All the clichés in one show
MDL woke up and put this show on the page... I watched this a bit over two weeks ago and this was something I did not expect. This series packs every BL cliché into the story imaginable... It start's of with a drunken NC-scene and of course the "perpetrator" is in the "but I'm a man" closet... the one who let it happen is in the "he can't be touched" closet, meaning he was traumatized and does not like to be touched by anyone.And of course you will find even more clichés like the scheming bad brother with his worse wife, the awful father and of course the standard evil "bitch" as so many BLs portray woman nowadays. And don't forget one of the MLs must be married off to increase the status and influence of his family. The difference is, I did not find myself annoyed with it. It's just a fun experience with so many ridicilous storyplots, but with the vibe that the creators did not take it seriously.
While I'm critical of most clichés because they are not executed well, this series is a persiflage of all the BLs imaginable and that makes it fun to watch. The actors did a good job, there is real kissing and even the nc-scenes are tastefully executed. The production quality was quite high for such a vertical drama. The only downside for me is, that it could have been a tad better, if they would have released it in the normal format too because it was not filmed with a smartphone. If you want something fluffy, something fun, this is for you!

It is really dangerously sweet <3
Watch it and just drown in cuteness and passion of love. Dedicated protective love , gentleman behavior tho we have the usual villians and the blur cutie but he has good intentions and with a backbone. Seriously watch it and have 0 regrets. It is super high on my rewatch list and i never knew japanese verticals will be so good..omgWas this review helpful to you?
vertical series with great visuals
Overall: the actors did a good job, but the plot circled a bit too much for me. Aired on Vigloo, here's an invite link www.vigloo.com/en/redirect/app/invite?code=c33Vjb4P50 episodes a couple minutes each. Episodes 1-10 are free, can watch about 7 episodes per day for free by watching ads so it takes a few days to finish watching the series.
Content Warnings: past child or intimate partner abuse, manipulation, sexual harassment, dub con turned consensual, non con picture taking, blackmail, drugging
What I Liked
- visuals/dynamic
- supportive coworker
Room For Improvement
- started with the cliche drunk sex
- impersonated a doctor and then did something when he knew they should wait a few days for health reasons
- plot went in circles
- business drama was uninteresting

Quite good for a short
This is one of the better shorts out there. I really liked the acting and the story was good too. I watched it as a movie, all episodes pasted together and that made it doable.The visuals were good and the music was ok.
The overall acting was good.
The mains had great chemistry and great kisses.

Get These Two A Proper Series IMMEDIATELY
Normally I avoid the verticals--not interested in the whole coin thing and whatnot, but for whatever reason, when this landed on my TL on IG, I thought, well, wait, that looks kind of interesting.It was so interesting I actually PAID for a week of this service just to be able to finish and rewatch this show. I don't know who is behind this series but for a vertical with short eps and all that, this was REALLY good. I could see it as a full on series if it had the budget. Either way, I'd love to see these two back in something else, that is on a regular channel or at least not a vertical. I thought it was a cute premise, both ML actors really delivered.
I've rewatched it twice so far...if that is any indication.
