Got kinda bored at ep. 8; might go back later....
I haven't and won't be going back. It wasn't terrible, and I could finish it if I wanted to, but I really don't. Like I said, I got bored, but not just that, I also got busy, and nothing was compelling me to say I HAD to go back and finish this drama like other Strongberry works have in the past. Like other people have mentioned, it wasn't one of Strongberry's best. The plot could've been fine for this work, but the casting and pacing really threw it off for me.Was this review helpful to you?

"What is your definition of Love"
First of all I would like to review the series/short film one by one•The storyline:
As I watched the series these are the thing that I noticed throughout the whole stories,
First consistency The storyline was not that well written, the first few episodes were good but as the story goes by the consistency goes weaken like the series can't catch up with it's supposed to be goal like going to the wrong direction as time goes by without even noticing it
Second they could add more plot to the story to make it more chaotic or more suspence like making more detail about the character background and also their backstory like what happened to the parents of Yu ha and Take ha in the story, why did they ended up in that situation and more on they could add to the series/short film the childhood of the both of them to their teenage days and more on to their adulthood, and also to the parents of Min U I expect that his mother was the one who dropped her pen in the art gallery and picked by Yu ha and give it back to her, It could really give a plot that if Min U announce his relationship with Yun ha it would be a chaotic
They should also make an effort to the series like making it long not just a short film because if they even bother making it an effort or more attention it could have more promising future than other series I see a promising future to it but the effort to The storyline isn't enough for me
•Characters:
Pros and Cons
They have a good visuals and also they portrayed the characters very well the acting is soo good that you could feel the emotions sadness happiness they go throughout the series, it's hard to find an actor that is good in acting and have a good visuals, their acting is either good or not based on your perceptions and for me its on the middle for example I could say that it's good in some episodes and not on the rest just something like that, but in the end you could realized that their acting is giving
•Music
Nothing to special and to common they did an effort and that enough, I just think that their boosts their effort on the characters and storyline or I'm just to focused on the storyline that I didn't notice the music, or it didn't outstands throughout the series like it's just a passive and not a main topic in the series
•Rewatch Value
I'm not a fan of rewatching a series because rewatching a series can't replace the feeling (happiness, sadness, or intense) that it gives when I watch it on the first time like i can't, I only want to remember the series the way I watched it for the first time like what will happen to my life if it ended, in short I have personal attachment to the series
•Overall
I will surely miss the cast and the way they interact while they still creating the series, the bond they creat and the history they made and also the audience impact is so good
•Disclaimer
I'm not good at English that's why if I mispronounced or misspelled, I would like to take an apology and if there is an misunderstood or you can't understand feel free to correct my mistakes or give me an advice

mildly infuriating (watch suggestions)
Overall: one thing I've loved about Strongberry's shorts is how they managed to tell complete stories in short run times. I think this series should have been a tight 6 instead of a meandering plot points/characters. 12 episodes about 15 minutes each. Aired on Strongberry's YouTube channel https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNd7BhdAz80qWw5TVGLUlVThCJPKyvJ6X&si=iz35RIq3BEz5I4H3 Later aired on GagaOOLalahttps://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/6102/sweetheart-service-2025 Strongberry also made the series Long Time No See (sometimes combined into movie format), Choco Milk Shake and Blossom Campus as well as numerous short movies (my favorites include: A First Love Story, Some More, My Pistachio and As If You Whisper).Content Warning: manipulation
Watch Suggestions
- read the summary and skip episode 1
- episode 2 watch 10:20-end
- episode 3 watch beginning to 5:35 and could watch 12:15-15:40
- episode 4 watch beginning-1 and 14-end
- watch episodes 5 & 6
- stop episode 7 at 17:50
- episode 8 watch 4:30-5:30
- skip episodes 9-11
- episode 12 watch 5-end
What I Liked
- chuckled a few times
- visuals
- easy to understand premise
- good kissing
Room For Improvement
- the flash forward as a hook for episode 1
- slow pacing, first 2 episodes were set up, the main leads had barely any screentime for 3 episodes towards the end
- wish it had been Yooha's idea instead of him being coerced into it in episode 2
- noble idiot trope, didn't communicate
- it was really odd with a third character who seemed to have more chemistry with a lead, and then that made it challenging to ship the second couple (almost felt like he was sad and accepted second best)
- the second half of the finale was anticlimactic, what was the point of showing him shopping (and I'm confused what the gift meant as it seemed much too premature unless it's something else)
- too much blur filter

