Some nice scenes but poor writing
The story is very weak and the actors managed to keep me watching till the end however there was some poor acting, a lot of cheesy/cringe scenes. This drama doesn't really take itself seriously and makes you wonder why they chose this story. I watched this because of the 'don't say no' actors but this show really didn't suit them. It seems rushed, poorly written and badly acted in places. It gets worse as the series goes on which is a real shame as the actors have potential.The story is so weak you can miss a few episodes and it doesn't matter, there's too much filler and unnecessary scenes this could have been a much shorter drama.

Beautiful non toxic story to warm your heart
The casting is on point and the height difference between the two leads is really cute. This drama goes through a range of moments, the bullying scenes are done very well and really make you feel for Seo Hae Bom as he goes through alot at the beginning. Its lovely to see the progression and how the romance develops. It is natural and the kissing scenes, although there are not many, are wonderful.South Korean dramas have really come a long way in terms of BL. They have matured and taken the next step into becoming one of the best places to find BL dramas that are quality and deliver realism and a beautiful romance that BL lovers crave.
The dynamic between the two leads was lovely and even made me cry when Jo Tae Seong protected Hae bom from the bully. Seeing Hae bom cry was heartbreaking as the actor did an amazing job at showing his emotions for the character. The story could have been deeper and more developed but what we have is still lovely and heartwarming. They do not have too many struggles as a couple that are shown which could have been improved on. The music was also nice but could have been better and more memorable. Overall, you should defiantly give this BL a watch.

Beautiful romance with amazing actors
This show is very beautiful both zee and nunew are fantastic and show real emotion and have a believable romance that is beautiful. The love scenes are some of the best I have ever watched with consent and a lovely soundtrack, they are very sweet and extremely romantic. There is nothing toxic about this series.It is wholesome and has some sad moments but they are resolved. I am in love with this series, It is so perfect and rewatchable because of the beautiful story that breaks stereotypes with an arranged gay marriage which is the first of its kind I have seen in a drama. You will love this if you want to see a beautiful drama with sensual love scenes and wholesome relationships with great chemistry! The main couple and side couples are lovely to watch as they progress in their relationships and begin to trust each other. This is my top series of 2022 so far.

Was fun till the last episode
The last episode was terrible, he plans to study abroad on a whim to escape his family and then still goes and leaves Yai who has experienced pain of his mother dying and him being alone. he could have done the masters in Thailand. this ruined the romance for me.Am I supposed to think its sweet when he prematurely returns and says he dosen't want to complete the rest of the degree? This just shows how it didn't mean much to him anyway and he should have just not done it to begin with. TRASH
It has a wonderful soundtrack but is triggering to watch. very dissapointed.

Exciting, Thrilling, spicy and toxic.
I love this drama despite the toxicity, Its ok to watch as long as you recognise these aspects of the drama for what they are and don't try and justify it for other reasons. Type is toxic due to his past however this does not forgive his behaviour.The forced cohabitation is interesting and brings up some fun scenarios that they have to work alone or together to overcome their own worries and prejudices towards each other. It is defiantly an interesting show with very few dull moments.
The ending plot twist is traumatic to say the least and didn't need to go that far. If I rewatch it I always skip the end parts because omg the villain character is terrible and really nasty.

Addictive drama with flaws
Although it was very addictive all the way through and carried itself well, there were many frustrating moments with phone interruptions, lack of communication and misunderstandings which were not too bad but these were used as weak plot points repeatedly and made the show longer than necessary. The acting was very well done and there are some lovely romance scenes as well which were very enjoyable. I love the female lead and her other works, she is really great.C-dramas set in an office may be a genre I will continue to watch.

Bittersweet Story that is well acted and enjoyable
It is very sweet and brings out emotions for the couple. There are some dramatic parts but it is not scary, the actors were cast really well and played their roles perfectly. It was expected that the ending would be bittersweet as it is a romance with a ghost but still it is defiantly worth watching and has no draggy parts. Get your tissues for the final episode though as it really pulls on the emotions, they make a sweet couple and I would like to see more dramas with these actors.I came here after starting Pit Babe the series and was not disappointed .

Fun series, good acting, main couple is fun to watch.
Was a good series with the plotline but the only thing I was not to happy with was the brothers relationship, this was uncomfortable to watch and so was the r*pe scene. This was just not good for a 2021 series and writers should have progressed from this.It still makes another good HIStory series installment but one of the weaker ones. The plot could have been better if there were more events but it was still a fun watch. I hope there are more HIStory series in the future. Both leads were fun to watch and there was some comedy and one spicy scene which were acted really well. The music was not memorable, it was pretty average.

