Boring

That was terrible, and I'm very disappointed, specially with this cast, so you have a super fantastic Actress in the lead role and you give her that character?? Really?? Such a wasted potential.

And I only mentioned the FL cause Han JiMin is so versatile and even her bad dramas are good, but nothing can save this show!!

The thing I hated the most was how the FL behaved with the two MLs, like she was so indecisive and childish, like why do you even go to blind dates? What's the point, you literally don't check them at all!! And you don't even give them a proper No or Yes or anything, instead you just wait for them to do the next step, even with one of the dates when she wanted to cut him off, she literally asked her friend to do that for her, and when that friend didn't deliver that message for whatever reason, she went along with the second date instead of telling him that through a phon call or something, and I know it's not exactly great manners, but if you don't like someone be honest! At least stand by your choices!!

The ML was so direct, right from the beginning, but they made them take a tiny step by step, they even kissed without making anything clear! I mean, I'm not saying once they kisses it's a done deal, they can get caught in a moment or something, but when the SML directly and openly pursues her, she didn't tell him she is considering the ML, nor did she care about his effort, she just went along!! Even after she started a vague relationship with the ML she went to a date with the SML, just why? You started a stable relationship with a guy who adores you, why two timing?

I won't dwell much longer, long story short, the characters are just bad, and the FL was my least favourite if I ever had a favourite ~

Definitely not recommended ~~

Not bad

I've finally finished it, I struggled through the last 5 episodes but I did it.

First of all, I've not seen the OG, so I had nothing to compare this version to, and I think that's why I rated it higher despite the negative comments here I found it entertaining.
Secondly, I like to point out that I don't watch many lakorns, but I understand they have their unique pattern, like too stretched unnecessarily, and many side characters can be killed easily, also they look like they are low on the budget with funny makeup and effects, not to mention the weak acting/editing/directing and so, however that doesn't affect how entertaining they are if you can stomach these stuff.

1- I liked the two leads and their dynamic relationship, the beginning was more funny tbh, cause the fake beard and overactive Khun Yai made me laugh so I couldn't take anything seriously and I couldn't see him scary at all also I love Toey so I enjoyed watching him in a quirky silly role.

2- nice chemistry between the leads, I don't know why some complains about the chemistry, they fit together enough to enjoy the show, one thing I didn't like was the fake kisses, I can't believe they still rely on camera angles and hair to made them look like they are kissing, but I understand that they do that in most lakorns and we still got some real light kisses too so it doesn't matter much.

3- as I said before, lakorns tend to have too many drama unnecessary making them too stretched and have too many skippable episodes which is why I struggled in the last 5 episodes, I wanted it to end at ep20 max, and it'd have too much drama already.

4- they killed many side characters, but not the ones I wanted dead lol but I can't say that's a negative thing tbh, it just bothered me a little.

5- too evil characters that tend to be unbeatable, the madam was too much, I'm thankful the overacting here wasn't too much, actually I can stomach that much, I've seen worse, but she is so powerful in a very unrealistic way.

6- too many characters in general, I don't understand why they have to cast that much side characters they added nothing to the story tbh.

Overall, entertaining lakorn, not bad but not great either, if you, like me, is intrigued by the story and like the lead then you will enjoy it ~

Final thing, I understand some people compares this version to the OG calling it worse, I wouldn't know, I couldn't find the OG anywhere to give it a try, so I respect that opinion, to each his own, but I believe this version deserves to be considered too and I think the leads did great so,... recommend show ~

Something about the FL kept bothering me the whole show, the way she keep seducing the ML while having this severe trauma from physical connection to men.

I understand that's how the story works and that's how she managed to get away with a new BF every month thing, but now that she already have the ML, why does she keep doing the same thing over and over.

It's kinda annoying as the ML was all patient and calm because he knows about her trauma and everything, but still she was really spoilt for someone with a painful past and under continuous bullying and extreme abuse.

By that time both leads are in love but the way she kept seducing then denying him made it look like she only want to use him, I'm not saying she should give in once he confess, instead she should stop trapping him with her charm and try seriously to get her revenge.

Fantastic series with a weak story

I got too invested in this show to the point of having too many things I want to write about after finishing it, but I just don't know where to begin.

First off, I don't like the Chinese short web series because I haven't seen any good ones, basically all of them have messy stories with a billion plot holes and messy scripts, (sadly this too is included) but I've recently watched "heiress reborn" and I loved it so much so I gave my sweet CFT another shot with this web series and I'm glad I did.

