I liked it wayyy more than i expected!!
Okay so, i was in denial for this one. I wasn’t sure how it worked and that took me a bit back from watching it. I was confused why there were 2 stories but after watching this one I think I know what’s gonna be different. But aside from that I wasn’t super excited to watch this, it looked boring. But after watching it IM IN LOVE. This serie was small, cutesy and not very confusing. It was so adorable… I don’t regret forcing myself to watch this anymore!Also just so you know, if you're as confused as me, this is basically the first part, the other star and sky is about the brother, but the events of this show have already mostly happened!
Deffo a reccomend!!

My no.1 series.
I believe this is the best series from gmmtheev. I'm rewatching me and Thee because of the upcoming special episodes, first episode uploaded while I rewatched this series. If there is 1 series that is stuck in my head it is Me and Thee. Everything about this is amazing, making it one of my top series all time. I don't think there's anything I can hate. My first time watching was when this was airing and every new episode I had moments that I carried with me all week. I'm a big Narawin and this made me even more invested. Ever since it started airing till now I have been thinking about this on a daily base, so this is realllyyyy your sign to watch it. I even forced all my friends to watch it but many refused to... :(Let me just start by the music and ost. The songs are fucking amazing. I love how they brought back แค่ในวันนั้น (Truth in the Eyes), the ost from We are the series. This song is one of my favourite songs. I lovedddd Thee and Peach dancing to it. One of the most romantic songs I know for sure. The music in Me and Thee is so good aswell. Especially the music for the special season. I'm not even joking I listened to the song 54 times in a week. Also I loveee Me and You.
What I LOVE about Me and Thee and a detail missed by non Thai speakers is the wordplay. Translated, the sentences from Thee are already very good and funny but in Thai they just hit diffferent. I LOVEEEE THEES SENTENCES. Like "Good night, stubborn one. Go to sleep early. Don't be stubborn with that pillow you rest your dreams upon" is stuck in my head 24/7. All of Khun thee's sentences are just fucking iconic. Like Lookpeach is also a word with a meaning. It just makes the series more affectionate and cute. I don't want to make this review to long by breaking down all of their sentences but I do suggest looking them up online and you'll find the deeper meaning in to their word. Also Tang sati Khun Thee is just amazing and I love that song in their Me and Thee after party. The dance was so funny.
What I loveee is to see WilliamEst as side characters. Est is made for Mok. His role as Po was already amazing and to be honest it somehow feels kinda similar to Mok. I feel really bad for Rome, but also for Thee. Both brothers feel like their whole personality it made up by themselves. To be honest, Rome feels more attached to his mom meanwhile to my opinion, it feels like Thee was a bit neglected because he was sent away from his family. Which explains his obsession with his mom's opera. William was also made for this role and he was the one who made me feel bad for both brothers. He is a different type emotional than Thee. Also Pond and William as brothers is just amazing. I also love to see Bonnie in this and I heard Emi is joining in those special episodes so that is gonna be amazing!! She played Lookplub so well and the relationship between her and Peachayarat is adorable.
Ok hear me out, Phuwin is sooo fucking handsome. He has always been but him as peach just.. I get Khun Thee. Like wdym you can be beautiful all fucking shots. I love his expressions to much and if I have 1 celeb crush it has to be Phuwin. His visuals are just sooooo peak ugh. Yes, I had to write a paragraph about it. His hair falls amazing each time. Also I love Pond with shorter hair. I love how he as Peach did Photografy, it somehow really suited him.
The shots in this serie is fucking amazing. Ofcourse X Nuttapong directed this, as the goat should. I love his work soooooo much. I like reading a lot but I never heard of laWila and I do wanna see more of her work. I will try to find it somewhere. Also Ako Supaporn together with Nichakorn produced this. I don't know anything about Nichakorn but I do really like Ako. Like alllll of her series are good, not even joking. The whole crew and actors are just perfect.
