Loved it!
Like i wrote in my review about the original series, i couldn't get enough of it and wished there were a lot more episodes.For me this was one of the episodes i was longing for. A story from the parallel world and also more about Jin and Wim.
This series is really perfect and i hope we will see a lot more of it. With more amazing visuals and beautifull music.

Better than anything I had watched lately
Noeul was absolutely adorable as he tried to help, always hovering near Boss without even realizing it. Yet, we all knew that Boss had figured it out from the very beginning-that it was Noeul who had been buying those little thoughtful gifts. One of my favorite moments was in the university cafeteria, when Noeul quietly left a cold drink for Boss along with a sweet, handwritten note. But what truly melted my heart was Boss's reaction-how he guarded that drink as if it were a priceless treasure, all while playfully teasing Noeul, fully aware that he was sitting just at the table behind him.Every single scene at the campsite filled me with so much excitement that I wished it would never end. And that kiss in the tent-soft, tender, and breathtakingly romantic-was the perfect culmination of all the unspoken feelings between them.
The NC scene was absolutely scorching, and the shower scene was nothing short of breathtaking. This special episode carried the same magic and intensity as the entire series, and that final scene left me aching for more, wishing with all my heart that it wasn't truly the end 😊😊
I can't help but hope for another season, but this time I long to see a different twist-Boss and Noeul in an alternate world. Imagine Boss as the cold, untouchable, and calculating CEO, and Noeul as the warm-hearted, selfless assistant who slowly melts his icy walls. I'm desperate to see how their love story would unfold in that universe-how passion, tenderness, and fate would pull them together all over again 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I truly hope Me Mind Y gifts us a new series with Boss and Noeul soon-their chemistry is nothing short of electric, the kind that captivates you from the very first scene and lingers long after the credits roll. They bring such depth, charm, and magic to every moment they share, and it would be a crime not to see them light up our screens together again 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘😘😘

The intimacy
Boss and Noeul are the only reason I watched this and it's because of their undoubtable chemistry. The story line could have been better, it's almost like the writers were pressured to come up with something because the fans demanded it so they just recycled what they already had. The only thing they got wright was the intimacy part, sous chef kisses. They are getting daring and I'm here for it.Was this review helpful to you?

BOSSNOEUL NEED BETTER SCRIPTS ESPECIALLY NOEUL
emotional skill , For example in an NC scene where Boss and Noeul are acting together ,apart from the special episode, for the other scenes, you barely see him gets praise or acknowledge,you barely see a solo edit of his character get as much engagement as deserved.People forget that the reason by the scenes are prefect is because Noeul is equally good, it's not one sided, if it was, the chemistry will be poor. Why is Noeul treated like a backup dancer in his own storylines. The way Noeul is consistently overlooked is frustrating, especially when it's painfully clear that he carries just as much emotional and physical weight in those scenes as Boss does ,if not more some times. NC scenes aren't just about who looks dominant; they’re about connection, vulnerability, timing, expressions of which Noeul delivers with insane precision.
Let’s be real,NC scenes aren’t easy. They require vulnerability, trust, timing, and expression. I know about the bias in the BL industry where the less “masculine” or less sassy role gets downplayed. But in Noeul’s case, the gap is just too much . He’s not a Sidekick or just “the bottom" , he’s an actor. A damn good one and he deserves to be praised, supported, and pushed forward just as much .
He even said himself he wants more challenging roles he’s been hitting the gym, clearly putting in the effort, clearly working on his craft. I don’t think he wants to just be seen as a soft/fluffy character anymore.
I need Noeul in a better roles to show potentials, I don't mind a switch verse role as well, and shut haters up, unfortunately I doubt if Mame can give that.
BossNoeul chemistry is too expensive and rare to just be given poor script and focused on university setting 😞

so good!! even liked these CirPhu more than the main ones
Cool light story, i wanted to see even more of this world but we have what we have. To be honest I would rather watch 10 episodes of these CirPhu, or even about Black Cir. I didn't like the main Cir much, not because of the stalking thing (actually would like to see it more), but he was just not written interestingly (Boss tried his best but he had almost nothing to work with), this version of Cir was much more fun to watch and character felt alive, I also noticed this back in episode 8. Phu was perfect in both versions.Also, the comedy genre suits BossNoeul very well. Would like to see them in action/comedy more.

Química, desejo e aquele gostinho de quero mais
Vou ser bem sincera: eu fui assistir esse especial meio no susto, porque a série principal de The Boy Next World me deixou dividida. Aí vem esse especial, que se passa em um universo alternativo, e simplesmente entrega tudoooo.Aqui, o Phu é um nerd tímido, um pouco stalker (mas num nível fofo e não problemático), e o Cir é misterioso, com aquele cabelo preso e uma vibe que mistura perigo e charme. E, olha... FUNCIONA. A química deles está ainda mais intensa e as cenas entre os dois são super bem dirigidas. Tem tensão, tem desejo, tem aquela energia de “me beija logo ou vou fazer uma besteira” que a gente ama num BL.
Agora, sobre Jin e Win... MEU DEUS!!! Eles nem têm tanto tempo de tela, mas quando aparecem, dominam. Eu senti muito mais deles nesse episódio do que em vários momentos da história original. O Jin mais brincalhão, o Win com aquele jeito sério e contido... os dois têm uma química natural, e mesmo com pouco, entregaram muito. Fiquei até com vontade de ver um spin-off só dos dois, pra ser honesta.
Ver esses personagens em versões diferentes me fez perceber o quanto o roteiro original desperdiçou potencial. O Phu do “mundo real” era fofo, mas parecia perdido o tempo todo. E o Cir era super confuso, e nem sempre dava pra entender as intenções dele. Já aqui, tudo é mais direto, a gente sente o que eles querem e pra onde a história tá indo.
Um detalhe que me pegou de surpresa foi como tudo parece mais leve e divertido, mesmo com a intensidade do casal. E as cenas mais quentes? Não forçadas, não gratuitas. Elas realmente fazem sentido ali e dão aquele toque extra de sensualidade que a gente tanto ama.
No fim das contas, esse especial me deixou com aquela sensação agridoce: foi ótimo, me envolveu, me fez sorrir (e suspirar), mas também me deixou querendo mais. Queria que esse fosse o tom da série inteira, ou que, pelo menos, ganhasse mais episódios nessa pegada.
Sinceramente? Eu adoraria ver a versão do Cir todo boss fodão, mandando em tudo, e o Phu como aquele secretário fofo, inteligente e secretamente apaixonado. Se a Mame quiser me dar isso, eu recebo de braços abertos!

Gostei muito deste especial e de terem mostrado a história do terceiro Cir e Phu, mas deu aquele gostinho de quero mais. Queria que tivesse um especial para mostrar o Cir de preto, que teoricamente era o bam bam bam do drama original, mas achei ótimo mostrarem a história inversa, do Phu apaixonado e o Cir o descobrindo, teve coisas bem engraçadas, mas é divertido ver que o Cir não consegue não cuidar do Phu por mais que o ache um "estorvo" inicialmente, o Boss e o Noeul são ótimos atores contracenando juntos.