I've to admit first, the story is shit!! I was lost all the time, we have conspiracies, women kidnapping, divorce journeys, rescuing missions and a search for an antidote for an incurable poison.
So basically I was watching with the mentality of, surprise me!!!!
" ok so what are we doing today in this ep? Oh, rescuing a kidnapped woman? Alright, oh the FL is trying to help some woman and that woman gave her a love potion, so we are searching for a crazy doctor? Ok, that's what we are going to do now I guess"

Another thing is shit, the way they gave us a SML syndrome, İNTENTİONALLY mind you, cause that can't be unintentional, the first half we got a FL sticking to the sml all the time, with him all lovey dovey with her and his eye literally throwing hearts at her, and let's be honest, it's CFT, who wouldn't fall for her!! I mean just look at her!! No one is immune!! But then, he isn't the ML, so half way through, enters the mostly broody and all sexy ML, so yeah she always goes back to the one she is meant to be with, and they look great together so it's a win either way, but it made the whole thing looks fake, like why did she choose the ML if all the time she is with the SML and they literally get along and fit together and all is good, like why ?? The ML saves her?? The SML did that too, they spent a lot of time together?? So does she with the SML, so there is nothing that pulls her towards the ML except that this is what the director orders them to do lol

Now aside from that, everything else is fantastic!!! Chemistry everyone is a pleasure to watch, even the side characters, this show is very unskippable, except maybe the conspiracy part, but because it doesn't make any sense tbh, more than anything.
The trio, ML, FL, and SML ... Ohhh those mofos!!! They are the best, I've never thought I'd laugh and enjoy my time like that watching these three together, and the parts where they got stuck together with this weird plant!! My god it was amazing, not to mention the parts where they got drunk, the two male leads are amazing together, they give siblings animosity vibes and I love it!!

I have to praise CFT cause I believe she was the one carrying the show, yes everyone was great but she just shines like the brightest star ever.

Highly recommended, if you just enjoy the crazy trio and ignore the story, cause it's really worth it despite everything ~~

I feel the ML had no significance here, it's all about the FL trying her best to land a job and backfire the conspiracies happening to her.

It's not that I'm complaining, the show was entertaining specially when the FL is strong and has a solution for every trick they play on her but the romance however, is just too plain.

I would have liked it better if it's about achieving your dreams and you know working hard and so... But romance is completely weak here, and the ML appears in less than half of the scenes.

Overall nice, if you skip the forced romance here. I just didn't like the end, i don't know if the version I watched was choppy or is that actually how it ended, but it has a happy end in the novel, but nothing about what happened IRL, which is kinda weird end IMO.

My God, how draggy was it ~

This started off really great, nice balance between her perspective and his to start telling the story right from the beginning, their first encounter and how everyone's life got entangled.

Nice crime, great whodunit, romance too is fantastic and characters are great.
But for me it should have ended at ep 23 with ep24 them catching the bad guy and ending everything related to the drugs case and the crime case.

İt needn't be 40 episodes at all, I got bored and wanted everything to end.

I would still recommend it because it was well done, but I wouldn't blame anyone for dropping it half way~

It was nice but the version I've watched was a bit choppy and I didn't like that very much.

Still, the story was very enjoyable and the two leads were great together, even the bad characters did well.

The only thing that bothered me is despite the good acting they didn't pull off the whole crippled/blind thing that well, it was a mess dare I say, and that made the whole things even less enjoyable, since it's not a funny drama but rather dramatic.

However, I shall keep an eye on those two leads and their next work cause they were good, the ML reminded me of Pei In from some angles, and the FL is so cute ~

I don't think I'm mature enough for this xD

I've seen my fair share of BLs but this... 😂 Lol

Now I couldn't watch without laughing and face palming, every few seconds, I was much worse than the fujos on the train with them, also I couldn't help but getting confused at Umeda San for having a beard all the time but once in the second or third ep I believe, he was cleanly shaven lol

What was going on, people? İs that an advertisement or something? XD
İt was fun, I admit but also very cringe in a funny way, the idea of being like that in public, the girls reaction was legit.

Now I don't know if this has a sequel or a remake but being me I'd definitely watch it 😂👍

While I generally liked it, there were a few things that I didn't appreciate very much.

