a beautiful and colorful story
This series has something special and positive about leaving the usual theme of young couples in the university environment or in the phase of self-acceptance. It's about two adults whose problems have more to do with their own insecurities. combining an artist and his world with an entrepreneur and his world gives it an interesting balance. the use of color linked to the artist is a very prominent resource and also gives beauty to the series. Tae acting is already a luxury, he is so special. and let it be Singto, then double luxury. different is that the chemistry between them does not flow naturally although the scenes are brief in that regard. The secondary couple Yoon /Yatch non-existent chemistry. I expected the series worse because of some reviews but it's good and it's nice to watch with those well-shot graphic novel sequences. the music is not invaded and is the emotional reinforcement of the scenes. beautiful and recommendable to see, if only for the aesthetics and the two great actors Singto and Tae Darvid who star in it.Edit: it should be noted that in a final chapter there is a fight between him and her the artists' manager and it is a shame how violence towards the female manager is shown, even appealing to the fact that she is a woman and defending the aggressor who is not in that there is gender. the worst thing is that the artists look impassive as if nothing happened. that scene could be deleted because having mentioned the antipathy and fight would simply have been enough but it destroys the relaxed character of the series and is absolutely despicable

gets worse every episode
I started this series with doubts because of the rating I read and as always you have to pay attention to what other people say... this series starts off being a mess but curious, with a young waiter who seems innocent but after a few minutes he joins the game of King without shame or hesitation. the script errors are tremendous because they don't allow them to really get to know the characters and we don't understand their decisions or their reactions. Pun seems to be the one who is clearest that he is gay and even makes a scene of tears to seas of why Sib has so much hatred towards lgtbi people … but on a visit to the engineering laboratory he starts with a macho speech towards Sib's girlfriend about the fact that women and she are attracted to fashion and bags… come on, machismo even in the queer people!Sib of course understands that this Pun boy who aspires to be a pastry chef because he's a man has to like robots... Sib is the perfect henpecked guy who is said in Spain to be a guy managed by his partner as long as he doesn't have tension and that he becomes her boyfriend the day after she kisses him in the game… well we can even accept this character of repression even in his sexual orientation. But what to say about the other characters ! The brother Em suddenly goes from being a beast to a lamb with Pun and courts him when the chemistry is non-existent. Not to mention the scene of Pun and Sib in their first time!!! Pun's frightened and disgusted face makes one wonder whether to keep looking! what a barbarity of misbehavior! poor Sib does what he can but it doesn't work. And Tar the friend in love and partner who is manager first but in the end is the one who decides to end the business and who accepts a second no and waits patiently for Sib… as a rock ! Last episode The cafeteria is closed, the cafeteria closes, and everyone goes their way…. Pun goes to China with her family and returns from vacation apparently at the age of three but! Eureka! everything remains the same !
As said, after three years Pun returns from China and He says in the taxi to this mom that he will be right back soon but suddenly he asks for a job in the same cafeteria !!! and the two partners Tar and Sib are still together and looking for a barista as if time had not passed... an abrupt and meaningless ending. one of those that reminds you of the lost time invested in this absurd story. Not to mention the hysterical girlfriend and the friend secretly in love with non-existent chemistry and tons of toxicity. what is normal in the BL of witch manipulative brides and who want to convert the gay. But tiresome is this! In the end, the music is saved, but the coffee shop ends up getting tiresome… so much seeing the poster and that decoration and so few clientele… and it does exist because it is in the sponsors. The subtitles and audio fail quite a shame and I've seen it on the official channel. Anyway, except for the rambling of chapter 1 that seems to put you in an uninhibited story, things get worse... and sometimes they even cringe when Ryo/Pun acts in the supposedly hot scenes that are not hot at all. a waste of time.

