It's a 7 for me. The meeting of the two main characters felt really weird. It felt like they already knew each other and I was expected some backstory but no. They just knew who they were that's it but their interactions were really weird... Also, I didn't quite like Ji Won's character. He hurts and rejects Jeong Woo because of his indecisive behaviour but, when Jeong Woo wants some time off, he doesn't want to let go. I really didn't understand the whole drama to be honest. The good thing is that the moments they spend together as a couple are quite cute to watch.
This series wasn't bad at all but I think it was too long (8 episodes should've been enough). The beginning was really nice, I loved the back and forth between the present and the past time. But when the flirting period was over, it started getting a bit boring, in my opinion. They added a lot of unecessary back story to the characters (with the mother for Sant and with the older brother for Jay). To me, they should've stuck to the romance. They also should've given Jimmy a more important part because his character felt a bit bland... Also, will we see Poon and View get real one day? Because I'm waiting for them to get together since The Trainee... Anyway, I still liked the series but I'm happy it's finished and I really hope Mark and Ohm will get a fantastic series with a better script in the near future. They deserve it. I'll add that Sea's cameo was not a surprise but I still squealed like a seal when I saw him. And the grandma being a JimmySea fan 🤣
The series was pretty good as a whole but the miscommunication and Min Jun's behaviour right after they've talked things out (or so we thought) were so irrating.
This was awful to watch and I only say that after the 7th episode. Because before, it was an okay watch. Not fantastic, but not awful either. But the whole "You only pity me" thing was too much for me. Also, I didn't like them ending up together. I would've prefered him to end up with Ha Min, it would've probably been more interesting. Anyway, I would've given it a 6 or 7 but after this awful ending I give it a 3...
So, I can't compare this series with the webtoon, as I never read it, but I really really liked the series. I understand some of the critics, especially the ones that said that Chan Yeong and Ji Yu have unecessary lots of screen time, but I still liked the series. It was a really nice watch.
I was a bit afraid of this adaptation because of the director that destroyed My Love Mix-Up but I actually have to admit he did good with this series. It's not a great series (the original wasn't anyway) but I spent a very good time watching it. It's just a shame that they didn't change the whole wedding thing because it was the thing that I hated the most in the original. As cute as the boss can be, he's a walking red flag and if I understood Mo's feelings after what happened with Heng's mum, I didn't really understand his reasons for breaking up with him.
I absolutely loved this first episode. I've waited for this series since I've watched the first trailer and I'm not disappointed (for now, at least). Love the chemistry between Mark and Ohm and love the premise of this story. I just have one question, though... Because Mark is casted as Jay on here but in the series, he clearly said that his name was Jway. So, which one is it?
I like slow build, but this isn't it. One guy was moving too fast, the other wasn't really invested. It felt like…
I actually like slow-build relationships as well. But here, it was slow-paced. Nothing really happened in each episode. It was boring... And I agree with you a hundred percent. Also, I didn't like the way Do Ha emotionnally blackmailed Woo Hyun. The episode in which he asked him to say that he likes him before asking him to kiss him. That was bad...
I was bored most of the time... In my opinion, it was way too slow but some people like that type of series so I wouldn't say I don't recommend it. It's just a 5 for me: not good, but not bad either.
Tot&lly agree with what you said. I've waited too many weeks to finally see JuniorMark's story and this first episode was just made up of all the other couples and a couple of scenes that they already showed us. So I really hope to see more of them in the rest of the episodes.
Not even a bottom defender but it's crazy when ppl with pfps with grown ass men in their super late 20s to early…
I half understood your comment but anyway!... I don't expect first-year-uni characters to be mature but I don't want them to act like little kids either... The guy is in university, not elementary school... You seem to be new to watching BL (or you haven't updated your watchlist yet) and good for you if you like that type of characters. But after ten years of watching different types of BL (yes, I'm that old), I got sick of them. Also, I complained about the innocence and childishness of the character, but what really put me off was the stealing shirt scene. It was creepy and unnecessary. And I highly advise you to watch the series from my profil picture. Because they may be "grown ass men in their super late 20s to early 30s" but the series in which they play is (what people tend to write too lightly nowadays) a masterpiece.
I don't understand the high ratings... Does this series improve over time? Because I couldn't go past the first episode... I'm just too tired of the overused stereotypical "bottom" character who is naive, innocent and stupid (in this series, in particular) and who acts like a child. Also, the whole "let's steal the "top" character's shirt because I want to redeem myself" when Fah didn't even make a big deal about the accident and didn't want the guy to clean his shirt was so annoyingly over the top... I don't have time for that type of series that everyone seems to enjoy and I will never understand why... I mean, to each their own, I guess. But this is definitely not for me.
This series was absolutely beautiful. It made me laugh and cry. The scene at the hospital was an absolute masterpiece and I'm not one to cry easily but this scene really made me shed tears. The actors are also very talented, especially Jin Yun as I really thought he was really deaf until the very last scene.
The good thing is that the moments they spend together as a couple are quite cute to watch.