One of the plot things I missed while it was airing is that Peach was shooting for ARSENI... how stupid of me. Genuinely how did I miss that? I was really sleepy or something when I started watching this for the first time. The second time, I keep finding details I missed hahaha. One thing I stayed confused about was PerthSanta's storyline. Like yes, Tawan and Aran broke up but I was confused why and that stays the same. To my guess it was Tawan being extremely jealous of Aran and Peach but still... Tawan was btw a hugeee red flag and I lowkey enjoy it (guilty as charged). I have to say I feel bad for Tawan aswell like his jealousy is toxic, yes, but he was clearly feeling bad about everything.
I love seeing JJ and Godji in this!! I feel like both JJ and AJ were really busy last year (2025), they were basically everywhere. And I feel like most fans are also very familiar with Godji. I have to say Godji makes me feel happy each time seeing her. I love actual representation. She always plays the same type of roles but she is kind of like the one who makes me relieved each series. Also JJ is sooo iconic. Same as Godji, he has the same type of role each time and it makes me laugh fucking loud. And I mean it. I loved how he caught Thee and Peach as first it was soo funny.
Love how it's edited and the transitions of shots. The little sounds are soo funny and add a feeling aswell, it doesn't feel overdone. I like how they styled it, the colour pallets are everything. Especially the house from Thee, it's amazing. I'm obsessed with it.
Pond was madeeee for this role. I love how the series has clear Consent. Even when Khun Thee kisses Peach he asks for permission first. Pond is genuinely soo good in acting as Thee you can tell he is enjoying it in the behind the scene's and in the series itself. Khun thee's dramatic reactions on things Peach says is everything. I really like how Peach can change Thee's behaviour. Like Thee does something he doesn't like and Thee listens to Peach when Peach tells him to stop. That propose made me laugh like crazyyy but many other moments were funny as hell to. I love how Thee really thought he was gonna keep the size of Peach's finger for the ring in his pocket. It's like a Y/N story but the Y/N thinks the mafia boss is insane (which he is).
A bit about RomeMOk but the forbidden relationship between RomeMok really makes me sad. At the ending Mok was fired and he could finally be with Rome but the yearning... I have to say I do like Rome and Thee's parents, however, I don't like the rules they made. I just can't wait for more RomeMok.
I'm dying about the BTS I would never be able to do a straight face if I was acting in Me and Thee. Love seeing Parker in the series!! For those who don't know, the dog in episode 9 is Pond's dog. I love how Parker is actually from Pond, so he is familiar with Pond and to my guess also with Phuwin. Makes the stress of the dog lower aswell. Overall, again, my favorite series and I do give it a 10/10, no matter what. I bet that in a few years this will be cringe asf but that's what I like about it. Can y'all tell I'm a Narawin ahhhahha. I just love PondPhuwin sooo much and this series deserves like 10 more seasons.

Big fan of LYKN and this series in specific !!
Never realised I didn't write a review on this series. I rewatched ThamePo like 3 times now and I've been a big fan of LYKN for quite some time. I rarely rate a series this high for everything. Overal a 10 and the music, acting/cast, music and story rank super high for me. The only smalll thing I dislike are parts in the plot. (I'm used to call them by their irl names or stage names so sorry if I accidentally use their real/stage names in this review)Let's start from the beginning. Po being rejected for a job because his reasoning is weak and personally I just don't get this scene even after watching this 3 times. Po seems way to open about his personal life, but this also shows later on in the series how he changed the part of him opening up to much.
Over to one of my favourite parts: THE GRAPHIC DESIGN. I'm in love with Po's graphic design and LYKN's posters and photoshoots in general (apart from this series). I know Est didn't make it himself but I'm just obsessed with GMMTHEEV's designs. Looks soooo good.
The first time watching this I kinda thought of Baifern as a Sasaeng but getting further into this series I realised she isn't really a Sasaeng and she really did want the best for Po. I'm also ALWAYS happy to see Sammy play in series, her role is always nice and she just lightens up the mood.
The whole plot feels really unrealistic to me but that's quite normal when watching bl's, otherwise it'll be to regular to my opinion. The reason for their disbandment never really made sense to me and I feel like it was only mentioned twice(?). Po's patience is amazing I would get sooo annoyed with Thame tbh...
