Level Down!

Everyone changed and not for the better. What was previously an entertaining series turned into a snorefest of stupidity. S2 was very flawed with very little entertainment and a healthy dash of cringe. Every single time Papa and Mama were said, I vascillated between rolling my eyes or watching on mute.

After 1 yr:
Alan, who would have been open with everyone and never hurt anyone, decides to go to Tony for help. Tony, who had robbed him of Way. Yes, that Tony. He showed how frail mentally he was when faced with aging and how human. Becoming Tony's victim and puppet was just sad really. Why try to become invincible? Jeff lost his reclusiveness but became bold and boring. Being with Uncle Alan turned him into Uncle Jeff.

Babe, Babe, Babe. He became stupid and more reckless. By all means, follow the perp to the bathhouse, whom he suspects has powers, but he doesn't know what it is. I'm not sure if I wanted Charlie to save his butt. Literally. Charlie decides to take away Jeff's powers without thinking of the consequences. Stupid. So he has his, Babe's, and Jeff's which caused a system overload and memory loss. Only at the end, would this prove to be an asset on meeting Tony. The question to ask here, why wasn't this thought of before?

Kenta was caught, escaped and allowed them to recapture him again. Let's put that down to all the hits he probably took in his head while working under Tony. Kim was sitting around being a babysitter for an entire season. Save that drift in the car to save Kenta. He was like a comma in a sentence. Just there.

North was more direct with his bestie in S1 but suddenly shy in S2. Sonic wants the relationship but wants North to do the asking. Hmmmm, why? They were open to each other in S1 with no secrets.

Way was interesting. Chris is not. The most interesting thing he did was sit on Pete. When compared to S1 CharlieBabe and AlanJeff, it was a meh kinda moment.
Pete, well, what can be said. He had a "deep" love for Way by keeping a "shrine" for him. Chris steps into the picture. Suddenly, Way became just someone he knew. Loyalty flew out the window the second his nose flew wide open. Very wide. The many times Pete's house was entered by anyone who chose, uninvited and unannounced, and caught before or after the act, well, it did not have the wow factor the writers had hoped.

Two people stayed true to character. Winner remained a weak lackey, and Tony returned as a losing villain. He had all that money and all that power and couldn't do anything that could change outcomes. He should have stayed dead. He rejuvenated to create poor schemes that backfired and remained on the losing end. One would think that capturing Babe from the first episode to lure Charlie would have made better viewing.

I loved the character of Willy. He was the only reason to reach episode 12, but in true stupid fashion, as this was the S2 common thread, it was wasted. He could have done better. He had guile, intrigue, and charm. He could have snapped those fingers in episode 1 and saved us at least 9 episodes of chronic stupidity by all.

The writing depreciated greatly in this season. Save to addition of Willy, the script was dull and repetitious. None of the characters has layers to peal back like Way did. Other than the engines revving, everyone just stood around and chatted. At this rate, they should not think of continuing with another season unless the acting and script get a major overhaul. Though it was great to see them all together again, it was not worth it in the end.

Copious amounts of coffee will be needed if watching.

Was it the right choice?

It started with a nice simple feel to the story with a hint of the spirit world added for mystery. Fine. There was a close knit rural setting which felt like it was secluded from the outer world at times. It started off well enough with TK and Nan Krai (NK) as childhood best friends now into adulthood. NK harbors a romantic love for TK, who seems oblivious to it. On meeting Victor, TK immediately is smitten and its reciprocated. NK realizes this and although he confesses, TK sees it as a brotherly love confession. NK resolves to wait for him as he knows in his heart, only TK would make him happy. Victor returns home and TK grieves for him. Within that period, NK kisses him and TK gently rebuffs him. His heart has made the choice for him. So far so good. On receiving an invitation from Victor he happily travels to meet him. He arrives to find that Victor had passed away.

Here is where a very sharp turn from credible occurs. He returns home and continues to grieve. After a few days, he goes in search NK after remembering NK's love for him, only to learn he too has died in an accident. Broken and distraught, he rushes to the cave and cries out in anger in his despair. He is given a reboot and returns to the day Victor first arrives. He meets him, with tears aflow, he wishes him well and goes to meet NK who comforts him.