Another KBL with flawless skins, perfectly dressed people, and fake dating theme, but not half bad
It is a truth universally acknowledged in the KBL universe that a single, high net worth rich heir and young tech-entrepreneur, with stone-cold heart, flawless skin, and 'never-gonna-marry' stance must be in need of a 'gay-fake-dating' candidate to ward off them blind-date gals....and a guy who can pretend to be the parent on the phone, clear clogged toilets, has a body fit for nude modelling, over-performs at impersonification gigs, and is desperate for money, is without doubts the best candidate ever....BL-needle score: 6. Moderate BL-ness so far
As the usual story goes, they will off course eventually fall in love for real and satisfy all the expected tropes.....may I add that when the time comes, I expect one of them to wear oversized KBL-clothes in pastel shades and the other perfectly tailored formal clothes, find a soft diffused-lights-environment to slightly peck each other on the lips (without ruining the glow-make up)...if they end up doing more than that (I hope they do), I will definitely raise the score...:D
Lol...the tropes notwithstanding, I like the good looking cast, and the high production values.....the acting is also reasonab;ly alright so far....have decided to keep watching for now .

Sweet services was done to my heart!!!
Strongberry is so back!!! and this time, they’re serving heart-fluttering visuals, sweet chemistry, and a intriguing premise that’s already pulling the heartstrings. The same company behind Choco Milk Shake and Happy Ending, I was kinda expecting this same same but different vibe.Based on the first few episode, Sweetheart Services charms with its good cinematography, pastel-tinted aesthetic, and a soft, comfy tone that’s perfect for fans of romantic slow-burns. The casting feels polished as every character has a likeable quality, even in their quirks, and there’s a familiar comfort in their company. I found myself immediately drawn to the main leads, whose clashing personalities are quite appealing to me.
However, some scenes felt too tacky or too niché to me, and i think it's mainly because of some scenes/storyline felt it had been stretched out a bit too long. I just hope that this won't bother the overall experience and the other episodes can pull this one out of the mud.
So far, this series is off to a serviceable sweet and heartfelt start. With a charming cast, dreamy visuals, and the clean shots, it’s shaping up to be a cozy, satisfying watch. It’s not perfect, but it knows what it is—and it gives what it need to give.

Good Vibes
J'ai beaucoup aimé la série sauf certains éléments sur la fin qui m'ont fait sortir de la série.J'ai vraiment du mal avec les méchants qu'on pardonne comme s'ils avaient juste renversé un verre d'eau, tout comme les mauvaises actions, les manipulations, l'absence de consentement, etc... qu'on oublie instantanément.
Et même si c'est propre à moi et que ça fonctionne dans une série, j'ai très difficile à apprécier le reste.
Malgré cela, la série est douce, agréable et le scénario avance vite sans que ça nous donne l'impression de sauter des étapes.
Le duo est trop mignon et le tout bien réalisé. Un bon moment good vibes.

