Nothing bad but nothing impressive either.
I haven't really been watching or writing reviews for a few weeks but I'm back at it again!! I'm trying to complete my watchlist 2026 but my school is a b. Respectfully, I do not like K BL but do always end up secretly kinda enjoying it. Although I really enjoyed this series it did lack quite a lot. Everything was ok, just nothing impressive or mind blowing. The plot was adorable, but not special. Everything feels very average and I did expect a lot more. Comparing this to other Korean BL, the same reasons why I often dislike them is in this one again.I really adored the cute animations at the intro. The opening was in general super amazing and I love the creativity put into it. The director also made our dating sim, one of my friend her favourite BL and I will for sure watch it! The screenwriter doesn't seem to have another live action version of her webtoons. I actually read a lot of webtoons and I'm pretty sure I read this one a year or two ago. For me the main couple was so much more important than the side couple. To the point where I actually gave no fuck what the side couple did. Both their stories are average and you can kinda guess what way it'll go into. It's a bit sad it has such easy plots and also really surprising considering it's an adaption on a webtoon.
I lovedddd that Gi Seop got those hair extensions and did everything for Jin U. He basically started cross dressing a girl. Really reminded me of the song Andrew in drag. I also really dislike Hye Jin. She seemed so mean to Gi Seop but acted like an angel around Jin U. Actually, at first I really hated Jin U because the acting and personality reminded me of someone I do NOT like. Jin U ended up not reminding me of him and it was really just mz first impression of him. One of the problems I have with this series is the horrible introduction to the characters. I didn't understand what was going on in the first episode at all. It was like it jumped straight into the story. Maybe I was just tired.
I'm surprised I do not know any of the actors but I'm trying to get more familiar with Korean directors and actors. I hope Nam Shi A will get more roles since I noticed this was his first ever listed series. Immediately getting main lead is amazing though. He deserves more roles!! The rest of the actors also aren't in huge series/movies as main and I find that so sad because I really hope for more.
Overall this show was cute but it was nothing like mind blowing. It kinda felt like your casual BL but then with the slight cross dressing to impress crush (which I loved). I feel like it proves my point again about Korea making the simple BL when they have so much more potential. Since this comes of a webtoon it might've felt wayyy different in the webtoon and I have to admit, I didn't read the webtoon yet. I will for sure and hopefully I change my mind.

What a waste of time
There's little to say about this bl: it's ugly! I didn't like anything, from the story to the characters I found everything handled very badly. It's the first Korean bl to which I give such a low rating, but here they really produced a flop series. I feel like I wasted my time on a story that's leaking all over the place, and I'm talking about the one involving the main couple. Their story makes no sense, the two of them are awkward and I didn't like the actors even a little. Maybe I'll save the second couple who had potential but... never mind! The Koreans with this bl, for the first time, got everything wrong and created a cringe series regarding the main couple and an inconclusive one for the second couple.Was this review helpful to you?
Flawed in terms of romance but some elements of the story resonated with me...
An enjoyable Korean BL from which I expected maybe too much. I enjoyed the very different dynamics between the two couples as well as the way the series showcased characters flaws and explained why they acted the way they did. However, I wish the secondary romance would have gotten more screentime as it was the most interesting to my eyes. I also found the romance arc of the main couple a bit too expected and forced.The acting was okay overall but once again, I clearly found more believable the chemistry between the secondary couple rather than the main one. They looked cute but it felt a bit lacking somewhat. I enjoyed the variety in the character as well as the female role, a bit more atypical than the usual BL formula but still quite superficial (which is understandable given the short length of the drama).
Regarding the production, I found it pretty good with some nice clothing choices for winter. It was rather low budget but fitting the context of college romance. The soundtrack was good, quite relaxing but not memorable.
I would recommend this to people looking for a BL in a college set up. It is a bit unbalanced in the way it approaches some topics: it feel sometimes deep on some aspects as well as totally unrealistic on some others. Despite its flaws, it is still a nice watch...I just would have loved for it to leave me with a more durable impression.

This was fine
This is one of those stories that I feel like I have seen before but done better. Bubbly crowd pleaser meets mr ambitious... while I really did enjoy both bubbly and ambishus as well as some of the side characters I could ot really connect with this making me feel ok this was fine.Fine is good enough, fine is not bad, fine is still highly bingable but it is also something that just did not captivate me enough to keep my attention, making me check stuff on my phone followed by rewinding a bit just to think oh, I didn't miss anything spectacular, actually I did see this just thought it mite have been more... oh well back to watching. I am sure i am still missing something that would make this stand out, but I just didn't find it.
That said I am old, I have a cold so I am probably not the target audience anyway...

