None of my damn business
The best thing about this was the chemistry between the leads, it just worked. And when you have seven episodes, around 10 minutes each, you're kind of depending on the chemistry to pull through and lucky for them, it did.Because the story tried to fit ten different tropes into one series and I honestly couldn't right up to the finale if they resolved everything or not. You had your phone call misunderstandings, you're jealousy of an ex who's not really an ex, the kiss after a drunken night out, and of course, the moment where your boss discovers an 18+ webtoon on your pen drive which was supposed to have documents. And I'm racking my brain to see if they resolved everything as I write this review, and I guess they did..? Kind of, because once you get past the point where the writer and the audience (me), stops bothering about the story, you hinge on good acting, and good chemistry, which two thumbs up.
It's a K BL, the cinematography was obviously beautiful and it's so incredibly short that it can be watched in one sitting. Or you can take your time. It's just basic, trope filled fun and.. yeah. It's good, fun and you can watch it or not, it's none of my damn business.
(See what I did there? Yeah?)

they just sort of happened i guess
it's hard to judge something this short for lacking depth but i wish they should have just focused more on the actual romance like the two just getting to know each other/bonding instead of adding irrelevant elements like that other guy or the misunderstanding phone call bit or even the friend who is a manhwa artist. the romance would've been more believable that way even if it was short i think. i just did not fully believe the romance since in my eyes, those two are strangers. nevertheless, they're cute and i did see chemistry so 🤷♀️Was this review helpful to you?
Short, Smooth, and Satisfying: Thoughts on My Damn Business
A light and smooth drama that doesn't bore the viewer. The story is simple yet engaging, without being overly dramatic or intense. The music complements the mood perfectly, while the cinematography, transitions, and direction are executed beautifully and comfortably for the audience.What I particularly liked is that the focus remains entirely on the two main leads. The development of their relationship feels natural, gradual, and easy to follow. The way the series portrayed the hero's initially annoying personality-and how it changed over time-was very realistic and well done.
Despite being only seven episodes long, the drama manages to feel complete, with no missing or confusing parts. Overall, My Damn Business is a good, well-balanced drama with a simple yet satisfying story and well-crafted execution

Oh THAT Kiss!!!
This short but unsullied movie, broken into 7 episodes, is surprisingly effective and very entertaining. While a few cringeworthy scenarios brought it down a few notches, there is one big framework that catapults it back up into the stratosphere, making it exceptionally rare for a KBL. This is an obviously low-budget production that has essentially two main characters and only a smattering of other characters. Thus, it is character driven. This series will not move mountains. But it will entertain you. Plus, the kissing (oh that kiss!) at the end is undoubtedly one of the best in a Korean BL you will see. It just feels so right. It is a fun series to watch!Was this review helpful to you?

A cute, short web series
So, let me start off by saying that I understand some of the earlier concerns about one of the main characters and how he was portrayed. Personally, it didn't bother me that much as a viewer because I just took that to mean that's the kind of character he is in the series.But, the series itself...the two main characters together were cute. I also enojyed it when the co-worker from another section visited them and also found them in somewhat compromising positions- that was always hilarious to me.
While they may have met some small hurdles in the development of thier relationship, they were always able to sort that out in a quick manner, which is a plus for me compared to another series that I am watching and its feeling like its just dragging.
So, all in all, it was a cute fluff series with a few things that can be swen questionable but they still delievered in thier acting and story telling.

