This BL was one of those cute stories. It definitely wasn’t rushed, and while it didn’t have too many intriguing moments, it honestly felt like an 8‑episode alcohol advertisement disguised as a BL serie.
I enjoyed their chemistry, they looked good together, but the kiss scenes were anything but real. Where was the passion? What really bothered me was how poorly constructed and inconsistent the plot was, It seemed to want to be a food drama, but the food aspect wasn’t enough to compensate the huge promotion of alcoholic beverages. Ji Yu and his friend needs to be sent to AA lol
Overall, it was pretty enjoyable, even though the whole thing felt like a liquor ad.
What I Liked
*Story simplicity: Easy to follow, not overloaded with unnecessary drama.
*Pacing: The progression from strangers to lovers felt natural, not rushed, not dragged out.
*Food and culture: I love BLs that showcase their country’s culture and cuisine, and this one had plenty of that, but unfortunately offset by the alcohol thing.
*Attractive cast: Good‑looking leads, and Korea never disappoints in this department.
*Soft humor: Light jokes sprinkled throughout made it worth watching.
What I Did Not Like
*Alcohol‑heavy script: It felt like a 8 chapters long alcohol ad. Ji Yu and his friend seemed to need drinks with every meal, which came across as extremely unhealthy and unnecessary to promote.
*Inconsistency: Tried to be food‑themed but failed to deliver.
*Weak ending: Beginnings and endings matter most, and this series dropped the ball on both. The start was confusing, and the ending was way too flat.
Did I regret watching it? Not at all.
Would I watch it again? Nope. The alcohol vibe killed the rewatch value for me.
