start at episode 44

Overall: I did not find the actions/approach of the ML romantic. You can start at episode 44 to skip that. 50 episodes about 2 minutes each, 1-5 free on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LvtMmuuDqE Aired on the Shortime app, My invite link is https://playground.shortime.app/en/invite/NKNIWI - the code is NKNIWI (those are all capital letters, that's the capital letter i)

Content Warnings: non con kisses, manhandling, non con picture taking/sharing/outing, punch, fight

What I Liked
- supportive sister
- visuals
- tried to clear something up right away
- good kissing (when finally it was mutually wanted)

Room For Improvement
- the non con/ignoring boundaries
- quack noises
- several times jumps
- that a character didn't recognize another character
- love rival
- too many flashbacks
- the "I don't like guys"
- fought over him like he was an object and not a person

It's not exactly a must-watch, but it's not a "avoid at all costs" either.

The plot isn't particularly special. However, if you're a fan of Jeon Yu-bin, it wouldn't be a bad choice since you can see a new side of him.

Other than that, it's decent enough to kill some time. The plot doesn't break out of the typical limitations of short-form dramas, so it lacks any distinct character.

Cute short uni bl

This is rather cute. A bit of simple fluff that is a bit silly in the beginning (using trickery to get to act with and kiss your crush is frowned upon today) but takes on more form and increases it's quality towards the end as they have proper conversations. It is lightweight entertainment but does the job quite cleanly.

Dropped after episode 8 due to abundant consent issues. Yejun laid out clear boundaries that he didn’t want to kiss while standing in, but Jaehyeon tried to go in for one anyways. When Yejun runs away, Jaehyeon gets in his face as if he’s going to kiss him again and then whispers in his ear about whether he’s tempted. And Jaehyeon touches Yejun hair. It’s made worse by the fact that Jaehyeon personally picked Yejun to stand in because he likes him. Jaehyeon grabs and hugs Yejun without consent and uses the excuse that he’s preventing classmates from seeing him. When Jaehyeon hurts his leg, he guilts Yejun into nursing him and makes Yejun feed him even though his hands work perfectly fine. Jaehyeon watches Yejun sleep and kisses his cheek. All within the first 8 episodes <2 min episodes. There was absolutely nothing sweet, redeeming, or entertaining present to make me want to keep watching.