The side couple ahahahaha, I love them sooo much.
One of my favourite genre's of bl is soft love and I just love their relationship development although I rlly hated Jun at some point for hiding my boys back from liking each other.

When the series loses it's plot
I know there's a lot been going on in idol factory lately and it doesn't surprise me either. With actors leaving and a new ceo etc. This is a series produced by 'copy a Bangkok' and honestly it was my second time hearing about them. I watched pretty much all of their series but most of them are dropped. Now let's talk about why I don't like this series. Please note that this is a personal opinion and I personally think you should watch it yourself to form an opinion.I've seen Nuttapart in mutliple series and I used to be quite a fan of him. His acting skills are pretty good but this series seems to ruin it and worsen it. I wish Poom had a better chance in a different company. His acting skills are genuinely good but the script doesn't make it look good. Here's the thing: Poom plays this stupid innocent boy. It feels like a very stereotypical bl bottom. I feel like the show wanted to show an artistic way of emotions with Poom. Given the type of shots they used. It doesn't work at all and it feels irritating to see him on the screen like that.
Now over to Ki Niwat Naknuan. I have not yet seen him in a good bl. I have seen both this bl and Interminable. Didn't like both of them but that doesn't mean his acting is bad. Once again, I have the same opinion with Poom. I feel like his role is super forced into making him this 'cool nonchalant' guy.
Unnecessary AI is also a thing that irritates me. Couldn't they find artists to hire? I just find this sad and I feel like the quality goes down from it aswell. Another thing is that it's not only bad looking but also extremely unnecessary and the whole dialogue under it aswell is... bad.
After watching the first episodes I had quite some hope but the more episodes came out, the more lost the plot got. Like everything changed and no word was spoken about certain subjects. Ofcourse, this has to do with the writing. I love to write and I'm not hating on the original creator but I feel like a lot of emotions and important details get lost through the show. As if they put the novel in ai and just let it write a script for them (which they prolly didn't)
After all, please form your own opinion. I wouldn't recommend this series but if you really wanna watch it I would say, go for it.

IM CRYING.
I am always very critical on movies/series and I never give as much 10/10's anymore as I used to. But this series deserves a 10/10 on everything (aside from Kenshin). I am honestly extremely surprised. One of my friends recommended this to me and I just put it on my watch list without many thoughts. This is her comfort show and she kept talking about it online, so I had to watch it. I was super surprised about the amazing colour grading and camera work. I actually didn't expect this series to be this stunning. This lowkey became my comfort show as well.Starting off with one of my main reasons of my high review: the production. The first scene was beautiful and I was super stunned. It's also cool they added a horizontal shot in the first episode. And aside from the amazing camera work, the colour grading and the editing was just... everything. I've watched many Japanese BL's, but this one? It might just be the best one. It had 4 producers, 2 screenwriters, 2 directors, composer and a Chief Producer?? That's a LOT comparing to other JBL's I've seen. 4 producers might even be the most I have seen on a BL in general. This is absolute cinema.
I really like how the shows portrays both Jin and Haruki in a different way. Both are struggling with parental issues, both neglect, but the parents out it in different ways. I really like this type of very opposite situation romance. I honestly struggled to relate to Haruki. I have to say my main focus in this series was Jin. I can relate to him with almost all the issues he's facing. Although I understand the type of pressure Haruki was under, it was like I was watching this more for Jin. The show felt like Haruki was the main lead and it showed more of his life rather than Jin's, but that also caused me to sometimes be a bit impatient for Jin scene's,
In the beginning I kind of already guessed the situation Jin was facing. It seemed obvious by his irritations. What I loved about Jin is how he quickly found comfort in another human being aka Haruki. If I'm honest, this was a very unhealthy reaction of him. But given his situation I can totally understand it. I didn't care much about Jin. And I hate to say that. Although I get Jin's situation, his story somehow interested me less. His friends sucked, but he was also very quiet and never told his friends the reality. Now I am not blaming Jin because yk... I get it. He studied hard to keep up his reputation mainly for his parents and his friends, which really saddened me.