My concerns in the story:
Rather than lose two, he settles for NK in the reboot. Does NK deserve to be a second choice?
After the reboot, why did he make the choice to walk away from Victor when he could have made a different choice and be with him since he knows the time of his demise?
His mother's love for him kept him from growing into a man making his own decisions until it was too late. His counterparts were already working. Why did he still need her permission ?
What was the purpose of the twin San Lian telling him to stay? He has read the diary. He is still a stranger to him. He was close to his brother so he invites his lover to stay? No time period given. A week? A month? Just stay. Really?
He welcomes his own death, and feels content in leaving both behind. In doing so, he still causes pain to NK alone and resolves his.
Is all of this a dream sequence to deal with the losses?

My concerns with the writing:
If this is not a dream:-
How can Victor meet him in the afterlife as someone he loved, for the reboot had occurred which prevented their love story from beginning?
Why on his return, no one told him of NK death? After his grieving had abated, he now remembers his friend? Why didn't he question his absence? Their relationship had been written as close friends, why wasn't he told? This felt like, ok since Victor is dead, let me turn to NK.
If he had settled for NK, didn't NK now have the right to meet him in the afterlife as NK was the one who loved him in both versions? Victor didnt know him as such in the reboot.
Why did the writer opt for the easy way out, rather than choosing a partner and sticking with it? It shows an unwillingness to resolve the situation and straddle the fence between. It didn't solve the situation, it erased it thus nullifying the reason for the whole story.
Why do writers create irritating desperate women as the spurned love? Is this a way to show that it's understandable to refuse her advances?
Why were the conversations at times extremely childish and immature? Poop on his shoes. TK touching Victor in the gallery.
Why wasn't a common language used and understood between TK and Victor? Wasn't this the reason for his hire? This felt truly odd.
Why was the humor not humorous and as for the spurned female, consistently outlandish? A woman can be warm, loving and beautiful and still be refused. Rather than making her a caricature.
Why was it necessary to show 2 nc fantasies? The script shouldn't require 2 as he was not the end game. The first could have been omitted. This created a deeper sense of loss to the viewer and more empathy for him than anyone else as he was the one to lose everything in both versions.

Honestly, there were times that were enjoyable as the 3 mls felt matched. The interractions felt natural. NK with TK and also TK with Victor. The writing overall needed to be better. The acting from some needs to be improved and the script, well...... Scenery was ok as it was basically a tour guide while falling in love. Though this could have shortened a bit to allow for the last episode to not feel crammed. I would have preferred a more realistic ending. Watchable, yes.

Nothing To See Here....

This has got to be the most boring hearbreak ever. How can a series with such promise be stifled by the uninspiring storytelling. After episode 2 be prepared to sleep through 4 more levels of boredom. Shi Wen and Shin Nan meet. Are about to share their feelings. SW dies. They meet. They share their feeling and fight for their love. He dies. They meet. SN keeps his feelings to himself. SW lives. The ending lines are apt: If we are doomed to be apart, what is the meaning in meeting? Exactly. What was the purpose of this series? How not to meet your soulmate? There isn't any other conclusion.

The production was just as poor as the script and lackluster acting. The lack of funds is clearly shown in the recycled wardrobe and even more so when it was not changed at all. The mother arrives in one dress and spends days in it as seen when SN is locked away from his lover / step brother. She departs with her husband in the same dress. At least, in these instances, allow the actors to use their own wardrobe. They are not rich so this could have easily been implemented.

SW appears to be clueless to all the events surrounding his deaths. The shows never shows how he gets his rebirth, but like magic he is there waiting to die again. The only continuity is SN. He remembers all the lives. So his purpose is to feel pain at his loss but for everyone else to live blissfully. Really pointless. SW's last death was really hilarious. An overhead light falls, causing a fatal blow to SW as he is on stage giving his speech on winning the prize for his painting. What's funny? He falls, SN rushes to his side and the entire audience and his friends run away leaving them alone. No assistance given whatsoever. The writer of that scene should be made to re-watch it every day for the rest of their lives. The script was going in the same circles with the same conclusion. The director to be fired immediately.

China has produced better than this with probably a lesser budget. Blue Canvas of Youthful Days comes to mind. The actors were like animated caricatures but not giving life to their roles. The unbelief could fill a chasm. Will I recommend this to be viewed, yes. Only if China gets better at producing bls after seeing the reviews of these low funded films and if a person struggles with getting to sleep and needs assistance. Rewatch - definite pass.

Ohm P maybe

I'll grade it as I see it:
Ohm P = B-
Ohm T = C
Papang = C+
James = C
Leng = D
Kidnap = D

Reason:
Ohm P is a very natural actor. Even with a terrible script he still manages to bring some charm to his character and tries to elevate a series that should have been better fine tuned before filming. I truly love seeing him on screen so he gets a pass, though even here he seems a bit too relaxed. His talent was wasted here.

