9/10 Outstanding drama
So I wasn't expecting much from this drama. I was in a mood and decided to search up some spicy BL dramas to watch and weirdly this one came up. What I wasn't expecting was the emotional toll and surprise I had. Though I was so angry with the dude with the glasses (forgot his name) for using the other guy like that during their college years. And the guy went crawling back almost, I was like NO. But anyway, their acting was absolutely amazing and the guy with the glasses knows how to look at somebody. The amount of eye contact was insane. Anyway, it was a unique drama and I highly recommend if you're looking for something emotional and heartfelt. Well made Japanese BL.Was this review helpful to you?
7/10 Good but should be better
7/10 Good but should be betterIt is good, but can be and should be better. There is just too much indecision and characters thinking to themselves and immaturity, and not enough being braver and acting on what they're thinking. I get that this is all part of any relationship, but not for an entire series, down to the last few seconds.
And Benjamin should have gotten a swift kick to the curb. It was implied that Benjamin only invited Yanase back to Vancouver because of personal interest, not professional interest. Yanase should have realized this, rejected the offer, and stayed with the guy he already knew he loved. Finding and fulfilling love is too important to put in a shelf for a year, not knowing if it will still be there if and when you return.

10/10 So heartwarming and cute
10/10 So heartwarming and cuteI loved this movie so much. Not only is the movie it self good, but the soundtrack is beautiful! My favorite song from the entire soundtrack and movie would have to be the title track Wish You. The way the movie is emotional and some points, heartwarming, cute, and amazing with an incredible story line and plot is mind blowing. The last 10 minutes had me crying, kicking my feet with joy, and screaming out of happiness. I don't know how to react to this happiness! ! recommend this so much to anyone who wants to watch a cute romance story with character and development. This movie gave me butterflies on some parts of how cute it was.
I'm for sure rewatching and am currently looking for movies similar to this.

10/10 Whoever wrote this is an actual genius
This show was genuinely an absolute joy to watch. When I first began watching it, I wasn't aware there were scenes after the end credits until like episode 4, so if you haven't watched it yet be sure to wait for/skip the credits for those scenes!- The plot is honestly very heartwarming and cute, especially if you've had your own pets. I really sympathized with the feelings of loss, nostalgia, etc in this series.
- Both the main couple and side couple stories were so good. I admittedly took more interest in the side couple because I found it to be a more unlikely but cute romance.
The main couple was to be expected, but I'm glad this series had a happy ending.
- As for the title of my review; I think it's really cool how the (what do you call the people who write these stories again?
Authors? Directors? I don't know film vocab.) creator incorporated the stereotypes of dogs and cats into the story. It's again, to be expected, but it was nicely done in a way where it doesn't feel too awkward but you're still like,
"ohh yeah, he was for sure a dog," y'now?
- At any rate, this is a really cute series and I highly recommend it. Honestly I'm surprised this BL isn't talked about as much, it deserves more love. Twisting the plot around, two guys are in love with this one guy's dead reincarnated (?) pets...huh.

10/10 Very Sweetie
10/10 A Heartwarming Story Worth WatchingThis series may tell a familiar story, but it does so with a charm and sincerity that makes it stand out. From the very first episodes, I found myself completely invested in the characters and their journey. The show creates a warm and comforting atmosphere that makes it easy to connect with the emotions of the story and the people at its center.
The acting is solid across the board, with the cast bringing plenty of personality and heart to their roles. What I appreciated most was how naturally the relationships developed, allowing viewers to become emotionally attached to the characters and their struggles. The series balances romance, drama, and lighthearted moments in a way that keeps every episode enjoyable.
While the story follows some familiar BL tropes, it embraces them confidently and delivers exactly the kind of emotional experience many fans look for. The chemistry between the leads, the touching moments, and the overall feel-good atmosphere make it an easy series to binge.
By the end, I was left with a smile on my face and a genuine appreciation for the journey. It’s a sweet, engaging, and heartfelt BL that reminds us why simple stories can still be incredibly effective when told with care. Definitely a series I would recommend to anyone looking for a romantic and enjoyable watch. A well-deserved 10/10.

