it's such a short show I'm trying to hold on to the end but I agree. the show does not have a strong plot therefore it's the kind of show where the characters all need to be super interesting and well acted to pull it off but that's not the case. tbh the show feels like a vehicle to market the main CP and they're cute enough but it's mostly a bore to watch

if you enjoyed the first 2 eps don't forget you can rate the episodes too :)

it doesn't surprise me, bl fandom is so toxic, I already see people who are fans of other airing dramas hating needlessly on this one elsewhere online. people get threatened about other bls for some reason and want to bring it down. I really don't get it. if the drama continues to be good let's just hope it attracts more positive people who love it in the end :)

man since when did people take these bl romcoms so deadly seriously lol. was everyone complaining about cherry magic saying it's abusive and manipulative to read someone's mind for so long w.o consent so the show is trash......no it's just treated as a wholesome drama with a funny overdramatized premise (as it should be). the drama is having fun with itself and y'all are acting as if the jaws theme is playing in every scene

that is fair. from my pov I don't think either Sang Woo or the viewers see Jae Young's behavior as cute but for the viewer it's more being bemused/entertained at the antics even while seeing his behavior as asshole-ish. it's like watching a rogue character in a play—they suck but it's fun to watch them lol. it's cool if you don't dig it though :) it's ok to pass on a drama

that's fair, I respect your opinion. what works for me won't work for others. I think Jae Young's actor is going for a more devilish vibe rn maybe less smooth and charming bc it it's leaning into youth drama vibes...he comes across a bit more as a pesky over confident young adult ahahah it works for me and imo I think Sang Woo 's actor is great. maybe the performances will grow on you in future eps but I hope you enjoy the drama either way :)

whose performance do you think is bad and what don't you like? I've tuned into a few bls airing lately and I find the acting in this one way more natural than in some others that are getting much more hype right now. (not hating on those series btw just commenting on the acting)

I don't see this as a power imbalance but if you dislike this kind of push pull dynamic you can always put the show on hold and see how it plays out then choose to watch or not when it's finished there's no harm in that :)

just to add genuine critiques should always be welcome that's what discussion is for but badmouthing and badly rating a show for its premise is just kind of silly. for ex if you watch killing eve then say "this is bad I'd call the police" well that's the premise of the show 😂 dramas don't always have to be perfect and realistic that's what's fun

lots of bls even the good ones start off messy so I was ready to have patience with the first two episodes but I didn't need to be bc wow I am so impressed. the way you already have a strong sense of the characters (even side characters) in so little time is really impressive. the directing and editing is actually creative and unlike what I've seen from any bl. it suits the drama really well and feels fun to watch. I laughed so much watching episode 2 😅 and the acting is great too! now I can only hope this quality stays until the end!

the drama is following the webtoon and the premise is them starting off not liking each other/as rivals.....it's supposed to be quite dramatic/ridiculous. the drama clearly is playing it for laughs and to set up an enemies to lovers thing. if you aren't comfortable with the premise that's valid you don't have to watch. but the series isn't objectively bad just because there's some conflict come on lmao. sometimes it really doesn't have to be that deep and you can just have fun sometimes or if you're not having fun then drop it!
