Read my review pls
I dont usually do this but I was saddened by the many bad reviews I just HAD to write my own :(<<8 episodes and each being about 10mins each>>
I genuinly enjoyed this drama I found myself fully immersed in each episode. If you're looking for a short lighthearted BL drama full of fluff and heaps of cute funny scenes to cheer u up after watching a tragic one (Bcs theres SO MANY of those -_-), this is the one for you! The acting as well as the chemistry between the leads was good, i found both characters extremely lovable...also the music was pleasing. Although the storyline with the loan sharks was a bit too much, i didn't find it bothersome at all as they were all good characters (as in the other two guys showed they kinda cared for Sang Ha so that was cute-ish and their acting wasnt too bad as well,, even though they and that whole loan part of the drama was sorta unnecessary) and the main focus was on the romance anyway- im glad they actually showed cute kiss scenes (not to sound perverted, its just most korean BL dont end well and some dont have kiss scenes at all so for the leads to actually agree to do it knowing full well their country finds such issues taboo and rather shameful, my heart goes out to them. Theres progress and hope for Korea ^_^). Who are we to complain about the storyline not making much sense? ?We didnt ask for this but im sure as hell glad they made it! We need more Korean BL in this world and kudos to the actors, directors and everyone involved for making such sweet short drama.
I understand everyone has their own opinion and some can be quite critical,, but thats okay cs everyones opinion is valid. I enjoyed the drama and hope u all do too <3

Very cute, very short, nothing too serious.
I found this while roaming through Korean BL web series. I really liked it.The story is nothing too deep or serious, there are a lot of elements which sometimes made things feel kind of random. Obstacles were tackled quite easily and in a fun rather than a Dramatic way.
I liked both actors especially the one that acted the younger one, since in my opinion he did a really good job at portraying is rather positive character in the face of a rather “dramatic” fate.
I Can’t really say more about this, it’s just a short light hearted thing with some very sweet moments, some points didn’t really make sense, but when did a Drama ever fully make sense.
There was not much of a climax or anything, but it was just fine without it, I for one did not get bored.
If you’re looking for a short and sweet BL definitely give this one a go.

"Holmes has Watson, Woody has Buzz, and Jin Won has Sang Ha."
"Do you know the similarity between a marathon and Love? That once you start, you can't stop?"This was a wonderful show. It was somehow better than the previous installment of the anthology "Where Your Eyes Linger" and I found myself somehow laughing out loud at their interactions despite how short the show was.
There was chemistry, there was development, there was an actual conversation between the leads that led to a believable romance. There was even a *plot*, which is shockingly hard to find in BL drama lately.
And the weirdest part was that the relationship was *healthy*.
"Love only works when you're on equal footing."
Neither followed the toxic tropes of BL leads seen in so many shows and manga, and they genuinely cared for the other, even when the other was too thick-skulled to listen.
Man, I even loved the antagonists of the series - seriously, those loan sharks had me smiling like crazy at the end. They had their motives and their reasons, but they weren't cruel. And it made perfect sense how it all ended. I truly enjoyed this entire series, to the point I'm debating going outside at 5 am after binge-watching this and doing some running of my own.
This show will always have a fondness in my heart.
"Quit being my pacemaker, and be my rival."
As a note: Watch up to episode 5 before you drop it.

It's great!
This was my first ever BL drama and I rlly loved it. I remember how much I enjoyed watching this. Its also partially the reason I figured out my sexuality. It made me want to watch more LGBTQ+ dramas and movies and it rlly helped me realize that I'm bi. The storyline is cute and interesting. I loved almost everything about this drama. The acting was great too, especially Han Sejin. I definitely recommend that you watch it. It's short and simple. I loved it and I'm hoping other people did too haha.Was this review helpful to you?

I wish they had more FUCKING time together
I wish they had more FUCKING time togetherI doubt you have seen any of my reviews on other shows, but something that makes me very upset with shows is when the couple only has like 5 minutes together as an actual couple. I need at least 1-3 EPISODES OF THEM TOGETHER WITH NOTHING GOING WRONG. And this show didn't suffice, they deadass spent 45 seconds as a couple and then the credits started rolling like wtfffff.
First off the theme song is mad catchy. When I first heard it I was like damn this shit is so catchy. Now i have added it to my main playlist and I listen to it almost every day.
So I don't read the descriptions of shows before I watch them so when I found out that it was a marathon training/running BL I almost cried. I wrote in my notes, "marathons hit too close to home and I don't know how to feel." I run (not for fun) track and cross country and to say I was conflicted by this BL is an understatement. Also, the training shit was not realistic at all and you should NOT be running that fast in a 26k with no training. So the realistic factor is thrown out the window. But I won't take any stars off, I just need to rant.
When Jin Won said he wanted him to be his peacemaker and Sang Ha jumped into his arms my heart smiled. It was the cutest thing ever. Jin Won was telling Sang Ha to get off and he didn't which added to the cuteness factor.
The forced kiss was a 10/10. And I loved the creepy fanboy plot.
Sang Ha's tragic backstory also felt inevitable, but I still feel like it played a very important role in shaping this BL.
The loan sharks that were harassing Sang Ha for like half the show about not paying off his debt literally were cheering him on so much during the race. That was so cute. At first, it was a bit threatening, but when they were so proud of him and actually got rid of his debt once he paid it off instead of holding it above him was adorable.
The ending line was cheesy, but I loved it.
YOU KNOW WHAT I DIDN'T LOVE? THE FACT THAT THEY STARTED RUNNING AT THE END OF THE DATE? LIKE EW GROSS. A RUNNING DATE SOUNDS LIKE THE WORSTTTTTTT FUCKING IDEA (just kidding it was cute).
Final verdict 8/10. Their chemistry was awkward but I still loved it. I also WISH they had more time together.
Sorry about any grammar issues. English is my first language I just suck at it.

