My favorite BL Kdrama along with To My Star - both are cute, sweet, not toxic, and not cringey!
This and To My Star are great examples of BL dramas with limited episodes/time done right. Sure they fell in love kind of fast but it wasn't necessarily love at first sight. For example 3 years had passed since their first encounter, and Hoseok falls in love with Shion after watching him dance. I love that because I was mesmerized by Shion's actor's dancing as well. It could've been rather cringe but you can tell that he has a passion for dancing and that the actor also has some experience with modern dance.I love the music combined with the cinematography in this one scene where Shion is auditioning. The lighting is rather dark but there is a spotlight on him. Then Hoseok appears from the darkness, even though in reality he's not actually there but Shion is dancing for him. Hence the title. That part was done especially well and I keep rewatching it.
Their acting felt super natural to me and I like the way each actor portrays their emotions. It's not overly done to me. Some scenes people might say is cringey weren't at all to me because of how the actors deliver their lines. I squealed at moments from the cuteness. The kissing is as good as To My Star's - an actual, real sensual kiss unlike those of some other BL dramas I've seen...I also like how Shion the more "cute" character is the more aggressive one when it comes to initiating skinship and kisses, while Hoseok looks scary/intimidating but is adorably shy.
The only downside would be the ending, since the conflict with the rival and Hoseok's loan shark business was resolved kind of quickly. But overall I really enjoy this series and wish there would be a season 2! But if not I will be rewatching this series, and I've already been replaying the ending song "Today" over and over.

EEEKKKK
So for starters, I binged this cause I had no idea it existed until it was over. Of course, with how short the episodes are it didn't take long and I hate it! I need a S2 and a LOT longer eps lol YMMD is NOT all cute and fluffy. It'll put your in your feels with real life challenges from every direction. It's over all beautifully done and I'd definitely recommend to a newbie BL fan or a K-Drama fan in general. This show truly deserves all the love it's receiving. And don't even get me started on the visuals lolEnjoy....

It worth it
I haven't seen a lot of K-dramas and this became one of my favourites. I had problem to fall for this story firstly, but then it happened somehow. It's hard compare to whole BL, It's really good for Korean ones. Yes, the plot seems strange in the beginning and not for everyone although it's cute, sad, lovely and I need to watch it again.As I said, I think plot is weaker and not because it’s simple. Shi On is like homeless sad puppy and Hong Seok did mistake because he pat him. When you keep this comparison in your mind, the story become more realistic.
If I think about actors... I'm sure their visuals suit their roles. And they are handsome as a bonus.
In the end this is a story about destiny and desire to be loved. Also, I was look forward to kissing scene, because whenever I saw interesting plot and actors this was fail, but there I felt it. And I stand for what I have said.

Só no sapatinho
mais um clássico da Coreia, tô feliz porque eles estão produzindo cada vez mais e eu espero só que os próximos dramas venham com historias melhores trabalhadas, com mais tempo de episodio, até os merchandisings que eles colocaram no drama se tornaram interessantes, e foi justamente pela forma como eles fizeram.A historia é muito boa, eu sinto que poderia ter sido melhor trabalhada em alguns pontos mas no geral é muito boa mesmo, a atuação é ótima também, os atores são maravilhosos espero ver eles mais no ramo yaoi, a produção e os efeitos visuais foram bons só realmente precisava que eles não encurtassem a historia, apesar de ser satisfatória e boa de se assistir. com um pouco mais de esforço da direção e produção com certeza eles deixariam grandes produções no chinelo, mas eles levaram tudo só no sapatinho e foi muito bom. A ost é muito boa também. Em um total é um drama muito bom eu com certeza irei assistir mais vezes e indicar aos meus amigos.

