I LOVED This Series
This series was so much fun. I really looked forward to watching whenever it came on. I loved the writing, there was everything in this story, but I especially appreciated the tongue-in-cheek approach the writers took to the genre, and the well-written humor, throughout.The cast was wonderful and I loved the characters they portrayed.
All-in-all, this was pure pleasure. Thank you!

Does not deserve the time of day
I just want it to STOP!I always hope for a good series with Boun, but THIS wasn’t it! I wanted to give up on it, but instead I let each episode play, while I’m playing games on my phone. It doesn’t deserve being paid attention to.
The story’s a hot mess. I don’t know what else to say, because even writing a real review is giving it too much attention, and effort, that I refuse to expend.

One positive…I LOVE Ja
The Love HAS Set!I’m giving up on this one because the story is lacking, entertainment value is nil, and it doesn’t feel very fresh.
Sad, though, because I DO Like Ja Phachara, but he’s completely wasted here.
I’m sure there are people, out there, who are probably loving this, but different strokes for different folks. It just feels like waste of time & energy to watch any longer.
Once the setting went back to 1997, with the two male leads as other characters—they lost me, completely.

WOW, Such a Genuine Series
The acting, in Gelboys, exceeds the acting in ANY BL series (and most non-BL series’), that preceded it! These, relative, newcomers (some literally), are giving off such natural, instinctual, almost improvisational vibes with their acting in this series—it’s just incredible. The story is basic, but realistic, genuine, really heart-felt, and down-to-earth. It’s so relatable to anybody, who has experienced one-sided love, wanting more than friendship, heartbreak, and everything in between.I left out how relevant it is, too.
It’s like independent film-making at its finest. IMHO
I really can’t praise this show enough!

I Can’t Believe I Hadn’t Written a Review When It Finished
First, I’m really ecstatic that it DID finish. I’m happy the Chinese are finding their way around censorship laws!Chinese BLs are turning out to be my current faves! (ABO Desire, Meet You at the Blossom, To My Shore)
That said, this is a wonderful series, with 4 handsome MLs. The acting is good, the writing is excellent—it’s cute, witty, humorous, and heartwarming , as well.
I’m not going to rehash the story for people, but I AM, already, rewatching it! It’s just as good, if not BETTER, the second time.

Ambitious, but Tragic!
From the start, I felt bad for Nankrai: always the brother, never the lover. The best NC scene was in his dream. And I sure fell in love with him!I didn’t feel there was ANY chemistry from the actor, who played Victor. I believe it was a fault in his acting ability.
Although, it was realistic, and unfortunate, that TK only felt brotherly toward Nankrai, it was disappointing.
It was a cute, entertaining series, until the final 2 episodes, when everything turns tragic.
The storyline, as I said in my header, was fairly ambitious, but I was NOT expecting 2 deaths, a time rewind, then another death. How depressing can a writer make a BL series? Answer: VERY!
I would not want to watch it again for the reasons stated above.
I didn’t hate it, I just think it could have been more satisfying to the viewer. The main character being sacrificed at the end was, in no way, “satisfying.” It’s like, the only one who can lead a happy life, after everything, would be Victor. And I didn’t like him enough to want that to be the outcome. But, I guess TK did.
Just TRAGIC.

Cute, Sweet, but too short!!!
After reading the other reviews, I was glad I have GagaOOLala (not for kids!).I didn’t know why it was labeled, “re-edited version,” but now I do. So what I watched was a normal series, consisting of 6 episodes, each about 17 minutes long.
The lead actors were really attractive and the acting was great, it had a very decent story, and it was depicted, pretty realistically.
I was relieved to see S Korea hasn’t lost their touch for quality, entertaining, somewhat compelling, BL series.