Normally I talk about acting underneath the production, but this time I moved it under the plot. I'm gonna be very honest, I was aware that there was a Japanese BL actor who assaulted a women BUT I didn't know it was one of the main leads in Our Youth until after watching this series. Now I do not support his behaviour at all and it disappoints me to hear... But honestly I was just looking to watch something nice. I also didn't really care that much about his character. I think the acting was nice but I'm happy he won't come on screen anymore after what he did, or at least, I hope. Motojima Junsei is an amazing actor and if he did/does something I will, of course, hold him accountable.
Overall this might be one of the best BL's I've watched in a while and I will probably not move on. The production is just... everything. I have written it again and again but I just can't really see myself through the POV of Haruki because I related to much to Jin. Not anymore though, don't worry. I recommend this to everyone. Especially BL fan's who care about the production of a series. It just made me emotional.

Don't watch if you're single
Such a good series, it'll make you feel single. Another series which I have had on my plan to watch since forever. I was really curious what to think about this series. I heard it was extremely good but I found this series because of the ost. This story is so romantic, I genuinely can't describe it. It has a sort of nostalgic feeling to it aswell. I really recommend watching this series. No hate or trying to be rude but I'm not big fan of Jittirain. Some of her work was amazing, however, I didn't like a lot of them.A lot of events were super unpredictable and original. The globe idea is amazing, and didn't expect the globe to be this well done, the transitions between the 'now' and 'then' were sooo amazing. I fucking love this plot, it's soooo original. A marriage plot + time travelling is such an amazing combo. I felt sooo bad for Kawi but later on felt worse for Pisaeng. I really wonder if Pisaeng originally (before the globe) had feelings aswell. Maybe he was actually gay and liked Kawi his whole life or... he is pan/bi/omni and actually liked Praemai. Still thinking about this.
I actually at first thought he might never go back into the future and I was scared he wouldn't be able to ever go again. I'm so glad they didn't make that a big plot (the ending a bit but still different than being stuck...) also I was waiting for the changes, hoping he would go back to the future to see what the actions did and I kept thinking about this. It was sooo fun to see the changes each time.
It's weird seeing Krist and Gawin together, but I do really like them together! I have nothing against ghost shipping and tbh I thought they were rlly cute together. It's weird to see Krist being a 'bottom' and Gawin 'top' though, but I liked it. They actually have great chemistry. I believe this was made back when Singto hadn't come back as pair with Krist and when Gawin didn't have Joss as his pair yet, like gmmtv was experiencing a bit, I might be wrong though.
Respectfully, I can't see Krist as a 'high school student'. Maybe because I'm used to him in Sotus (because I've rewatched that like 8 times more.) After a few episodes I got more used to it and forgot about his age and everything. Kind of the same with Gawin, it's weird seeing him as a high school student, because he looks older than the average student. I have to say though, this is the best series I've seen Gawin act in. The acting work is fucking fantastic. For Krist I can't say much because I haven't seen many of his series.
The emotional ride in this series is fantastic. Brother it felt like I fucking LIVED inside the story. The romance, the humour, just everything hit well. It was soooo good, I can't believe it. Well done directing work and amazing actors. Like I mentioned before, I rlly think this is one of the best acting work I've seen from Gawin. Each one of the characters actually felt like they were inside the series. All characters had at least some personality and I could really form a bond with most characters.
I do have to mention, although Praemai didn't deserve everything I didn't like her. It's not because she 'interviened' with little 'gay' ship but because of her behaviour. she seems nice and she must be BUT she was annoying. Crying about everything and making a lot of things issues. I get her feelings of unrequited love and I definitely think Kawi wasn't exactly nice to her either, since he kinda ghosted her. Really loved seeing Aou, also he is cool as ever, love his hair colour with the pink!! It rlly suits him. Also his character was amazing, so sweet and I love how he came up for lgbtq+ rights. He is definitely my comfort character from this series.
