Chaotic chemistry, laugh-out-loud comedy, and a fast paced enemies-to-lovers start. m over the moon!

Extremely engaging and humorous storyline along with romance .
I could already tell from the trailer that the chaos it is going to cause it beyond imagination .
Just amazing , it's already the most chaotic series of the year , the first few minutes totally shocked me I was like “ Huh ! What kind of work is that ? ” then later got that it was just a rescue mission . Lol
That part was beyond expectation “ he's totally my type ”
The luggage mix up between Mr. Boiling Tofu sand Stray dog scammer , if it's not fate then what huh .
And that B2B massage ( Body 2 body ) extra premium , so that's how he wanted to pay of his debt uhmmm .
Total opposites dynamic, the high-energy bickering between the leads makes it even more engaging .
Btw the ending hug was too personal “ Be careful ”
Kanit go easy on toto khab .

The enemies -to-lovers trope makes it even more compelling .
I'm not sure if I can express myself , but I can make sure that if you get on then you're not coming off soon . I'm bursting with anticipation!
Taynew I missed them , I have been waiting from a very long time , I gottt whatever I was expecting I'm so delighted .
Fridays are actually auspicious .
The first episode actually met a high praise for its comedic, chaotic, and mature approach to romance , gotta say <3
I'm calling it one of the biggest, most-anticipated comebacks of the year for sure .
I'm already so pumped for the new episodes , the first one clearly passes my standards . So , I'm moving forward , I'm counting down days , I'm thrilled to see what happens next!
The drama is too chaotic, and this investigation is a mess! I wanted Lion to cheat on Mr. Tofu so badly—I ship my boys way too much. But honestly? Thank God Lion skipped that dinner; Toto’s efforts didn't go to waste after all!
The note “ I will prove that last 10% to you ” was hilarious...

Toto uncovers the truth about Kanit’s pilot boyfriend, Lion. However, Lion catches onto Toto and successfully bribes him to keep his cheating a secret from Kanit.
And this guy is sus, I don't think he'll end everything in a week at all
Toto finally admitted that Lion was cheating on Kanitt. I can't believe a whole week already passed since the deal.
Now it's time for my boys to finally take the spotlight. Right? ^^

Oh my god, I can't believe the flight attendant and Kanit were talking about Me & Thee, Khun Thee, and Nong Lookpeach! I miss them so much. It was amazing to hear Kanit describe Khun Thee's personality as so pure and devoted. I absolutely loved every second of that conversation!

A lot of people may not like it cuz it's comedy and chaotic with a lot of cheesy pickup lines but honestly I'm enjoying it so far.
Toto needs to chase after Kanit because they are perfect together! That chaotic restaurant proposal was the cutest thing ever. Kanit pretends to be hard, but he is pure mush inside.
I am completely obsessed with MondRyu's chemistry as a future couple, The tension between them is incredible; they’ve quickly become my favorites. I typically fast-forward through the secondary couple, but their chemistry is too good to skip.

It's so humorous I can't stop laughing, I was not so interested in specific comedy genre butt now I love itt. Dudeee at some partsss I don't really understand whyy but laugh hilariously talking to myself...

They look so good together righttt, I'm so obsessed with the second couple too
I love their dynamics..

Howw can you ask someone to literally sleep with you, Kanit doesn't know, how many butterflies Toto got at that very moment...
Shiaaa thatttt was so intense I didn't expect that, their kiss scenes improved a lot honestly...

Duang with Me <3

Duang é talvez O MELHOR BL que eu assisti esse ano até o momento e se tornou o meu bl comfort sem dúvida. A história acompanha Duang, um estudante de artes decorativas alegre e determinado, que se apaixona à primeira vista por Qinn, um talentoso estudante de música conhecido por sua personalidade fria e reservada. Quando a gente assiste meio que já sabemos tudo o que vai ocorrer (um deles se apaixona, um deles vai tentar conquistar o outro, o outro vai se apaixonar, o ex de alguém aparece para estremecer a relação, eles superam os mal entendidos e no fim ficam juntos) o que surpreende é a forma como cada BL conta e esse daqui me surpreendeu muito pois o Duang é um personagem inesquecível, carismático pra caramba, não tem como não sorrir cada vez que ele aparece, ele é muito querido e isso dá o tom do BL, a forma como a aproximação dele e do Quinn ocorre até de fato começarem a namorar e toda a mudança e despertar que esse jeito do Duang causa no Quinn é incrível. Para o que se propõe esse bl é a melhor coisa que eu pude assistir, as músicas são incríveis, é bom ver artistas do t-pop colaborando com a trilha do bl e até mesmo atuando na produção, tem casal secundário mas não acompanhamos tão de perto assim, mas é um casal que tem uma química boa sendo construída.

