CUTEST CUTIES TO EVER CUTIE!!!

Boys be brave.. You did it. MY CUTIES!!! I can't lie when I say they are SOOO cute and I can't believe its already ending. Everything was great from the acting to the music in some scenes. I wish it was longer, but it was great while it lasted!!

STORY:

Jung Ki Sub is Kim Jin Woos friend, if you can even call him that. His acquaintance at best. When Jung Ki Sub asks to stay at his place, and having no choice but to accept, how will Jin Woo be able to keep it all in when Ki Sub is his secret crush?

THOUGHTS:

Lets cut to it. As much as I'd LOOOOVEE to give this a 10/10, I just can't. Somethings.. Missing. First off, the second couple. I felt like the 2nd couples screen time was rushed. They gave JUST ENOUGH for me to understand what was going on. As much as I enjoy both of their visuals, if you're going to not give at least close to an equal amount of screen time, why include them? It felt like they had less screen time than a cameo in a drama. Secondly, the female character. I'm not saying that I hate her. Personally, she is such a cutie and I would have loved to seen more of her and I can understand her doing what she did, but its just the way she felt the need to be so upset with Ki Sub and even trying to ruin him and Jin Woos relationship. It might be reasonable, it might not be, but to me its kind of.. Crazy? I mean yeah, I may do something crazy to protect my friends, but if its in the past then it's in the past.

ANYWAYS. Now that we've gotten the bad out of the way, lets cut to the good!


Almost every scene between the two brought a smile to my face, the twos chemistry is BREWING!!! Everything from the staring into the eyes to even just giving him a keychain made me giggle. The communication? Lacking? NO! Although Jin Woo usually kept to himself, there was still such a bond between the two that made it a great dynamic. Speaking of the dynamic.. Jin Woo being like a black cat and Ki Sub a golden retriever?? AHHH!!! I might just pass out from cuteness!! Their pairing altogether is just GOLD. The warmth they could feel within each other?? The way Ki Subs heart monitor would increase because of Jin Woo?? MY CUTIES!!!

In all, I love this SOOO MUCH. And other than the things I've mentioned, this drama was so cutie and I'd put my life on the line for Jin Woo and his cute expressions?

I don't understand the fuss about this show .. it was boring

After reading a lot of comments and reviews I started watching the show ... But I don't think it is worth the hype ... Richard was the only good thing about this show ..story sucked . . FL character sucked ..her acting sucked ... Momentum of the plot sucked ... It was surely not my cup of tea ... The worst thing was the dimwit FL even if I ignore the cringe dialogue still overall character was pathetic .. she is sort of an undercover agent yet she has no sense of entering a place stealthily... She just walks like a stupid person right in the middle of hall ... Worst undercover agent in history ... Please stop writing such retard female lead characters ...women can play better undercover agents why tf do these writers turn them so cliche and cringe ... Pfft!!!

Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda as Taylor Swift says

This show was a great promise from the trailers on Netflix. I loved how they tried to showcase that sometimes happy endings aren't the marriage itself. I laughed out loud with the first episodes, Kim Soo Hyun is an amazing actor, and if they had led him interpret the character as he did with the improvised scenes he pulled off, the character would have made so much sense.

I loved it at the first episodes because it brought the sitcom factor into a kdrama that is not often seen in romantic genres. I would have enjoyed it so much if they left it that way and didn't start all the unnecessary drama plot lines that threw off attention from the actual problem, the marriage between the leads.

Started it for the comedy but finished it because of the crush I have on Kim Soo Hyun, take it or leave it.

A lost plot-painful to watch

This show was just wow i was flabbergasted by the levels of absurdity that they were willing to go. Two worlds was a great premise to potentially riveting show however somehow it all went to Potts!! All the right ingredient were there but poor port execution, direction, screen writing and acting .

From poor acting from or sexy leads to stories that didn’t make sense- diseases that can be managed by poop berries, snake bites from nowhere, loose ends and I DONT KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN WITH HOW BAD THIS SHOW IS.

I had high hopes for MAX AND NAT i have been a fan since they started but this show takes the cake. THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING better. Nat can cry and thats pretty much it.