Standard series with standard chemistry
The storyline is so-so, I don't get invested so much in the story, characters, and everything that happened in this drama. There is no characters progress whatsoever, and I don't think the have great chemistry. Something's just feels off. Sometimes they are cute, but most of the times it's just bland. The acting is good tho, but of course they still can improve their acting skills.I don't really remember the soundtracks, that's maybe because I don't like it very much.
Overall this series is okay, you watch it when you feel bored. But for me, I definitely won't rewatch this.

Fluffy nonsense
This series was just so bad all around. It really felt like the lowest budget series I have ever watched. There is zero continuity in this drama. One of the leads got punched several times but we see him in the next scene on the same day and he has zero bruises.This “I am so poor and struggling so hard financially but won’t take your money because I love you or hate you” only happens in dramas and movies lemme tell you. IRL that shit won’t happen. You need money so badly to pay off debtors that are goons but you won’t agree to get paid doing a job you are already doing because you are doing it for love, that is such BS and they need to stop portraying this martyr act BS in dramas. It’s not like it’s free money or hand me downs. I don’t even know what the hell is wrong with free money as long as it was giving to you and not stolen. Most of the so called rich people do so many shady things to make their money and get good lawyers/accountants to evade taxes and pocket more money and they don’t feel an atom of shame, why then should anyone who is struggling financially with no fault of theirs feel ashamed to receive free financial help. I’m not struggling financially but best believe if anyone was to give me free money right now, I would very gladly take it and say thank you. IMO, There will never be anything wrong or awkward with receiving money legally and honorably through gifts or menial jobs especially when the money is severely needed.
Back to the review, I actually really liked the main characters, they were very cute and i especially liked how Sangha was sassy and spunky, he always spoke his mind. I am so over how majority of one of the leads in BL drama being extremely/painfully timid almost to the point of stupid and fearing their own shadows because the writers wants to portray them as being cute.
I really wanted to rate this higher because of how cute the main leads were but I just cannot justify giving this anything more than 4/10.
Rewatch Value 1/10
Overall Value 4/10

Good
It's a pretty good drama, the storyline was okay, it was just a bit basic. The drama did have fluff scenes, and i really liked it. This is more of an enemy to lover kind of drama because JinWon didn't really enjoy SangHa, but the drama is short too, which is okay. But i think in my opinion, this drama is pretty basic. JinWon is more of the character i kind of dislike lol. The romance is also pretty nice, but the plot, might need some more improvement. BUt overall, this drama is really cute and i do recommend.Was this review helpful to you?
Good Enough
Korean Mini Drama " Mr Heart " is a cute short drama with a light storyline.The drama uses a lot of the trops found in many romantic comedies, they even used the cold guy-cute guy couple dynamics. However, somehow, all these cliches were not cheesy or cringe-worthy and they actually suited the story well. The use of the sports theme was interesting too, as well as the whole family drama of the lead. However, his partner's story was not that well presented, though that's probably due to the drama's length.
The performances, finally, were all great by everyone in the cast, the couple had chemistry and were adorable and the running scenes were well managed.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

Well... Korean BL
It wasn't the worst drama. The story was quite interesting and cute, perfect to watch for stress relief. Unfortunately, the production was apparently done on a budget and some plots didn't connect, and in my opinion the 10 minute episodes are way too short. We can't exactly see the timing of the development of the characters' feelings for each other, certainly an issue that should have received much more attention. I would also like to know more about the history as well as the past of our characters. I was a little bit confused by the final episode and the motive behind Sang Ha's actions, but everything somehow became clearer in the last couple minutes? In conclusion - I'm glad Korea started making BL dramas, however, it could have been done better.Was this review helpful to you?

Need to Cheer Up [Milk]? Watch this! :)
the number of scenes that had my heart racing from the adorableness exuding from the two characters’ interactions (minus that misplaced anger punch towards the end there) was enough to keep me craving more. i enjoyed most of the scenes with Sang Ha since his character was the sweet-smiley type with a tragic backstory (shoutout to the dead moms in dramas who drive the plot postmortem). also, can we talk about the actor who played Sang Ha, because i don’t know about y’all but the fellow can act. he had me close to tears when he was talking about when he starting delivering milk (i may never again look at a milk carton without shedding at least a single tear). wasn’t expecting a loan shark subplot or any physical violence (though not explicit) but overall found most of this drama cute and fairly well done. the kissing wasn’t dramatically intense or uncomfortably stale, instead it was surprisingly wholesome (quick/prolonged pecks did the job for this 8ep series). honorable mention to Sang Ha’s imagination for giving us an adorable couple’s dance concept (which i hope to one day recreate with my significant other/partner) already plan to rewatch this!Was this review helpful to you?
