GO WATCH IT!

I love how it feels like a childish romance comic book but it’s self aware. I love Dano and her comedy so much and her condition adds a layer of depth to her. So much mystery and the reveals are really really good, the show takes time with them. I love that in the next scene everything goes back to normal and characters forget things, it’s a nice premise that she’s aware. I also really love the other aware characters (not going more into it). Also goes into mature storylines like abuse (not going more into it) and of course romance. My only issue is characters becoming unaware again, that’s where the show lost me a bit in Episodes 7-10 and at the end but otherwise it was perfect.

Definition of a Japanese BL

I love misunderstandings, I love faking a relationship, I love characters that are hiding something and the premise is actually pretty good with him being unlucky and the love interest being lucky. It’s silly and crazy enough to work perfectly with a style I enjoy and find funny.

Although, it’s quite derivative at some points, like heartbeat, they like the same manga and slow mo runs I’ve all seen before, these cliches are tired… enough. The title has kiss so you’d think they’d kiss more than once… well no…. it’s also short which just makes me want more (bls rarely get season 2s).

What is this?

Jeongu comes back from working and sees two handsome strangers bothering him. They claim to be Choco and Milk, his dog and cat. Let me say that again his DOG and CAT and this is a bl….

The worst part is that they act like pets and they use flashbacks to remind you every 2 seconds. Even if you look past that the emotional moments feel forced with no build up or reasoning. It doesn’t feel earned and it’s so disappointing. My first sad ending… and who cares they could’ve all lived happier but the writers just wanted it to have a sad ending.

People said they cried to this… I feel like I’m loosing my mind! They’re animals. And there’s a sex scene….. Is there really anything else to say?

My first and probably fav bl

Adachi is a 30 year old virgin can read minds and finds out one of his coworkers is into him, and he’s a man. It’s so interesting with the mind reading and a good romance and story. Some might find the style of comedy cringy or over exaggerated but I simply love it but it was jarring at first.

The characters are amazing with Fujisaki (my goat), Kurosawa is a freak and jealous king and Adachi my little scaredy cat, Rokkaku my hyperactive annoying in a good way son. We also have aroace representation/a coded character and I’m really glad that they exist (not telling you who for plot purposes).

There’s issues with it, the main couple doesn’t kiss and the second couple is so awful and doesn’t even need to be in the show I can’t stand them mostly because they never actually seem in love and have an age gap that makes them incompatible in my opinion.

I have a lot to say

I recommend it because it’s not just a 1 to 1 remake and is its own thing. So compared to the Japanese version these episodes are longer. The extended runtime allows them to flesh out the story and relationships (like a proper introduction to Rock and Rock and Min’s relationship), adds new characters (Dujao as their boss and comedic relief) and keeps more moments from the Manga (which is also quite different from both versions). It also drastically improves the second couple so much that I actually liked them in this version and the main couple is able to kiss in this version.

My issue is that it also strays too far and removes the elements I really liked like the aroace representation for an underbaked straight romance and less strong or more generic personalities from the characters (Pai, Karan, Achi and Rock especially). Even though I still love these characters, especially Pai. I also feel like the actor for Achi calling himself plumb as tofu while being visibly muscular is so funny.
Yes I’ve rewatched it multiple times now, I love this adaptation.

Very nice for a Chinese drama so it surprised me short and sweet

It was very cute I just wish we got to see the couples together longer. I know it was a pretty short drama but some parts felt slightly rushed and slightly incomplete. I know it’s a drama and a slow burn but the really good thing about slow burns is being able to see the burn complete and finished but after the slow burn ended the show just ended so it felt like we didn’t really get to reap the reward of the slow burn. Also there was a lot of drama which again I know it’s a drama there is gonna be drama but sometimes the drama felt like it was just there to create problems and fill time instead of moving the story along and developing their relationship. Other than that I thought it was pretty cool. I loved seeing both couples cuteness and rawness of emotions. The characters, at least the main 4, were very dynamic which was cool. They were imperfect and not one dimensional. Very beautiful story 10/10 would recommend!

shades of twilight that gets one thing right...soft tension

I have been watching some slice of life low tension as comfort food and this felt right where the episodes gave a romantic win almost each episode...the old style romantic has chases and extra drama but it's nice to have a couple where the stuff happens is just stuff that happens and we are doing the love thing.

Yes, I see the Twilight clone but the chemistry of the two leads make it their own. The story is a little bit messy and the acting is a little over the top leaning into camp...but somehow the director keeps all the mess in watchable binge worthy blood fest....worth a look see. If you google soft tension you will see that if you strip the noise its about the small moments of attempts at love that matter...and that's the star of the show.

I finally finished it

To be honest, it took me a year to finish this show because I had thought it would be a promising GL, which was my fault for not looking into it beforehand. However, now that I have finished watching it, I can assert that the plot is a bit far-fetched. Besides that, I enjoyed the show overall: incredible cast, astounding production and music. I will definitely be watching the second season once it comes out.

Even though this show was never promoted as a GL, it is impossible to me -and to most people I believe- not to see Seulgi and Jeyi as more than friends. Hopefully, now that GL's have gained more popularity in the Asian market, the production team will turn the girls' "friendship" into something more.