Ending was cute but a bit confused who Praemai chose finally. Suer adorable, definitely a new fav. I really suggest this series especially if you like good acted bl with a fun story line and plot.

Although I understand the hype and really like it myself, there's 2 things I am very critical about.
This time a more critical and professional review unlike other BL review's I've wrote. What I really love is this genre. Investigation drama's are always amazing and have a lot of potential. This is a genre I really love, no matter what. This series was totally unpredictable and had me thinking along often. I really enjoyed it, but my over all is still quite low compared to other good drama's I've seen. I feel like there's a few big issues with this series.The first issue is something I will keep doing. I'm critical on this, no matter what. I am sick and tired of ai being used in any form of media. The intro, the first few scene's and apparently the background?? Now as someone who's mostly focussed on PR for editing as a film student. Is it just me or does even the editing look ai generated?? It PISSES ME OFF. Now here's the thing. Some scene's do seem to be correctly put together and nicely lined up but then there's this very weird feeling when they change shots. Idk maybe it's just their style of editing but this fr feels off. The intro feels like it's made by lazy people. Just give me those ugly 2018 fades again.
Another issue I had is the relationship between Chae Ha and Tae Seon. Although I think they suit really well and have perfect chemistry, I really hate Tae Seon's behaviour. Truth is, at some point I even thought he was very suspicious. But, my main issue is the way Tae Seon treated Chae Ha. I don't see no one calling his behaviour out. Can we all agree that Tae Seon Sa'ed Chae Ha 2 times?? The first forceful kiss looked soo uncomfortable but later it got worse. He did yk what, while Chae Ha was super drunk??? I also hate how Tae Seon treated Chae Ha in this confusing way. The one time he was really mean and sometimes he suddenly turned sweet.
Next thing might sounds weird, not a bad thing. That song in episode 5... it's the same one they kept using in the nc scene's in My stubborn. Now don't question me on this. I just got extremely irritated at that song and I always skip all nc's but it was so weird to hear the same song being used and this time rather for an attack scene. It just surprised me. I hate that song sooo much that I recognise it everywhere.
Can we all praise Yang Kyung Hee?? She directed the best BL from South Korea. I'm really happy that she directed this. Although I didn't like all of her work, I have to admit that she might be the best BL director out there in Korea. Often Korea's BL's lack plot but most of her's don't. I really hope she'll give us more amazing drama's. The acting work was incredible as well. I rather not choose favourites but Park Si Woo... he was amazing. I feel like he was way more relatable than any other character and the series felt like it was purely his point of view .Also I really liked Ha Neul... WHY DID HE DO THAT..
Overall this was amazing, but like I mentioned, I am a bit disappointed in the relationship between the male leads and the excessive use of ai. I did enjoy the plot, it was rich and unpredictable. It's a huge suggestion and I think this might be one of the best Korean Bl's we've had.

To my surprise it wasn't that bad.
I usually don't watch a lot of shorts but I got so much on my current watch list that I decided to watch a shorter thing. I think this short was extremely adorable and actually had a lot of potential however, I believe the reason it wasn't amazing has to do with the length of the episodes. I'm not a huge fan of the plot either.This mini series was filmed in Osaka because they were forbidden to film it in China. I feel like this really saddens me because even if the BL industry is getting bigger in China, there are still sooo many consequences to filming a BL. I wonder if Sun Wei Hao will ever get another main role. Both actors are pretty okay, but I think production just did them kinda dirty. I really like the name Zi Rui, it's cute idk. I also like the fact they did a Taiwan x Chinese couple and actually use 2 actors with both that ethnicity. I'm a bit sad that there's zero extra or side characters, it would've added a bit to the plot aswell. Sure, the om is mentioned but that's it. Also tf was that outfit in episode 1...
The story line is really messy and I dislike it. I think more time would've been better. I'm so sorry but the whole massaging plot made 0 sense to me. I think the start was extremely rushed as well. The second episode was quite.. straight to the point and uhh yes. The 4th felt extremely slow unlike the rest but it was the episode that I liked the most.
