Good chemistry, messy writing
Started good and the guys are great and have excellent chemistry but after ep 10 it all went to hell. The plot twist with the female bartender from hell , the pointless unbelievable break up and its flimsy reason, Fu’s cowardice and cruelty, him breaking every promise he made to Ze Shou..Nothing made sense, it’s like we’re watching a diff movie. The secondary couple was a snooze fest. It had great potential as an older divorce straight dude and a femme gorgeous guy sounds like an awesome trope but everything was too insta, too shallow, too bland and too boring.The series was too long and went too far off the road. They should have stopped at chapter 10 after their romantic camping trip and not drag it for forever. Makes me mad that mediocre stories like this one are dragged for 13 chapters while masterpieces like When it rains it pours that needed 5 more episodes it only has 7.

Surprisingly good
I was pleasantly surprised by this short BL. I was a bit confused at first because I had a hard time liking Mr Han, he was loud, annoying and sometimes inappropriate but he grew on me pretty fast. I loved the acting , the simple story was tasteful and gentle and all in all it was worth the watching. I’m really annoyed that Korea does such good short films while the normal length series are either flavorless with stiff awkward acting or they don’t have happy ending (like Time of fever) .Was this review helpful to you?
Adorable
Silly, unrealistic and fun, that’s how I’d describe this short series. This is the future we can all hope for, an ideal world where everybody is accepting and rooting for the queer couple, where you don’t ask yourself “Wasn’t I straight?” but embrace the fact that the next person you love is of the same sex as you regardless of who you loved before. I had fun watching this and I enjoyed the silly romance, it was satisfying.Was this review helpful to you?
Cute drama
This was quite cute although, can we all agree that the queer couple stole the show? Sure, their story is a bit far-fetched (“turning” a straight guy -and a homophobic one at that- is not that easy or realistic,I’d even say it’s not likely, but hey, it’s called fiction for a reason . I absolutely loved them , especially Ou Wen (what a gorgeous guy!) . Their chemistry, their intimate scenes and Mark’s decided and “No hesitation” attitude charmed me to no end.Unfortunately the main couple was kind of a snooze-fest ( the ML was gorgeous though ) and the third almost-couple was adorable.

Surprisingly good
I had no expectations going into this one especially since I didn’t know the actors but this was a very pleasant surprise. Just for the fact that there’s no white-shirts kids and it’s a winner in my eyes lol Loved it , especially the first 8 episodes. Loved the chemistry, the story, the acting, the hot scenes (the bunny and the tiger sex rump will live rent-free in my head forever 🤣) . After the 8th episode when they were properly in love and courting they suddenly became too prudish for my liking (especially the doc), they stopped having sex and the doc was acting like a prickly shy blushing 18th century maiden. And all the drama with the father, mother, black ripper ghost and the “I’m going away for studies” was OTT and unnecessary. I wish it had stayed light and focused on romance and sex like in the beginning, it would have been a 10 then.Was this review helpful to you?
Very enjoyable
Let me start by saying that ppl who left negative reviews probably came here expecting something like KinnPorsche so I wouldn’t take those opinions into consideration. Is this a masterpiece? Well, no. It’s silly, soft and light so if you want realistic portrayal of mafia and a complex plot this isn’t it.Pros: the guys have chemistry, they’re both handsome , and their intimate scenes (kisses) are plenty and juicy. The bed scene is also good. They were incredibly cute together from beginning to end.
Con: the mafia thingy is unrealistic, Ping can’t cry to save his life and Meen didn’t have too many facial expressions, as always. To sum it up they worked because of their chemistry rather than good acting (although they have improved quite a bit over the time).
Still it’s much better than some BLs I’ve seen out there. It’s enjoyable, made me love the guys and root for them , the end was very satisfying and it was short. All good things in my book.

Meh
Very underwhelming. The series tries and tries but it’s all underwhelming and underdeveloped. The main couple is a snooze-fest , so boring and bland. The second couple is way better but unfortunately it wasn’t developed enough and the third couple was…. chaotic. I couldn’t understand them and what they wanted. Too long for a story that doesn’t really say anything.Was this review helpful to you?
Awwwwww
This was so so cuuuute. This would be any BL series if the characters wouldn’t hesitate and confessed like normal regular ppl without dragging the angst of “should I? Or shouldn’t? “ like we’d like. LMAO Like.. they’d be THIS short 🤣This was absolutely lovely and delightful to watch.

ADORABLE
Only Japan can make a fluffy wholesome BL to also have depth and meaning. Loved it. Don’t trust the negative reviews, there is no incest and the lead character is over 18. Excellent dialogues and acting, excellent music and excellent secondary characters. The relationship evolution and development was so so well done and so heartwarming…Made my heart so soft and tender gah. Go watch it. It’s not a masterpiece but I laughed, giggled and swooned with Toki. 😍Was this review helpful to you?
Meh
You know, I really don’t have many expectations of most of the Thai BLs and looking at this mediocre one proves I’m right. What we have here is a tacky porny BL with a lame (and barely there) plot and lukewarm if not downright bad acting. The main couple is so hard to root for because let’s agree that the kid deserves way better than being Sorn’s toy . I don’t trust their happy ending. If I were that kid’s mom I would try really hard to keep him away from that nasty piece of work that is Sorn and probably give him a slap over the head to grow a freaking spine. . The secondary couple is a snooze-fest and not even the fact that I like Yoon manages to save it. I actually think that Yoon’s role in all this mess is to be an eye candy. So yeah, if all you look for in a Bl is bed scenes to make you hot and bothered this series is for you. If you want depth, romance, good acting and mature, likable characters look for other Bls, there are a lot of them this year.Was this review helpful to you?
Pleasantly surprised
Omg, how cute is this simple and gentle series???!!!! It’s much much more entertaining than we all expected , isn’t it? And the chemistry between the guys is AMAZING . Choi Jae-Hyeok’s acting is fabulous, he has a lot of charisma and he’s gorgeous.The other kid, Yum Min Hyuk is not bad either, he struggles a bit but he has a lot of potential. So far I like this BL more than I thought I would , Too bad for the disjointed sequences , jumping from one one scene to another without any kind of context or introduction but I guess the budget is what it is. I think I would have also liked a bit more depth and one or two extra episodes to resolve all the issues and to give the other couple the chance to shine too.

Ok-ish
Cute, short and with happy ending. That’s all I can say abt it. It was just an ok Bl with just ok chemistry, just ok acting and just ok plot. The child-actor character ML was kind of bland and flavorless but the other two leads were slightly more interesting. Apparently I have to write more to reach 300 characters. At this rate it’ll take me more time to write the review than it took watching the short 🤣Was this review helpful to you?
Still brilliant
Still brilliant, still thrilling, still captivating, same superb acting, same great cinematography and an even better and obvious bromance. The last scene with them on the rooftop is one of the most romantic I’ve seen in a bromance (with the exception of Word of honor). So so worth it! (and I didn’t even like Chinese dramas).Was this review helpful to you?
Wholesome
I think this is probably one of the most beautiful BLs that Japan gave us and it should be added next to Our youth, When it rains it pours, Cherry Magic or Old fashion cupcake. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a 100% wholesome young love before in a series, with so many green flags(from the main leads to family and school colleagues ) and so many emotions and touching moments. Too bad that just as every little Japanese gem, this is also very short . I could have watched another 10 episodes with these wonderful boys and the gorgeous landscape. Well, we least we all know the saying: Strong essences are kept in small bottles. I would recommend this BL shouting from every corner of the world. Please do yourself a favor and watch it, it’ll make your life a smidge more beautiful.Was this review helpful to you?