Anecdotique, mais agréable
Depuis l'an dernier, la Corée nous fournit des dramas BL de qualité. Cela dit ils sont encore frileux (et ils ne disposent pas encore du même budget alloué aux dramas coréens plus "classiques"), ce qui se ressent dans le format court des productions actuelles. En moyenne, celles-ci sont limitées à une huitaine d'épisodes, chacun d'une durée comprise en 10 et 20 minutes. Cela peut frustrer une partie de l'audience, mais pour ma part cela ne me dérange en rien, dans la mesure où ce type de format leur donne une contrainte supplémentaire les obligeant à se concentrer sur l'intrigue et à être efficaces (ça parlera à ceux qui s'y connaissent un peu en processus créatif). Juste histoire de comparer, nombre de BL Thais sortis sur le marché ont des caractéristiques communes : on va y trouver plein de digressions, scènes à rallonge, surjeu et réactions maladroites, scénarios vus et revus, histoires secondaires pas assez creusées, plans mal foutus, hésitations sans fin et placements de produits qui nous font lever les yeux au ciel... Bref, à part quelques exceptions récentes, on a souvent l'impression qu'ils sont en roue libre et qu'on a affaire à de gros amateurs à qui on a refourgué une caméra par hasard. Heureusement depuis 2/3 ans, leurs voisins nous offrent des productions bien sympathiques à se mettre sous la dent : Taïwan, les Philippines, la Corée évidemment, et tout récemment le Vietnam bien que ce soit encore très balbutiant. C'est une excellente chose, car désormais en 2021, l'audience dispose enfin de suffisamment de choix pour trouver son bonheur, se montrer plus difficile à l'occasion, du coup plus besoin de se ruer sur la moindre production thaï débile sous prétexte qu'il n'y a rien d'autre sur le marché.Alors j'avoue que je connais moins les dramas coréens, étant plus une habituée des lakorns thaï "traditionnels", et quelques rares séries chinoises (qui finissent bien s'il vous plaît, ce qui explique pourquoi je n'en regarde pas beaucoup...). Et si avec le temps je me rends compte que j'ai acquis de bonnes connaissances dans le sous-genre spécifique des BL asiatiques en général, il m'est tout de même difficile de comparer les productions coréennes classiques avec cette nouvelle niche que sont les BL chez eux. Tout ce que je peux dire, c'est que même dans ces petites histoires sans prétention, on constate une volonté de nous fournir une intrigue bien ficelée avec un effort notable sur l'esthétique des plans, une bande-son agréable et jamais envahissante, et qu'une certaine poésie se dégage de ces dramas. C'est le cas de Color Rush, To My Star, Mr Heart, Wish You Your Melody From My Heart, ou encore Where Your Eyes Linger... Des petites histoires qui n'ont l'air de rien, mais qui je pense, nous préparent à la venue de BL plus conséquents et encore mieux foutus, l'avenir nous le dira. En tout cas ce sont des points que j'ai aussi relevés dans You Make Me Dance et qui justifient qu'on donne une chance à ce drama.
L'intrigue de You Make Me Dance relate la romance entre un jeune danseur solitaire et l'employé d'une société de crédit. Ce dernier s'impose dans sa vie et en vient à le soutenir pour qu'il gagne son audition, afin qu'il soit en mesure de rembourser sa dette. L'histoire est plutôt mignonne et tendre, on a de jolies scènes entre nos deux protagonistes, les acteurs jouent relativement bien et on évite de s'éparpiller dans tous les sens. Pourquoi ne mettre que 7.5 dans ce cas ? Simplement parce que malgré toutes les qualités de ce drama, le scénario ne m'a pas tellement passionnée et j'ai trouvé que les scènes manquaient un peu de profondeur, de sentiments forts. J'apprécie des histoires tendres et mignonnes, mais j'aime bien avoir le coeur qui bat un minimum et celle-ci ne m'a pas fait cet effet. C'est une question de goût et ça ne remet absolument pas en question l'intérêt de ce BL, qui plaira très certainement à d'autres spectateurs. Enfin, j'ai aussi trouvé que le revirement momentané d'un des deux personnages dans le dernier épisode (je n'en dirai pas plus) tombait de façon assez artificielle juste histoire de nous faire un peu peur pour les protagonistes, mais vu que les épisodes ne font même pas 20 minutes et qu'il faut bien boucler le drama à la fin de celui-là, on imagine bien que ledit revirement ne va pas durer plus de 5 minutes.
Malgré tout, le drama reste sympathique et de bonne qualité. Quant à la romance elle ravira les amateurs d'histoires tendres et douces, sans grosses prises de tête, d'enjeux compliqués ou de scènes problématiques propres à engendrer des débats. Quoi qu'il en soit, même si je ne pense pas que je le visionnerai de nouveau un jour, je ne regrette pas de l'avoir découvert. Et considérant la durée des épisodes ce n'est pas comme si on risquait de perdre son temps, alors pourquoi s'en priver ?