Ohm T is also adorable. He is believable as a sick brother and brings the humor which really helps. Again, the script would have someone who had open heart surgery up and about in a few days like nothing happened. They should have chosen a different medical condition. (Idk....Temporary paralysis due to trauma from parents death. With Min going bankrupt due to rehabilitation and therapy bills. Min feeling guilty due to him causing their death. At one of Mhen's therapy sessions he meets Q.) This scenario might have been more in line with the acting level displayed here.

Papang is a very proficient support actor. He can fit in many roles and he did okay. The thing is, the industry probably doesn't see him possessing the 'IT' factor to carry a series. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love him and have never been disappointed with his acting. They know how good he is that's why he's everywhere. I would like to see him more, even as a second lead with something of substance. Another actor's potential wasted.

Title was all over the place with his roles and I do mean roles. First he was Min's agent, then he was part of the underworld, then surprisingly he became a production assistant, then back to being an informant and finally an actor with aspirations of producing his own film. Couldn't they just pick one? You didn't know whether he was coming or going. He brought some comic relief where needed, so he, also, gets a pass. His acting or his roles could have done with a few more workshops.

Leng is new and one of the downsides of the series. Give him time and he will get better but here it was very obvious. He did fit with Ohm but that is because Ohm is a skilled actor. Leng's body language and facial expressions need work. Real hard work. His interactions came across as rehearsed steps and were not fluid. Out of character, he appears to be fun and open with a big dose of charm. Hoping that he can tap into that for future roles. This vehicle was too much for him.

Script - this was a hodgepodge of scenes stitched together with a plot that verred between a love story, a family drama, an action drama and fantasy. Pick two and mix well, not all four. The expectation of it finally hitting its stride never materialized. This is probably the weakest film for Ohm P but as stated before, he is forgiven. Ohm P makes you believe, even a little. Every Friday, Kidnap did not kidnap me, Ohm P did. The terrible script and sub par acting greatly affected the outcome. At the end, the film within the film, saw Ohm's presence shine more than the original film. So that in itself says alot.

It's watchable but no wow factor. Rewatch....Ohmmmmmm maybe.

What the hell?

There is no amount of Me and Thee, Sangmin Dinneaw and Jack and Joker lunacy could have prepared me for this. It's good that it was done with the most outlandish plot cuz nothing else would have worked. You want to but you can't look away cuz you have this need to know what else could they possibly do. Turns out, a lot. Pockets of entertainment.

Overall, there were humerous moments throughout with a heavy dose of melodrama. The father was a trip. Loved his performances. He had the uncanny ability to show up just at the right moment. I liked the craziness of it all. It was light, fast moving and ultimately entertaining tho a bit redundant. Too many unnecessary clashes.

Donut's voice is something I cannot get used to. Even with a lowered volume and 2x, it felt like a drill into my brain. Didn't like it in TBNW and here. I will say he has potential as an actor. Forth is effortlessly natural. They're good for each other.

Is this format a plus for them? Who knows. I'm reminded that TleFirstOne began with a 2 min vertical series and their popularity has grown enormously. So here's hoping they get to that level also, tho I consider this a step down from TBNW. Probably they haven't found their niche.

Brain activity needed - none. Watchable - yes.

Life From The Rooftop

I'm writing this in 2026 so I'm a few years to late to this funny, endearingly sweet, precocious bundle of fear, regret and true friendship wrapped in love. This had the right touch of humor and drama evenly placed throughout. I found myself warmly embracing it for the entirety.

The characters were enjoyable, the story appropriately placed on the roof, the direction light. Heavy enough to make Ha Neul's breakdown at the hospital sympathetic. Jeong Min, his recent ex had gotten into a car accident. Light enough to make his crumble into a blubbering mess with Jeong Yeon, Jeong Min's sister, funny real. I will forever remember the green suit. Oh, how I loved his honesty while still protecting Jeong Min's sexuality. It was his story to tell. The sister's attitude - a huge plus.

Bong Shik's hesitation was palpable. Fear of rejection had him self sabotaging the best situation of a lifetime. Faced with the a choice to accept or walk away from, he falls into the waiting arms of trust, understanding and quiet determination. His living for the present would soon change to planning a future. His passion for growing plants on the rooftop would symbolize how they faced life. Growth happens facing up towards the sun.