MAX appears to be one dimensional he is the same guy in naughty babe, cutie pie and now this show. I RECOMMEND THAT YOU watch because it will either make you laugh with how ridiculous it is or cry

SURREAL DE BOM!! Fico até sem palavras pra falar desse dorama, terminei hoje e entrou pra lista dos favoritos e com razão, a história do dorama é incrível e se tem uma coisa que eu gosto em qualquer drama é o desenvolvimento tanto da história quanto dos personagens e foi uma das coisas que eu mais vi em qot, a química do casal principal é surreal. Os atores entregaram tudo de si nos personagens e a gente se cativa tanto assistindo que parece que estamos lá vivendo as situações, o final me surpreendeu muito de forma positiva e simplesmente amei as referências que tiverem de outros doramas

ML is good but can't be compared with Legend like Jim Carry

concept of drama come from Jim carry's movie
and ML was doing really good with his acting and still doing Great
thus i give story less and acting More points
concept of ML character is inspire from Hollywood movie Lier Lier (1997)
but it doesn't have any story after 2 episodes or they don't wanted to write one themselves
so they practical copy script from Love is for suckers {{ Choi Si Won and Lee da hee }}
FL casted her friend on a dating show then she herself got involved with him, to add some spice they have SML and
a first Love common between whole universe( she is first love of everyone) don't had budget to cast other first loves for side character so they have to share first love
ML is acting Good and his character is weird but its weird not hot, I don't understand this Females in drama who cling on to someone who doesn't give a fish about them,
SML dude move on, you are far better off,,, Find your SUNSHINE CHOI SU YEON in this drama
Story doesn't have that which make you wait for next Episode,
its 4th episode and Love triangle is already cleared up, ML and FL
only love triangle i apricated in dramas was
EMPRESS KI, Goryeo king vs Yuan Emperor

A must watch

Definitely one not to miss - both the leads and support cast - top notch performances. The plot was refreshing and although I love happy endings, this I didn’t mind the not so happy ending here because of the pleasure of the entire drama - no fast forwarding, or “half watching “ sections. I am really fussy about actors - their acting skills are a priority, good looks simply not enough. ML is now one of my favourites - he’s not only superb as an actor, but also quite handsome which is a bonus. FL was outstanding, I want to see more of her works now. The storyline is refreshing, not following the “safe plot lines” , and keeps a good pace. I me of the best dramas of 2023.

It was ok, but could have been better

I placed a spoiler at the end of this review.

This was not a bad series, but had an odd mix of moments that ranged from cute to cringe. The script just needed a little more tweaking to help make it better. It did a good job introducing the characters, but not the setup of events and the main storyline. There were also aspects of the script that didn’t make sense. It introduced some key things too late that would have helped the likability level of the main couple storyline. Because of this, the character Jung Ki Sub comes across as a very unlikable person in the first few episodes. However, their storyline became better overtime. I continued watching this series due to the second couple storyline. For me, their storyline was better developed script wise with one exception. I just wish they had more screen time. The actors did a very good job with their characters considering the script was lacking in some areas.

Random Notes:

They could have tone down Kang Hye Jin’s character a bit. They gave good reasoning behind her actions, but went a little over the top with them.

I immediately developed second couple syndrome with this series. I just found their story more interesting.

This is one of those series you can wait to watch until you have some time to kill and have nothing better on your must watch list.




******Spoiler Alert******

The second couple received an unresolved ending which was annoying. However, they can make this up to me by doing a second season focusing on them. If this does happen, it better have a decent script.

I might have found a new favorite

So, as one might expect, my reviews tend to be extremely subjective. I've noticed that some things that irk me in one series, I don't mind so much in another -and the other way around. Therefore, even though I've read other reviews with some complaints, I just dfc.
I loved this.
There's very few series that get a physical reaction out of me (as in, laughing, getting flustered, etc etc), but this one did it. I had so much fun watching this.

