Actually not that bad.

I was pretty excited to watch this ever since the trailer and had some pretty good expectations. To be honest the story line is very odd. It doesn’t make 100% sense. We never got to see what Thoop was doing that required him to constantly need money from Cher. The boss and Cher falling in love just seems so spontaneous. The established couple Zo and Three are super cute! I liked they had a bit of their own screen time but it was a bit just placed there with imo no real need. The story line is pretty grim too for such a light romance bl.

I like ForceBook as an acting pair. Many people watch this because of Force, but I liked them both. The chemistry and acting was really good. I don’t think Book overacted for Cher. I know some people who are actually literally like Cher. Cher just seems to be that type of character. I like how they show insane character development also. At first the boss wasn’t too social and liked a routine thing. But after Cher the boss was trying new things and going out and having fun. A lot of people didn’t like ep 11 because Cher sort of broke up but I really understood. Cher wanted a break to get his life together because he was close to graduation. But the boss was clingy and because of that Cher knew the boss wouldn’t let him go so easily. I’m not sure about Gun’s mom though. She didn’t seem like the whole homophobic mom I thought she was going to be. Gun said his mom tried to ungay him so it raised my homophobia sensor. But she was not like that at all. She was like understanding? Complete opposite. I like how Jack was watching out for Cher because let’s be honest here. A company owner and an intern? That’s pretty scandalous tbh. It’s depicted as bad in the drama but it’s actually not. I’d be concerned too if any of my friends didn’t that.

One thing I didn’t like was the time line. Basically the first 11 eps and half of ep 12 is during Cher’s internship which is 3months? It doesn’t seem like 3 months go by at all. Then in the last half of ep 12 the boss states it’s been a year since Cher’s graduation. I was so confused by that. It just jumped through space and time? I would’ve thought Gun would’ve popped the question in that time sphere. Anyways the mention of time passing does come up quite frequent by how close Cher’s graduation is. Also they didn’t show Tian’s anniversary. Which I would’ve liked to see personally. Or the arrest of the step dad.

I really like this and it was easy to watch. I kept smiling during the last ep. It was so cute. However the story line makes it pretty grim. It’s good but need a way better story line.
