vertical series with a supportive ML
Overall: I rated this against other vertical series. Originally aired on DramaWave, 1-3 free, 30 episodes in total. Later aired on iQIYI app.What I Liked
- awesome how an IT major was also into make up and he had cool accessories
- natural flow/progression to their relationship
- supportive ML/didn't let others bully him
- good confession
- visuals
- the ending
Room For Improvement
- cliche accidental kiss
- was odd they didn't show them as kids, maybe due to budget restraints
- a dead fish lip press

Like I know this is a 2025 BL and fake kisses are long gone but let's see the bright side here, I've seen a lot of Bls that has steamy kiss scenes but the whole show was shit! No story no chemistry nothing... And tbh if I only want to watch guys making out like that I'd go for soft gay porn, not a Japanese vertical drama.
I'm not saying this is the best BL ever but all I'm saying is if you are not so touchy about the kisses you will enjoy this because this was amazing, it reminds me of cherry magic not that they have anything in common, except maybe the Shy introvert Uke and confident popular Seme (or I believe that's their roles, there is no indication about which is which) but I remember CM had zero kisses yet was one of the best BL Japan ever made.
So this too considering it's a Short VD, it deserves compliments, because it was so funny, I laughed too much, the two guys were extremely handsome, with a killer side profile, and I really enjoyed it, so if you have less than an hour to spare, give it a go ~
Highly recommended.

A good mini JBL
Lol, that was hilariously bad, but hey - I do enjoy a good random watch every once in a whileIt started out as a revenge plot but between the bullies, the childhood connection and the fake relationship, there wasn't much room for revenge lol. It did have some sweet moments, and the acting was not half bad like some of the other mini-séries I've watched so there's that.
I did like the many sequences with makeup, it was just very aesthetically shot, and even for a mini-séries, it was very short and to the point. So overall, it was okay.
