I loved absolutely EVERYTHING about this series.

As a binge watcher, it took me a day and half of watching only this show, zero torturous waits in between each episode, no other BLs dividing my attention, and I can honestly say that without a doubt, I loved everything about this show and I wouldn't change a thing. What an absolutely beautiful masterpiece of a series!!

The story was so interesting to me, with so many details and layers that all came together to paint such an incredible picture. I loved seeing the story told from the viewpoints of both leads and seeing and FEELING what each of them had to go through. I felt so completely immursed in the lives that were playing out before. So much effort and time was put into making sure the viewer truly felt what the characters were feeling and I absolutely appreciate that.

The acting was absolutely top notch. I honestly think they could not have picked better actors and I really enjoyed the special episodes that really gave you a good look at what it took for those actors to emote so much emotion on screen. Oh the absolute appreciation I have for them all of the actors and I am beyond blown away by Tor and Mix. One would never guess this was their first main roles, they performed so brilliantly. The bond and the emotion was so brilliantly captivated and it was an absolute treat to watch it all unfold on screen.

The music was absolutely phenomenal, both sound score and OST songs. NuNew and Sompob outdid themsleves and the people that made the decision to have them sing those songs as well as use the score that they went with? They deserve and award.

The locations and the way this series was shot, the vision they created. It was perfect. That coffee shop is lovely, that restaurant with the bridge in the background, every location chosen, was a perfect choice to me. I am so incredibly impressed with this series and this is easily one of my favorite BLs of the year,.maybe even my favorite of the year and certainly one of my favorites of all time.

I love Zee and NuNew so it pains me to say what I'm about to say.

I just thought this was pretty bad. I love them, both their individial acting and oh mygoodness the chemsitry is gorgeous. This story though? Even some award deserving kisses could not save it.

I found the story to be quite boring up until just over the halfway point and while things did get interesting, oh geez, the acting. Please don't as Nu to act like that again, that was hilarious and cringy to watch, especially as a fan and knowing how talented he really is.

I didnt care for his character in this movie. He was so simpering and meek and everything his Cutie Pie character is not and I found it frustratng to watch. As an actor I felt he deserved better than that in a role he was being asked to portray.

Zee's character, well there was nothing new there. This is his signature role and it can not possibly be any sort of stretch for him. In fact their interactions just felt so choreographed. The exact looks, the exact facial expressions, the exact head movement, it's exactly as I have seen from them before and it just felt a little like I could practically hear the director saying "okay aaaaaand cut!"

With that said, come on, you know they can do no wrong whatsoever in the kissing department. They could teach a masterclass.

For me this movie started out so slow and boring and then went so far in the other direction so quickly that it was jarring and that all might have been okay, maybe, had the acting been better and more believable. I'm sorry NuNew, I love you, I do, but it was just so impossible not to laugh and shake my head.

Now, what I did like about this story was the cute side couple. There was only a little glimpse of a potential story there that I would loved to have seen explored. The interactions between those two started out honest feeling to me but then of course, I guess for times sake, it morphed to the usual scene like a box that was checked.

How do you go to what appears to be work attire the whole time then suddenly no shirt and a pair of white shorts? I mean he was watering the property flowers right LOL? That was just hilarious and out of left field for me.

Did I hate this movie? No but given the bigger named actors, I was expecting so very much more and I thought the actors deserved better.

I am so proud of them!!!

I am so incredibly proud of all the members of OnlyOneOf for this but I am ESPECIALLY proud of Nine, Mill, KB and Yoojung. I've only been into Kpop for a few years but one of my 5 bias groups is OnlyOneOf and I have seen their music videos and I love the series of ones that watch like short form BLs. I knew they could act well but I honestly didn't realize just how good Nine and Mill are and I did not realize KB could really pull of a role like this. I mean. I this isn't a super complicated or intricate story but I felt the love connections between everyone needed some good, believable emotion and they delivered on that.

The chemistry between Nine and Mill was so lovely here (no surprise) and the emotion and attention to detail they delivered, especially in their eyes and in the tiniest of facial expressions and body language was so nice to see. Gosh they are just such a wonderfully connected, cohesive group and that was really shown here. KB played his part as the lying, manipulating ex perfectly and Yoojung delivered his role honestly and gently, just as his character seemed to be. It was lovely to see the trans community represented here. It was beautifully done. Nothing over the top or way out there. It felt natural to me.

I got a kick out of seeing actual OnlyOneOf video footage and songs used in the series. This felt like a group project to me and as a fan of the group, I appreciated seeing all of them appear in this at some point even if it was very small roles like Rie's jealous trainee role and Junji awkward kind of silly trainee role. As small as that role was, I feel it is different from how he seems to be in real life and I appreciate his effort. Again though, I've only been into them for a year so maybe I'm wrong about that but to me his character he played seems very different from how he seems in real life.

My only gripe with this series was the ending. I felt it was a bit rushed and there could have been a bit more time and story put into the ending but it did leave me satisfied, overall. Now I am so so SO very ready for a series with Rie and Junji as the lead couple and a series for KB and Yoojung just like how their music videos are shown. In fact I would love for there to be full length series BLs based off of each of their music video story lines because those are so darned good!!

Anywho, well done by all of them and I hope this is just the beginning for each of them in the terms of acting.

I loved it!

I absolutely LOVED this series! I loved the connections and bonds the actors portrayed between their characters, the story was interesting and kept me fully engaged over the few days it took me to binge watch it, I thought the music and soundscore fit the series perfectly and helped bring even more feeling and emotion. Lastly, I thought the story as a whole, with the inclusion of the spin off episode, left me with such a satisfied, warm, and toasty and hopeful feeling. I absolutely loved this series and wouldn't change anything about. Kudos to the actors and to all involved in bringing this story to the series screen.

It kept me interested.

I wasn't expecting too much based 9n the review rating and some of the comments but overall I really enjoyed this. It starts off a bit silly but as feelings start to build, I really began to feel for the characters and I absolutely was curious for the outcome of this love triangle. This isn't a complicated story and I felt like it was kept simple and emotionally honest. I could feel the frustration and I could understand why emotions and feelings went unsaid for so long. It just felt authentic to me. I do have mixed feelings about the ending and I do feel like things got a bit rushed, naturally considering this story had to be packed into 5 episodes but I feel like a good story was told here and it was certainly worth the few hours of my binge time.