Frustrante...
O drama já é bem curto, com apenas 20 minutos, e nossa senhora, conseguiu ter um ritmo tão tão tão lento que foi me frustrando.O episódio 4 eu dei muita risada com o taco de baseball kkkkkkkkk e o Sebastian barulhento no episódio 5, mas depois disso foi ladeira abaixo!
A caracterização do Yu Ha foi terrível! O personagem tinha cara de pamonha a série inteira! Até o Min U que teoricamente era para ser frio e etc, tinha uma caracterização bem melhor.
E o que falar do arco do Tae Ha e da Ha Su Yeon???? Gente, sério, pra quê? Cagaram ainda mais no que já estava nheee...
No fim das contas eu fiquei com dó é do Jae Min! Merecia alguém bem melhor!
E o que falar do primeiro beijo do Yu Ha e Min U? Não encaixou aquilo não, tava feio, mas depois melhorou e na escada tava bem bom.
Enfim, dá para passar o tempo, mas não espere nada de nada desse drama, porque realmente vira um verdadeiro nada.
E no fim, o cara compra a aliança, olha para o grande anel de "família" e não faz NADA, não mostra o cara entregando o anelllllll....

SheCo
História com uma premissa boa, de ele trabalhar como namorado de aluguel e desenvolver sentimentos ao decorrer disso, mas ficou entediante.O casal principal foi bom até onde deu. Quando a Ha Su Yeon entrou em cena contratando o Yu Ha, o Min U, que já tinha sentimentos pelo Yu Ha a essa altura só desiste e deixa ir embora como se nao fosse nada, tipo... Acorda meu amor!
A hota d'água foi o Tae Ha (irmão do Yu Ha) simplesmente abandonar o irmão e o bar dele pra exatos nada, sem explicação nenhuma. Disse que foi a pedido da Ha Su Yeon, mas tipo, ela pagou ele pra ele ir embora? Ela prometeu algo? Não mostra e nem falam sobre isso depois. E mais, o Tae Ha vir falar que foi embora porque tava com medo do Yu Ha ir embora e não precisar mais dele. Sentido? Não temos.
E pra fechar com chave de bosta eles voltam todos, a Ha Su Yeon deixa e fala que foi pra ajudar e fods e eles ficam juntos, o Tae Ha fica com o outro lá (Jae Min) e final feliz. 🫠 Um cuzil.
Nota 6/10 por pena, mas foi uns episódios finais horríveis.

