SKIP-SKIP
This one goes in the same basket with the other poorly done K-BLs. Would've been nice to see "real" actors doing this series. What I mean by that is the following: Very poor acting skills, the acting is awkward and I can feel the awkwardness throughout the whole series. It feels like it has been filmed on a phone or a very cheep camera.The story is nothing special, it's boring and very predictable. Overall: just skip it and don't waste your time. There is ZERO re-watch value and honestly I would not recommend this to no one.

Middle Ground
Is this the best Bl out there? No, but it isn't the worst either.Somewhat decent story, with decent acting and fairly decent delivery. It is a much better series than some other letdowns released this year.
The actors were likable, the acting was alright and their expressions were decent enough to make you watch the series. There were some cringe moments like in every other Bl butnothing out of the ordinary. The leads had decent chemistry and I want to see them in other concept.
The story itself was mediocre to me. Maybe because I've seen "better" series with this concept,but it's not that bad.
The music was nothing special to me.
The best part about this series were the moments of understanding, when they communicate to resolve their issues. (to some extent though)
Will I recommend this drama? Well, it's an easy story to follow, there aren't manny story holes, and the characters are not that bad, so if you want to watch this give it a try, you will most likely like it if you are interested in this kind of a concept.
For me it lacked substance to the plot, some scenes were boring to watch and I had to skip most of them, maybe because it was too predictable for me.

Big disappointment
Another drama that was destroyed by the weak writing, mediocre execution, and lacking end.This one had an exciting start. The first three episodes were interesting and captivating. The story looked promising but everything went downhill after the third episode. It got so boring, that I had to skip every 10 seconds, plus everything became so predictable.
The story itself was kind of interesting at first but then it became so dull and basically, every episode felt like a filler episode, with no plot whatsoever. The acting was alright but it felt like something is missing most of the time. The same goes for the story. The whole drama felt like it was unfinished. Most of the scenes were boring, there was little to no story development and everything could've been done in fine episodes max with a longer run time.
The music was nothing special either.
I know that not every BL should be a top-notch series but I was expecting and wanted more from this one.
You can easily skip this one.

Mediocre at best
This one had a lovely start. After the first few episodes it lost me completely. I still kept on watching it but the fast forward button was a blessing. Very boring story, decent acting but sometimes it felt kind of cringey, the development of the characters was weak, the side characters were meehh ... The chemistry was alright I guess, but mostly its a forgetful drama. Could've been better, but it really depends on you. For something light and mediocrity I could give it a pass, but its nothing special and mind blowing.Was this review helpful to you?
WHAT A LOT OF BULLSHIT
Easiest drama to watch: just press the skip button and you are good. Who wrote this must've been high or something because this shit is hilarious, and no, I did not mean that in a good way. The story is one if not the worst in the BL world and it's so boring oh my god. I was rolling all over the floor, I was chasing flies and mosquitos and whatnot... Like I said, If you want to watch this just use that skip button, it will end your pain much quicker. The character are pathetically written and are so annoying. Development? No honey, you are looking for development in the wrong series. 7 episodes in and feels like we haven't even started yet. Bullshit to the max. The music is disappointing. Side characters are boring. Well, only one character is alright and that's miss Candy. Toxic ex, toxic relationships... just pure disaster of a show.Everything is done in 3 locations and it really sucks.
I expected more, this show is really an embarrassment. Just skip this for your own well-being. Its -1000/10

Decent story, many story holes but MARVELOUS ACTING ???
Did it live up to the hype that it got before airing? The answer is Yes and No, for obvious reasons.The story itself was decent. It had several questioning moments that didn't make sense but overall it was alright.
The actors and their acting skills are what made this show shine. From the main couple to the side characters, the side couples everything was terrific. Even though there were obvious story holes for particular couples( VegasPete, KimChay), at the end of the day it was somewhat easy to understand what was going on.
The character development was done perfectly and I really liked that. For certain parts, it felt like they rushed some things but overall it was interesting and intense. The soundtrack was amazing.
There are moments where the characters( the couples) enjoy the abuse, the violence, the torture, and the toxicity of the other partner. Speaking of which, the love between the couples is toxic af. I totally understand where that is coming from (from past trauma), but promoting it is not good. It fits the story but it's not something that is healthy. Keep it in mind because it's a story after all, but some will find it disturbing.
Is it the best BL out there? No, but it's not the worst. Many BLs these days are coming strong and this one was no exception, but is definitely not the best. Give it a try, it is definitely worth a watch if you enjoy these kinds of topics.