Overall my rating isn't that bad, I think it just had far more potential if they made it longer and stretched the plot. I don't understand shorts because it feels like it's made for extreme dopamine fed kids. They could've rather made a short movie instead. I won't recommend but if you have like 30 minutes, use it to watch this instead of doomscrolling lmao.

One of the most beautiful queer friendship movie,
Everything about this movie was amazing. From the cinematography to the acting and story. Every scene is extremely strong. As a gay man myself I feel like Heung Su is extremely relatable and well portrayed, unlike many Korean 'bl's'. It's realistic, with actual representation and homophobia. I didn't know what to expect at first, but you know a show is good when Primary is the composer. This is my first time watching a movie that Lee Eon Hee has directed but I'm for sure tempted to watch more of her work.The opening scene was extremely strong, just like many other scene's. Their friendships had up and downs, just like every realistic friendship. I really like how Koo Jae Hui was protective over Jang Heung and how she did not let any homophobia slide. They clearly cared about each other without romantic feelings attached. When they fight, they make up and come together again. I really need a friendship like this.
One main problem I have with Korean queer movies/series is how unrealistic it is compared to the reality in Korea. Korea is not the most LGBTQ friendly country and I liked how this movie showed the reality instead. I don't like how the homophobia topic is often ignored, and this show just showed it amazing. I also like how they made Koo Jae have realistic experiences as a female. How she is being called a sl/t for sleeping with men for example.
I'm extremely shocked by the acting. Everything feels real, relatable and I really lived along with Jang Heung. I feel like he acted amazing. Whether Steve Noh is straight or not doesn't matter. Either way he portrayed being gay extremely well. As for Kim Go Eun, she acted extremely well aswell. I love how she played the crazy friend. I'm gonna be honest but I wasn't super interested in her love life since she always ended up with red flags and honestly, I'm surprised Jang Heung was able to keep up with her, because I wouldn't. The homophobic mother being extremely absent was also a nice detail.
The whole French made my rating drop a bit because, as someone who is half French, this was extremely weird. Like sure Jae Hui has lived in Paris but the stereotypes were kinda crazy. I would've loved if they had chosen another city and less stereotypes. Also the French is a bit weird to listen to but that's okay. Calling her French because she lived in France made it confusing for me in the beginning.
I like how the movie had an open ending. You can make whatever you want to with it. I'm defiantly interested in seeing the actors and directors in/with other projects involved and I'm just extremely impressed. Just really happy about the actual representation and not just what the media shows you about Korea.

Simple yet good.
Another K-BL and I'm starting to get anxious about watching them because I've seen so much bad rather than good. What I like about Korean Bl's is that they're sooo short so I can easily finish the series if it ends up being bad lmaoo. This series however, wasn't bad, unlike the others. It was simple but extremely good. I love how it strictly followed its plot and didn't add unnecessary things.This series got me surprisingly locked in. I was really curious whether or not to trust Jin Hwan and I just purely watched to see if Min Ju would forgive him just for the story to take a small turn. I just kept on wanting more of those flashbacks and I wanted to see more of the actions Jin Hwan did towards Min Ju and I kept on getting more curious.
They really left me on a cliffhanger and I just didn't believe Jin Hwan at first, he seems so sketchy and just... yeah. He just doesn't seem like someone I would trust either. Another thing to add to this is how I actually didn't expect Min Ju to forgive Jin Hwan and Jin Hwan was soooo fucking sketchy like everything he excused made 0 sense and honestly I assumed he was lying about everything.
Acting is really good, they really got me especially Chae Jong, It's sad he hasn't really been in any series or movies this year. I really look forward to see more of him. He might be the reason I was so locked in, he was truly captivating. I'm not even joking I was mesmerised at how good he acted the feelings out. What I also really liked was that he made it feel real, not the other characters (Sorry Seong). Feel like I can relate to Kim Min Ju extremely. I always have that feeling of not feeling good enough for someone. I also dated a popular dude years ago and I felt exactly how Min Ju felt, like I could be replaced any moment and I was scared he would stop liking me, but I also didn't wanna be to clingy to him.
