My damn lawsuit, my damn workplace harassment, my damn big eyes.
Okay, so a bunch of these short Korean dramas popped up on my feed the other day, so that's low-key all I have been doing is watching them, and now I need to start writing reviews, so this one is up first! I would probably give it like a 7 out of 10 because I thought it was pretty good; there were just some plot holes. Okay, so I am going to say what I liked and what I didn't, and then put some quotes from my notes that I thought were funny.
I like the main plot point of this show; I think it's really fun (a little random but still fun). So basically, this guy starts at a new company that is failing as a 3-month temporary worker (side note: it only takes 3 months for this butt fuck company to go under, lmao), and it's just him and his boss on the team; okay, great, things are looking up. WRONG. He has this friend who writes BL manga, and she's like, "Yo, can you look at this?" and he's like, "Yeah, sure." Side note: it's on a similar-looking drive to the one he has his work shit on because apparently we don't know how to send files over email in the big 2026. So we know what happens next: the boss sees the bl, and that starts their romance...at least one part of it. But yeah, I thought that was fun, and the fact that the boss was into it made it funnier.
Following this, I also liked how funny this is. It was a simple, non-overbearing kind of funny, but I still liked it a lot, and it made the show a little more bearable (I was fighting demons at 3 am, trying not to laugh at this stupid ass show).
Next up on things I liked: the guy who was the "bottom." God, he was so sexy, my lord. Like, he has these massive ass eyes (hence the end part of my headline), and they really fit his face well, and he was such a pleasure to have on my screen, my lord. Very sexy man, 10 out of 10; love to see it.
And finally, for things I liked, I thought they had pretty good chemistry. Part of the reason I don't watch Korean BL is that it's often like watching two brick walls kiss and flirt, but I feel like with these short ones on YouTube, they are really starting to move away from that, which I really like, so go them for this, i thought they really helped to bring this to life with both of their acting and also their chemistry with one another.
Going to things I didn't like is that this show is very loud. Maybe it was the microphones or editing (or maybe the fact it was 2 am and I had this shit on one volume and it was still too loud), but fuck, we gotta turn something down because that shit was actually so fucking distracting. Yeah, it's a little thing, but still something that pissed me off.
Next up, and truly my biggest critique of this show, is that there are plot holes, and I don't know if that's because this show was so short, but I felt like I was missing parts in the show. Like at the start there is a chunk missing, and it feels like a couple of weeks go by, and suddenly we are fine with our boss? Like, I don't understand- why couldn't we show, like, a quick flashback or montage because that just felt awkward and rushed over, when it was a pretty important part of the show. And the next plot hole is when they started dating- yeah, so why didn't we show that? I mean, that's the whole point of this show, is it now? Why was that just cut out? One minute they are all, "Oh, you are my boss and a fucking weirdo," and the next minute they are all, "Hey, you are my man now." Like what? That actually didn't make any sense. And I can usually excuse plot holes, but this was such an easy fix; we could have added 5 more minutes to this show, and that would have fixed it, but we didn't, so I am going to hate on it.
Next up for my review are fun quotes from my really copious notes on this show...note the sarcasm there; my notes are very short, just like this show. "This looks like it was filmed on somebody’s phone in horizontal." "First day on the job and we’re already harassing him. No wonder you have no one on your team." "Hey, at least it’s not your nudes, but I feel like showing your boss BL is arguably worse."
Overall, that's really it for my review, because this show is so short. I did like this a lot, and for what it was, it was cute; I will give them that. It's just that the plot holes were so big; I fell into them. But yeah, I would say watch this because it's short; just keep what I said in the back of your mind while watching. Okay bye!