10/10 Like cold soju after a long day
10/10 Like cold soju after a long dayThis series was honestly very refreshing and sweet to watch. It doesn't feature any heavy drama or strongly conflicting characters, and instead focuses solely on the development of the relationship between the two main characters. Although some might find that boring and lacking of an interesting plot, I think it's what makes this series so different from the other ones out there; and it's quite nice to see. The only thing I wish was different were the kissing scenes. They're very cute, but I feel like in this series it would've been nice if they were a *little* spicier, y'know what I'm sayin'? It's not necessary though, and I understand there could be reason behind why they didn't make it like that. At any rate, I'd recommend this series if you need a break from the mafia and evil stepmom melodramas. It's rare to find series like this where they're not overly angsty/aggressive. Give it a try!

10/10 Beautifully Emotional
10/10 Beautifully EmotionalI started this series with very few expectations, and that turned out to be one of the best decisions because it completely drew me into its story. From the beginning, I found myself curious about the characters’ past and the experiences that shaped who they had become. The gradual unveiling of their history kept me invested and eager to discover what would happen next.
One of the series’ greatest strengths is its emotional storytelling. Rather than relying on dramatic twists, it focuses on longing, regret, personal growth, and the courage it takes to reconnect with someone important. Watching Yeon Woo’s determination and unwavering feelings was both touching and heartfelt, while the evolving relationship between the leads felt meaningful and sincere.
The flashbacks and glimpses into their shared past add depth to the narrative, allowing viewers to piece together their journey while appreciating how much they have grown. The series trusts its audience to understand the emotions between the characters, creating a subtle and mature romantic atmosphere.
The performances are gentle and natural, perfectly suited to the story’s tone. Instead of exaggerated displays of affection, the actors convey emotions through small gestures, expressions, and quiet moments that speak volumes. Their connection feels warm, comforting, and authentic.
Despite its short format, the series delivers a memorable experience filled with emotion, nostalgia, and hope. It’s the kind of BL that stays with you after the final episode, reminding you that love is not always about grand declarations but about finding your way back to the person who matters most. A beautiful and rewarding watch that deserves a perfect 10/10.

10/10 Please ,No
10/10 Please, NoThis South Korean BL mini-series was such a pleasant surprise. What starts as a lighthearted romantic comedy quickly becomes an entertaining and charming story filled with humor, warmth, and plenty of memorable moments. The series never takes itself too seriously, which allows its playful energy and lovable characters to shine throughout every episode.
One of its greatest strengths is its easy-going atmosphere. The blend of light drama and romantic comedy creates a fun viewing experience that is perfect for anyone looking for something sweet and relaxing. The story moves at a comfortable pace, balancing comedy and romance without losing its charm.
Cho Myeong Gyun brings a unique presence to his role, portraying a character whose awkwardness and reserved personality feel intentional and relatable. His performance gives the character a distinctive charm, especially as his emotional journey unfolds. Combined with a likable cast and enjoyable chemistry between the leads, the series succeeds in creating plenty of heartwarming moments.
As a mini-series, it knows exactly what it wants to be and delivers it well: a cute, funny, and feel-good BL that leaves viewers with a smile. While it may not rely on grand drama or complicated twists, its simplicity is part of its appeal. A delightful watch that perfectly captures the charm of the rom-com genre and earns a well-deserved 10/10.

7/10 Short and simple
7/10 Short and simpleThe Nameless Season is a cute and light microseries-honestly, it feels like something they could've just made into a short movie instead. The plot is super simple, not much really happens, but it still kept me entertained while I was working on my laptop.
It's about two boys who are classmates and friends, and one of them secretly likes the other. Not a lot of characters, and it definitely feels like a low-budget Korean BL, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
My only complaint is how slow some of the conversations are. Like in one scene where they're eating and drinking, it takes forever for someone to answer a question-it just drags a bit.
But I actually liked how it ended! I thought it would be one-sided love, but the ending was sweet and satisfying. If you're just looking for something light and easy to watch in one sitting, I'd recommend it.