1- good acting but I didn't like the pushy ML, you already have her, why being so overbearing.

2- everyone seems to be blind, the two leads kiss and touch anywhere, and in front of everyone, but magically no one seems to notice any of that.

3- the whole cancer idea, I don't like the idea of having a doctor that can cure any disease lol what are you? A sorcerer??

4- answer me this question if you watched the drama, apparently the FL after she slept with the ML gave him her resignation letter the next morning in the office, at least that's what the subtitles says, and she still work for him after that? How? And if it wasn't a resignation letter, what was it exactly that he signed??

Aside from that it's fun show, I believe all actors with good bodies have to show them and be topless most of the times, cliché but a feast for the eye nonetheless, the FL is so beautiful and cute.

I don't think it deserves such a high rating tbh, but I believe all the shows with hot scenes are rated higher, generally recommended because it was good enough ~~

Exaggeration in a nutshell

I know some of these Verticals are too exaggerated in term of everything, acting, story, illogical things and of course all about rich unhinged behaviour.

But I had a blast watching this, the ridiculousness was a tad too much, in a cringe way but who said I'm not in for it lol.

I wanted to scream, so many times, at the 3 brothers, just do a freaking DNA test, mate it's literally the most logical idea to be sure someone is related to you or not, why complicating easy things.

But it's the typical Cinderella story so logic is thrown out the window, one thing I didn't like is the brother-sister thing, I mean it's obvious they are going to make them biologically unrelated to get them together by the end but I would like it more if the two leads were completely sure they are not related BEFORE actually developing feelings for each other cause aside from that, it's just .... Ewww!!

Anyway, it's not one of the best, or the ones that I would suggest, but if you are ok with over the top, unrealistic in a cringe way dramas and have too much hair on your head so pulling some out of anger would not be a great loss, then give this drama a shot ~~

Everyone keep talking about the fake kiss and totally ignore how sweet and FUNNY this was

Like I know this is a 2025 BL and fake kisses are long gone but let's see the bright side here, I've seen a lot of Bls that has steamy kiss scenes but the whole show was shit! No story no chemistry nothing... And tbh if I only want to watch guys making out like that I'd go for soft gay porn, not a Japanese vertical drama.

I'm not saying this is the best BL ever but all I'm saying is if you are not so touchy about the kisses you will enjoy this because this was amazing, it reminds me of cherry magic not that they have anything in common, except maybe the Shy introvert Uke and confident popular Seme (or I believe that's their roles, there is no indication about which is which) but I remember CM had zero kisses yet was one of the best BL Japan ever made.

So this too considering it's a Short VD, it deserves compliments, because it was so funny, I laughed too much, the two guys were extremely handsome, with a killer side profile, and I really enjoyed it, so if you have less than an hour to spare, give it a go ~

Highly recommended.

Now I understand why everyone would hate this but I really really liked it ~~

First of all, no I'm not sick in the head, secondly, I liked the storyline more than the story, some parts of it were really insufferable but some really were guilty pleasures, so if you look at it as a whole, it's a mess, but the way everything unfolds is great imo.

The ML is the epitome of a bad guy, and seriously when someone write about a "bad guy" falling in love they would literally make him a nice guy in disguise, but sometimes we want to see the evil deeds too, at least I do, that's why I liked the ML, not as someone I fancy or want to meet IRL mind you, but as an evil character in love I like to watch or read about, that's how I'd imagine Agamemnon or Typhon in love lol.

Be that as it may, the pure evil here is really the SFL, she was the Eris of the show, and a very obsessed one, definitely beyond redemption, the FL was nothing but a punch bag so I can't really say anything about her.

I loved some scene, where we can see the awkward tenderness of the ML, one of the reasons I liked the ML is how he is amused in some intimate moments, of course he deny his love all the way till the end but that's understandable.

The end was abrupt however, which is weird considering this is almost 4 hours long and didn't need to be that long, since it's full of suffering and pain the FL is facing, we didn't get to see the redemption arc the ML is supposed to walk through, also the Evil SFL wasn't really punished or anything and that's why everyone was furious I believe, we couldn't see how the ML would make up for what he did, and we didn't see any sweet moments between the two leads that wasn't tinted by humiliation.

My overall rate is high, the two leads were great, and I liked the storyline as I said so it's higher than it deserve but I was entertained so I've nothing to complain about ~