(the very long list of) what I liked:

- Main couple. Shut the hell up with the "They're annoying", "They're silly", yeah they are but who cares? Their dynamic is just so cute. And their storyline isn't that common, either - how many couples start off with one of them already knowing the other likes them? I found that so interesting. And, as I've said, the "I'll sweep you off your feet" premise is very promising, if done in a respectful manner (obviously). I think Gi Seop did that quite well (the tattoo was unhinged though lmao). Gi Seop is a goofball all around, completely clueless, people pleaser to the point of it actually coming back to bite him in the ass, and Jinwoo is methodical, withdrawn, and reserved. I just love this dynamic, and the character evolution it allows (Gi Seop learning to say no and find what motivates him, and Jinwoo becoming more relaxed and open).
- The music is great, honestly. The emotional scenes were often highlighted by the tracks playing in the background, and it really enhanced the feeling they were trying to convey.
- It's just funny! I'm so annoyed at silly characters in other series but idk what's with this one that really got me. Maybe I do like slapstick comedy after all (now that I think about it, I love the Marx brothers and the Blues Brothers and those are both quite slapstick-y lmao), in this case I didn't mind it at all.
- I liked the girl and Jinwoo's friendship a lot :) I'm all for that kind of pairing (kind of like Hashimoto and Aoki from My Love Mix-Up), and I also wouldn't have minded if they had actually liked each other at some point.
- The secondary couple is interesting. The "I'm too poor" argument I've seen in other pieces of media and it always intrigues me, it's such a fascinating premise - the pride, the angst, just aghh. Yeah. They balanced out the MC's corniness lmao

Some things to note? I guess?

- I don't really know why Gi Seop cared so much about Jinwoo liking him right off the bat. I get that he's not used to people not being attracted to him, but it felt very extreme how he was changing his legal name and getting a tattoo to impress this random guy who (allegedly) doesn't even like him?? Idk
- Similarly to that, I wasn't a fan of his "clueless womanizer" persona at the beginning of the story. Like yeah, he's a people pleaser, but doesn't he see what's wrong with his approach to dating? Not even when confronted with twenty-something angry girls? He should have realized that he was being a jerk, even if he didn't mean to. Not being attracted to someone shouldn't mean you treat them worse. Have some respect.
- This is just my personal taste, but the secondary couple was exhausting to watch at some points. The back and forth was too much. Like you kissed in middle school, now you're beating the shit out of each other (why? idk), now you're fine and going on a date, now he's mad, now we're all crying, just kidding it's fine we're going on another date. I guess it's more realistic but damn, I think *I* might need a therapist after watching them
- I saw many people complaining about Jinwoo going on a date with the girl but I didn't mind it, in fact I would've preferred if he was portrayed as bi. We're seriously lacking on that front in BLs, I think I've seen like two bi protagonists (actually bi, not that "I like girls and only one guy, you" bullshit) total.

But yeah, none of these things bothered me that much. If anything, this was the best series I've watched these past months, it has the best first kiss scene ever in a BL right after the one in Bad Buddy, and I'm in love. That's all Your Honor.

Best drama I've ever watched

Explanation for the Rewatch Value: rewatch value is 1 star because I don't usually rewatch dramas.

For me, this is the best drama I have ever watched. It's a complete package, it has suspense, thriller, comedy, tragedy, etc... No scene was wasted, I think, Everything had a purpose. The setup for the plot points, I think, all paid off in the end. I also want to appreciate the OST, besides the songs, the ambient music we hear during scenes were very good. It sometimes makes you think "Woah, why is the music like this? Is something going to happen or not?". I just want to appreciate the subtlety of it, because it greatly adds to the tension or suspense. The acting, I don't know what else to say, was phenomenal! Everyone did so well. Extra shout out to the antagonists, especially Eunseong. I hated him so much LOL.

*Contains spoilers*
The ending I think was perfect. They were still together, even after death. Atleast, that's what I thought it meant. The scene where the old Hyunwoo was visiting Haein's grave was extra special because of the scene where haein thought she saw an old man bringing flowers to a grave. Well, apparently it was hers. Such a nice callback to that earlier scene.

What a rollercoaster of a drama. It made my cry (many many times lol), laugh and sometimes at the edge of my seat. I'm kinda sad now that it's finished. I guess I'll go check out Soohyun and Jiwon's other dramas for now to comfort myself.
