When reading the description of this show it looked right up my alley. I tend to like these kinds of shows and in the beginning this show really had me. I story was interesting and the actors pull it off really well. Out two leads actually have really good chemistry I found.

****SPOILERS***SPOILERS***** SPOILERS****


The biggest problem with this show is that fact that that the male lead made the female lead believe she had cancer when she really didn't. I know that all these shows have to have some kind of liar reveal but this one is one of the worst. For some reason this one rubbed me the wrong way making her believe she was sick just to get her to fake marry you that is really f'ed up. Luckily the show doesn't spend a lot of time on it, she is mad about it fro like an episode and a half, then gets over it and they are back together but when ever I think about this lie I just start to like the main male lead less and the show as a whole less. If you can get over this lie then the show is good but this lie is the deal breaker also understandable and just stir clear of this show.

This show is super fun and cartoonishly silly at least for the first half. While not all the jokes landed, I did laugh at parts. However, the story for the first half didn't really interest me and seemed just like a vehicle for more jokes. In the second half of the show the story picks up and becomes more plot focused however this came at the expense of the humor which is this shows strong point. This show does not work as a serious fantasy drama, while the actors try it just doesn't come together and feels forced. It was also a total tonal shift to just cut out also all the comedy and just be a straight up drama in the second half. I should have kept the same tone it had in the first half while the comedy wasn't amazing it would have made the overall show a more enjoyable experience.

I was extremely excited for this show when it was announced. As a BL fan, I was excited that Korea was producing a BL drama and this show did not disappoint. This show is a beautiful love story between these two characters and it was heartwarming and heartbreaking to watch. The skin ship scenes were very well done and showed a lot of chemistry between these two actors. The plot is very simple. Two friends who have been pinning after each other for some time finally start to realize and work though their feeling for one another and I think that for a short show like this a simple plot was a good decision. Simple plots allow for the story to fully told and to focus on the emotions.

I am very happy to see Korea producing more LGBTQ drama and I hope this is a trend that continues cause if they are of this quality they will be spectacular

This show feels like a half baked idea for a fanfic made by people who wanted more of the Mean/Plan couple but couldn't wait for LBC 2. I know these actors are good and know what they are doing I've seen them do better in so many other show. However, there is only so much you can do with the subpar nothingness that is this material. This show is short but even for a show that is only about an hour long nothing happened and it felt like the waste of hour. If you want more of this couple just watch reminders or a LBC compilation on youtube it'll be a better use of your time.

I am a big horror movie fan so i was really excited to see this this movie and boy did it excite my expectations. While I am a horror fan I have never been that into zombie movies but this was exceptional in every possible way. Amazing script brought to life with incredible acting that works perfectly with the score. The biggest flaw a lot of horror films have is the characters but not this one, you were rooting for all the main cast. It was the only horror film that had me feeling so connected to these characters that I cried. I spent the last 10-15 minutes of this movie the first time I watched it just sobbing.
