accidental call meant to be?
Overall: I was happy that the series was focused on the leads but then a third character took up too much time in the finale. 4 episodes about 10 minutes each. Aired on Sukfilm's YouTube channel https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYfaogVGCvwSn_EksTEo-gNZJbq4wMIVb&si=ZTVhgoz20VrTZQUS (members have more/longer kissing scenes and apparently a short scene at the end of the finale) The production company Sukfilm has also made: Blue Boys, Seoul Blues, Never FairContent Warnings: threatened suicide, non/dub con kiss
What I Liked
- intro
- the flashback made his response in episode 1 make sense
- acting/visuals
- acknowledged that they just met, end of episode 4 was nice (just needed more screen time for them)
Room For Improvement
- that major things kept happening when one was very drunk
- a character took up way too much time in the finale
- cliche a character lied and another character walked away/misunderstood (though at least it seemed to be cleared up fairly soon)
- abrupt ending

One Wrong Number, One Right BL — Short, Sweet & Surprisingly Deep!
Where do they find these actors?! 😍 All three leads were absolutely gorgeous, charismatic, and had screen presence that rivaled full-length BL dramas. Honestly, I was more captivated in these 4 x 10-minute episodes than I’ve been in some 12-episode series with 50-minute runtimes!The plot is simple but effective:
A quiet guy, a wrong number, and a mysterious voice on the other end. But the emotional depth that comes out of this accidental connection? Unexpected and touching. The pacing is great, and the chemistry was believable even though they only had a short runtime to work with.
The acting? Great.
The music? Perfect.
The story? Hooked me from the first minute.
I was never bored, and it left me wanting more. These actors have real potential, and I would definitely invest my time in a full-length series with them in the future.
If you’re looking for a short BL that doesn’t waste your time, hits you in the feels, and leaves you impressed, Wrong Number is absolutely worth the call. 📞💘

That was really good
I didn't think I would like this, but was very well-written with fairly well-realized characters for such a short flim. Woo-Tae is an unusual character - sweet and conflict avoidant without being weak - far from it. I loved his honesty, including with himself.Also, points for the total absence of homophobia, which is unusual for a KBL - by which I mean the very story and the way it's told, not the inclusion of homophobia as a plot element.
I could have done with fewer BL tropes, which I think weakened the overall effect, but almost everything about this is strong, and you will likely walk away from it feeling good. There aren't any real kisses in it, but i was fine with that - it wouldn't have made sense for where the characters are.

Ok I guess
Another short entertaining BL from Suki film with simple yet effective plot and with 2 gorgeous guys but who apparently have a visceral fear of homo kissing . Not my favorite of the lot but it kept me coming back for more. I especially enjoyed the secondary actor’s acting (the ex) .I also loved Won Tae’s reasoning for being always nice to ppl 😍

Short series/film that knows it's short.
Story: Cute, nothing really out of this world but it's a nice watch if you just want to watch something.Pace: Good pace. It's a 10-minute 4-ep show, and I like that it knows it's short – the storyline was probably like only 2 weeks, so there's no unnecessary time jumps whatsoever, no forced nuances, most scenes did look like they'd really happen in a week or two.
Actors: Main lead looks like Kim Jiwoong, can act too. Other lead felt awkward, though that character is supposed to be really awkward so I'm not too sure if this is a compliment or a critic.

Short but complete.
This was a nice short drama. For me one time watching it was enough, but i could understand people watching it more times.I liked it enough to look foreward to another episode each week.
Very well acted, good visuals, good story. Only bad thing for me was that some scene's felt a bit cut off and i wished it was a bit longer, with more after they told each other how they felt.

Just a really simple love story
Well the whole story is 2 guys who had a bad breakup end up connecting cz of a wrong number and fall in love. The whole series has 3 actors 2 leads and 1 ex. It was a nice light watch. Not like wow soo good not like ugh soo bad. There's really nothing more i can say about this. You can watch it but not watching it won't make a differenceWas this review helpful to you?

Wrong Number, Right Connection
This was enjoyable for the most part. This Sukfilm storyline a bit different in that all lose ends were tied up. The weaknesses in this were the background in the pub, a bit of the convo between the mls, and the 2nd ml Wootae. Background was very cheap and Wootae could have done with a little more practice. I would have liked to have seen more of ex Hyeon as he appeared to be the most experienced actor and it showed. The convo and interractions between Seop and his ex Hyeon were the best in terms of acting. I did like Wootae as I enjoyed his direct approach in dealing with his feelings. I also liked the approach of Seop when he said that he was not in the business of messing people up. Here he showed that he would not use Wootae to heal. Kudos to the writer for this. On a small budget, it was good overall. The assumption that this was shot over a day or two, the wardrobe could be better to show the difference in time (averaging 2 weeks +) in the film.Blue Boys, Bad Guy, Seoul Blues and Checkered Shirt (ending still feels incomplete) are others from Sukfilm that exceed the limited budget.