I have read the Manhwa years ago so I don't remember much and I can't compare them but I am planning to reread it for sure to be able to differentiate between them. I do remember really like the Manhwa, it's sad I didn't know about the live action earlier.
I'm gonna be honest, on some aspects the series is good but could be improved, like more episodes and more character to the locations, but that's something I always like. Even if I think the surroundings were extremely empty I also like it at the same time because that empty love really goes well on it. I would've loved longer episodes and more in depth characters, especially side characters like the best friends of Jin Hwan. I think they didn't give us proper background information to add to that 'emptiness' but I'm just saying it would've been nice. .
I'm gonna be honest I was expecting them to get married hahhaha, but eyyy at least they cleared up their arguments.

This is so much better than I expected
When I saw this originally I didn't really have the motivation to watch this. I was scared it was gonna be a way to big plot for a quite small series and the description was giving RED FLAG. But this is sooo adorable. The plot is indeed big, but they don't add weird side stuff, and stick to the plot. It also doesn't randomly change in the middle of the series. The couples are suchhhh green flags and adorable. I do kinda hate the part where Wela is to 'busy' with his hosting job, but I do get it at the same time. THE MOMS are sooo supportive, I also like how later on in the series, people change their views on Host clubs. I just wish this was lowkey real.I loved all the side couples as much as the main couple but I am sad that the threesome/polycouple is a couple where to are in love with one and not everyone in love with everyone, BUT POLY REPRESANTATION? THAT SO RARE, I loveeee it!!
Overall, one of my new fav's!! I won't be getting over this Bl for months and it's gonna be in my head 24/7.

This was so adorable
This series was absolutely hilarious, in a way it sometimes made me feel embarrassed. I haven't really watched a bl in months that made me giggle, not skip and in adore. This series made me laugh so much. It's cute and soft. Especially in the beginning I was extremely embarrassed by hill. I can't really judge the series by this, but the use of AI is annoying me so much, I bet there's many artists out there who would love to make the designs for the series... I'm glad that, I don't think they did, they didn't use ai for Yuka-chan.Anyways aside from that, I really love the way everyone at the office hipped them at the beginning and it made them fall in love, I kinda missed the falling in love part since it wasn't super strong but after art came at least for Hill it seemed to increase and he finally realised it, lowkey, thanks Art. Anyways I loved how funny the office was, THE SECOND HAND EMBARRASSMENT THO....
I was quite surprise Junji liked it? Well I mean it's fine, but I was really expecting Junji to fire Hill. Anyways, with these types of Bl, I can just correctly guess what is gonna happen... but that didn't really ruin this series for me. I really like how Junji is such an understandable character.

Extremely adorable.
I'm honestly surprised that I haven't seen anyone talk about this series. I accidentally figured out it's excistence and after watching it I was shocked?? Not only is it the perfect length, the romance is more than adorable. Legit kicking my legs in the air. I actually expect to watch something that was low budget but to my surprise this is just really well done. I would give this show a 10/10 but I really hold myself back this time.The acting was amazing. Both Kim Jun Hyung and Won Do Hyun absolutely nailed it. Their relationship felt super natural and real in the series, which is extremely rare comparing to many other KBL's I've seen. Everything about their relationship delightful. I really love how you don't notice it but slowly Gi Hun becomes more and more soft towards Ji Yu and it's adorable. You can also notice them becoming closer and closer. I'm just a big fan of this and I love how I had to realise it. Gi Hun seems to smile a lot more towards the ending and he even got over anxiety of being on stage. I also like how both are really big green flags.
I wished they went a bit deeper in on the trauma and the no alcohol rule. I really like the idea of Gi Hun having a restaurant and not liking alcohol and thus not serving it, but there's something missing. Gi Hun said his grandma used to drink a lot but it makes no sense to me that he was okay with Ji Yu getting drunk all the time. I'm just surprised it didn't trigger Gi Hun in any way. I feel like Ji Yu drinks wayyy too much and it feels like it's for the sake of getting drunk, not necessarily because he actually liked to taste the alcohol. I think the situation between Gi Hun and Ji Yu would've been extremely toxic in real life, but they still made it in the series without a big argument about it.