Two co-workers pass like ships in the night
I really wanted to like this drama. It looked promising in the previews. On the plus side, it gets right to the action without unnecessary side characters. This is primarily a two-character study. Jung Jae Bin as Mr. Han is unlikeable from the start. He's the cliche dirty old man stereotype. The twist here is Yun Su, played by Jeon Hu Bin, is the handsome office assistant instead of the cliche woman-as-sex-object character. There's never sufficient motivation for YunSu to be attracted to Han and, true to the way Han's character is drawn, YunSu is mostly repelled by his leering advances as bad habits like smoking and drinking to excess. Things get more interesting in Episode 5 when Mr. Park appears, but he comes too late to save this story. Also the female interest, the character Choi, is wasted. She could have been a confidant and advisor to Yun Su. In fact, it's never clear what their relationship is. The mysterious recruiter Hwang provides the comic relief, always appearing at embarssing moments. Given that Yun Su was never really interested in Mr. Han, I speculated that he'd end up with recruiter Hwang in a surprise twist. No such luck. The photography and settings are stunning, but the music is a bit elementary. They would have been better off with stock music. I look forward to seeing Jeon Yu Bin in a BL story with a stronger script. The kissing scenes were unusually bold here. Some reviewers have complained these BL dramas aren't "gay" enough but frankly any story where two guys are actually friendly to each other is unusual enough without getting bogged down in romantic love cliches. We've seen all of those tropes a million times in straight dramas.Was this review helpful to you?
Surprisingly good
I was pleasantly surprised by this short BL. I was a bit confused at first because I had a hard time liking Mr Han, he was loud, annoying and sometimes inappropriate but he grew on me pretty fast. I loved the acting , the simple story was tasteful and gentle and all in all it was worth the watching. I’m really annoyed that Korea does such good short films while the normal length series are either flavorless with stiff awkward acting or they don’t have happy ending (like Time of fever) .Was this review helpful to you?

Our Damn Business
This was fun. It was light. It was humorous. It was also very predictable. One thing it definitely wasn't, it wasn't boring. From the moment Jin laid eyes on Su An it was off to a great chase of how to get Su An interested in him. From massages to stretches to after work drinking. He tried it all. He was his late night bestie, bad mouthing Su An's exes as if he knew any of them. The one thing he was sure of, he was lost to Su An and the only solution, was to make him his. Su An, fearful of being hurt, was not going to be rushed or played with. Hwang, their office co-worker, resigned himself to be the unwilling viewer and with his penchant of walking in at the wrong time, provided some of the comedic charm.Jeon Yu Bin (Su An) is a good actor and together with Jung Jae Bin (Jin) had great connectivity. It was a pleasure seeing them interact with each other. Su An's blank stoic expressions were the exact opposite of Jin's continual happiness. Even when angry, his face still invited Su An in.
What I truly liked about this short series was that it knew what it was and didn't have grandiose plans. It kept within the boundaries of a light comedic office romance and every moment wasn't wasted. JYB seems to fit well into these shorts and anyone viewing any would not be disappointed.
It's worth the watch.

A drama that is easy to watch (and stress-free)
The classic example of a romantic comedy. It was the reason I came to like JYB. You could say the plot is predictable, but the actors' superb performance and the drama's own directing overcome that predictability.I absolutely love how their initial animosity develops into a mutual attraction/relationship.

Make the best out of the limited-time drama duration
It is another short but fun web series that executed a well-presented love story from a lovely pair. The visuals and the chemistry are surely top-notch. The leads can surely know how to act and deliver their script flawlessly.I was in awe during one of their passionate kissing scenes; he lifted his head back to continue the attempted kiss was insanely great. They got closer the more alcohol they drank together. Also, the “good night” from the fifth episode was charming.
Jealousy can make the romance spicier in a good way. I love that sudden entrance of the male second lead. Although he only lasted for a single episode, it was enough to add flavor to the romance of the main couple.
In the finale, I think creating a history from them in the past was unnecessary but it was still cool. Nevertheless, ending the series in another fiery kiss like they wanted to eat each other so badly was phenomenal.

Good way to spend an hour.
I liked this short and sweet series. It was an hour well spend. I really recomend watching it.Nice to see they can make a complete storyline with the friends and office employee in such a short series.
It was cute, sweet, with a bit of humor.
The visuals were good, and i liked the BG music.
And the leads had great chemistry, not only the glances they threw at each other but also great kissing scenes.

Focused on the leads
What I like about this mini series is even if it’s a short series they abled to showcase the love story of the main leads, they focused on them. I was just smiling the whole time, it is short and simple but wholesome. I hope all of producers of short kbl should do this if they can’t produce a big series atleast try to create a reasonable one, Im getting tired of watching long story bl series with lots of unnecessary plots, stories that’s not relevant to the main lead it’s a waste of time like watching for 12-13 eps with 1 hr or more per episodes and then you will just see the story of the main lead getting together and kissed at the end of the series. Ive watched a lot of short kbls and most of them tried to be very creative even in a short period of time making it unreasonable at some point and left a lot of room for improvement, but this one im very satisfied because they focused on the main leads. I didn’t say it’s perfect though it is really good for a short series.Was this review helpful to you?