Companhia perfeita para a hora do almoço
Tava procurando alguma coisinha leve pra ver enquanto almoçava e, do nada, o YouTube me joga esse curtinha na cara. Acabei dando play sem muitas expectativas e foi exatamente isso: simples, gostosinho de assistir e perfeito pra me fazer companhia enquanto eu comia.A história de Wrong Number gira em torno de um mal-entendido bem clássico: uma ligação que vai parar no número errado e, a partir daí, começa uma conversa inesperada entre dois caras. É aquele tipo de premissa que a gente já viu mil vezes, mas que, quando é bem executada, continua funcionando. E aqui funciona. Não tem drama forçado, não tem plot mirabolante, é só um flerte despretensioso que vai crescendo de forma natural e deixa um quentinho no coração.
Não é nada revolucionário, nem vai mudar a história do mundo dos BLs, mas tambem nem precisa, ele cumpre muito bem a proposta de ser leve e fofo, com uma vibe de fanfic adaptada que é impossível não reconhecer. Se você só quer relaxar, assistir algo curtinho e dar uns sorrisos bobos sem precisar pensar muito, esse aqui é perfeito pra isso.

HISTÓRIA INTERESSANTE COM UM TEMPO APERTADO E FINAL MAL FEITO
Assisti essa minissérie logo após terminar "Please, Yes" que é da mesma empresa, então eu tinha alguma referência para entender o que eles queriam e poderiam fazer e cheguei a conclusão de que a execução dessa série deixou a desejar.Tudo começa com uma ligação errada que gera um mal entendido, e logo depois vemos como nossos protagonistas são parecidos pois ambos tiveram uma desilusão amorosa e estão com o coração partido.
Choi I Seop é gay e Han U Tae não. Choi I Seop é levemente indiferente e ranzinza, mas um coração mole e o Han U é sincero, extrovertido e gentil. Um é o oposto do outro, mas de alguma forma eles se completam e se curam juntos.
Até esse ponto (que é o começo) tudo funciona muito bem e o roteiro é bem interessante, mas quando chega no último episódio você percebe que muito ainda precisa ser feito e não existe mais tempo para isso, então como esperado o final é mal construído e feito as pressas, tanto que o corte final é como um fim de episódio e não um fim de série.
Logo depois temos uma cena extra de mais ou menos 2 minutos e essa cena é muito importante para o projeto pois os vemos como um casal, mas ao mesmo tempo ela nos apresentou um outro problema. Eles não se encaixam.
O ator que faz o Choi I Seop é claramente mais desenvolto e natural na hora das cenas românticas, já o Han U Tae mal abre a boca na hora do beijo.
Toda a premissa é boa, mas a falta de cuidado ao finalizar e os problemas de química e entrosamento entre os protagonistas fez o projeto perder fôlego para mim.
A trilha sonora é muita parecida com a do outro projeto que eu vi da mesma empresa e ela funciona bem. No geral é uma boa série, só não é tudo o que poderia ter sido.

Tinha tudo pra dar errado e deu super certo!
Eu adorei, foi muito bom.Enredo simples e direto, sem rodeios, foi curto sim foi, sem enrolação e muito delicado.
Poderiam ter explorado bem mas.
Foi delicado, foi intenso...Sim foi.
Gostei da interação deles, foi direta a certeira.
"Certo, mas é como uma loteria." Uma hora encontro alguém bom,
Se eu tratar dez pessoas bem, prefiro continuar sendo gentil...
Isso é um fato, gentileza gera gentileza.
Muito bom, ser gentil. Simples assim.

Extremamente curto, quando a gente começa a se envolver na história, acaba kkkkkkNão pareceu ter 40 minutos, em um piscar de olhos cada episódio acaba.
A música alta nos episódios 3 e 4 me incomodaram um pouco, mal dava para ouvir o personagem falando.
Mas gostei da premissa, uma ligação errada, aquele medo de acontecer algo com a outra pessoa o fez agir e tudo se desenvolveu. Apesar de parecer ser uma produção muito pequena e as vezes tem uma tremidinha de câmera, foi muito bem filmado e o posicionamento/enquadramento também. O Jung Myeong Cheol é bem bonito.