Boring and confuse plot
the story from the beginning is slow, very slow, even sleepy. We see the arrival at the house of two boyfriends or a future couple, but not a real couple, since the painter who is a guest at the house that this colleague owns rejects him at the first attempt at a kiss in the house. They tell us that they collaborate in a job to illustrate a book. the scenes of mixing the illustrated book with the real characters are rare and tiresome. then the development of the bromance… there is no passion, that is clear, therefore the issue of couple rings as a flashback is not understood. no couple of just friends does that. The painter has a mental mess with the issue of being a vampire... if he is, why does he go to the beach? he eats like the most... or is it just imagination? ...the weird call about someone's anointing...it's plot nonsense. On the other hand, there is no affective chemistry and a whole mess of time frames that lead us to boredom. Come on, I don't recommend it at all.Was this review helpful to you?
Light n the dark
this short film demonstrates how much can be told in depth with only the support of the actors and their gestures. the sordide of the environment arises naturally from the scenes of the daily life of the people on the fringes of society, here there are no rich houses or universities, only loneliness and hope that arises from the love that in a fortuitous and unexpected way connects the people and saves them. it is tough but beautiful. hopeful and as the protagonist is light in the darkness through love.Was this review helpful to you?

a story about love and self discovery and acceptance
discover love: a well-narrated story, in two short chapters, with production effort, with the freshness of very natural and real actors, in a natural mountain and lake environment that truly makes you feel that you are there. a simple story of how one discovers that he is in love and that he is in love with a boy in this case, and with simplicity the acceptance by themselves and their environment. very inspiring to take the drama out of something that should be as simple as that. a small craft series. it's worth seeing.Was this review helpful to you?

An Intimate movie
It is true that it is set in 2011 and in South Korea, but it is tiring and tiring that gay stories always end with a sad ending for the simple fact of being Gay. Even so, we must highlight the atmosphere, the complicity with the viewer, how well the actors act, but even so, as I said, it is a tragedy that reinforces the misfortune of the destiny of being Gay in society. Only if you want to suffer for this is it advisable to see it, although its performance certainly deserves applause and I atmosphere the performance, but it hurts too much and leaves unknowns to be resolved, such as how it is possible to hide a double life for five years. finally hard and sadWas this review helpful to you?

Love arises
It is a short story like a short story with a fresh relaxed visual development of natural colors and that presents us with the connection between two people who meet in a bar and previously on a dating application. Also we are in Korea where this is not very easy or naturally considered.The connection occurs and flows naturally and this is an important fact and a breath of fresh air from so much Drama of the LGTBI community.
That if it is a short story and as such there is this brief sketch with touches of nostalgia.

The first love
Right now we are watching Yin&War's Love Mechanic series and coming across this miniseries is like introducing ourselves to the characters as a teenager, with feelings so mixed up and difficult to clarify. the performance of both actors is excellent but as always War stands out with its unbeatable emotional expressiveness. In this case, it is a pleasure to see their friends as normal non-toxic people and without scenes of drunkenness justifying toxic approaches. The female character is well played but, as usual, she plays dirty and doesn't know how to “lose”. It's a shame to always give that image. The mother on this occasion is not the typical understanding one who accepts and supports them, but the manipulative and uncompromising and homophobic. Very real unfortunately. The music with the song played by War is beautiful and the nod to the old songs with the cassettes in the Sony walkman. a great series whose only drawback is the subtitles, which disappear in the conversation between the mother and the bride-to-be and are crucial. and another drawback is the ending that is not clear no matter how open it is left. Season 2 or a special chapter is needed and please with a happy ending without the tragedy of being gay condemned to abandonment that we are so tired of seeing and suffering. WAR and YIN are a great couple acting together. that alone is worth it.Was this review helpful to you?

sweet and romantic and aesthetic series
sweet series! I was expecting a much worse series due to the comments I read about the poor development of the plot and characters and the truth is that to do it in 8 chapters is very good. the protagonists are a beautiful couple with a very good chemistry that makes the romance believable. what to say about the kisses! one of the best of the BL with that touch of sweetness that we miss so much in so many series. the special chapter makes us see that the team is small and with their limited resources of scenarios and characters they have been able to take great care of the aesthetics that can be seen in lighting, camera shots, decoration, colors of the food dishes with their sensory compositions... and for that matter course the suits worn by the protagonists of impeccable and beautiful cut. I think it's like watching a tale and with a happy ending, so between so much excess and sometimes forced tension in some stories with this one we are left with a sweet taste in the mouth that ends up nourishing the music and the songs... a luxury that is Jeff Satur who performs Warm Heart as excellently as ever, reinforcing the production management team's commitment to quality and authenticity. a sweet beautiful this series.Was this review helpful to you?

