Take the Bait (2025)

Cute with smoldering kissess!!

I see a new drama with Lanbo and i just CLICK! He totally stole my heart in "No One But You" with his sexy charisma and i have not had enough of him since then! In this drama we see him as a geology professor and he is more calm and cool headed as a character. FL is a popular actress who has to deal with her company`s shady contracts and the cyber bullying of the audience+mean haters. I like that despite her ongoing despression in the second half she still had it in her to be joyful and hopeful. Even pursuing ML in such a sweet manner, since he is the more shy one. The kissess after they become a couple are SMOLDERING HAWT!!!Just sayinnn!

A Slow Burn That Sets the Screen on Fire

This short vertical drama genuinely surprised me—in the best way. The writing is impressively tight, with no unnecessary, dragged-out arguments. Instead, it focuses on what truly matters: the gradual growth of the two leads and the way their relationship unfolds naturally. Side characters are kept to a minimum, which helps the story stay centered and engaging throughout.

What really stands out is the chemistry between the leads. It’s the kind of slow-burn romance where you almost forget you’re watching a short drama. There’s nothing toxic here—just a calm, mature love story that develops at its own pace, yet never feels boring. The male lead, with his composed and controlled demeanor, is especially captivating. He’s calm until pushed, quietly intense, and when jealousy appears, it adds heat rather than chaos. The female lead is equally refreshing: cute and innocent, but never childish, with a clear backbone and emotional depth.

Their chemistry doesn’t rely solely on kisses or dramatic tropes. Even without constant physical intimacy, they manage to burn up the screen. When the steamy moments do arrive, they feel earned and powerful, enhancing the emotional connection rather than overpowering it. It’s rare to see a vertical drama balance romance, desire, and character growth this well.

While the drama lightly touches on the darker side of the entertainment industry, its true strength lies in the love story itself—two people from different stages of life finding comfort, passion, and understanding in each other. For me, this has easily become one of my top favorite vertical dramas. If you enjoy slow-burn romances with strong chemistry, emotional warmth, and a non-toxic storyline, this one is absolutely worth your time. ❤️🔥
