Nice premise lacks on execution with a forced "happy end"
I do like low budget productions in general, but in this case, they skimped on the runtime which makes the series feel rushed in the end. If it were me, I would have omitted the "happy end". It makes no sense to meet a guy who looks exactly the same and for all intents "feels" like the ghost which would have been impossible.Acting was ok, giving us a bit of fluff and good vibes with a dark undertone. Of course the actors are also handsome, that may be a bonus point for some viewers. I have not much else to say besides, it's an ok show for what it is, even when I think the ending is "lame". So binge-watch it, if you are interested, but I would stop when the ghost is disappearing because that should be the real end.

A bit "flat"
This was a very short drama, the story was not bad but a bit weird. Something like a SA turning in consented sex.The acting was very flat, hardly any emotions were shown. No chemistry or dynamics between the mains.
Visuals were ok and so was the music. Only a shame that sometimes the music just got cut off.
It's only around 30 minutes, so you can watch it if you are curious, but expect too much of it.

If you wanna make a complicated plot, then don't make the series so short.
This is a complicated plot. If u wanna make such a plot make longer episodes, It could be so much better. I see a lot of people talk about the acting but not gonna lie, the acting is not the best but I guess it's alright. My main problem with this series is that everything seems rushed and low budget. I don't mind low budget movies or series, because they can be extremely good too, but the amount of episodes x the playtime is making me cry. The plot is nice, but they used a very short series to work it out. If they made even the slightest change, like each episodes 10 minutes, it would've been such an improvement.Overall, I liked it but it lacks lore and plot, and it could be at least a bit longer.

Gotta Love That Ghost
It's so short you can watch all in 20 min, tops. The acting is bad bad not just bad but not the worst ever. The script is so bad you don't where it's gonna take you because random things just occur. Random even for a ghost story.The guy is sleeping and the ghost decides to sexually take advantage of him. What started as assault soon turned into happy moment for both. The guy wakes up and fully complies. No resistance. No questions. Just total compliance. More like, "So we're doing this now, ok." When they meet again, he asks if this will be a nightly ritual. Fun times. I should have prefaced this by saying, the new tenant told the ghost on meeting him that he's not afraid of ghosts. Still.
The ending I think made up for everything else. It was nice. Finally, it felt like some sort of decent acting was happening and the slightly expected twist was the best part. I will say that they do look comfortable together. The interraction playful and warm, as friends would be.
Would I recommend to watch, it's midling to okay. It's 20ish minutes. Do it during your lunch break. 😁

However, the acting felt flat as there was no chemistry. More precisely, the actors' lines only looked like they were being "said" and the characters appeared passive.
The series also lacked transitions between scenes from one event to another. It is nonetheless understandable due to the shortness of this tv-show which prevents a deeper development of both the characters and the storyline.
I believe that a longer version of the story line with a deeper development of each character would have provided a richer watching content. I would look forward to it.

This drama was really enjoyable and doesn't deserve the hate
I have watched most of Flyingpenguin's works, and this short drama is the one which intrigued me the most. I am so glad I watched it before reading the reviews on here because this show absolutely does NOT deserve the high level of hate it seems to be getting!! Usually in Flyingpenguins shows are 1-3 episodes with the main part being an NC without actually any detailed plot (which i like too LOL) but this drama stood out to me because there is a story behind it. People love to complain about the length being too short, and i agree, however being able to convey this plot within a 30 timeframe and make me feel attached to the characters is truly skillful. There is good chemistry between the two actors and the story of the ghost and his shitty ex really got me emotional. The NC scenes were good too, except I do agree that the acting may be a little robotic at times but what can you expect for a low budget short film. Overall, I really liked it!!! One of my favourite Flyingpenguin shows.Was this review helpful to you?
Not Worth My Time
So this BL is overall disappointing.From the awkward acting, to the unrealistic ending and not to forget the weird development of the leads' relationship... a overall messy drama. The story actually doesn't sound too shabby and starts off interesting, but the entire package does not come through as a well built drama.
I do not recommend watching this BL, not enjoyable and even got me annoyed at the characters.

not bad
for a short bl, it had an interesting story , so this is not the case of a short bl that has no storybut because its short the ending was rushed (not explained well)
the good points:
-interesting story
-good chemistry
-good looking actors
my only complaint is that i wish they explained better the ending

Assisto todos os curtas desse estúdio, então estava curiosa para assistir este quando li a sinopse no perfil do estúdio e ontem finalmente lançou em um canal do telegram, mas confesso que foi bem frustrante. A premissa inicial poderia ter sido melhor desenvolvida, há uma cena que me gerou bastante desconforto por não parecer consensual já que a pessoa estava dormindo e achei que o final ficou acelerado. Gostaria que tivessem dado um final melhor porque a linha do tempo não faz sentido algum para que o personagem fosse idêntico, mas enfim, vamos ver os próximos. Was this review helpful to you?