-Quiero confiar en ti ahora y quiero seguir viendo tu sonrisa.
Vaya decepción que siento, esta serie yo siento que tenía potencial de ser buena o incluso muy buena pero al final apenas se podría decir que es buena, creo que es una serie con potencial desperdiciado y creo que fue por varias razones como ejemplo: la poca duración de los capítulos, en cómo fue avanzando la historia etc. y porque digo que el cómo fue avanzando porque cuando la empecé a ver se los juro me estaba gustando mucho como la estaban llevando pero terminando el capítulo 6 (chance el 7) ya la serie no sentí que valiera mucho la pena.Y es que los primeros capítulos son buenos porque es toda esta parte de ser novios falsos, como Min Hu lo presenta con sus amigos, con sus padres e incluso esa escena me gusto bastante porque fue el papa el que si acepto su noviazgo y su mama no (usualmente es al revés) pero incluso no volvemos a saber de ellos, y es que yo entiendo que normalmente en casi todas las series pasa algo que hace que los protagonistas se separen y estén solos a veces un rato a veces bastante tiempo y pues aquí es cuando entra Ha Su Yeon como la 3ra discordia pero le dieron demasiado tiempo a esto y siento que ni llego a nada y es que digo el 6 porque el 7 casi todo trata de la pareja secundaria y ya de ahí es todo esto de la 3ra discordia que termina hasta el capítulo 11 y ya el 12 pues todos felices pero hasta lo sentí apresurado y también me saco de onda como no hubo alguna consecuencia para Ha Su Yeon con todas las mentiras que dijo, según ella con decir que ya todo limpio ella agusto.
Yu Ha y Min U
Es una pareja que me gusto siento que son como el cliché "sunshine & grumpy" o “golden retriever & black cat” (que creo que son los mismos) y como ya dije empezó bien esta pareja, el cómo van teniendo momentos juntos que incluso pues ya se podía ver que si eran pareja falsa pero que ambos empezaban a sentir algo entre ellos, y creo que fue yendo bien tipo de desconocidos a amigos y luego ya a esta parte donde se nos dejaba ver que si se gustaban pero de ahí pasamos a tener capítulos donde ya ni se hacían en el mundo o como le dijo Yu Ha a Min U se trataban como personas con un contrato, y de ahí ya no hubo una evolución clara en ellos, y ya en el último capítulo se arreglan y todos felices (supongo), odie cuando Min U le dio el número de Yu Ha a Ha Su Yeon porque algo en mi me decía que no debía y tuve razón gente, en fin debo decir que al principio me estaba gustando luego están los capítulos donde nomas nada (7-11) y luego ya están bien entonces yo siento que me quedaron a deber más que ellos, el guion.
No hable de ellos por separado pero, los dos me cayeron bien, me gusto esta parte de Yu Ha trabajado a medio tiempo para salir adelante y volverse independiente e incluso se vio que es alguien carismático, Min U se ve que es como estas personas que no les gusta reflejar sus sentimiento (al menos al principio) pero que se preocupa por la gente y diría que es alguien de sentimientos fuertes o al menos no había experimentado hasta que estuvo con Yu ha y aun así yo siento que se tardó para darse cuenta.
Tae Ha y Jae Min
Ahora si yo sentí que la pareja protagonista les falto estos dos los usan de escoba porque los barren literal, ni si quiera entendí muy bien qué onda con ellos, porque a lo que entendí Jae Min ya tiene rato enamorado de Tae Ha pero este únicamente piensa en Su Ha que es su hermano y que no quiere que lo deje, y tal parece que bien nos fue porque si no mal recuerdo ellos tienen como 2 o 3 capítulos dedicados a ellos y ya es todo, de fortuna se besaron pero se los juro que no entendí ese beso, siento que se lo sacaron de la nada, y pues queda bien inconclusa su historia.
Igual ellos por separado, Tae Ha no entendí porque esta fijación de mantener a Yu Ha a su lado bueno si entiendo que es su hermano y su única familia lo que no entendí fueron sus acciones para mantenerlo a su lado fuera de eso puedo decir que es alguien que se preocupa, Jae Min el si no nos dan la oportunidad de conocerlo bien, solamente que es bonita persona y que se preocupa tanto por Yu Ha como Tae Ha.
Ha Su Yeon
Ahora si ella es de esos personajes que no tengo nada bueno que decir, solamente entendí que le gusto Yu Ha en cuanto lo vio le dieron un chingo de celos a la morra por que el andaba con Min U y solamente por eso chingo la relación, yo siento que estaba celosa de Min U e incluso lo quiso hacer menos, que en teoría son amigos pero yo lo vi más como una relación pasiva-agresiva y es que me cayó muy mal como ya mencione diciendo mentiras nomas por un wey (Yu Ha), para al final rendirse y decir que ya, que entiendo que no lo va a poder hacer suyo y es todo.
Hasta aquí voy a dejar esto y si me duele porque si me estaba gustando, pero a como lo estoy pensando veo muy poco probable que vuelva a ver esta serie, quede con demasiadas preguntas del porqué de algunas acciones y de porque otras no tuvieron consecuencias, en fin, si alguien quiere ver la serie yo diría que la vean hasta el 6 o 7 y de ahí se pasen al 12 porque la verdad no se están perdiendo de mucho, lo mejor ya lo vieron.
La frase del título es del cap.12.

Início promissor...
No geral eu gostei.O início foi promissor, mas desandou um pouco depois da metade. O casal principal é muito fofo e o Jae Min também, em compensação o Tae Ha 🙄. Achei a trama final meio bleh e mal desenvolvida.
Ou seja, valeu a pena pela premissa inicial, pelo casal principal (apesar do primeiro beijo ter sido 😐) e porque dei boas risadas em boa parte dos eps.