I'm also convinced that Korea has the formula to deliver the best in this genre. Their acting skills alone are above the best with Japan being their closest rival. At some points, I was remined of Love In The Big City - the series. Funny and playful with a message. Lastly, I would not change the ending for anything. Nicely completed.

In Every Universe

This was insightful from beginning to end. Three separate planes but common apsects in alignment with the outcomes. I truly liked the idea of his desire to reinvent himself in different universes hoping for a different future. A different happy. Away from the turmoil of youth and decisions that shape a world he didn’t have the power to control. One singular act with different effects. It was good to see human behaviors rather than contrived ones. I was happy to see the threads used to weave all together. The people he loved and who loved him. He just needed to forgive himself and to live.

A reclusive alcoholic desperate for connection.
An kind hearted alcoholic finally standing up for himself.
A hardworking professor who pulled away from his family.

The similarities: A mother who loved them, a sister who never gave up on him, a love he couldn't forget and literature.

The ending was as it should be and was welcomed. The actors did great. The despondency permeating the film was as it should be. In any universe, your core being will always be true. How you live with yourself will be different. I love this. A really good watch. Something to think about.

Teacher, do you love me?

I like viewing old movies and most times they are more interesting when we watch them in context. The constructs are different as well as the production style. I went into this thinking that the ending would be full of pain and frustration, and unresolved. Most teacher - student relationships end either badly or ambiguously. I was suprised that this was not the case and was handled with the only outcome that best suit their situation.

The greatest asset of this film was that the players that were introduced were used effectively. Amakami entered the school as a new student and both recognized each other immediately, tho with different responses. Amakami with intrigue and pleasure. Aoi, the teacher, with fright and horror at the thought that he slept with a student. Amakami game of toying with him began.

Here we insert the other characters worth mentioning. Ichiyo and Riku. One spinless and the other ruthless. Ichiyo, Amakami's room mate, immediately was drawn to him while Riku, the school's bully, only felt disgust and jealousy. Amakami's aloofness and popularity irritated him. Coupled with the fact that Amakami refused to sleep with him, this set in motion events that change the lives of both Amakami's and Aoi.

Whatever business you enter, there must be a goal and a time to achieve it. Amakami's side gig as a prostitute wasn't any different but like any plan, it came with the unexpected. He didn't expect that one of his clients would be his soon to be teacher and the main reason for doing this, would no longer exist. The home he puchased would not be for his lost family. His brother had already forgotten him.

I hold no sympathies for anyone else other than Amakami. Aoi, constantly acting from a position of fear, could do nothing that would help Amakami. Ichiyo's actions proved how desolate he was and Riku's proved how depravity can thrive off of wealth and power.

What I didn't like were the quotes directing the audience on how to feel on the given scenes. Let the work speak for itself. What I liked at the end were the words spoken by Aoi to Amakami.

Amakami: Teacher, do you love me?
Aoi: Maybe
Amakami: Then would you kill me? Living like this will be a burden on us. I like this moment, I want to end it now.
Aoi: Is that so?
Aoi kisses him.
Aoi: Let's go home.

Later
Amakami: Are you going to kiss me again if I say I want to die?
Aoi: That kiss wasn't for a guy who wants to die.

Decent watch. If this is your type of film, I recommend viewing Suddenly Last Summer.

Did they really......

Did they really make this to be enjoyed or to frustrate the viewer? The format is horrible. I've said this before, 2 min bits do not make a series worth viewing unless it can be seen in its entirety at once. Even if the show has potential, the experience is fragmented which detracts from the fluidity. These are usually uploaded on apps to encourage traction and revenue. Unless, it's worthy of an award, it doesn't make sense to do so with low budget productions. Thankfully, I got to view as a whole.

Having said that, I did like this series mainly because the characters were well thought out and reacted in accordance to the situations as it occurred. The support cast, who are usually just placed to create a credible environment, were used effectively. Plot was not different from the usual school bl but it kept moving at a pace that didn't create boredom. The mls acting was good enough to keep the interest and not solely reliant on visuals. The person behind the betrayal is not forgiven and refreshingly so. This made the character more real in his plight. The sister and mother of the respective mls gave an admirable portrayal of sacrifice though with differing agendas. One for power and wealth. The other for survival and happiness. The hug was truly rewarding.