Emocionante e bonito
Que lindo e triste. You Make Me Dance é aquele típico bl coreano, pelo menos era o que eu pensava, ele é fofo de fato, mas o drama e a melancolia estão totalmente inturmados nas imagens, sao imagens frias que te passam um ar de solidao e aconchego, coisas retratadas diretamente em ambos personagens principais, entao tudo se completa. Em falar no casal, a quimica voce sente de longe, o bl em si ja requer muita quimica, ja que se trata de dança e musica, e os atores conseguiram transmitir tudo o que lhes foi proposto, principalmente na primeira cena de dança, onde os personagens de conectam de uma forma que parecem estar hipnotizados um pelo outro. A proposta do bl é muito interessante, e tambem muito atrativa para quem gosta de sensacoes mais pronfudas. Gostei de trazerem a proposta do fio vermelho, e diga-se de passagem, eu nunca gostei muito desse tema, ate hoje. Ambos solitarios, rotineiros, traumatizados até, literalmente esperando seu fio vermelho aparecer para se tornarem "nós". Com certeza um bl muito emocionante e bonito." O que voce gosta sobre mim?"

Something light, that made me want to dance
A short drama that caught my attention for the dance theme and the aesthetics as well.Basic summary.... A good drama, touching and engaging like every Korean drama. The actors are good, have good chemistry and I recommend it for those who like a light romance without much catching. If you want a short story, without much believable development and with a cute love, this drama can please you as it pleased me.
Now the whole review:
First you need to start watching knowing that the story is not meant to give you great conflicts and surprising twists, it is a light and relaxed cliché, which yes, could be better if it had another purpose. I believe that for what the program announces there is a very satisfactory delivery. You Make Me Dance was one of the dramas on my list that took me the longest to watch, but as I recently saw that it was shorter, I decided to end my procrastination soon. And what an experience my friends, really heartwarming and making him dance to the beat of every dance, dialog and scene. As I said the actors have chemistry and I follow a classic drama script, very light and without those hot kisses - except for the first one in the office, which for me was the best.
I think it was the only thing that left me with a taste of wanting more, I wanted a little more intensity - it's not chemistry, because it has plenty in the looks and conversations. I loved the soundtrack and I already have some songs saved on my Spotify cof cof hahaha.
No Spoiler:
Unlike other small series I've seen, I believe this one had a round end and left me satisfied, without that feeling of "Oh my God, why did it end if there could still be more?". Because it didn't need more and if it had maybe it would spoil - unlike the last review you wrote about Semantic Error, YMMD is a treat with a nice and cute ending.
I really enjoyed the moments I spent with this drama and I really hope more people can be influenced to watch it by my review.
Spoiler:
I liked the way they developed Shi On, a boy who was forced to grow up and mature on his own after a regretful abandonment, and who still trusts people and wants them around, even if he is rejected. He tries hard and puts effort into everything he does and that's why he doesn't lose their love. As for Hong Seok, I have to admit that I was angry with him at the end for hurting my baby Shi On, but he ended up making the right decision and leaving the boss going back to his beloved. The end even made me like the chief collector, who released him from his promise. The legend of the red thread might be a beaten and overused one, but here it works and makes everything even cuter - the first scene made me smile like a little girl in love hahaha. The two needed to find each other and really form a couple that can't be separated and when a novel manages to leave this feeling in the viewer, ladies and gentlemen, this is a good novel. When you believe that nothing can stop them and that no matter the difficulty, they will get through it together.
If you liked the review I invite you to read like others who have already written here, I always try to update as soon as possible.
You can help me by following and enjoying the review.

