Kiss Me with Unspoken Love

That was strangely entertaining

That was so much fun and it was so funny. Not in the "I had a great time because it's quality work" kind of way, but the "it's so bad, it's good" kind of feeling.

The story was actually bonkers. I've seen plenty of revenge plot where their ideas are also completely over the top and dramatic, and this was just the same, but it was actually bonkers in the way they executed it. Badly, of course, each episode had a new plotline almost, and some of them didn't even bother being a continuation, it jumped to a whole new, unrelated plot. But it was so insanely executed that it was funny.
The guy basically has a one night stand with his professor, boss and aunt's fiancé (it's the same dude, he just has a lot of designations) and decides to keep seeing him because he wants to get revenge on his aunt for ruining his life.

And honestly? This, expanded upon, written well and given the same amount of dramatic vibes? I would absolutely watch it.
This plot, executed properly as a BL, I would eat it up. Just for the drama of it all, because they did have some genuinely feasible (and maybe even good) storylines and moments.

The acting was atrocious though. Pretty sure one of the supporting actors actually read off his cue card in a scene. Not good, sometimes all around terrible.
The leads kind of had some chemistry though, which was nice because they spent a lot of time focusing on their relationship and almost made me root for them as a couple (if not for the bad acting, I would have!)

The characters are all human trash. Except for one character, I hated every single other. But once again props to them for somehow making me almost root for two morally grey characters, yeah, they almost did!

And if you're wondering why the music has such a high score - it's because they used Posts from Bad Buddy, I Told Sunset About You and I Promised You The Moon! The rest of the music was terrible and even the OSTs made no sense for the plot, but I just had to because I love the songs.

If you're looking for something to watch in the background, maybe not this one! I was somehow sucked into paying attention, even though it was terrible, and I actually enjoyed it lol.

soap opera-y vertical micro BL series

Overall: it was decently entertaining and I liked one of the MLs. Aired on the app ShortMax.

App Info - this series takes about a week to watch for free. Episodes 1-7 are free and then I could watch 5 episodes with ads. The daily check in, watching 6 more ads got me about 4 more episodes a day (so 9 episodes each day and 62 paid episodes). Some of the other apps only take 2-3 days but it wasn't as bad as Please Teach Me which took me 13 days to watch for free.

Content Warnings: attempted murder, past suicide, trauma, kidnapping, violence, drugging, slaps, non con touching, manhandling, non con photo taking/posting, choke, manipulation

What I Liked
- a main character stood up for himself/decided to get what he wanted
- good kissing
- caring moments

Room For Improvement
- the cliche wannabe fiancee character
- did both teacher/student and boss/employee tropes
- voice overs
- bad crying
- 3 kidnappings in 2 hours runtime, 1 guy was slapped by 5 different people
