Simple and Predictable

**Brief Synopsis**
B (Employee): Do Hoon
T (Cook): Yoon Soo

B and T are neighbours. Once upon a time, they used to be university classmates and somewhat friends but T developed a crush on B and because he was unable to bear one side crush, he dropped out of university. Later on, they reunite and it takes B some time to remember T. By now, T has become an awsome cook and is more confident in pursuing B romantically. At first, he attracts B's attention with food and slowly, B starts to enjoy his company and intimate touches. Soon B falls for him. He confesses and after dealing with T's clingy ex boyfriend, they end up together.

**My Opinion**

WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT
- Very likable characters even though we don't know much about them other then a few facts. They have their own faults sure but they do their best with each other and themselves.
- The acting is pretty nice. The actors do a good job in convincing the audience of the affection that exists between the characters. The sexual tension is pretty obvious from the start.
- The show gives off a rather warm feeling. It's not dramatic by any means and it is not deep; it's just two guys falling in love and dealing with their feelings.
- Limited angst. Because the show is so short, they don't drag the angst on forever. There are attempts at communication but it is limited.

WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE ABOUT IT
- Cliche and predictable plot with no memorable moments.
- Using misunderstandings as way to introduce angst. It's extremely lazy writing. B sees a bracelet T has on a photo and thinks T is playing with him. He runs away and doesn't let T explain.
- The pacing is really fast and the build up for the relationship really limited. At the end of the show, they say I love you to each other but from what I can see, it's just not convincing.
- In scenes that don't involve romance, the acting can get a little unnatural but that doesn't ruin the show.
- Very limited plot and character development because the series is just too short.

**Conclusion**
Simple typical BL that you could take a look if you do not have other shows to watch.
