The plot didn't convince me

The beginning wasn't bad at all. It's a shame that the story began to be more and more cliché after episode 2. After that, the plot was predictable and I wasn't really invested in it at all.
The actors seemed fine to me, I think that with a better plot, it could have had a lot of potential.
The kiss tho ? The angle of the camera to hide it didn't convince me.
If you want to watch a drama just to pass time, I'd say why not, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend if you expect something with a high quality story.

The conflicts die without explanation

The story don’t have real stakes, real motivation to go on and every conflict simply vanishes like it was nothing. For exemple, the villan goes to a reporter to distroy the carear of the actor, but the reporte refuses. Instead of going to another reporter he simply give up, BUT WE DON’T EVEN SEE HIM GIVING UP. The plot simply goes away.

They explain to us what happened on their school in the past, but we don’t see him apologising and explaini mg what happened to the other character, his anger simply goes away.

They introduces the conflicts and simply do not solve them in a proper way, they simply brushes under the carpet.

It delt like they hire the actors and the director and simply invented the story while shooting the show

A little boring

For a web type series, I thought this was pretty decent. I liked our two main characters and thought they were cute together. The concept of the show was nice as well. I liked seeing them get closer again as they worked on their play. I do wish we got to see more of the play at the end since that's what it all was leading up to. Overall, I thought it was cute but a little boring at times.

The lead actor is way better than this

Some things that were missing: A budget, supporting cast & extras, singing, direction.
Some things worth the watch: The actors are good in other projects, Yang Hong Seok is a really good actor & I wonder if he did this to give his friend a boost into the business or for his own transition into KBL.
Some things to consider: His co-lead is very new & the kissing scenes were not believable. This is direction, camera angles & experience, when all 3 are lacking then this is what you get.
A great storyline but not executed well enough for any rewatch value. I would have liked more singing because Hong Seok has a lovely voice, as does his Shin Jun Seop & they were rehearsing a musical. I didn't catch who produced or directed this but they have much potential & will improve I'm sure.

Good potential but missed the mark...

I felt like the story had potential, but it was held back by several reasons. Overall the acting was average. The writing felt a little lazy. There were a lot of chance encounters that conveniently happened, and the same goes for misunderstandings, especially the one in episode 4 which felt unrealistic and manufactured just to create a misunderstanding to stretch out the story. My biggest disappointment was touching of the lips and calling it kissing. It was barely acceptable back in 2022... But it's 2026 and there have been a lot of Korean BLs that have had real kissing scenes. If an actor is going to act in a BL series then he needs to commit to the kissing scenes. It should be viewed the same way as playing a heterosexual relationship role. It's Korea, so heavy, passionate kissing isn't the norm even in mainstream shows, but barely touching the lips together isn't acceptable anymore.

Good But Not Great…

I think we are way past this point with Korean BL, but I guess I was wrong.

This isn’t a bad watch, but there’s so much that the story (acting) could do better. The actors’ acting isn’t reaching me at all, and I know it’s still too early to judge what their chemistry would be like.

I don’t particularly dislike the storyline, it’s okay, but the execution is a bit mehhhh in my opinion.

If it were say, 2020 or 2021 or even 2022 and we got a KBL like this, I would have been too excited that we at least even got something, but this is 2026, and we expect better than what this is giving so far.

Should you watch it? Yeah, well, if you feel like it

Beautiful cinematography

Though it was a simple story, i really liked this drama.
The cinematography is beautiful and it has beautiful visuals and music, the actors both sang beautiful in the last episode.

The actors did a great job, i really like the acting of both mains. They are both very likable.
The mains have amazing chemistry, the kisses were mostly just lips touching but in ep. 6 we got a decent enough kiss.

I really don't understand the negative reviews, i enjoyed it a lot!

It had it's flaws but was beautiful

This one was a really sweet and cute watch. Although people kept complaining about the kiss. I really don't think the kiss scenes were bad. The actors had great chemistry and the kiss scenes were fine for a KBL. Let's not be pervs and expect Thai BL kinda kiss everywhere🙄. But yeah for some reason the moment they kiss the camera angles start going all weird and fast making the whole scene look weird compared to the whole drama.

This couple kinda reminds me of kristsingto and ohmnanon cz there wasn't any typical seme uke indication here. From the height I Hyeon seemed like the seme but action wise jae on seemed like the seme... i am kinda leaning towards Jae on being the seme ngl. So yeah this is my 1st time seeing this in a KBL. Usually they make it obvious.

They also made sure to add real ost for this series eventhough it's a short drama which I've not seen before in short dramas. Usually they just have random bgm

The reason for a 9 is cz i felt lot of things were kinda left unanswered. Like why was the new actor working with the lawyer? What would happen when I Hyeon knows what the lawyer tried to do? How does the 2nd couple's relationship progress etc.. probably season 2???? Idk

But yeah i liked it

hmm kinda boring ngl

tem uma premissa interessante mas a mornice dos atores em momentos de intimidade me entristeceu um pouco. genuinamente não consigo entender qual desses cantores que vão pra atuar para ficar igual uma porta durante toda série.

sobre a narrativa da história tem elementos interessantes, principalmente nessa questão de ser uma história que começa no passado e vai seguindo até o presente. gostaria que tivessem explorado os sentimentos dos personagens de forma verbal e entre eles mas considerando que a química nao era muito boa talvez foi melhor assim

Digendong Hongseok

Jujur, kalau bukan karena Hongseok, apa "hook" dari series ini yang bisa digaungkan??.

Pakai aktor bekas idol dari mantan grup terkenal > ngasih storyline yang sangat MID > berharap dapet rating tinggi. Terlalu template. Well, at least mereka ga pakai elemen yang AI-generated.. even kalau ada pun, berarti jumlahnya sangat sedikit dan directornya pintar membalutnya sampai aku ga ngeuh kalau misal beneran ada. Miris ih jaman sekarang series bisa masuk kategori "Decent" kalau minim ditemukan AI-generated. Padahal ada banyak komposisi lain yang bisa dipertimbangkan. Salah satu drama yang menggunakan banyak elemen AI tapi masih bisa aku maafkan itu cuman The Prosecutor's Proposal, itupun mereka storyline nya sangat matang dan kita beneran terbawa ke dunia mereka. Sedangkan series Play Me?? cerita savvvmmmpaahhh!.

Outcome yang director harapkan tuh apasihhhh??? greget aku. Konflik masa lalu dari kedua MC ga terlalu di-solve dengan baik. Terus banyak side c yg mengganggu kek si hyung yg controlling bgt tu. ujung2nya dia kalah cuman karena omongan nya si MC? kalo gitu ddari awal ngapain ngehire orang yang dirancang buat menghancurkan karirnya karakter yang diperanin sama Hongseok?? yang bener aja lah, ini arahnya kemana sih??

Falta mais desenvolvimento

O BL é em resumo gostosinho de assistir, mas não que prega e te deixo ansioso para um próximo episódio. Faltou desenvolvimento, tempo de tela sabe. Por isso a nota, eles possuem tanta química e não tiveram tempo para evidenciar mais. O casal secundário faltou sabe, não tinha enredo e foi exposto um possível envolvimento no final, mas sem trabalhar nada sobre. E o que aconteceu na viagem, o espião ao respondeu por nada e não foi mostrado o que aconteceu, simplesmente ele acorda com o braço machucado.