A pure and moving love story with touches of comedy and healing.

If you don't have time to read the whole thing, skip to the end where the conclusions are :)

Sold Out On You introduces us to two people who dedicate themselves entirely to their work each day, yet feel a profound emptiness in their hearts. Dam Ye-jin is a home shopping star who has amassed sales worth one billion won. With this track record, she aspires to a promotion that will grant her access to the coveted weekend slot on the channel where she works, but to achieve this, she must convince the owner of a beauty products company to renew her contract. So, she embarks on a quest to find a mushroom, prized for its cosmetic properties, that is only cultivated in the village of Deokpung. There, she meets Matthew Lee, an enigmatic farmer who juggles several jobs but initially refuses to collaborate with her. However, their paths continually cross in a series of encounters day and night, prompted by her insomnia, and gradually, each begins to understand the other's motivations. Over time, these coincidences transform into a deep emotional connection, demonstrating that differences in lifestyles can be the beginning of a meaningful relationship.

The drama uses fresh settings like the town of Deokpung, similar to Hometown Cha Cha Cha and Brewing Love. It has a good premise and makes good use of comedy, but sometimes it fell into ridiculous situations, and the protagonist had a bad attitude in the first few episodes, though this changed as the series progressed. The show uses multiple storylines that deal with family, your relationship with your parents, a mother's pain, friendship, and strong bonds, all of which were very well developed. I must highlight that the reference to Business Proposal and the background music of Love Maybe were the best parts; I hope this is a sign of a second season. The series also knows how to balance comedy and emotional tension, which developed well, maintaining a good equilibrium. Another aspect I appreciate is the focus on live broadcasts and the presenter's career, which I find very interesting. Overall, I give the story a 9/10 because it kept me hooked and engaged.

The series uses many characters, which is common in a drama set in a small town. The characters were well-developed, the main couple had great chemistry, and their romance scenes were also very good.

Here is my analysis of the main characters:

Matthew Lee (Ahn Hyo-seop): CEO of Gojeuneok Bio, a natural raw materials company, and a cosmetics researcher known for his technical expertise. He lives under the alias Matthew Lee to distance himself from his past and manages a mushroom farm in a rural area. He is the sole producer of the white-flowered uri mushroom, which is considered an ingredient with almost miraculous properties in the industry. Despite his attempts to stay out of the spotlight, he's an active member of the local community—too much so for his liking, as everyone calls on him for help with anything and everything.

This is my second time watching an Ahn Hyo-syop drama, and I must say I connected with his character. I understood everything he went through and the guilt he felt. I liked that he was a sincere person who enjoyed helping everyone, and when it was his turn to take the blame, he did so to avoid harming others.

Dam Ye-jin (Chae Won-bin): Star presenter of a show on Hit Homeshopping. After a controversial debut five years prior, she relieves work-related stress through her job. She lives on caffeinated beverages and, naturally, suffers from insomnia.

This is my first time watching a drama with Chae Won-bin, and I must say her acting is good. Although in the first few episodes, the protagonist seemed very conceited and looked down on everyone in town, this changed as the episodes progressed, revealing her kinder side. She was a perfect fit as a presenter, and her smile is lovely. Something I didn't understand was what her father did wrong and why she had to take it out on him when he hadn't done anything wrong. He only hid the truth about her mother because he didn't want to hurt her, which is what any father would do for his daughter's happiness.

Seo Eric (Kim Bom): CEO of L'Étoile, a global skincare brand, and heir to the Desruets family. After years of traveling to avoid family succession conflicts, he assumes a leadership role in the company.

