Expected too much.
This show desperately wants to be cute, quirky, heartwarming and at times, it almost pulls it off. But overall? It’s a cringefest with flashes of potential buried under layers of overused tropes, weak character writing, and emotional immaturity dressed up as romance.
Let’s start with the tone. The show is clearly trying to be a fast-paced BL romcom with a zany vibe. But instead of being funny, many scenes land squarely in “secondhand embarrassment” territory. The jokes are often dated, and the characters' behavior (particularly the main lead's) feels more like fanfiction wish fulfillment than believable development.
The biggest red flag? The main character's idea of romance seems to involve ignoring every boundary imaginable. He simply doesn't take no for an answer, and while the show frames this as endearing persistence, it comes across more like harassment. That’s not chemistry. That’s emotional pressure. And it's played for laughs way too often.
Acting-wise, it’s hit-or-miss. Some moments work. Especially in the later episodes when emotions finally settle, but there are too many scenes where the line delivery feels stiff, forced, or straight-up overacted. Supporting characters are mostly one-note, existing more as comedic relief than actual people.
Then there’s the writing. Dialogue is painfully cliché, and the romantic beats follow the most predictable pattern imaginable: boy meets boy, boy invades personal space, boy falls in love because... reasons? There’s little effort to build any real emotional connection between the characters. Things just happen because the script says they should.
To be fair, the production isn’t terrible, it’s colorful, nicely shot, and clearly not the lowest budget in the K-BL world. And yes, there are a few scenes that land, mostly in spite of the writing, not because of it.
But overall, it feels like a half-baked comedy that prioritizes tropes over storytelling and pushes a romantic dynamic that’s more uncomfortable than cute. If you’re really starved for new BL content, it might be worth hate-watching. Just don’t go in expecting depth, subtlety, or respect for boundaries.