It was an nice watch

Wrong Number, Right Connection

This was enjoyable for the most part. This Sukfilm storyline a bit different in that all lose ends were tied up. The weaknesses in this were the background in the pub, a bit of the convo between the mls, and the 2nd ml Wootae. Background was very cheap and Wootae could have done with a little more practice. I would have liked to have seen more of ex Hyeon as he appeared to be the most experienced actor and it showed. The convo and interractions between Seop and his ex Hyeon were the best in terms of acting. I did like Wootae as I enjoyed his direct approach in dealing with his feelings. I also liked the approach of Seop when he said that he was not in the business of messing people up. Here he showed that he would not use Wootae to heal. Kudos to the writer for this. On a small budget, it was good overall. The assumption that this was shot over a day or two, the wardrobe could be better to show the difference in time (averaging 2 weeks +) in the film.

Blue Boys, Bad Guy, Seoul Blues and Checkered Shirt (ending still feels incomplete) are others from Sukfilm that exceed the limited budget.

When the sides are better than the main

Let's get into this. This series suffered the same fate as Fourever You. Placing popular actors as the main draw who then become the most forgettable. The series as a whole dealt with various issues of love, abandonment, becoming self accepting, true friendship and maturity.

ArcArm.
Their arc lasted the longest and had it not been determination to see it through to the end, it would have been dropped. Friends, close friends, should not act as lovers on film. I stand by this deduction after enduring numerous episodes of tantrums, bad acting and no chemistry whatsoever. The usual enemies to lovers fell very flat and tedious to endure. I will say aging Arc out of the school environment was a good move and allowed the passage of time to develop the other characters.

YothaGun.
This is where the series gains traction and moves in the right direction. Yotha a hot head introvert had a lot to overcome and with the help of Gun does this almost realistically. I say almost because I can not believe a child emotionally and physically stifled for love from a parent can so readily accept and embrace said parent with no residual ill will. Gun shows up and continues to forgive his bad behavior all in the name of love. With the help of Arm, he begs forgiveness and is basically forgiven within the same episode. Let's not forget Gun's parents said "he is the sunshine of the world". The difference between the two feelings can be easily felt. There is a radiance that emits from Gun when he's happy. Gun/Beagle is as loyal as they come. Though the over the top theatrics when he is in beagle mode could have done with a little dimming.

FaiWine
This is the healthiest relationship of all but again with its own drawbacks. Fai being used by a pawn feels emotionally forgotten within the entire family unit. This transfers into being a people pleaser. Wine, who recently became self aware of his sexual preference, becomes his favorite person. Fai offers to teach Wine about love and romance as he believes Wine is still in love with his previous crush. They are drawn to each other, though it it Wine that orchestrates their continued meeting. The notebook is purposely left at the dorm, thereby ensuring the lessons continue without and end in sight. Here Fai learns the meaning of special. While communication is key to a healthy relationship there is a thing as too much talking. The step by step discussion of every detail of their coming together weighed a little heavy at times. This is off set by Fai's ability to make a funny comment to either diffuse a bad situation or hide his feelings. They are perfectly matched and Wine fills the gap left by a cruel mother. She is again forgiven too easily. Fai's nature would not allow otherwise.

PondSand
They met. They felt the attraction. They got together. They stayed together. No drama. No issues. What was the purpose of them being here? Don't get me wrong. I love them as a couple. I love that Pond made Sand feel special with his dumb bunny thoughts. Not everyone can be in a relationship that is intellectually mismatched and this could have been explored more. The only hindrance with this pairing is that Marc has a standoffish way of acting with limited facial reactions. This is the closest I've seen him with anyone as he always comes across as a bro and not a lover. If they can bridge this gap, I'd love to see more as Poon is a delightful character on and off the screen.

KlaoWarit
The side couple who stole the show. This couple is the meat of the series and shows the most growth throughout. The anger, frustration, devotion, reconcilliation, maturity and eventually proposal was what tied the entire series together. Their interactions are as real as can be. Klao, a hot head jealous idiot at the beginning, turned his life around for love. Warit with the patience of a saint held on and was rewarded with a love that matched his. Klao also proved to be a friend worth having. Without knowing the reason of a fight that Gun was in, jumps in without a second thought even though at the time they were arch enemies. The passion between KlaoWarit surpassed all the others and realistically displayed with every look. As an onscreen couple for many years, their bond can be felt almost immediately on meeting. The proposal made my eyes moist when I took into consideration all that they endured to reach to this point.

