The world needs more DaouOffroad in it!
There are few BLs airing now that get as much right as this one does.Was it perfect? No..
But I think what is also important is the feeling we get from watching a good BL, and if we have good memories of it afterward that stick in our head.
Daou and Offroad have great chemistry built from years of friendship as band mates, and in LIT, it can make up for the little flaws in storyline, and other minor technical issues that this show has.
The entire cast put in some great performances, regardless of the sometimes over the top, goofy plot. The production value, cinematography, and OST were also pretty commendable.
I’m sure others can/will poke holes in the quality of this BL for this and that, if they try hard enough, but it really is subjective. As someone who has watched close to 200 BLs over the years, I will still put this in my top 20.
And lastly, I really hope Daou and Offroad have more projects together in the future!

This did not age well.. ?
This is not the worst Kdrama I’ve watched, but boy.. was it hard to get through..Aside from the main theme being a 16 yr old high school student marrying a 23 yr old playboy, there were other issues as well..
The way the family accepted their daughter being married off at 16 was crazy.. at least wait til she’s not a minor! The manipulation by grandpa was not cool and showed zero care for the feelings, life goals, or thoughts of the couple..
The storyline would have been much more believable if they got married with the understanding that he would stay abroad doing whatever it was he was doing before, and she would finish high school and graduate college. Then he comes back to Korea, after they’ve both had a taste of life (without stunting her childhood, and he could hopefully become mature enough for a committed relationship) Then it seems like they would have a fighting chance, with no regret later in their marriage for the things they gave up while fulfilling grandpa’s wishes..
This is not a re-watch for me..

Offbeat & quirky, but surprisingly heartfelt story..
The first couple episodes I was left scratching my head, but the great chemistry and performances of the 2 ML characters kept me watching.I was pleasantly surprised by how this very quirky, awkward show managed to morph into such a sweet and touching love story between a high school delinquent and his college age tutor.
I also surprised myself by re-watching a few episodes only a few months after finishing the show. I don’t usually rewatch, but some of the scenes stuck in my head and I honestly missed this pair of cuties so much that I had to see them again.
This show is worth a watch- give it a chance♥️

A step backwards for OffGun after ‘Not Me”
I love OffGun and watch everything they are in, whether it’s together or their solo projects, but I really have a soft spot for them, as they are one of the 1st BL couples that I fell in love with, in both dramas and reality shows.Cooking Crush is not a bad BL, it is a rom-com BL, heavy on goofiness and comedy, but very light on storyline and character development.
My beef is mostly with GMMTV, for using veteran BL couples who have proven their worth- starting their careers with several lesser roles on several so-so series, and have now worked their way up to a certain level of stardom and credibility.
I feel like their apex was definitely hit with last year’s Not Me. Not only was it worthy of OffGun, it had substance, serious subject matter, and was thoughtfully executed by these the entire amazing cast.
I thought “great! now that everyone has seen them at their best, they won’t have to do high school or college roles anymore.” SMH 🤦♀️
GMMTV has such a huge catalog of teen- early 20’s actors that could have easily slipped into these Cooking Crush roles.
IMHO, it’s a waste of OffGun’s talent to put them in these types of series that they have already done many times and now can do in their sleep.
Just one fan’s opinion..🤷🏻♀️