"DOOM AT YOUR SERVICE" FROM ALIEXPRESS
I was so hyped for this drama, since it has an interesting story and not so done topic into the BL world. Let me tell you and I will keep this short:There is no point of watching this. The acting is bad, awkward, zero chemystry between the leads, plus the annoyingness of the main lead is beyond me. The writing is extremly bad and I will never understand why a company would put out such a mess of a drama. The development is zero to none. Production is weak, music is nothing special.
Take my advice and dont waste you time on a such weak drama.

Basic and easily forgetful series, wasted potential and gave NOTHING
Finally a series where the story is not dragged for 10+ episodes but it's nicely done for the amount of episodes it had.( total of 8 episodes)
The story itself is not something new, we've seen this concept over and over again, and these companies and writers really need to come up with something new because this is boring and repetitive.
However, I enjoyed the actors, they really made this show shine with their visuals, but the acting was weird and cringey sometimes. Everything felt so stiff
and awkward for me, but the chemistry between the leads was fine. There is a room for improvement as always, but the acting and the story, the plot development was the weakest part of this series. And it's predictable which shows that it's an easy type of a story to follow but a really, really weak writing. The music was decent, nothing special to be honest
It's not the best, nor the worst drama out there. It's in the middle for me.
Pretty much is a basic series with predictable storyline, weak writing, awkward acting and meeh music and you will easily forget about it. Would I recommend this? Decent time killer, but don't expect miracles.

A decent Mess
Now this was a concept without a concept. What the hell was that? Now let me tell you something. For an extremely low budget series, this one is doing it's job- adding to the number of K-BLs. Other than that, this was honestly a mess. I'm sorry but there was zero chemistry between the leads. It felt like the one who is the chef was held there with a gun to his head, ngl he was gorgeous to look at. The ocean and the food were honestly the best thing that happened in this series. The story was below basic and the music was semi decent. The end was rushed as always when it comes to these type of dramas.If you have watched some of the other KBLs, this one is the bottom.
Give it a try, but don't expect too much because this one barely had the strength to end itself.

Such a waste of time and budget for something SOOO BORING and VAGUE (EDITED)
The series started great with huge potential for plot development but after 10 episodes I feel like most of the episodes are a filler episodes and there is no actual plot. It started strong but after 5-6 episode it lost momentum and we are going in circles...Honestly there is no point in watching the whole episode, just skip from here to there and you'll understand what is going on( which shows that the story is easy to follow but boring af). The whole hiding personality is actually getting boring at this point .
The main couple was interesting the first few episodes but then they bored me so much omg... I actually like the development of the second couple more than the lead. Hm, honestly it's a easy forgetful drama ngl.
The whole story could've been better with 6-8 episodes, less filler scenes and more plot development.
The chemistry is great between the couples and side characters, but that's about it.
There is no point of re-watching this and waste your time again. You can live without this for sure.
~EDIT~
Last episode is airing in less than and half an hour, and my thoughts are still the same. The side couples were more interesting than the main one, due to the lack of communication, no character development and honestly not so great acting. The hidden personality "Kirin" was I guess the highlight of the drama...
This show could've been such a great hit in the BL world if the story development was better, if it had more substance to it.
Like I stated before, great start, weak finish. The only good thing about this show is the budget put into it. Other than that it's pretty boring,especially the main couple.
i do not care if you want to watch this, but take my advice and save your time. It's really not worth it.

