Variety is the spice of life
This was an enjoyable ensemble showcasing the varied talents of numerous artists, various plots with just enough variance to capture the wide range of the viewing audience. Some were liked more than others and with good reason. The main theme remained the same Kiss Kiss Sex.
Ep 1 - Raise Me
This was a nice introduction. Nothing shocking but a cute beginning for us and them. This was the sit down and relax piece for us to get comfortable. Here the characters fell in love over the care of one plant. It was nice. 7
Ep 2 - Folding? You!
Then it jumped to this. The most juvenile of all would see a fanatical origami artist be enticed by his only fan. It was irritating to hear the artist's constant chatter but his fan found a way around it and into his heart. 5
Ep 3 - Sweet Mischief
I don't like blackmail even tho this was used to encourage the budding feelings of the blackmailer for his prey. He was cute and funny whilst creating scenarios for them to meet and for the latter to loosen up and hopefully learn to like him. It worked. 6
Ep 4 - Sleep Around, Still Mine
What happens when Mr Casual catches feelings for Mr Clingy? He tries to keep it without any strings attached due to a previous intense relationship but realizes who really matters now. It was a nugget of raw emotions. 6.5
Ep 5 - Craving You
I liked this one even with it's clichés. The manager restraining his feelings for the success of his artist under his control. Said artist craves him with all his emotional baggage. What's not to like? 7
Ep 6 - Not A BL
A club where fantasies are fulfilled. The line blurs between acting and being a host. This was different but seemed a bit over dramatic in delivery. Music was all over the place. 4.5
Ep 7 - Something Sweet
The amateur scenarios didnt quite fit and when coupled with their performances, it was not an easy watch. Tried to be funny cute. Failed. 3.5
Ep 8 - A Killer Recipe
Saved the best for last. This was the best execution of all the stories. The history between them would help propel the story and raise expectations. The acting was above all and though it was rushed to complete the story, inserting the diary, helped the time jump to the resolution. 7.5
Final concensus:
For the most part, the stories were interesting. The weaknesses lay in the performances but as a whole was enjoyable. Don't go in with high expectations but take it as a little escape for 20 min per story to unwind after a long day.