The side characters were so adorably added. I really loved Choi Wan, Ji Ha and Yun A. They were all so supportive. I have to be honest, I'm surprised Ji Yu and Ji Ha didn't end up getting feelings for each other?? A lot of times in Bl's where there is already a friend they get jealous but Ji Ha never did (until he third wheeled). And then he even got himself a man. That new employee was so random but I love how he joined like an angel falling out of the sky. As for Choi Wan and Yun A, maybe I have the concentration of a goldfish, I just never understood how they fell in love? I love them both but their relationship was a bit random to me.
I was actually really surprised to hear this was not adapted from any manhwa or whatsoever. Maybe it's just me but I get manhwa vibes from this series. I reallyyyy suggest watching it. Especially if you like something short, cute and adorable. With lots of green flags.

It has all the good things.
This series is adorable and everything feels just right. It covers all genre's I like. It's short, Angsty and has unrequited love. Even though I like short dramas, for this series in specific, I think it should've been a lot longer. If I'm super honest, at first I wasn't excited at all to start this, due to K-BL's often failing to reach what they actually want to. But after watching this, I was genuinely surprised.I will mention this again and again, in every single one of my reviews until my opinion changed, but I often refuse to watch Korean Bl's. Due to the lack of representation and the overall pretty unrealistic events. I feel like Where your eyes linger is an extremely well done Korean Bl. What I really like about this series, is the angst. Choi Hye Mi pissed me off extremely much. Even if she seems a nice and honest person, she was really just getting in the way of them. I don't think Kang Gook should've even tried flirting with her in the first place, when his feelings are totally towards Tae Joo. But from his POV it's understandable given that he didn't expect Tae Joo to ever like him back.
The yearning was amazing. As a yearner myself, I just love it when it's done great. What surprised me is that both Tae Joo and Kang Gook yearned for each other. But Tae Joo was a bit of a red flag, he did seriously not have to keep playing girls. Due to me thinking Tae Joo was a bit of a red flag, I forgot to kinda focus on his POV...
Although I'm sort of not familiar with the cast, I have to say their acting was amazing. Especially Jang Eui Soo's acting. I said I 'sort of not familiar' but that's because most series Jang Eui Soo and Han Gi Chan play in, have been on my watch list for quite some time. I seriously have to watch them, especially since their acting skills are sooo good. The director, Hwang Da Seul is amazing. She makes a lot of amazing series and I like her taking on this job. The combination of her and Shin Yoo aaaah.
Overall, this was amazing. I really suggest watching it for people who enjoy Angst, Unrequited love yearning and shorter drama's. The ending was amazing, just hoped to see more of them except for a return kiss. I was watching and writing this super tired so ignore the amount of mistakes. I also don't have a Beta reader or something hahhaha.

I can't take this serious, I apologise.
I'm back at writing reviews and watching shorts again. I really love watching shorts and besides that, they don't take much of my time. This short was just amazing, musically wise. But the plot didn't exist. I don't even think I should label this as a spoiler because there are no spoilers to give.In mid/end 2000s there was this trend of shorts with no words. But I rather not criticise films because they have no dialogue. I had no idea about this but Boy meet Boy was made as an LGBTQ+ awareness campaign film, focussing on helping younger LGBTQ teens understand their own feelings. There were production wise some scene's just badly edited, I've seen the exact problem happening often in older shorts. At the same time, this mini short teaches how you have to be careful when talking to a stranger.
That cupid singing was totally unexpected. When she started singing I immediately recognised this song. Someone tell me if this is just a viral song or if I just happened to know it?? The song over all was a bit too long to my opinion. When a short in general already has no dialogue it just feels weird to suddenly add a song? although it matched the situation I didn't really like it.
What confused me was that they randomly started hugging over a film?? They are stranger right? And then all of the sudden that stupid cupid girl returns. The shots after that hug also made no sense. Overall, it was quite good (for the song) but uhh.... the plot was pretty much non existent.
