Tropes: office romance, identity theft, cohabitation, messy gay

This is a complicated and engaging plot about professional ego, reputation, safety, and trust, but not much about romance. Or maybe it is but it’s a romance about an editor’s love for a writer’s work? Or for the writer himself? And is there a difference?

I think this would have worked better as a romance if the Writer had known the Editor in (at least) a friendly way in the past/at school as well - so there was more established dynamic to their instant affection and shacking up. Apart from my qualms around the romance thread, the plot is actually good. It’s very angsty and tense for something so simple, which suits this length of show.

As a BL it kinda isn’t (sorry to say) though, there’s no BL tropes dropped and no real romance beats. This is about dishonesty and pride and there is an elegance to the theme. Which is essentially the idea that possession is not love, and therefore, those who love the Writer have to prove their love by letting him go. Honestly, I’m not sure how to rate this show as a result. This is a blog about BL and this wasn’t that.

RECOMMENDED (but not if BL is what you’re after)

P.S. For a change I like the OST, Leo is one of my favorite main singers among the honey-voices of Kpop. Speaking of, Leo is stupid pretty here.

Sweet enough to make you smile, but not enough to make you satisfied

It's a good drama to watch without thinking too much, or get stressed. But definitely not one of my favorites.

The storyline is good, nothing too heavy. The couple was cute and funny to watch, definitely. Little bit enemies to lovers and I really like this kind thing.
BUT something is missing, we have a lot of scenes that is nothing just something with the OST and that makes me disappointed, I wanted to see more about the personality and motivation of the characters. Seems like just two people falling in love in the kitchen when we could get so much more.

And the OST it was not placed in an organic and comfortable way, juts makes some scenes look like a tv commercial.

Anyway, it's good to spend time.

Beautiful love story with a fascinating underlying storyline

This drama has everything. A beautiful love story, a great underlying plot, extremely smart and well written, so well that there is no unnecessary secondary plot, just one… the production and, ost are perfect too.
It is relatively short (36 ep of 40mn makes it 24 ep regular)…
You just need to go beyond the first 2 ep, set à the middle of the story, before going back to the past, for the main part of the drama. You just need to know that the ending is absolutely perfect…
And what a great cast…
As stated by others, the chemistry between the leads is over the top, with a lot of sweetness and cuddling, as expected from a loving couple, and as we seldom get to this level in any drama, whether Chinese or Korean.
The way their journey unfolds, how they meet and fall in love, gradually, feels just right. You understand what attracts them to each other, the unique bonding they develop over time. They are very supportive and bring the best out of each other, which I don’t recall having even seen in another drama. (

Big spoiler: Even their parting at some point can be understood. Having lost his sister, his only family left, bc of a mean rival, he knows that the revenge he wants to exact, not using his brain this time, could affect her, and that anyway her family will never accept him, so he forces her out of his life, trying to make her hate him… so that she can move forward… youth mistake, lack of foresight and understanding of what really matters in life, not applying his principles of self preservation….and the short solace brought by revenge and the heavy price to pay…
But the power of true love will bring redemption and second chances for the better…
Everything in this story makes sense.
And is extremely interesting….
This story is mesmerising, from beginning to end.

Now a bit more about our heroes:
The character of the male lead - awesome Arthur Chen Feiyu - makes perfect sense, brilliant, driven, charismatic, unforgiving for displays of stupidity and mean behaviors, abrasive in the way he may speak, hiding a pure heart behind protective fences… which the FL understands so well…
Demanding of others as he is for himself, totally justified by a gifted intelligence placing him above others, yet willing to share with his friends, provided they are not stupid enough not to assess themSelves correctly, blinded by weak egos…
Thé FL is bright and shining… what a perfect match
And what a journey… with a perfect ending.

ABSOLUTE DISASTER

Start-Up is one of the most horrific dramas that I unfortunately watched.
One might go by the catchy title and think this would be a good drama but it isn't.
They decided to touch the enshrined part: TECHNOLOGY
which by any means should've been researched about properly, but what we get is half-baked tech forcibly engaged in a terrible Melodrama exhausted by a woman's fantasy.
Everything that was done and each step taken was a huge JOKE in Tech counterpart.

YEP, THIS DRAMA IS A TYPICAL WOMAN'S FANTASY WRITTEN IN THE MOST HORRENDOUS WAY
2 GUY'S LOVING HER.
A FIRST LOVE.
HER BEING A TECH LEADER AND CEO.
WANTING TO SUCCEED
FAMILY SACRIFICE.
BLAH BLAH!
EVEN AFTER ALL THIS, SHE SUFFERS!
Oh Gosh !

Any CS person or even a sane person who knows a bit about technology will absolutely find this drama a complete disaster.

