Id rather watch paint dry
This was such a hard watch… I hate this couple so much so a whole special dedicated to them is disappointing. This couple feels like a creepy age gap, Tsuge is cringy, Minato is childish and rude, together they have no development, chemistry or even any appeal. I usually skip all their scenes in the original show so watching just scenes of them is not for me.Was this review helpful to you?

Not perfect, just decent
So we have Hiro that’s being abused at work and his childhood friend Kai comes to live with him and says they are married. Boring premise I know but was it done well… well um no.It’s very short with 6 episodes which isn’t enough to tell a coherent story and doesn’t actually show their relationship. Kai is anything but interesting and their love story is so dry, boring and predatory. Its predatory because it has a sexual assault scene that heals him, as someone who experienced sexual assault I immediately hated this drama. I can just tell it’s trying to be a slow burn romance and instead it comes off as boring.
The supporting cast barely gets any screentime so no one is developed, the flashbacks do nothing to improve their lacking chemistry.
Do they kiss? I can’t remember and don’t care enough.

It exists
As a remake I was excited to see how they would adapt it. But it just made me crave more from the Japanese version which is a bad thing. The longer episode lengths do nothing but add filler and boring moments instead of adapting more of the manga. I don’t recommend this if you’ve seen the Japanese version or only watch Episodes 8-12 (these actually have new story which is nice to see). I was so excited but it was disappointing with music that plays constantly and cringy sound effects every second. GeminiFourth deserve better than this show. At its core it’s still an alright show but the editing and pacing make it an awful show.Was this review helpful to you?

Bloated but brilliant
The premise, the twists, the relationships and the characters are brilliantly crafted. There were times I wished this series would never end. But towards the end it was evident that 20 episodes is too much for a series like this. If it had been 12 episodes it would’ve been perfect. Reused clips are common in dramas but it felt like it was wayyy too much here. It lost me when she came back into the real world and the ending felt like ‘it was all a dream… or was it?’ type endings I would write as a childWas this review helpful to you?

Not special
Watched the bad buddy x tale of a thousand stars (bbxtoats) and my school president specials and it was a bunch of nothing…The bbxtoats special should’ve been monumental, I love these characters and haven’t really seen these actors interact before. Instead it’s just them 90% lost in the woods so all the characters can communicate with each other, just lazy and bloated.
My school president special was so awful that I dropped it 10 minutes in, it’s the same thing over again but the characters swap places.
Not watching any more of these specials.

Not important
Nothing burger of a special… He travels back into the past and has to make him fall in love with him or something. Its cute but not plot relevant and not necessary to view. Wish they would’ve given us more time with them actually being together and more time with the second couple as well. I hate dream episodes / specials it’s very lazy to me.Was this review helpful to you?

More of the drama
If you love the drama you’ll love the movie, it feels like a long episode of the tv show. I’m glad that their story finally ends and has a good and satisfying ending. It still has issues like the second couple still not being my favourite and no kisses between the leads but otherwise it’s amazing. There’s parts like coming out to the workplace that I would’ve wanted but they didn’t have enough time to explore.Was this review helpful to you?

Meh
Rating the whole series here. I love the way he dodges attempts and I love the world of bl he’s in. I especially love his brother and his boyfriend, it’s sweet. The main plot is barely a romance and should’ve just stuck to the manga instead of this half baked attempt to make it bl… I despise the rewrite of the kiss but the manga creator character, I don’t like retcons. I also hate the minor gets introduced as the new love interest and the old one gets pushed to the side. So disappointing because I can see the potential.Was this review helpful to you?

I hate him!
Sangu does all the work for a project so he leaves Jaeyeong’s name off of the project. He looses his credit and as revenge decides to be annoying and work with him on a project together.It’s a web series so it’s pretty short and there’s not much to talk about. Cinematography is really pretty with the little animations that show and I actually find this couple cute. Im glad we got full french kissing. The only reason it’s not higher is because the Jaeyeong is an asshole, annoying and cringy at the beginning. Its so icky that I was starting to feel bad for Sangu and I relate to him a lot. I love the subtle (and not so subtle) ways they both change when they’re together.

Comedy saves it from mediocrity
Rich entitled guy x normal person trope again… but this was the best one I’ve seen so far because he actually experiences ego death. I love the representation of deaf people. I hated this drama at the beginning but gradually became obsessed, especially with the second couple. It’s also over the top and made me laugh so many times. But there’s no resolution at the end, barely any chemistry between the leads and women as villians (tired).Was this review helpful to you?

Wanted more
She wants to use any means to make her fall in love either her… will what’s in her bag make them fall in love or make them stop being friends.I love friends to lovers this has so much potential. I just don’t like forced love it feels gross but this series skirts away from that. The plot twist was so good.
I wanted to get the build up of them being friends and them being together, and even parts of this being expanded. this just feels like a snippet of a great movie or drama.

Generic but not awful
Rich entitled guy is kicked out by his parents and becomes the roommate of a normal dude because of the water pressure or something.It wasn’t short but I don’t have anything to say about it. The entitled asshole trope is my least favourite trope EVER. The worst part is that the show portrays him as reasonable and he gets no character growth.
Its also just generic, I can’t really tell you what happened. But it doesn’t have any major flaws it’s well made and competent, it’s just forgettable.

Looses the plot
Yue breaks up with Wei because he’s poor and she’s all about that rich girl life. She ends up trying to get Cheng, a cold blooded gang member that loves snakes, to like her. When Wei discovers this he decides to steal her man, period.I’ve said it a million times I love it when shows have a character with a secret and this premise was so good. This drama actually was ruining my life a bit, I only wanted to watch it. Their love story including the frisky scenes are so well executed I was in love.
This show however forgets bisexuality exists and it loses the plot completely when Yue’s plots are all tied up (she’s severely underdeveloped too) and then Cheng’s ex shows up around episode 13. There’s a few good episodes later on, especially with the father in law, but it feels like the show is just continuing for nothing and to develop the second couple. I almost stopped watching it completely after the ex kept showing up.
