amazing. it was soo fun. The acting and the production were all so high quality. The intimate scenes were SO GOOD! Like dancing and the kisses. Around the end like 1hr 40min or so, I love that hot almost-sex scene. I really love the end. All the dances were amazing.

I wish this movie was a drama instead. tbh some stuff went too fast paced cuz it was only 2 hr, it needed more even an hour or 2 extra. Also more reciprocating from Sugiki, Anyways, the actors killed it. I knew the cherry magic ML was good but I never knew THAT good

6.5 or 7 stars

I really liked with MC trying to get Ml to fall in love with him. The first half was good and interesting, but then the second half started to bore me. Once they got together, I just wasn't interested in the plot, like the exbf ect. I wish they just talked to each other. I started to skim a bit once I reached ep 15 or so. But I liked their chemistry.

I love this drama, the journey they went through was filled with obstacles. At first I was hesitant to watch this drama cuz people call ML someone who's super unredeemable and a black flag. Like, not even red. Usually I don't like those types of abusive MLs but I really enjoyed this story. First off, the story was excellent; every episode something was happening. It was like a train wreck; I couldn't look away. I was hooked on each episode and binged it.
This was more of a psychological drama, which was really interesting. A lot of manipulation and mindgames happened

MC and ML's chemistry was on firee. Great acting between the two. Also I love how stylish their clothes were.

I love how strong MC was after enduring sm. It took him some time before he gave in to ML at the end.
 The way the drama portrayed ML's trauma and the episodes he'd get was well done. Tbh I started to feel sorry for him. Obviously he needs a therapist lol. I know some people may say that ML is only faking it at the end, that he didn't change. But by the end I do think he changed for the better. And the way he was trying to set things right in that 1 year. Personally I'm really glad they got their happy ending, I'm not a fan of sad endings. They went through sm, I just really hope they will work this time. I wish we had another ep or 2 seeing their life together now

I literally haven't slept since starting this drama. It's 5am right now, and I couldn't stop watching. I heard so many good things about this drama; I can't believe it took me soo long to finally get to it.

The plot was gripping. From the first ep, I couldn't stop watching. The whole twin switcheroo was fun to watch and how White had to navigate this whole new life and became part of the gang.  The mystery behind who hunted down Black was also really good. I realized who in ep 5 but wasn't 100% sure. The action and mission parts were fun. I enjoyed the romance sm, I really love how we got to see them slowly become friends and then lovers. And then once they got together, it became sooo cute. I love how ride or die they are for each other. And the second couple was a really nice watch too. I love them together and that painting scene is engraved in my memory. So beautiful. Last ep honestly made me tear up, I love it and how everything ended nicely too.

The acting from everyone, especially MC, was top-notch. He could convincingly play twins and make their whole vibe feel different too. And I love how protective Black is of White. Loved the brother bonding.

However I didn't really like that Black's gang and friends he made kinda was ok that he left. I thought he'd have some loyal friends who wanted to see him still like Gram but he only cared about being with Black's ex girlfriend

I couldn't stop smiling as I was watching this. It's a really cute fluffy drama where the popular ML is in love first. I really like how considerate he is of MC. He's so loving towards him; it's so sweet. Love how patient he is. I love the friendship with ML's friends as well. They were all very supportive and not the stuck-up type of popular friends.  Ngl at the end I did start to get a lil bored but it's still enjoyable overall. The extras were cute and the ending made me grinning sm

I can 100% see myself rewatching this in the future. A fluffy, cozy BL drama. It gave me those high school shounen ai manga vibes I used to read

there's so many eps that come out everyday, it's hard to keep up lol

I don't usually watch dramas when they start to air not long ago but I've been waiting for this last year ever since I watched the anime season 1. I'm glad I got to watch it. I really like this couple; they're the best friends to lovers with a slow burn. I love how they resolve any conflicts between them pretty fast; they have trusted each other so much since the start. It's just really nice to see a drama where the leads work together, scheme together, and just overall respect one another.

I'm so glad that I finally got to watch ML's acting in a lengthy drama! He's amazing. I first watched him in A Familiar Stranger, and he was SO GOOD! I know that last year he had 2 big dramas, but the plot didn't interest me. I might give it a try another time. I liked FL here too; it's my first time seeing her, and I thought she did a really good job.

The story is good, but tbh it's not really my type of story I like. Political intrigue and palace dramas are usually boring to me. Actually it helped that I watched this drama since around the start of airing, so I was able to take breaks from the story and not be too bored from the politics (it did get interesting in ep 20-25).Although the beginning started out funny and lighthearted but then turned darker which I liked. But what I love about this story is the leads' unwavering strength in each other and the side characters. I love the side characters sm like the scholars and 2FL. they were such great characters. I love 2FL's character growth and had a more well-rounded role later on.

The ending is good. I mean I knew it was gonna end with censorship, so we coudn't see a better ending cuz it was a bit abrupt in the drama. But I like that they clearly showed that they remembered each other.

It was fun waiting for the drama and watching the discussions happen too.

I enjoyed this. It’s cute and heartwarming . I love that their personalities are so different but work well together. It really feels like watching a bl manga with how MC monologue things