I found her character somewhat unnecessary since he didn't contribute anything to the plot, in my opinion.

Something I definitely liked about this drama was the village grandmother. I cried when I found out about her son, and the way she took Matthew in and defended him when everyone blamed him was touching. The other couples were also fun. Overall, I give the acting a 9/10; it was good.


The music was good; some of my favorite songs were First Snow, That Day (my favorite), Island, I Love You, I Love You Too, and Love is Enough. So I give it a 9/10.


Would I watch it again? Probably, but not for now, it's a very good romantic comedy to pass the time, so I'll give it a 9/10.

In short, Sold Out On You is a romantic comedy with healing touches set in a small town, perfect for passing the time. If you liked dramas like Hometown Cha Cha Cha or Brewing Love, with a fresh atmosphere and scenery, endearing characters, and ideal music, overall I give it a 9/10. It was good.

Se eles tivessem tempo, poderia ter sido bom.

O grande prejudicial desse BL é a falta de tempo em seus 6 episódios de 10 minutos, ás vezes menos. Não acho o plot uma coisa diferentona, a gente sabe o que vai acontecer e como, mas se eles tivessem tempo eles poderiam ter desenvolvido essa história e a relação dos protagonista, que são de fato o motivo para eu não deixar uma nota baixa pra esse BL. Os dois protagonista são ex participantes do His Man 2, ou seja, são gays assumidos nesses papéis, protagonizando cena de beijo, o que para mim já valeu e muito, pois se eles tivessem tempo eles poderiam ter entregado bastante e é isso. Não é algo que recomendo, não diria tempo perdido pois leva uns 50 minutos para terminar esse bl mas o romance fica com aquém aqui.

Deserves all the recognition and praise

I have been watching dramas for over a decade and have always had a special spot for the BL genre. Some of my all-time favorite dramas have come from Chinese creators and writers. THIS is amazing. I had not heard of it, and I clicked on it when I saw it listed as a new drama on Gagoolala. It is amazing, and I am totally hooked. I definitely think it will be a part of my favorite dramas. Also, the actors are so sincere and absolutely stunning, plus the scenes and costumes are incredible. I am not the most eloquent writer, but I think the actors and the drama itself deserve all the recognition and praise!

Great Start, Disappointing last 2 eps

This bl series looked really promising. The first 4 episodes were well done, and I genuinely enjoyed them. But then the last two episodes disappointed me. I kept wondering, why did the story take that direction?

*Spoiler alert*
First, I didn't expect the kiss scenes to be hidden etc . Why? Were the actors uncomfortable with filming proper kiss scenes? It was so obvious that it ended up drawing even more attention to it. It felt awkward and took me out of the story.

The plot also started to feel strange after the sexual harassment accusation was introduced (that was so unnecessary). From that point on, I didn't like how the story was handled. The relationship between the two male leads felt rushed, and some scenes were just cringe like them running hand in hand while fans chased after them. The fairytale ending felt forced
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy happy endings and that what i would like to see, the issue is how it was done. So I have mixed feelings about the series.

Bias is forming...........

What kind of a bias? Something that's been plaguing Kdramas for a loooooong time and definitely a major weakness. I'm talking about the villains. Most specifically, the reasons WHY they become villains and/or WHY they target ppl and affiliations. Because it makes for the weakest and lamest traumas that either they or other characters are afflicted with~
300 yrs ago your great great great second cousins aunt gave the dog a chicken leg today was supposed to go to my great great great grandpa's nephews cat which is why I cursed them to be allergic to chicken until my wrath is spent, lol, ridiculous shite like that is ruining dramas~
It didn't help that FL felt responsible for something asinine w/o any real reason too and allowed it to destroy and shape her entire life. Didn't help that her own fam mistreated her because of incidents behind her control. A step sister raising hell and causing untold pain to a step sibling who loved her because of a self inflicted inferioty complex. Another side story following the same pattern. Ugh. Here we have the ML of a company whose friend and business partner felt hurt over another partner and company head that thought he'd make a better business leader, so butthurt guy sabotaged and destroyed the company causing the head to suicide and the ML to take the blame which led to a fallout tricking down to the FLs story and her trauma~
Lame bs all around, we see idiotic things making villains and it's really not hard to find things much more worthy than this. But like I said, this plagues Kdramas in the worst way. It shuts me down which is why I said bias. We saw a few scenes of amusement but it didn't shake the rinse and repeat horrible back stories that are being used to shape dramas. Check it out if you want. I say pass~

BL romantic comedy should be when it’s done right

A Dog and a Plane just dropped its first episode yesterday, and it already feels like something special. TAY and NEW’s acting is phenomenal—so mature, natural, and expertly delivered. You can really feel how experienced they are in every scene.