HEART WARMING...
I’ve seen a lot of good reviews about this series the first it was realesed all over social media, but i’ve always ignored it because i was just not feeling it... I thought people were exaggerating (cause that happens in a lot of cases) but luckly i was wrong. I just finished it, and from the first few minutes i whatched, i knew i was gonna love this (and i hate when that happens) i did not want it to end. It’s a fresh, heart warming, wholesome show.. It’s a show you watch while not worrying about anything happens, it’s a COMFORT show. I think it’s so cute & adoreable, it was very satisfying, i enjoyed every minute of it.I also loved the fact that kim jin woo has the same mbti as me (intj), i was like no wonder he feels that way... I understand everything he did. Anyways i absolutely love this.

Surprisingly good!
Our KBL is getting better! Really proud of this one!At beginning, it appears that the storyline is simple and somewhat shallow, but towards the end, boy, it delivers! It ends up to be pretty touching and meaningful. Of course, it's so cute and fluffy throughout.
I also love that there are two couples and I love the ending for both. I wish there's a spin-off for the other couple, just to see their progress!
I really enjoy this lighthearted, simple and sweet BL! It's pretty great given it's only 8 episodes. Not too draggy, but not too rush either. Actors are really good looking toO!

Quite Interesting
I love the main lead Ki sub and Ji woo made it worth watching unlike the 2 couple.But then, what's with the ending? Does it have continuation? Cos it shouldn't end that way.
After his confession, Ki Sub is say sorry, sorry for what?
I just hope there's season 2

season 2
Hope the second couple gets a second season, their story was much more interesting. The main couple felt a little to boting to me, but that bay be beacuse of all the flashbacks that also was a little bit boring. And some of the conversations with the female characters didn't really make sense - why say your inner most important fellng to a person you don't even know that well.Was this review helpful to you?
Short and sweet drama
Without giving any spoilers, if you're looking for a drama with both a cute storyline and two cute couples, this one is it. It's nothing super dramatic or suspenseful but I think it's quite well produced. I also really liked the two pairings and their dynamics.Considering the short length with 8 episodes at 30 minutes each, I still had enough time to get invested in the two couples, although the plot doesn't go too much into depth. In this case, I think that's a good thing because it doesn't start any major plot lines without finishing them which often frustrates me with other dramas. The ending ties mostly everything together nicely, though I could see some opportunities for a second season or a spin-off.
Overall a good watch and I would totally watch it again.

One of the top tier short K-BLs
Overall....better than you'd expect.Starting from the first episode, it may seem a little odd or forced, but the characters and their storylines begin to hook you in. As the show continued, I found myself empathizing with the characters - hoping that all would work out for them in each respective scene.
The show has a good balance of comedic, romantic, and emotional moments that don't make you feel bored or annoyed. The pacing was also perfect - especially considering it was only 8 episodes long!
Additionally, compared to other K-bls this one barely left any unanswered questions; all the backstory and character details were wrapped up nicely with a little bow.
If you're watching for the side couple,, unfortunately you'll get cookie crumbs. although there isn't too muchh airtime for them, all their character details and backstory are still prevalent, which is more than enough especially since this is an 8ep series, less 30mins each. Also the character development was poppin.
notes for when ykyk:
- the SOCKS.
- please take off those extensions
- tattoos are permanent
- COMMUNICATION IS KEY!!!1
- double check your meeting locations
- we want the doll merch
- the snooping??? privacy was at an all time low
- honestly... were there any locks on those doors?
overall, loved this. definitely a feel good short drama to watch especially if you are taking a break from angst.
(would've given the last 0.5 for rewatch value if it was free on viki)

That hair though
I have no complaints with our writing or casting in this series. The actors did a great job, the settings were nice, the music was fine, but that hair though. What in the world was wardrobe thinking with cp1's hairstyles? They were horrendous. Thankfully cp2 was presented to us in a normal fashion, but seriously, yikes.Was this review helpful to you?
Gentle and fluffy.
The plot and characters were cute in a fluffy, don’t take it too serious, kind of way. Jung Gi Seop Was the most innocent HIMBO, but you know he’s going to love Jin U so well.I think it was the first time ever that I liked the second couple so much more. Their story was more compelling and should have been main leads. I feel robbed we didn’t get a comprehensive finish for them, and there’s no updates about a series for them, so I’m guessing we just use our imaginations to make them a couple.
