It was cute, funny… and short :/

It was really cute! The couples, the actors themselves, their characters and the story. Some scenes made me laugh, some made me smile, some gave me butterflies. Some made me go “Aaawwwww” 🥹

I love the sulky moments the most!

It was not perfect, but it wasn’t that bad too. Ngl, it’s not on my top fave list. But I did enjoy it somehow.

And let’s admit, the actors are all handsome. I’m sure that’s an added factor on how they gave me butterflies.

I think since they have fewer episodes, they had to be direct with most of the scenes, and cut short with the back story. It lacked background or side stories to get a better build up and give a certain scene more depth and sense. Also, having more episodes could give the actors more chances to showcase their acting skills or improve overtime. The plot was actually cute and fun.

[Comments from here is now referring to general and not specifically for this drama]

I don’t know what’s still holding KBLs to do the same approach as Taiwanese/Chinese BLs or General K-drama. Like the story build up and depth we normally get from watching k-dramas. I still couldn’t get that from KBLs which is weird. They’re already doing BLs might as well treat it the same as how you would do in a k-drama.

The 8th sense, semantic error, our dating sim, blueming and where your eyes linger are some of the best kbls for me far - honestly they are still not perfect but so far are really the best ones… though I still haven’t got the full k-drama feels I’d get normally get from straight dramas.

But it does make sense to feel this way, since this is orginally from Thai BL, i don’t think that’s a good path to go to when it comes to execution. The kissing scenes were indeed cute and promising but honestly that’s just because they are all so handsome.

I couldn’t get myself watch any Thai BLs lately. Ever since Korea, Taiwan and China did BLs. Japanese BLs are good too.

Anyway, this was a light one. I love the OSTs. The actors got big potential, and ideally for romcom dramas. All I could really say is that it was Cute lol

Please don’t get affected with my comment, we have different tastes and takes, this might be your cup of tea! Still a good one to watch!
