did we watch the same show ?

Genuinely confused by the negative reviews because HELLO??? 😭 This was easily one of my top 5 JBLs. I had so much fun watching this, I was literally giggling the entire time.

I loved how refreshing their dynamic felt. They actually felt like two people who genuinely cared about each other instead of falling into the usual “alpha guy + softie” BL formula. Normalize masculine/masculine BL relationships PLEASE, I’m so tired of seeing the same dynamics over and over 😭

And honestly, I didn't even need a kiss scene. Their chemistry and the way they cared for each other were enough for me. It felt genuine, and that mattered way more.

The ending was definitely rushed and I would've loved an actual confirmation of their relationship, but whateverrr. I still loved it. The cast was perfect, Natsuki is a beautiful crier, and this whole drama was just such a cute, refreshing watch.

Anyway, 10/10 for making me giggle and then making me question my taste because apparently y’all hated it 😭

Something’s Not Right… and it’s the script

Listen. I came in with high hopes. The leads? STUNNING. Visuals?? Off the charts. The potential?? Immaculate. Black cat x golden retriever dynamic?? Inject it directly into my veins. I wanted to love this. I really did.

But sadly… something truly was not right 😭

We had Ba Woo, a precious golden retriever man who was yearning, crying, and projecting emotions like a side character in a Shakespearean tragedy—and Jee Hoon, a man so emotionally repressed he made Mr. Darcy look like a talk show host. The chemistry was there but the storytelling said “nah.”

Instead of giving us a slow-burn romance with healing and mutual understanding, we got a confusing mess of miscommunication, deadpan reactions, and emotional whiplash. Every time a moment built up, the next scene undercut it. It was like watching two gorgeous men circle each other in a fog of unresolved trauma and half-written dialogue.

This show could’ve been the blueprint for “friends to lovers with longing stares and tearful confessions.” Instead, it gave “Pinterest moodboard with zero substance.”

I stayed for the pretty faces. I left with a migraine and a sense of what could’ve been.

Chef’s kiss. Pure perfection. Would absolutely recommend!!

Hands down one of the best K-BLs or BL dramas in general—I’ve ever seen. And that’s saying a lot, because I’ve been watching BLs for over a decade now. I rarely give a perfect 10/10 rating; out of the 200+ dramas I’ve watched, only around 25 have earned that score from me fr.

I really loved the overall story and the acting. And oh my god, Ju Sung-hyeon’s smile? Weak at the knees—he’s so golden retriever coded, it hurts 😭💛. Meanwhile, I’ve been cursing Shin Jaemin the entire show—couldn’t stand him LOL.

But yeah, this drama? Chef’s kiss. Pure perfection. Would absolutely recommend!!