10/10 Great Chemistry
10/10 Great ChemistryThis BL series is, without a doubt, one of the best I’ve ever watched. From the very first episode, it completely captured my attention and never let go. The chemistry between the leads is absolutely phenomenal, making every interaction feel natural, heartfelt, and incredibly believable. Their connection is the kind that makes you smile, laugh, and become emotionally invested in every step of their journey.
The story is beautifully written, balancing romance, emotion, and character development with remarkable care. Every episode brings something meaningful, whether it’s a touching moment, a heartfelt conversation, or a scene that leaves you eagerly waiting for more. The couple is undeniably adorable, and their relationship develops in a way that feels both authentic and deeply satisfying.
The cast is perfectly chosen, with each actor bringing charm and personality to their role. Combined with excellent production values and memorable storytelling, the result is a series that feels special from beginning to end. Heartwarming, engaging, emotional, and unforgettable, this is exactly the kind of BL that reminds you why you love the genre. I cannot recommend it enough. A flawless 10/10 experience.

6/10 Short Series' aren't for me but...
l've returned to change my review score from a 4/10 to 7/10.After thinking it though, as a short series, it does a pretty good job with the story line and relationship building between the two leads.
- There's a few comedic and cute romance scenes throughout, as well a small conflict scene that is included near the end which was handled quite smoothly- which is impressive considering how short a time they had to tell it....? (Idk how you'd normally phrase that) - The ending is decently satisfying, and honestly if you're look to watch a short BL office romance thing this might be for you! It wasn't
*amazing* for me since I prefer normal lengthed series, but if you're an avid short series watcher I hope you'll consider watching it!
- Or maybe I don't hope you watch it? I wouldn't know if you do or not. Erm anyway...! (030)

8/10 Must watch for Love Triangle / Romcom lovers
To be honest I clicked on this just because Arin looked too pretty on the thumbnail and I didn't have anything better to watch. I was almost dropping it at episode 1 when she turned into a man, thinking that it will be a complete sausage fest after that. But it turned out to be a really decent show with unexpectedly good acting, especially when you consider the ages and short filmography of the actors. In some scenes you can actually see the Arin in Jung-hoo and it is my first time experiencing this among all the other gender switch shows I have watched. I haven't read the webtoon but I could easily imagine the panels while watching the show since the cast fit their character types perfectly. When you combine all of these with good writing you eventually end up asking yourself "what would I do in a situation like this" and the answers, confusions, self doubts, late realizations matches to what we see on the screen very appropriately. It's not just a feel good show that you are gonna forget 2 weeks later. Actually if you dive a little bit deeper into it you can feel the heart wrenching love story that ends with regrets and what ifs that inspired the writer to write her story with a new ending.Was this review helpful to you?
6/10 Typical BL
Nothing groundbreaking. I liked how it had a 'leading up to sex' scene with the bottom shirtless. The physical chemistry wasn't really there imo but props for including one at all.And the makeup and hair styling were pretty good.
The evil brother was too stereotypical and there wasn't enough time to make it work. Only at episode 5-6 did I get actually invested. There was a lot to build on between the two leads. I don't think the evil brother aspect was necessary.
Its all forgivable though due to the short run time. Its 80~ minutes total. A good pallete cleanser when burnt out from long intricate series.

8/10 Great until the end...
8/10 Great until the end...It was great until the end, but too many gaps in the story line leave me frustrated. Why did Tommy leave without a good-bye? Why did they not keep in contact? Surely they already had each other's phone numbers, but they didn't call? Why did they not visit each other? Why didn't Ba Da have an option to move with Tommy to wherever he went, rather than just being left alone? Why did Tommy suddenly decide to return? It seems that Ba Da was hurt by Tommy's disappearance, but they didn't talk about that, and just seemed to pick up where they left off a year earlier? I keep trying to ask the characters these questions, but they don't answer me.
