iQIYI produces a lot of crap and this is no exception...
OMG was that bad. While the script makes at least some sense, the acting is bad and especially the editing is the worst. Even all 53 episodes cut together made this not a movie with any flow. It's just a hack fest, the next scene had nothing to do with the scene before.Of course with an unpolished script and no clear vision from the director there comes bad acting... The small "boy" is too young to be a police officer from the get go, so it's completely unbelievable to begin with. His acting is also very rough. The side characters slide off into soap opera characters, all over-dramatized and over-acted.
So this series is a bad joke and even the chemistry between the leads leaves something to be desired. The only positive note is, that this is one of the few vers couples ever in BL, but that does not help the series at all. Also the production quality was not on par with similar productions. There are some sound problems which also don't help the series and makes me derank it even more. Just don't waste your time with this crap and do something more productive. 🤣

Red Flag Bad Guy Vs Cop
I have to start this review by saying. We really need to take these short dramas for what they are, which is like a soap opera. I thought the actors played their characters very well. The storyline near the end could have used more details, but overall, we got the understanding. I would love to see Elifa and Beibei work together againWas this review helpful to you?
love seeing a switch couple!
a short bl, with both good and bad pointsimo bad points are much more than the good points
what i didnt like: the plot is so messy, dragging,very poorly done
what i liked: the chemistry of the couple, them being a switch couple so openly, i loved that part a lot , in asian bls they rarely show a switch couple so this is refreshing!

Meh, watched worse
As someone who can watch everything (doesn’t matter the plot or acting), there where some parts that I did not understand. Overall, the story has potential, but in my opinion I think they did it quite rushed with some parts that didn’t make sense. It isn’t one of the worst that I watched but it could 100% be better. The music effects did not matched and when you can only watched it vertically is a no for me. I started watching this because of TikTok, and I will not rewatch it again, never.Was this review helpful to you?
The only redeeming thing I can pinpoint is this is the only BL I have ever seen that has vers representation. Both characters top and bottom. I would love to see that in more BLs. People don’t always have strict roles in the bedroom, and people’s personalities and appearances aren’t related to their sexual preferences.

Steamy romance but no cohesive narrative
This is a shorts series designed for viewing on a phone rather than a larger screen, with each episode lasting less than one minute – due to its different format, I was intrigued and decided to give it a try. I didn’t expect it to be amazing, and perhaps that’s why, while it wasn’t the best I’ve seen, I wasn’t entirely disappointed with the final result. My initial low expectations allowed me to watch it with a more open mind.The actors did a commendable job given the limited material they had, and the overall plot was straightforward and easy to follow. Although the execution could have been stronger, there is definitely promise in this series. I wish the production quality had been better and that we had more time to explore the characters.
Overall, while I wouldn’t recommend this to everyone, I believe it has merit and shouldn’t be dismissed solely based on its production value.

