This Series: No Chemistry, Weak Plot, and WTF Was Mew Doing Here?”
Babes, I had HIGH expectations going into this one. The trailer? Looked like it was gonna serve everything—drama, romance, maybe a little spice. But what did we get? A lukewarm, no-sizzle snoozefest with vibes as dry as unbuttered toast. I wouldn’t say it’s awful—it’s fun if you lower your expectations into the basement—but the chemistry? Absolutely non-existent.

Let’s Talk About the Romance, or Lack Thereof
First of all, what is it with K-BL dramas having this “let’s play it safe” energy? Like, we get it, Korea’s new to the BL game, but babes, give us SOMETHING. A spark, a smoldering glance, a little tension—anything. Instead, we’re stuck with this dry-ass romance where the leads are just... there. Together. Talking. Holding hands like they’re doing a group project at school. Where’s the passion? Where’s the heart-fluttering moments? WHERE IS THE YEAR-ROUND CRAVING, GAY ANGST ENERGY?!
It’s giving “we’re doing this for the paycheck, not the vibes,” and honestly, I don’t blame them. Maybe it’s the writing. Maybe it’s the K-drama BL template. But either way? This romance could’ve been spicier.

Mew: The Only Reason I Didn’t Click Out
Okay, confession time—I wasn’t even a Mew fan before this. All the rumors? The hate? I was on the *“meh, who cares”* train. But Miss Gurl, let me tell you, Mew turned it OUT in this series. His acting? Immaculate. He carried this show on his back like a goddamn mule. The nuance, the depth, the ability to make you feel something even when the plot gives you nothing? Incredible.
Honestly, I don’t get why people hate him. Like, what did he do? Breathe? Exist? This man deserves all the flowers for this performance. I’ll admit it: I judged him too quickly before.

The Plot: Weak, But Not Awful
The plot itself? Kinda thin. It’s like they took a basic K-drama script, threw in some soft gay vibes, and called it a day. And you know what? It’s not the worst thing ever. The pacing was decent, and there were moments of genuine fun, but it lacked substance. Like, gimme some depth, some twists, some heart-stopping moments where I yell at my screen. Instead, it’s just vibes. Fine, but forgettable.

Final Thoughts: Fun-ish, but Don’t Expect Fireworks
Am I glad I watched this? Sure. Am I gonna rewatch it? Hell no. It’s not a bad series—it’s enjoyable if you go in with zero expectations. But the lack of chemistry? The weak-ass romance? That’s a crime.
Final rating? 6.5/10. Watch it for Mew’s acting and some mild entertainment, but if you’re looking for steamy chemistry and a groundbreaking plot? Babe, this ain’t it. Watch it and judge for yourself, though. Who knows, maybe it’ll hit different for you.
