short but realistic
This was a different watch than what I am used to.At first the misunderstandings made me feel quite uneasy and unnecesary. Then I realised, that's actually kinda realistic and didn't feel too blown out of proportion. The portrayal of emotions is raw and easy to relate to.
The show is nothing too special, but has a nice real feeling at the end for me.
It's worth a look, but for me not a rewatch.

Only the ending isn't satisfying
I went into this series without expecting much due to the short running time, but I was positively suprised by how much I enjoyed the story and chemistry of the actors.The story isn't anything grand but it made me laugh unexpectedly and the tension between the main cast definetly is catchy.
The only downside of this watch, is the ending. It's not satisfying cause of the kind of open ending...? I was startled, one second I was immersed into the plot and the next it was just done. I hope they make another season for this show.
I would watch it again and I do recommend a Look into it.

Not Bad But Lacking
Unfortunately for me, the weak production and audio quality takes away some enjoyment of this drama. I believe, it would be a better experience if they put in more care there.Generally the story isn't bad and the plot twist is nice, however not as unexpected as I hoped. I felt it coming for a while, so it wasn't really impactful on me.
The acting is a little rough and was kinda hard to take serious at some points, but in different scences the main cast does deliver an emotional performance.
I will not be coming back to this GL, if you wanna check it out tho, still do that. I believe some people are going to enjoy this more than I could.

Hoped For a Bad Ending
I am actually the biggest Ray hater. She pissed me off so bad, I complained to myself the entire time.*Warning, I really just vent in this review about how much I hate it so be aware*
Usually I am a sucker for good endings, I always hope for the best and get disappointed if that doesn't happen. With this one... I prayed for them to not end up together.
From the very beginning I didn't like Ray. She was not understanding of others situation, immediately jumped on Kate as soon as she saw her, which I find quite inapproriate as she hired her as a model. And yes Kate accepted the advance... but still, you just don't do that.
When they started their relationship it was just a Friends with Benefits... fine, they put up rules... good. Ray breaks a rule SHE HERSELF MADE UP, CAUSE SHE DIDN'T WANT A REAL RELATIONSHIP!!!!! The rule beeing, we stay single and don't mingle with others while we have this going on together. Ray goes out, hooks up with several girls, ignores Kate, takes the calls of other girls while in the same bed as Kate and even brings one home, even tho Kate was currently staying with her due to an emergency.
So what does Ray do, when Kate comes home to see her make out with another....?! She blames Kate for interrupting!! WTH??!
Kate, who just had to fall for this woman, blurts out that she likes Ray, which leads to them ending this realtionship, due to Ray demanding they end, it cause of the other rule : If one of us falls for the other, we stop.
And immediately Ray regrets it.... gets drunk a few days later and shows up at Kate's door. She tells her she loves her, brings up a random sad past about her family to justify everything (which was irrelevant till now) and they are now a proper couple....
So yeah I hate it. Kate deserved way better!! I wanted them to stay away from each other at the end... but yeah it's a "happy ending".
Do not recommend, I can't say anything good about this. Just skip it.

Nothing Good To Say
Just skip this one, not worth it at all.The story doesn't make sense, it's all over the place and honestly annoyed me. I don't even get the title of the drama, the cat was lowkey unnessecary to the plot. And why are we playing this hard to get Thian?! Only to keep this story going cause there was nothing else to do with it.
Acting was also meh to me. The situations seemed really fake and unnatural, chemistry was off and the dialogue... quite odd.
The voice audio gets overshadowed by annoying sound effects, music and is in general really quiet. In one scene the voice audio is basically gone, don't know what happend there.
In conclusion don't watch it. Waste of time, the only nice I can say is that it ended fast.

Cute and Quick
For a low production quality, this is one of the better ones.It's nothing exceptional, but nobody expected that from a mini series.
Cast is cute together and shows emotions in a realistic manner. Of course the pacing is a lil off and jumps from one situation to the other, that's the fault of the length per ep tho.
They just had to put some angst in it as well at the very end, kinda unnessecary it would have also worked without!!
Sometimes I just wanna see more fluff but maybe that's just me.
So this is a watch while doing smt else, you're not gonna miss stuff and can just enjoy for funsies.

Missing Informations Without Prequels
Without having watched the previous content relating to this drama, I was quite confuesed and didn't get a lot of stuff. It seems like you have to watch several different earlier movies/series to get the gist of the plot.The cast is doing a good job and are fun to watch, however I acually enjoyed having the three side couples on screen way more than the pairing of Takumi and Gii. To me, as them being the main couple, I feel the weakest chemistry and actually wished to see more of the others. Unfortunately we don't get to see much of the side couples, which kinda disappoints me but yeah, they are not the main plot.
Visually speaking, this BL is very pleasent and relaxing, which the music underlines nicely.
In summary, it's not a bad watch, but you have to have the knowledge of the prequels otherwise you will have difficulties getting the entire picture. I will probably not be returning, if they release more content relating the other pairings, I will be watching those tho.

No real Plot
So this GL felt kinda... I would say unnecessary to me.There is not a lot happening for the storyline, I also don't really like the characters and their relationships to each other.
I have to say that I did see the chemistry between the cast, especially Ferin who has two partners in this drama, which is not the easiest tast. Unfortunately I still wasn't convinced .
The audio quality has an annoying background noise that distractes from the conversations happening, which gets on the nerves. But maybe on another platform this issue isn't there.
Personally I woudn't recommend watching this drama, it does not deliver well for me.

Not Worth My Time
So this BL is overall disappointing.From the awkward acting, to the unrealistic ending and not to forget the weird development of the leads' relationship... a overall messy drama. The story actually doesn't sound too shabby and starts off interesting, but the entire package does not come through as a well built drama.
I do not recommend watching this BL, not enjoyable and even got me annoyed at the characters.

Chemistry is always nice
A short drama that definitely shows off the chemistry between Up and Poom!Unfortunately the story felt lacking and really erratic to me. It did make me laugh a few times tho, so I woudn't say it's a bad drama in general. I also liked the japanese element with the father of Poom, maybe they'll be able to act more in different countries in the future.
Sadly it was really hard to find a platform to watch it on, so good luck if you wanna start watching;)

Best Short Drama Yet
I'm still baffled by how much I enjoyed watching this drama.The chemistry between the male couple is sizzling and fun to watch. The story has some (random lol) suprises as well, that I didn't see coming at all, but is captivating enough that I binged it in one go.
The only strange aspect is the relationship between one of the male leads and his stepsister... which doesn't help making her more likeable.
Regardless of that, I will be rewatching this unexpected gem and do think it's worth a look for others.

Missing Context
This story left me overall confused.You don't get insight to the past relationship of the couple, but it gets constantly mentioned. That makes it difficult to understand why they behave the way they do. It feels overly sensitive and the dialouge is being repeated quite a few times.
I hope the actors will get a better chance to show off their talent, they seem promising and were the best thing about this BL.
Personally I woudn't recommend it to my friends, but if you wanna support the actors, check it and them out.
