If Only
If this were more fleshed out into a full length series, I would love it!! As it is, it's cute and sweet, but it moves too quickly since there's not time to give background or have character development. And it needs at least one real kiss. The seme is hot as hell and the uke is just too cute. Good potential in the story for office or Yakuza story lines.Was this review helpful to you?
I Can't Believe I Finished, But...
The level of dumb is amazing. I will usually drop one that's stupid, but this one is apparently MADE to be so stupid you just have to watch it. Be aware, just because their lips aren't moving doesn't mean they're not talking. It's just badly dubbed, seemingly on purpose. It's a cute story line with what has to be intentionally campy and bad acting since I've seen other shows and know at least some of the actors are more talented that this makes them appear. And, gods help me, if they ever make a season 2, I'll watch it!Was this review helpful to you?

Twice and still unclear
I watched this some time back. Saw one that said 'uncut' so I watched it again. Apparently the one I originally saw was also uncut as there was no difference. I'd hoped something would explain the ending better. Happy ending, yes. Understandable ending, not so much. From what I can gather, the book does better and it's how I thought, but they didn't express. The after credits scene? No freaking clue and actually not looking for a season 2 as it might be even more confusing. Still, totally worth a rewatch as it's very well told, except that ending, and a well done series.Was this review helpful to you?

Very Sweet Watch
This is low on heavy angst and a very sweet series. The love scenes were so sweet and beautiful. They were uniquely done amongst BLs I've seen. The story line may have been annoying as, from the outside, you see the misunderstanding, but it was still good. The happy ending was icing on the cake of an adorable show.Was this review helpful to you?
Seriously Underrated
Normally, I do not like any kind of slapstick comedy in my BL. Maybe I'm just too old for it. This one, however, has some over the top comedy moments, but they are enjoyable. Not sure if it's because of the acting skills or the lack of sound effects. The rating, to me, is low. With the exception of the female doctor, who is far too annoying, the acting is nice. The story line is a unique one of all I've seen. So very glad I gave this a chance!Was this review helpful to you?

Really Cute
A nice, fluffy watch. Very sweet. Except for wanting to kill the old bat. There is not enough forgiveness in the world. Kind of frustrated with the FL, but I guess I can understand somewhat. Nothing overly deep or complicated in this show. Liked it more than I expected to. Would have been nice to see someone get married though.Was this review helpful to you?

A Study in Frustration
I write this based on the series in general, not just my opinion. In my opinion, if I'd known the frustration, I might have skipped it.For this being the first series for the three leads, they did very well. Nothing in the acting itself made me cringe. The story line? Someone needs to slap them for making eight episodes of "Are you kidding me?". The frustration was REAL. I have not wanted to slap a character so much since Boston for sheer WTF are you saying/doing. The kiss scenes are reasonable for a Korean series, but I'd kind of liked to see something more dramatic for at least one of them.

Quite Good for a Body Swap
I spent the last two episodes yelling at the screen. LOL! The story is interesting. I don't usually go for body swap shows since I want to watch MM, not MF. This one was good about showing the soul's body more than the actual body so it was much easier to handle. Earth and Mix are excellent in this. A spicy Mix is a total treat. I do not think I could have forgiven the issues at the end though.Was this review helpful to you?

Tsundere Warning!
Ugh! I so dislike tsundere characters and Akira just had to go there. Repeatedly. For the vast majority of 11 freaking episodes. After the first season, I'd looked forward to a couple with maybe some difficulties, but this was painful. The story wasn't bad otherwise, until the last few episodes. They just had to toss that in for some reason. It could have ended at the birthday and been acceptable. No decent kisses in this one either. The actors did a good job with what they were given though. I really liked their portrayals, except the tsundere crap.Was this review helpful to you?

Second Season Would Be Nice
With friends/family like these, who needs enemies. I'd love a second season so long as the majority of the "friends" aren't included or at the least mind their own business. The ending was a damned miracle. The music was good and appropriate for the scenes. The acting, for the most part, was good, with nice chemistry between the leads. I rated it low on rewatch as I wouldn't be able to stand the support characters pissing me off again.Was this review helpful to you?

Unexpectedly Excellent!
I did not expect the level of holy sh*t I just watched. I waited for it to fully air before watching it and I'm am SO glad I did. It would have killed me to wait one week to the next. The story was well done, the acting excellent, and the kisses? Oh man. Despite the history of mediocre kisses in Korean BL, this one was wonderful!Was this review helpful to you?

Great Watch for Cute and Sweet
The Japanese hold true to being the ones that makes the absolute sweetest BL romances. The review that got me to watch said 'in a circle we run, away from a cheeky teenager'. This is an almost 30 year old uke trying to run from a very determined, not yet 20 year old seme. It is too cute. Shin is set on Akira and Akira is in denial. The side couple were also sweet and a bit smarter on dealing with each other. I think the actors all did a great job. Even the kiss at the end is very decent for a Japanese BL.Was this review helpful to you?
Wow
Don't know how I missed this show, but it was excellent! The acting was good, though the less experienced were just a shade more awkward in some situations. The story line was good and for the first several episodes really keeps you guessing at what is going on. It is yet another example of Gun's versatile acting skills and I loved it!Was this review helpful to you?

Unusual and Fun!
Randomly found this just looking around. I'd never heard of it. Very cute, no/low angst, and a happy ending. The age difference may bother some sensitive to it, but it goes with the story line and it's just so cute all around! I really would have expected it to have a higher rating than it does, but it was so worth the watch.Was this review helpful to you?