The pilot episode is genuinely funny and very enjoyable to watch, but what stands out the most is their performance. Their expressions—especially the eyes, lips, and even the way they deliver their lines—are incredibly articulate and controlled. The entire cast is also a joy to watch, adding to the light, engaging energy of the show.

This feels like what a BL romantic comedy should be when it’s done right—not the usual long stretch of overly cute school flirting that drags across episodes. Instead, it’s refreshing, well-paced, and actually feels like a proper story with real chemistry and structure.

The production quality is outstanding, and honestly, it leaves you wanting more right away. I wish I could binge all the remaining episodes now because I’m fully hooked already.

Quando o simples é bem feito!

Quando o simples é bem feito! Essa foi, sem dúvidas, a vibe que O Valor Absoluto do Amor me transmitiu. Apesar de não ser um K-drama grandioso — se comparado a produções de enorme orçamento ou de grande apelo comercial —, é uma obra que faz cada minuto investido valer a pena.

Antes da estreia, o título parecia questionável e de "procedência duvidosa" para a maioria das pessoas — inclusive para mim. No entanto, fomos surpreendidos: a trama conquistou os corações dos internautas de uma forma absurda. Confesso que me peguei pensando: "Não imaginava que o pessoal fosse gostar tanto desse K-drama!"

Primeiramente, vale o esclarecimento: ele NÃO é um BL (Boys Love). Infelizmente, algumas pessoas deixaram de assistir só porque a premissa envolvia elementos desse universo. Contudo, as referências não são o foco central da história, mas sim um bônus que deixa tudo muito mais divertido.
Foi uma jogada genial misturar essa temática à narrativa. A protagonista tem uma conexão enorme — para não dizer uma verdadeira paixão — com o mundo dos BLs, e usar isso como a base inicial da trama foi sensacional. Mesmo sem focar em romance explícito, a química e a entrega dos atores foram tão detalhistas que conseguiram transmitir tudo através de toques e olhares, dando um gostinho bom demais à história. Para quem faz parte ou conhece o "mundo dos BLzeiros", a representação foi divertidíssima!

[CUIDADO COM A SPOILER AQUI] No geral, eu gostei genuinamente do drama, mesmo com a ausência de um romance tradicional. Para mim, o casal principal nunca demonstrou um interesse amoroso mútuo, e o roteiro seguiu firme nisso.
E vamos ser sinceros: nem todo drama precisa de um par romântico. Parece que ficamos tão condicionados a essa "necessidade" que, quando uma produção foge do óbvio, o público se frustra. Aqui, a escolha funcionou perfeitamente. O final não foi ruim; pelo contrário, entregou um fechamento redondo e satisfatório.

O Valor Absoluto do Amor foi uma das grandes surpresas deste ano de 2026. Ele pode não ser o drama mais marcante da sua vida, mas entrega uma experiência leve, divertida, fofa e, às vezes, deliciosamente exagerada. Talvez não agrade a todos, mas vale muito a pena dar uma chance. Quem sabe ele não conquista você assim como me conquistou?

It's one of those shows where you can predict 90% of what's going to happen after a couple of episodes.
The villains and twists related to them are forced and do not connect too well with the rest of the "story".
What is even more forced and cheesy in the worst way is the finale, where everyone gets what they deserve and everything is a bed of roses.

Every couple is obvious from the first glance and their every interaction when they are seemingly beating around the bush is only making it more awkward and frustrating to watch.
Sure, the visuals of the main couple are stunning and their chemistry is quite decent, but we don't get to enjoy too much of these good scenes with only them, and honestly any amount of that would not be enough to save this show.

