Low production, cute/handsome actors
Sukfilm is known for their short series with few actors. While I feel some tensions between the actors, it's not the best chemistry. The series is partly steril. That's the fault of the settings. Even the bar feels lifeless. The locations besides the appartment are not choosen well and as always they can't fill the void with extras.The story is cliché as usual. Childhood friends reunite and at least one of them is (still?) in love after 15 years! It's a bit much imho. I can't say it's bad, but it's also not good from a story telling view. It also makes the story not believable when you have no background at all. The clumsiness of the "writer" is partly cute but partly annoying. So I'm divided on this series. At least it felt not cringe or childish. You have to deceide yourself if you like this series or not, at least it felt not a waste of time.

Below average, just watch it to fill your time!
It's basically a short, low-budget, and filling bl drama. i couldn't udnerstand the chemistry much. the kiss scenes very so sudden with minimal chemistry.i think it had the potential to better if not for this production and short drama because there was no development and 4 episdes each around 15-20 minutes doesn't even make it a movie imo.
overall, not recommended. if you like to see a bl with cute leads that doesn't make sense, give it a try.

controlling writer and his doe eyed prey
Overall: I did not enjoy the dynamic with the leads and they once again inserted a useless love triangle. Aired on Sukfilm's YouTube channel https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYfaogVGCvwTLtMP5RnShUW6BHVbJmk9R&si=ydgeYlQSObe6tvN4Content Warning: non/dub con kissing turned consensual
What I Liked
- visuals
- production value was good for an indie series (though the music should be quieter when they were talking)
Room For Improvement
- how the writer was controlling (told him to come home earlier) and made the other guy feel bad for the sticky note, he apologized and said he wouldn't do it again but was again controlling (gave him a curfew)
- love triangle with a much better candidate for a boyfriend
- the naive guy voiced his inner thoughts
- the drunk kissing trope

My expectations were disappointed because..
After watching episode 1 I don't feel all this.In my opinion it's a bit unfinished, a boy moves in with a stranger he hasn't seen for 15 years just like that? because of his mother's persuasion? leaving aside this thread.. I just don't feel the Chemistry between them. That's all I have to say after an 8 minute episode, I'll watch the next episodes out of curiosity because I want to see what will come out of this and whether this plot will develop at least a little bitWas this review helpful to you?
I Wanted A Bit More
This little engine that could did.A story of childhood friends that have not seen one another years and due to his mother a young man moves in with his "brother" as a way to save money as he charts his path in the world. He tries to find work but seems confused by his brother's possessiveness.
Feelings are a weird thing and even as kids we can bond with and remember a person being special to us even if at the time of childhood we don't really understand what it all means.
Their chemistry was understated but it was definitely there. Pity I don't know the actor playing the younger of the 2 as it is not on the MDL page but I loved him and his almost blank expressions. It was like a person afraid of what the world would do to his naivete.
And falling for his hyung was just sweet. I loved it.
The drunken kiss was regrettably hot. Especially the uncut version.

ehm..
It's hard to give a revieuw, i liked it, but i didn't like it at all at the same time...The story was ok, not great, but not bad either. It's a low budget series and that shows in the cut off scene's.
The extremely dominant character made me cringe, i really hate characters like that.
Yoo Jin Seok did a great job, he is a very good actor. Sadly there was no chemistry at all with the other main lead.
The third character didn't add much, his role was too passive to make it an interesting love triangle.

Really not fair !! Give them full length series
Being a short series & only 4 episodes, they have already done enough justice. Though the scenes were bits & pieces, it was enjoyable.Both Male Lead actors acting and chemistry was so good that they need another full length series.
The actor On Yu perfectly nailed his character of being rude & mean all the time. On the other hand Hyeok well played his character of being innocent with that puppy face.

Underwhelming
Why on earth would one want to make a series with not even a half-cooked script...beats me.....It seems like they just put together some trope scenes and thought it will suffice....maybe this could just work as a comic strip/manhwa, but as a live action show- NO.BL-needle score: 8. Reasonably high BL-ness
Nothing much to write, the casting, the dialogues, the script, everything seems half-hearted and pointless. Even with a 8 minute length, or 13 minute (episode 3) it's a drag. Why waste so much effort and money...I wonder!!! My verdict - Nah, don't waste your time.