On viewing the bonding between Yotha and Faifah at the end, I'm a little sad that Newton wasn't included. Though older, he too must have felt hurt. Watching this as a whole, it was not bad at the ending. The final scene ended perfectly. The series was not perfect by any means. How many times is Arc is going to tell Arm he wants him in every aspect of his life? How many times characters are cute? How many times over the top asinine behaviors unbecoming a young adult is displayed? Does Arm speak on shout or only with Arc? Irritating. While the actions of Yotha and Faifah were a direct result of past trauma by their mother, this was dealt with superficially and all is forgiven and well again. The extras were used like a pop up service. Except AouBoom, they all kissed like their lips have castity belts on.

It is worth the watch and for the most part entertaining. Re-watch no. Thai productions can be shortened and still be fun. Something that eludes their production team. Suggestion: Watch the first 10 episodes at 2x speed, nothing will be missed and be more enjoyable. Lesson learned the hard way.

Cute Disappointment

What started as a cute coming of age series soon turned into a snooze fest around episode episode 4. Other than waiting to see the evolution of his initial attraction for his teacher, there was nothing interesting to see. There was no drama to propel the story or keep the viewer engaged. UH revealed his feelings for his teacher, who after a brief flight, gently turned him down in the most caring way possible. After all UH was his favorite student. It's at this point an overwhelming urge to sleep took hold of me. I actually felt at some point this series was pulling a Benjamin Button. Two teenagers in their final year at school before college with as much exuberance as that of 80 yr olds. Seriously. Writing this, I actually yawned. Yes, it was that dull. The emotions expressed were so contained and soft that even the ending held no real happiness for the viewer beyond them being together. So Ri, his friend, called him clueless and he lived up to it. Very quietly.

DH, his friend and eventual partner, made a bet with him. They would date until graduation with the hope that UH would get over his feelings for his teacher and fall in love with him. The only issue I had with this was that DH was setting himself up for failure and when this happened, proceeded to act very hurt by UH's confusion. Who among us can turn their emotions off and on like a switch, was never in love in the first place or very fickle. Let's go with the former. Their reunion later held no impact. Their admissions of missing each other saw no passion or desire beyond a light kiss.

Was the story told in entirety? Yes, albeit very serene. Did the actors make the roles believable? Yes, again, very softly.
Was anything learnt that wasn't done before? An underwhelming, no.
Will I rewatch? In keeping with the tone of the series, I will gently write, no.

And that is what they did...

In San's and Xiaowen's minds they are father and daughter and looking at them from the moment they met, no one could say otherwise.

San, a mortician, meets Xiaowen upon her grandmother's death. Xiaowen, not fully understanding what death was, kept looking for her. San was given the task of keeping her as her closest relatives refused her. San, an ex-con, and Xiaowen, still lost, fought every moment they were together. Ultimately, over a period of happenings, misfortunes, and death both smoothed out each other's rough edges and a fierce bond was forged. Each fighting for the other and selflessly becoming each other's protector. The heartbreak would come but so too the immediate forgiveness. He would not fail her again. After all he was BaBa.

Zhu Yilong deserved this win. He gave his all with this performance and it showed. His vulnerability was laid open and with Yang Enyou brought every emotion out. It's fast paced, angry and rough. Yet, still the genuine love between the two was evident in every act. Every gut wrenching emotion was felt.

Go watch!

Our Damn Business

This was fun. It was light. It was humorous. It was also very predictable. One thing it definitely wasn't, it wasn't boring. From the moment Jin laid eyes on Su An it was off to a great chase of how to get Su An interested in him. From massages to stretches to after work drinking. He tried it all. He was his late night bestie, bad mouthing Su An's exes as if he knew any of them. The one thing he was sure of, he was lost to Su An and the only solution, was to make him his. Su An, fearful of being hurt, was not going to be rushed or played with. Hwang, their office co-worker, resigned himself to be the unwilling viewer and with his penchant of walking in at the wrong time, provided some of the comedic charm.

Jeon Yu Bin (Su An) is a good actor and together with Jung Jae Bin (Jin) had great connectivity. It was a pleasure seeing them interact with each other. Su An's blank stoic expressions were the exact opposite of Jin's continual happiness. Even when angry, his face still invited Su An in.

What I truly liked about this short series was that it knew what it was and didn't have grandiose plans. It kept within the boundaries of a light comedic office romance and every moment wasn't wasted. JYB seems to fit well into these shorts and anyone viewing any would not be disappointed.

It's worth the watch.