I Love this series!!!
It is great, very sweet and great acting. The couple have an interesting dynamic and experience struggles but there is no heartbreak only tension and a bit of annoyance towards the end so it is an easy watch. The drama takes itself seriously and unlike some older shows, you can believe the relationship.The title song is so good! It's really lovely and fits the he theme of the show perfectly. It has a happy ending with a sweet last episode and kiss scenes. The last scene is great!
It's not a lengthy series so you can get through it in a few days.

Super cute!
This is a really sweet and light hearted series with no over the top dramatic breakup etc. The two ML actors are great in everything they do and pair up really well. If you want something on the lighter side that still has romantic scenes and kissing with funny moments then try this. The cooking elements of the show are fun and I have grown to like these types of show. We defiantly need more light-hearted softer shows like this to contrast the more dramatic shows currently airing such as pit babe. Even though the trend is becoming more towards dramatic and sexualised content, shows like this still have their place and help cheer us up.Was this review helpful to you?

Very romantic with fun beauty and the beast vibes
I am aware that there are plot holes and certain things that there is no way the FL or ML should have been able to get away with such as:-The fake pregnancy and miscarriage
-ML somehow being able to pretend to be two people and no one suspects why his day time role randomly shows up and has a close position to the queen to be.
-The FL gets away with many behaviours that would not have been accepted such as the auction of peoples items (gloves and mask) and the attempt to get the King (ML) a haram so she can love Li Xiong (also ML) .
However this is a fantasy with light hearted elements, there are some lovely and adorable moments such as:
-Second couple are really sweet in their 'will they wont they' dynamic.??
-The second FL is adorable. ??
-The ML is great in changing his voice for both roles and does actually look different which is believable even if you have seen both his human and beastly form.
-The scenes where the main leads save each other in ep 11 and following are really romantic and well shot. I love the way he grabs her and pulls her round to block the weapon.??
I was surprised at how good and addicting this is by the rating but it really is good, just excuse the lighter and silly elements however I loved these parts especially the statue scenes of David and when he is replaced by a present of a similar statue of the king ????

normalising sex work?
After watching the first 4 episodes the acting is good etc however I cannot deal with the story. The main lead is not accepting the his bf is basically doing a form of sex work aka using his body to get paid with love bites, touching etc. This just does not seem appealing and also seems to be trying to normalise this kind of sex work/ host bars that can be very problematic for the host. Wela comes from a good background and does not need to do this work. His bf is also rich so why does he keep doing it. Why cant he get into just performing at the club instead of doing the host work. I'm just not enjoying this type of content.Was this review helpful to you?
Amazing! Full of emotion and excitement
The dynamics between the couples is great! I love both couples, they both go through struggles and discover their feelings towards each other in a well progressed journey that is full of excitement and spice. The actors were cast really well and have great chemistry. This is a must watch for BL fans, it has everything you could want in a series, emotional scenes, tasteful love scenes, lots of skinship and some emotional scenes.I really liked the part where rain had difficulties in handing in his assignment and had to attempt it again which is a relatable problem which ended up in helping to build his relationship with payu.
Sky has some emotional scenes and there's some painful emotional parts that really pull you in and make you feel for him. I love how prapai develops and their relationship becomes wholesome and healthy.

Exciting series with interesting elements
Every week I looked forward to each episode as its exciting, sexy and brings new elements to BL dramas such as the Omegaverse/alpha/enigma powers etc. I would like to see more series like this with powers and unique abilities which adds interesting elements to the relationships and brings more excitement.One element I did not enjoy was the non-consensual almost R**E scene which was difficult to watch and quite triggering. The actors did do a great job especially the actors for way and babe. The actor for Charlie us still new and improving so I cannot be to harsh on his performance which was lacking in some areas. I do want to see them all in other dramas as the cast was great and well rounded. There are some sweet moments as well as spicy moments and also some despair and tension.
Some elements of the plot are predictable but the producer being the main antagonist was a really great choice, he really suits his role. The soundtrack is great !

Watch if you want something light with some steamy scenes.
This show has many flaws but is still worth watching for the light-heartedness and the wild scenes towards the end!The directors made an odd choice to have the actor play Jade in the way he did as he was so loud and annoying. The actor still managed to keep the character cute and somewhat likable. The couple parings are great and omg they went crazy at the end with the NC scenes! I recon that was where most of the time filming the series went into!!
I enjoyed it for the most part but the story was weak and the directors missed the mark with Jade, they should have kept him being cute and less loud and annoying.
