Cute~

BASICALLY: 9.5/10
Cute little story about enemies to lovers in the workplace~ By some fate, the two male leads end up living together (of course), and, through that, they see different sides to each other. It does have a few cliche themes, and several plotholes, but there's nothing toxic about the plot, and the actors are good at what they do (all of them), and ALL OF THE SIDE CHARACTERS AND COUPLES ARE SO CUTE OMG. So, yeah. Definitely recommend to anyone wanting a bit of a slow burn (it's only 12 episodes, so it's not a SNAIL BURN, but it's not immediate either, which I can vibe with) adult romance, free of engineer students or high schooler lol

STORY: 9.5/10
As stated above, I think the overall story is cute and endearing. Both leads have something about them just make you love them, even when the boss is being overbearing and acting like a heartbroken tyrant at the beginning~ His rules are both ridiculous and practical, which is honestly what makes them infuriating (like, I can't argue with your logic, but WHERE'S YOUR HEART, ASSHOLE). The character development for both, though? 10/10. I deducted a bit because there's a point in the plot that I'm not fond of. It's nothing toxic, but it's just not my personal thing, so it didn't get the full 10 this time around~

ACTING: 10/10
There's a familiar face if you follow the HIStory BLs that Taiwan does~ The actor who plays Hiro (HIStory 1: My Hero's Aaron Lai) is in this, and I love him~ Aesthetically, he's gorgeous, but acting-wise, he's even better~ I love the way his eyes soften as he's falling, and the way he just melts and ugh. He's so good. Another star from the HIStory shows (HIStory 3: Make Our Days Count's Wayne Song) cameos in the last episode briefly, and that interaction ALSO made my day~ (Side Note: Go check out the HIStory shows! They're so good~ They're not related AT ALL, so each one can be enjoyed separately if one storyline interests you more than the others~ Moving on~)

MUSIC: 9/10
The music is good~ Nothing mind-blowing or out there, but the OST was nice nonetheless~ I thought the sound effects were good and nicely places, with the important moments enhanced by song choices, but I didn't save any songs this time around~

REWATCH: 10/10
Cute, 12-episode BL with adorable main leads and cute side couples? I'll rewatch this one until I HATE IT lol On a more serious note, it's definitely one I'll rewatch while cold this winter or in quarantine~

OVERALL: 9.5/10
It's nicely done~ There's not any real toxicity, the characters both have their rights and wrongs that they commit (never anything too horrid; just normal, I'm-still-growing-as-a-person-because-I'm-human-and-I-suck-sometimes problems that everyone has no matter how good they try to be), and the development for both of them is nice and realistic while still managing to make me scream in excitement and get yelled at 2am lol