Plus, there was Zero chemistry.
The acting was a disaster.
BAE SUZY CAN'T EVEN ACT!
They messed up it to the whole by casting her.
This has to be the worst show produced by Netflix so far.

PS: This drama tried to be something like MISAENG but ended up being total BullSH*T !!

LOVE

It's kinda different for me at first but i watched it. I usually skip like 10 seconds for sometimes in a series and this is the 2nd series that i don't always do it. Love the story. Loving someone with full heart and never gave up is the best thing anyone could have. The FL and ML share a story and share love. I love their sweetness and love to watch them together. Love the innocence of the FL but I think and hope that some toughest should have been showed by the FL even at the end. But it's okay. sometimes, I wonder what happened to them. Well, creating their story in mind would be great!

Must Watch??? YES good series.. you won't regret it

Good Remake

I watch the series Kiss Me of the FL and ML. I think this is the 1st series they teamed up. I love to watch remakes, and I didn't watch the original Full House (Korean) instead I read the synopsis of it. I also watch the Chinese Version of Full House (Midsummer is full of love). I love the chinese version in a way that it is simple and kinda cute. I just don't like the singing part of the ML because I think it's lip sync but well portrayed. In this remake, i love the chemistry of the two, i just love the hair style of the FL. she is much cuter and the ML portrayed well. Love the fact that the ML at the end became sweeter. It's a good remake. I watch this series this past few days, and I noticed that, they gave a twist in their remakes which kinda different from the others, which is also good because they can make it a good ending after. They don't follow the original one, they change it especially in the mind part and didn't lose the real concept of it. TWIST.. loved it!

Must watch?? YES

Love scenes...

Personally im not that kind of a Person who cant watch bl... And i have already watched some but this drama is way different than the others...
I dont know why exactly but i just cant watch this one without skipping when it comes to the scene where the two of them are showing their love to each other... It makes me very uncomfortable...
I mean yes i admit im not into scenes like these but still i have finished many bl dramas without need of skipping...
The story itself is really interesting to watch and i would mostly recommend it to those who dont have same problem as me 😅

Im amazed by myseld that in every bl drama there has to be one that i prefer to the other one... And i often ask myseld how in the world the exactly two of them got together... I also noticed that usually in bl dramas there is one guy who is more sporty than the other one but still bothe of them do some kind of a sport... Thats one interesting i noticed while watching bl...

"I'll go to the end of the world just to see you smile"

The drama is beautiful and so is the relationship between the leads. This is one of the best chemistry that I've seen in Cdrama/ Kdrama. The leads chemistry just click together from the beginning. They bicker alot but you can feel the chemistry. When they are together, the chemistry just overflows. Some scenes even felt so natural that I got confused whether they are acting or is it real. The story is also good. Although they had to get separated for some time, they never forgot about each other. They were like a married couple. I'm a sucker for romance genres and this is hands down one the best chemistry between the leads so far.
The characters also did justice to their roles. I even cried at the end cause this drama is so special to me. I hope we get to see the leads acting on another drama again. don't hesitate to watch this drama. It contains romance and some revenge plot too. So leave your worries behind and enjoy this drama.
Also I have not been able to get into modern Cdramas lately, but this drama made me addicted. It's different from other dramas too. So please watch it.

An absolute consistent gut-wrenching series!

It's been a while since a series made me bawl my eyes and cry like a little baby. In each episode, I cried tears after tears (I did not even know I could cry that much). Each story was beautifully written and told that I find myself easily lost in the series. As a person who was also in a dark place, this series was like a big warm hug to me. I was comforted and consoled by the characters. It even felt like they were talking to me directly. There was no dull moment in this series and despite its heavy themes, the production really outdid themselves to make it 'light' yet serious at the same time. Not once did they make fun of the situation and made it feel like such a small issue, and I respect them for that.

Each major plot was neatly wrapped up and the series remained consistent all throughout its run. The ending did not feel rushed nor cheap, in fact, it even felt earned and leaves you satisfied. Just want to commend all of the actors and actresses who participated in this series. They gave the series the justice that it deserves! Everyone acted so brilliantly that having empathy with the characters that they play is not an issue.

From start to finish, this series has remained consistently good and I really want to praise them for it.

EP36th is highlight in this drama

The scene where YANG HUA tells QIN SHI to divorce was a highlight.
Both ML and FL were so convincing in their acting that I could not stop staring at the screen!
XU KAI was not just a popular idol actor, but also showed solid acting skills, and YANG MI, as usual, was mesmerizing with her stable acting skills.
Li Ze Feng and the other supporting actors are also very talented and add depth to the story.
From first to 36th episodes were great, but the last episode was a disappointment, even though it had a happy ending, , because the last episode was ｆorced conclusion to various contents.