Comedy ranges from really weak to screaming in laughter funny. The latter could be a lifeboat here, if only it wasn't so scarce to make space for more pointless attempts at drama.

Not recommended for anyone, since there are thousands of similar shows which are much better written and could actually surprise you or evoke emotions, unlike this one, which is at best just mildly sweet and decently funny with nothing else to offer.

—tight, cinematic, and clearly crafted with care

I’m currently on episode 4 of WU, and I already think it’s one of the strongest series I’ve watched this year. It easily competes with shows like Khemjira in terms of quality and impact, even this early in the run.

The performances from Sky and Nani are superb—both bring a lot of depth and nuance to their characters, making every scene feel grounded and emotionally charged. Even though this isn’t a BL series, there’s definitely a subtle “BL scent” in their bromance that adds an extra layer of tension and chemistry without taking away from the main narrative.

What really stands out is how well-prepared and intentional the storytelling feels. Even as an ongoing series, the execution is already impressive—tight, cinematic, and clearly crafted with care. The emotional tone hits hard, giving it that high-budget, premium production feel.

So far, it’s gripping, well-acted, and genuinely addictive. I’m definitely locked in for the rest of the episodes.

We are all trying here especially when trying to write a half decent review

Okay I don't usually write reviews of dramas or movies I've watched because I suck at it like really bad. However this was a drama that I i just had to express my love for so here we go.

The story was something that personally i had never seen before. In all my life that i have watched hundreds and hundreds of dramas, shows and movies I have never really given a thought for the directors, writers and crew. When watching this drama it felt as if a door cracked open and there was this whole new world in another perspective. The story felt real and painful. It felt as if it was actually happening and it seemed like it wasn't fiction. The whole time I was watching the show I felt this thrill and excitement which was unusual because this wasn't a thriller. I was waiting for what could happen next?

But even though I was invested in the story and the characters I cant say it didn't feel jarring at some points. Some moments felt a little too long. To watch this guy just write nothing but even then i stayed and watched. I watched and remembered the feeling of being trapped because you are not brave enough to write what you want. The agony of being scared of hurting others with your writing or so atleast i read it. Even in the jarring moments i thought and wondered. It felt fresh to always see something in the smallest scenes that usually mean nothing to me.

If we talk about meaning nothing, we need to talk about the characters in a deeper level. Every character in the drama felt real. They felt like they were there and they were living. It felt real. I couldn't bring myself to hate anyone in this drama because everyone was so real. I could see what was going on. I couldn't see it from their words that said it straight but the mannerism, their lifes and their actions. As if they were actually living and breathing.

The love and romance need to be mentioned too. This drama showed love and relationship in such a raw and real way. The romance was suddle and secret it didn't yell and it didn't scream that "hey im here im here" but it was secret and quiet about it even in the moments that it wasn't.
The relationships in another hand were all beautiful in their own way. It showed the hardships of loving someone and the beauty too.

Though after all this the drama wasn't perfect. Nothing is perfect. The drama had it's problems here and there like the ending that kinda felt perfect but still as if something was rushed. It had scenes that got you thinking whatt. But like i said nothing is perfect.

Now I know that this review isnt the best like i said I suck at this but overall this drama opens your eyes and makes you realize how important the small wins are. It makes you realize that you are not the only one trying and that even in the hardest times you can find a reason to continue. And now to end this yapping seasson please no one attack me I wrote this review on my own interpretation.

Silly

After watching Zhou Yu Tong in Will Love in Spring and loving her performance there, I decided to watch this next. Her role here is a bit similar in that she's an aggressive independent woman in both dramas. But, I didn't like her character here at all. She's arrogant, silly, and not as smart as she thinks she is. As for Simon Gong, I've watched him in a lot of other dramas and have noticed he has a little bit of a feminine side, which became a lot more pronounced here. I don't know if that is what the directors wanted as a male lead or it' s just him. He talks like a woman here, which is a bit of a turnoff. So the female lead acts more like a man and the male lead acts more like a woman. Plus, the annoying spoiled second female lead is here. I read other negative reviews about how terrible the plot is and decided not to waste my time watching it.