Un BL qui se laisse regarder
Un p'tit BL tout mimi ; j'ai bien aimé l'histoire ; ce couple est attachant, et la musique est agréable. De plus, j'ai trouvé ça sympa que cela tourne autour de la dance ; je n'avais pas encore vu de drama sur ce thème-là. J'ai tout regardé d'une traite puisque les épisodes sont courts et que l'histoire était intéressante. Dommage que ce drama soit court, j'aurai apprécié que ça dure un peu plus longtemps que 20 minutes ; j'ai l'impression qu'il manque une suite... Mais c'est vraiment cool à regarder en tous cas.Was this review helpful to you?
Bel drama leggero e piacevole.
Non c'è molto da dire su questo drama bl corto e molto scorrevole.Una storia di un ragazzo aspirante ballerino che diventa un debitore dopo che non paga un prestito che aveva richiesto.Vive a stenti ma non rinuncia al suo sogno.Il creditore è un bellissimo uomo che però vedendolo ballare si sente attratto e decide di aiutarlo però mantenendo le debite distanze emozionali.Chiaramente non sarà proprio facile ma alla fine nonostante tutte le difficoltà andrà bene.Emozionante a tratti commovente questo drama è molto bello.

Coreia já pode ticar o conceito "bailarinos gays" da listinha de dramas rs
Ah, eu fiquei super apaixonadinha pelo plot quando li a sinopse desse drama aqui no MDL, sério! Bailarino x agiota soou tão aleatório e promissor que eu simplesmente não pude pensar negativamente. E não fui nem um pouco decepcionada.A história segue a narrativa do bailarino Song Shion, que acumulou uma dívida devido a um empréstimo e tenta fugir dessa responsabilidade enquanto se exforça para conseguir o papel numa apresentação importante de balet. É nesse cenário que entra Jin Hongseok, o tal agiota que foi encarregado de cobrar a dívida do Shion. Mas Hongseok não quer mais trabalhar como agiota, ele quer sair desse mundo e o Shion vai ser seu "último cliente" então, em teoria, ele deveria terminar o trabalho logo, mas Hongseok acaba se apegando à história e à vida do Shion e decide ajudá-lo a conseguir o papel no musical. Aí é que toda história deles se desenrola.
You Make Me Dance, como todo web drama, apresentou a história de forma simples e direta e fluiu dessa mesma forma - simples e direta. Foi muito palpável pra mim o desespero do Shion toda vez que o Hongseok se fazia presente, aquela coisa de "preciso quitar minhas dívidas, mas também preciso sobreviver e correr atrás do meu sonho" era muito visível nas expressões dele. Já o Hongseok deixou muito clara sua posição "fria e calculista", por mais que desse pra entender pelas ações dele quando ele começou a se preocupar de verdade com o Shion. Toda a química deles fluiu de forma muito natural e singela, eu gosto disso nas produções coreanas.
A música é uma parte importante na série, uma vez que Shion é um dançarino. Nada me chamou muuuuita atenção, mas nada me decepcionou, também.

ESQUECÍVEL
Nada de muito interessante estava acontecendo aqui.Os protagonistas são bonitos e tiveram algumas cenas fofas, mas eu não me senti conectada com a história, as danças do Song Shi On pareciam básicas e mesmo com o Jin Hong Seok sempre o ajudando em muitos momentos ele era mal agradecido.
Não é ruim, mas também não é bom.
A química salva mas não tem nada de especial.
