needed to narrow the focus
Overall: with a short runtime, they needed to tighten up the plot and focus on the romantic development. I gave this an indie bump. 6 episodes about 8 minutes each. Aired on Fangle Studio https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL43jpYftGbEFcuaz7dCQyQTwIJMji6dFk&si=SGJZf8gBd6DKXoIM and GagaOOLala https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/6249/fan-service-2026-e01Content Warning: past kidnapping/trauma, blood, stalking, harassment, attempted murder
What I Liked
- visuals
- they addressed the downside of fame*
Room For Improvement
- love triangle
- romance seemed to come out of nowhere, needed more build up/chemistry
- odd card thing/voiceover
- hair covered one of the leads' eyes and it was difficult to feel his emotions in several scenes
- *nervous there won't be any consequences (there weren't)
- nonsense in episode 5 (surgery and then sent home a few hours later???!!!!), this plot point was never addressed or resolved
- 5 year time skip in the finale, rushed

Second half felt rushed
Till ep 3 i felt that the pacing and the plot were doing fine. There was a story. But after ep 4 everything felt super rushed. Like they wanted to capture many sides of the story in a few short lengthed eps. That created gaps and awkward scenes. I couldn't understand why some parts happened. And how lightly the stalking and the pressure was overseen. There was a great potential to create a very decent story/series, but unfortunately it seemed like they got bored to finish the project correctly.Was this review helpful to you?
I don’t find it cute at all. Why is the second one always left heartbroken? I saw the poster, got interested, but the ending was just “oh no.” Totally disappointing. Not recommended. Feels like I wasted 30 minutes. No proper storyline, no acting, just random ranting filmed for no reason.

OK but hear me out
I know I am one to hate on BL series with no or poorly written plots, but this one is a guilty pleasure for me. And the reason is that I watched our leads Kim Chang Min and Kim Chan Gyu in the Korean reality dating series His Man back in 2022. The fact that they got a series together, however basic or short it may be, makes me giggle and fangirl out a little. They are so cute and to see actual gay actors in a BL makes me feel like something right happened here. Is it a little cheesy? Yes. Is it PURE fan service for us fujashi? YES! But at least you expect it to be <3Was this review helpful to you?

Not very good
This drama wasn't very good. The story was ok, but had some strange moments in it. For example him just opening the door while there is a stalker out there.That confrontation with his brother in his house, they were not close, but suddenly the brother and manager are in his house without ringing the doorbel or knocking?
The acting wasn't very good, the brother was the only actor that really did a good job.
There was no chemistry between the mains, at least the kiss was good.

Potential but Underwhelming
POTENTIAL but Kinda underwhelming. I like the plot do wish it was executed better. The story of the famous Geon U mistakes Jae Yeon as a stalker and then they gets closer and Geon U’s walls break down as he gets closer to Jae Yeon. The concept was good but the follow through was subpar. The short and few episodes, made it very rushed. It was very fast paced which made it hard to see proper character development & story development. Needs more build up to the romantic feelings, Needs to unpack all the plot everything gets resolved too quickly and barely resolved at all. I did still enjoy watching it but do think there is a lot of room of improvement. The Actors even tho very new and unrefined definitely have immense potential in my opinion. Overall I did enjoyed it even tho I was critical.I don’t really write reviews so hope this was helpful 🥰💖

even though saying that, the writing took a weird turn towards the end - it was rushed & illogical (the whole stalker thing - what he just punch Geon U, not stab him?!? what the hell was the point of that plot line??) same with the attraction, cause from where i am sitting Jae Yeon had chemistry with both brother's, so why he follow through & want Jae Yeon's kiss, but not Taewoo's? cause they grew-up together?? meeh - not even gonna mention the whole scene with the father - what was that??
so the only plus is this short, so didn't waste too much time on this & other then Jae Yeon (sorry not sorry) i think everyone has potential & i hope to see them in other projects. pointless to say this a 1 off & a never again.

More opportunities for Changmin & Chan Kyu
Started this randomly because I liked how the plot sounded and was pleasantly surprised to see Changmin and Chan Kyu as part of the cast! They both played their roles well and I wish the series was longer and more developed, I feel like it had really great potential. I agree with others it was too rushed by the end. I hope to see these 2 in more series moving forward!Was this review helpful to you?
Se eles tivessem tempo, poderia ter sido bom.
O grande prejudicial desse BL é a falta de tempo em seus 6 episódios de 10 minutos, ás vezes menos. Não acho o plot uma coisa diferentona, a gente sabe o que vai acontecer e como, mas se eles tivessem tempo eles poderiam ter desenvolvido essa história e a relação dos protagonista, que são de fato o motivo para eu não deixar uma nota baixa pra esse BL. Os dois protagonista são ex participantes do His Man 2, ou seja, são gays assumidos nesses papéis, protagonizando cena de beijo, o que para mim já valeu e muito, pois se eles tivessem tempo eles poderiam ter entregado bastante e é isso. Não é algo que recomendo, não diria tempo perdido pois leva uns 50 minutos para terminar esse bl mas o romance fica com aquém aqui.Was this review helpful to you?
Talvez eu tenha perdido alguma coisa pelo caminho.
Eu tô tentando até agora entender o que foi que eu assisti...E não é nem que eu não tenha gostado do final. Acho que o problema é que eu simplesmente não senti que a narrativa foi construída de um jeito que me ajudasse a entender como os personagens chegaram até aquele ponto. E aí eu não consegui engolir direito.
Também fiquei com a impressão de que existem vários buracos na história, várias ideias que foram apresentadas e nunca realmente desenvolvidas ou explicadas.

Quando foi anunciado, fiquei curiosa para assistir, coloquei na lista e segui a vida, até hoje ver que já tinha sido finalizado e assistir.Achei toda a história bem superficial, sem abordar todos os temas abordados com algum significado mais profundo ou intensidade. É um drama sem foco, que você assiste sem esperar nada.
Os atores foram ok, o amigo era lindo, o casal o beijo foi ok, mas a história deixou a desejar
O salto de 5 anos não fez nenhuma diferença porque ainda eram namorados e só
