I do realize that the Korean BL is an entirely different kettle of fish from the Thai BL. I cut my BL teeth on the Thai template; and even at their worst, when they're a hot mess, Thai BLs -- are just that; hot!

This particular Korean BL should have been called "Do Ha's First Kiss." It was a slight and as insubstantial as a biscotti and some latte foam. Everybody was a shiny, clean Korean idol contestant. It was all just a bit too much -- all the politeness -- soooo much politeness.

I've had to rate it higher than I'd like because, being a Korean series, the production values, acting, set dressing, costumes etc. were polished. They managed to do the thing Thai BLs almost never do --have some extras so that in bar, cafe, restaurant scenes, the leads are not the only people in the venue.

You might like it if you are in the mood for a little sweet room temperature snack but if you're looking for something spicey or even home-cooked-satisfying, you're totes outa luck.