Love in paradise
those of us who are fans of Boun have a hard time being objective in our assessments, go ahead. Since Until we meet again, seeing him on screen, even if it is a cameo as Cutie Pie, is a gift and the connection that he made with Prem Warut is more than a ship, it is from authentic colleagues. Boun Noppanut Guntachai as a singer is a great discovery. But the series well… I start from not understanding why it has been classified as Content Rating: 18+ Restricted when there is very little romance or affection expressed… or little violence other than boxing or debt collectors! the plot is unevenly armed, with characters who do not fully understand what moves them, not even how they connect with each other. The story has no value, not even pulling the topic of children who knew each other in childhood, which is not used. Adults are childish even though they play the role of lenders. What stands out absolutely is the beauty of the settings, of the island, of its nature and beaches with excellently raffled shots, blurring or focusing to better get into the environment. It's like a great advertisement for a tourist destination. Even the actors' clothing fits into that atmosphere of serenity and beauty. But it's a shame we didn't get more out of the Boun Prem connection ship. … Series to watch with a relaxed mind and dream of going to Thailand and living that placid life. To give an example that breaks this idyllic image, the scene of the monkey with the coconuts on the beach, when he is seen under the palm tree tied and led by a human. He breaks the heart. It was better not to have exposed it and to have left us with the dream that it was wildlife and not that tyranny towards the animal that follows with its head down. Let's stay with this island and how beautiful love is and the promise of finding it without looking for it as this series proposes. and running away from the noise and hustle and bustle of the city to find this paradise.Was this review helpful to you?
to enjoy the KD BL clichés
Watching this series is like reading a yaoi manhua but closer to bromance than BL. It is very visual and light, with magnificent actors. Fun because it also uses all the clichés and resources of Kdramas to generate chance encounters and fuel romance. The approach of the story is the typical one of two boys who meet by chance (neighbors) and how fate intervenes with those Kdrama and BL clichés to bring them closer in friendship and generating confusion in the people around them who see romance where they just friendship. Very good to spend a while and recreate ourselves in those common places of so many stories in a serious plan that we have seen and read. The music fits perfectly and underlines hilarious moments like the races in the rain or under the coat or the scene in the shower. The actors and actress who are great interpreters of great successes stand out. And the slow cameras, which allow us to see it coming and in slow motion. Screenwriter Choi Woo Joo builds the plot excellently. Really, the cast is luxurious, which can make us think that they recorded this series for pure enjoyment. just remember that Jang Ki Yong is the 999-year-old gumiho from the hit kdrama My Roommate Is a Gumiho; and Choi Woo Shik l Prince Yi Gak of the Joseon era in Rooftop Prince; to name two great series, it's like laughing at themselves with us. Funny and very nice to watch.Was this review helpful to you?
a story of love and hope
It is clear that this film is directed by someone with criteria regarding the development of the script, so much so that its director Jason Paul Laxamana is a writer and explains without a doubt how the comedy progresses from the lightest to the deepest connection with the characters. . It is a story with a lot behind it because it talks about respect, support, friendship, forgiveness, self-acceptance, defense of identity and consistency with the truth. Even of the different families that are created and that break the stereotype of the traditional family, here is the one woven in the network of support and affection. It also conveys a beautiful message of hope, that every day is an opportunity to do things better and make us happier. all this shot with clean shots, excellent leading actors and the leading actress too, especially when she lowers the tone of hilarity. Life expressed in a film that is not old or outdated and that can be seen with that desire to end with a happy ending full of hope.Was this review helpful to you?
Sad and sordid
Let's start from the fact that this is a very hard film with marginalized characters condemned to a sad and hopeless existence in which there is a past but also tragic love relationship between two men. Condemned to live without hope living poorly exploited labor and one of them sexually in order to protect the new partner from him another desperate man who clings to him eagerly. three men condemned to hell with a hard and realistic scenery of cold tones and scenes of dirty decoration. subtle music just to underline the harshness. It leaves you with enormous sorrow and sadness to see it, no matter how well narrated and acted it is. sad and sordidWas this review helpful to you?

Love and hope
the story is well constructed and well narrated through a magnificent performance by the two protagonists who with their day to day are introducing us to their love story and in detail they are exposing their life story, which explains the difficulty of fitting in a society so conservative that it rejects homosexuality and much more lesbian women.wanting to fit into those standards generates pain in the characters who do not stop loving each other. It is not the typical drama of lesbians doomed to fail because the story is built on the basis of wanting to bet on their real love story. and with it there is hope