Watch this only for the main couple( EDITED)
There is one more episode till the end, but here is my opinion.This part was totally different from the first one. Story-wise was here and there but you'll get confused when you start watching this part, so I recommend YOU to go back and watch the first one, just so you can have an idea what is what.
This part was only worth watching just for the main couple, witch is honestly my favourite for the last few months.
The side couple are all fine in their own way, but nothing special.
Many scenes are skippable. And definitely you'll notice the weird way of filming this drama, I have no idea why they did not stick with the original idea and continue from where it stopped.
First episode is a FULL SKIP
Second is a SKIP TOO
Start watching from the third episode and you'll be just fine.
---------------------EDIT------------------------
Sometimes I wonder, do I really support toxic relationships or the actors are just that good at what they are doing?
The answer is NO for both. Actually really enjoyed the "growth" of the main couple, but it got annoying the last few episodes.
The toxic part is just boring at this point, and the no communication trope is getting old. I understand that there are misunderstandings between the couples, but c'mon,20+ years old and still don't know that the key to a relationship is actually the communication beside all the cute and fluffy moments. I don't blame the actors, the writing sucks.
At this point I really don't see why you need to watch this show. If you are looking for cute actors, you got that, the story is boring, many dramas are having the same concept so nothing new, the writing is very bad, the way its filmed is honestly the some of the worst I've seen.
You can live without this drama. Don't waste your time watching this shit.

I'll push and pull you up this hill, but you'll always take few steps back
This drama has weak and decent moments, like every other drama these days, but mostly is filled with filler scenes. The story was alright, but the toxic part of it is really boring at this point. Every second drama at this point brings in the toxicity troop into the relationship between the leads or the second couple. As a drama that portrays adults in a working environment, there are a lot of childish behaviour which after the first few episodes it gets boring and annoying.The acting was nothing special. It felt like there is more to be done about that part. Neither the main couple was amazing at it, nor the side characters. The screen play was fine for the most part.
Even though this drama has more than decent actors, everything felt like a low-budget drama with rookies.
Really had high hopes for this drama, but as it progressed it became more and more annoying. Especially the relation ship between the leads- annoying, toxic, at moments felt like its pointless, no meaning... even though there is some-what decent chemistry between them, it felt all forced at moments. The love triangle was really unnecessary between the main couple and the side character. Extremely pointless and worthless. Most pf the scenes you are going to skip.
If you want to watch this, give it a go, but for me it was a major disappointment.

SAVE YOUR TEARS FOR ANOTHER DAY
This drama is one of THE BEST K-DRAMA EVER!! The story is amazing, and beside all the controversy surrounding it, this was actually really interesting to watch. The character development is amazing, and you can clearly see it. Enjoyed watching every aspect of the story but this is ONLY ONE TIME WATCH type of a drama. Very emotionally heavy and actually there is no point of re-watching it. The story is amazing, even tho I really hated certain aspects of it.The end was expected but was really hard to take in. Just SAVE YOUR TEARS FOR SOMETHING ELSE. I want my tears back and THE MOST HURTFUL thing about this drama is the lack of sweet moments between the leads. I KNOW that this is not a typical love drama, but I really don't like that fact.
Im glad that it's over but definitely will be needed time to get over everything.

You'll have to complete the story yourself (EDITED)
This drama is all over the place. Now that is a big word for this type of a drama. I know that being an 8 episode drama with screen time of 15 minutes max, there isn't enough time for the story to develop properly, plus the budget is pretty low so they did what they could. You have to put the missing pieces from each episode to make sense, because there is too much time jumping between scenes. It's not that bad but its noticeable in each episode. The story it self ain't that bad but its nothing special too. The actors were alright and the acting wasn't that bad, but sometimes was cringey to watch. I'd like to see them in another project. The ost wasn't mind blowing. But for a low budget, quick and easy drama, I'll have to give it a pass.Was this review helpful to you?
Boring, mediocre, easily forgettable
I started watching this drama few months ago, and I dropped it after the first few minutes. Then I came back and I was ready to give it another go, and somehow I ended up on episode 11. Let me be clear, the plot is not strong enough for the amount of episodes,the unnecessary long and boring scenes that are easily skippable, pointless dramas and what not.The leads were alright,not the biggest fan. The acting was alright but some parts were cringey.
At least I liked the music. I guess that was the only thing that was not boring and pointless.
Other than that, this is a easily forgotten drama, especially through being uninteresting or mediocre.
