and watered his eyes was just perfect. Parker Mao (Xia Shang Zhou) I was really not sure about his character and how he did it, but half of the episodes and he was all in. The way he made those expressions but as well, he went all in on those kisses, I honestly think he was the one that made Hsiao Hung push himself on those intimate scenes.

Spoiler-ish: I think is very important to let you know that it does have a happy ending and with the special, it really brought everything together. I wish in a way, that they make a second part, but at the same time, the way it ended was perfect. I’m not sure why people on kisskh are so negative on everything. They can see the best Drama of their lives and they will still give it a 7. If you go to Viki (another website), you will find a more accurate rating. But don’t take my word, watch the show and let me know 😊.

Very well done - relatable - enjoyable

Update: I have seen this three times now. I still love it. My only qualm is that there is an appearance that the ML likes guys because of the trauma he went through. That is a dangerous road to travel and feeds into the nonsense that there is some choice involved. Forgivable but, would have liked to have some of the lines altered to show that what he felt younger was confirmed after working with him so closely. What saves it is how much they always care for each other - and - it feels real.

I thought this one was very well written. Also, no real wasted time on sideline stories. The extra "stuff" always supports the main story. I loved and appreciated how the Mother had a believable transformation. Time and seeing for herself was all she needed. I could and most likely will - watch this again when I am in the mood for a story of two polar opposites finding what they need in each other. And, finding out that they are worthy of love - loving others and well as learning to love themselves.

Silly Sexy Little Romp

Another completely biased review from me to you.

This short series seems to get a bit of hate, but I have to say I loved it. Even though the one ML is a walking talking redder than the Sorcerer's robe red flag, he's still sexy as hell. And the other ML is a cute but dim little chipmunk. The 2 of them together strangely have a ton of chemistry. Lots of nice skinship. The shower scene....

The story is not ground breaking. There are some bits in there that you wonder why they were added. Watch it and see what you think.

All in all I really enjoyed the hell out of this one too. Turn off your brain, stop criticizing so much, smile and enjoy!

Seri ke-dua dari VBL Series

Series ini merupakan seri ke dua dari BL VBL ; mungkin punya beban yang agak berat karena harus mempertahankan ke popularitasan seri VBL yang pertama yaitu "stay by my side". Dari segi cerita, sebenernya seri yang satu ini cukup bagus ya - mempunyai latar belakang inti yaitu sekretaris yang disukai oleh boss-nya sendiri, series ini lebih menunjukan nuansa "happy mood" booster dibandingkan cerita yang serius. Series ini menurutku punya scene yang ringan, walaupun beberapa episode menunjukan hal-hal yang menegangkan, beberapa scene terlihat lucu, dan sangat menghibur. Dari segi warna menurutku sangat flat ya, entah tidak terlalu excited. Dari segi dialog dan alur cukup bagus ya, mudah difahami dan menurutku tidak terlalu dipaksakan atau saya tidak merasakan gap time yang berarti dari satu episode, ke episode lainnya. Ceritanya yang sederhana membuat series ini sangat rekomendasi untuk ditonton ketika anda memiliki waktu luang setelah bekerja atau aktivitas sehari-hari lainnya, effek moodboosternya menurutku lumayan terasa. Satu hal yang kurang dari series ini menurutku adalah: series ini hanyalah sebuah mini series yang mungkin tidak terlalu punya "life meaning" yang berarti.