I Want to See This Film
I ‘ve wanted to be able to see this film, since hearing about it, almost two years ago.I refuse to watch on my phone, with ads, on Daily Motion or bilibili.
When will a major streaming service pick up this film?
I pay for three streaming services for Asian series & movies, so I’m highly disappointed that none of them have decided to air this film, for whatever reason.
I had to leave a rating in order to post this non-review, but I’m certain, from all I’ve heard & read that I will love it.
All the best gay films are, unfortunately, depressing, I’ve found.

I Really Loved It
First, let me say, that South Korea produces the best BLs with the most production value, best writing, directors, and actors. This series was no exception.My only criticism would be that I would have appreciated being let in, a little more, on the characters motivations and thoughts, and the other characters could have been fleshed out a bit more.
Like almost all of the Korean bl series, this one was too short, could have been longer to include more details about the characters.
But, I STILL loved it. I guess I’m lucky I don’t read the Manhwa versions before watching a series, because the readers always end up disappointed. But, hearing that there was more intimacy in the Manhwa, I may just see if an English version is available and read it, after the fact.

Korean BLs Are the Best BLs
Our Dating Sim is completely original in its story-telling. The quality of production is excellent, as is the writing, direction, casting, and acting.This series features two of the prettiest male leads of any bl series and they capture you, immediately with their acting and the characters they portray.
I loved it!
As with, almost, all Korean bl series, it could have been longer—in length of each episode and in number of episodes, but for being so short, they were able to tell a complete, fulfilling show.
Kansahamnida!

Absolutely NO STORY
I would have given up on this, already, if the brevity of each episode wasn’t a PLUS!The lack of storyline, the overabundance of kissing scenes, which lack any, and all, eroticism, or give any feelz; all add up to a huge “nothing burger” of a “series,” if you want to call it that. I doubt the last 5 episodes will help redeem itself, but I’ll stay, anyway.
I’m sad that a Korean BL production decided to give us, the fans, nothing of value, here. Highly disappointing.

First: I LOVE THIS SERIES
I First, I LOVE this series. Second, there has been NO “r*pe,” up to and including episode 6, so please stop using that word. There HAS been SA. But, frankly, if you’re unable to suspend disbelief in the many worlds of BL—maybe you shouldn’t be watching it.In episode 6, we get incredible messaging in the backstory, to the homophobia, (not just in China, anymore). But, I really appreciated Fan setting You’s “brother” straight on scapegoating & bullying LGBTQ people.
I don’t know where this is heading, or what the explanation is for Fan going after You in such a fanatical manner, but it’s obvious there is something behind it. I’m glad I don’t read the mangas . I enjoy surprises and not feeling the need to compare the written word and what’s presented on the screen.
Again, I LOVE this series. There is nothing about it that I would critique negatively. I look forward to each & every episode with anticipation.
I LOVE THIS SERIES AND WISH IT WOULD NEVER END!!!!

This short series did NOT disappoint
It was short, yes, but beautifully told and portrayed.
The actors were fantastic and beautiful, the story, surprisingly well-rounded and complete. The characters had depth and they were even able to give us their backstories. Amazing.
A complete gem in a small shell is still valuable.
Since shower scenes are my, absolute, favorite 🤩 this did not disappoint me, in the least.
I LOVED it 🥰

I’m Only On Episode 10
I felt the need to write down my thoughts on Kiseki: Dear to Me, before Ep. 11 Drops.I really look forward to the new episodes, each, and every week. The story is so good, the actors are superb, the characters and story are rich, full, and well-written.
This is one of those series that I wish would never end.
Kudos to all, who were involved with the making of this series, from the author to the director, and from the production company to the cast & crew.
I don’t think I’ll change my mind in the final episodes, I think my feelings and opinions will only be confirmed even more.

Episode 2 1/4 is a RIOT!
I’m only up to epiisode 2 2/4, but ep. 2 1/2 cemented its place in my heart. This series has a quality about it. There’s some great story, it’s well-written, the acting is good, and obviously that means the director is good, as well. This episode was funny, smart, nuanced, and just, all-around, FUN!Was this review helpful to you?
