This had so much potential but the writers messed up big time!
I was excited that there is one more BL from Korea. And after Where your Eyes Linger, I had high hopes because that show was fantastic! But boy was I disappointed!The only plus point of this story was the character of Sang Ha, rest everything didn't click. The other male lead was just not good.
The story and writing was everywhere and a big mess! Multiple plot lines without any connection between them. Plus there was no chemistry between the leads - it felt that they were just acting since it's their job. Where your eyes linger had everything going for it - great chemistry between the 2 leads, and equally good storyline as well as the supporting cast. But Mr. Heart was meh!
You can watch it one time when you just want to kill time - as the episodes are only 7 to 10 mins long (had it been long like Thai BLs, I would not have recommended even to watch).

A Good, Short and Sweet Web series
I watched all the 8 episodes in one go.It's a story of two girls sharing a house with three boys and the funny situations that arise from it.
The acting by the cast is good. The story is simple yet effective with funny scenes, cute romantic scenes, and solid chemistry between the leads.
Personally, I felt that the story should have had just 4 leads (2 FL and 2 ML) - they justified their characters and acted well. The other 2 characters were not needed.
I recommend it to everyone who wants to watch some fun, short, and light-hearted series. I liked this web series and would watch it again sometime

IMO - The biggest disappointment in this year!
This series had everything going for it: good cast (both main and supporting), good story background (struggle in show biz), good music (some good singers lined up for OST) but alas it was not enough to keep this series from sinking.The show started out great! The first few episodes or rather the first half was good but the writing and direction really messed up the second half. I loved the characters of both male leads but the character of the female lead was just bad - of all the characters in the show, I disliked her the most. The acting was good but the characters that were written for these actors were poorly written.
The show had multiple plotlines in the first half and they were interesting but none of these were taken to the logical conclusion. None of the plotlines is truly explored. Why would someone want to watch a show where the plots are not concluded properly? The struggles of actors from poor backgrounds, the impact of cyberbullies on actors' lives, a possible one-sided love, parents overly involved in their kids' lives (and using money), were some of the interesting plots but god these plots were messed up big time.
The second half added atleast 1 more interesting storyline but it was just left hanging. On top of that, they add unnecessary and boring characters. The last few episodes were painful to watch. I mean the last 4 episodes, I was just fast-forwarding half the time and finishing the episodes asap just to complete the show - seriously a lot of waste episodes.
The only plus points: Music and some good acting from male leads and their families.
Bottonmine: DO NOT WATCH AND WASTE YOUR TIME! I have not included any spoilers in my review but even if you skip this show you will not miss anything. I will not recommend anyone to watch this show.

The worst FL and ML ever in a Korean series!
I don't know how is this rated at 7.9. It should not rate more than 5 or 5.5. Both the characters of ML and FL were horribly written. The writing and story was bad, pretty bad. The actors tried to justify the poorly written characters but could not do much.The story of ML and FL was terrible and could have been much better. The one story that was good of second leads was destroyed at the end by unnecessarily breaking up. And the third leads were there just for show I feel.
This had so much potential. But the story, writing ruined it all.
Please do not watch it all. I just fast forwarded it on Netflix just for the sake of finishing it.

The new standard of BLs! One of the best BLs in the past 5 years!
I was done with school based BLs and BLs where the leads are rowdy teenagers in school/college. This BL was a breath of fresh air and frankly one of the GMMTV's best BL series. There were proper adults in the drama playing adult roles and it was lovely to experience the leads' journey towards love for each other.Reasons to watch this series
1. Simple yet amazing story, quality production and beautiful cinematography
2. Solid acting by the leads and supporting cast
3. No unnecessary scenes - there were no unnecessary sexual scenes between the leads, yet their chemistry was worth watching
4. Music and OST - the title track itself is very good
8.5/10 because at times the plot was very slow and some scenes could have been acted well.
With this series and Manner of Death, I am glad that there is some refreshing change. Do not miss this - A must watch!!