A police officer is a booty call to a gangster
That about sums this show up, lmao. This was fine; it was a little random, but overall an okay watch. I would give it a 7.5 out of 10, which is high for these lmao. The plot is random as hell, and it's a police officer x gangster love story with a bunch of random ass twists. I am going to say the pros and the cons, and then that's it.Okay, so the pros for this show are that they are hot. Just starting right off the bat. The guys, at first glance, aren’t the best looking, but they grew on me, so it was okay. The police officer guy lowkey looks like Mad Tsai and Lykns Tui had a baby, and then this guy was that baby's cousin lmao. I know ball apparently, so I did halfway enjoy this show. Also, this show is all types of fucking addictive because I was on the edge of my seat, excited about what was gonna happen next in this weird ass show. They lowkey have good ass fucking chemistry, I can’t lie. So I guess that plays into them being good actors as well. Well, okay, actors, I think I put that in my cons as well lmao. Yeah, their sex scenes were pretty gnarly. I also love when they have drug problems because these shity ass shows always portray them very interestingly and make it seem like, well, what an actual drug problem is. Addicting and consuming, and this show was no different. Ignore the fact that he only stopped doing drugs to get that cookie, but that's fine. All progress is good progress...I guess. They switched positions on episode 39. It was completely left field but fucking awesome, because as much as I love set positions, I also love when they flip or change it up. That’s always nice to see. Daniel, after catching 2 bodies just straight up for the love of the game. I don’t really know where to put that, because it's like a weird middle ground between pros and cons. So, Daniel catching 2 bodies in the final episodes will be a pro, I guess. Yeah, I don’t know. They are good at kissing, well, at least they are really into it. I was laughing my ass off, like dang bro, y'all not going nowhere, why are we kissing so aggressively and so passionately? I thought the ending was pretty cool. A little weird but still cool. And that’s all I have for my notes on the pros of this show. It's a pretty fun short drama.
WHAT DOES THE TITLE EVEN MEAN? Catch me if you love me? Like, he didn’t love you to begin with, I mean, he did, but that's a grey area. And Daniel literally harasses him for the majority of the show, and we wanna talk about Catch Me If You Love Me. What about leave me the fuck alone if you love me? That's a better fucking title. If you have seen marry a ceo or whatever the fuck that bullshit show is called, these start the same. So you know, I was already pissed off. It's the same exact scene, I swear to god. This show did go a different route, but they still have some similarities. Just wrote my recommendation on this lmao. THE FORCED SHIT. Daniel spends most of the show, I think, until they switch positions, forcing himself onto Louis, like fuck. Like we found out later that he has been in love with this whole time, BUT WHEN WE DIDN'T KNOW THAT. LOUIS WAS GETTING BORDERLINE SEXUALLY ASSULATED FOR MOST OF THE SHOW. Especially their first sex scene, his face was just like he didn't want that (even though he did because he was really into it). Does the guy who plays Daniel have a wig on? Like it looked fine and then in one scene, it looked like he had a lace front on, and then I couldn't unsee it for the rest of the show lmao. There feels like a really random time jump in the middle of the show, and that just made me fucking confused, like I don't know why he did that, and also why we didn't connect that better? The plot folds in on itself like towards the end, and I was just so fucking lost, and then finally at the end, I understood, but they should have written that out better and not let the plot just completely fold. The last thing is, I needed more lore. Especially with him being an undercover cop, that was a nice twist, but I just need a little more lore with that because I am like, what the hell are we even doing? Bull shit, I swear. Uh, okay, that is it.
Uh, if you already pay for IQIYI, just watch it, but this feels oddly long for a short drama lmao. It's fun, so just turn off your brain and get ready to be confused and intrigued. Okay bye!

One of the better shorts
This short had a good story and was executed quite well. But the last confrontation at the table wasn't done very well. It would have been a lot better if they just made this a movie instead of a short.Unfortunatly all the fighting scenes looked fake.
It has great visuals.
Acting whole cast was ok, but not great. And the boss of the bad guys was really bad.
The acting of the mains was good and they have great chemistry. The kisses and intimate scenes are also great!

Loses a lot in translation. Literally
Each episode of this mini series is only a few minutes long so it won’t take long to watch, thankfully.The story centres around two men who graduate from the same intake of trainee police officers. One stays on the right side of the law and the other ends up working for his foster (?) father who is a drug lord. One scene sums up this whole drama- the police captain congratulates the good cop for a drug bust that pulls a whopping 3 kilos of cocaine off the streets.
The lead actors’ chemistry in terms of the kiss scenes and between the sheets is of bodice ripping proportions but quite frankly the rest is all a bit rubbish and I think it was only about 30 minutes in that I realised they were working for the same side.
I watched with subtitles and I suspected early that they were translated by someone not particularly fluent in English however by the end I was starting to suspect they weren’t that good in Korean either as parts of the dialogue made absolutely no sense whatsoever.
Would I watch again? Absolutely not even though the leads were pretty on the eye

Short, but not so sweet.
The two MLs saved this little production from dying a horrible death! OMG - the script was dreadful, the support actors not much better - but the saving grace - it was very funny! (the rolling comments across the top pf the screen were pretty funny, too. I do hope to see Ellfa and Beibei in a full-length BL soon.Was this review helpful to you?

Esse BL me lembrou muito o drama vertical chinês "Ai Zai Yun Zhi Nan" com o Zhao Zhen Dong e a Bai Ye, e os dois pecaram muito em coisas básicas de polícia/investigação/infiltrado. A história pode ser até interessante, mas as atuações deixaram muito a desejar, a Tailândia ainda não está preparada para os verticais.
Gostei de ter visto os dois personagens sendo versáteis, acho que para um BL, não gosto quando fazem um ser "a esposa" e o outro o marido e todo esse estereótipo, gostei que os dois mostraram que poderiam ser ativos, o que importava era o momento juntos.
Gostaria de ter visto essa história com uma produção um pouco mais elevada, talvez a experiência fosse melhor, eu estava ansiosa por causa do pôster.
