Easy to watch
Are they poly, are they gay, is this a bromance or is this a romance?I honestly do not know, are they punching up, down or just right out in the air I do not know that either... what I do know was that the quality of acting varied but that could be me expecting to much of these really talented actors....
Mistaken or gay or not, these guys were pretty chill about it and there is some pretty decent gay rep somewhere in there as well. I did enjoy some of the humour and found the characters to be pretty decent human beings. I can understand why some people view this as a rewatchable comfort drama as it does have a lot of fluff (literally) and not much anxiety or drama. So in short it is just one of those easy to watch kind of deals.

I Have Never Laughed SO MUCH!
This was the funniest thing I have watched in a long time! Simply Hilarious - But not stupidly corny, just funny!There was no BL content in it, just other's perceptions of the situations they saw, helped along my one great narrative onscreen and a bromance.
The ending was great too!
The acting was perfect, but that was expected with these two actors.
Short but with it being a 1- 15 episodes marathon - that was ok! I will definitely keep this one around to rewatch.

Absolutely Silly and Completely Enjoyable
Well, this might be a very short review:• Absolutely and completely silly
• Totally hilarious and comical
• Almost every episode made me laugh continuously (and I don't laugh that easily)
• Extremely light, with no trace of negativity
• Fully and thoroughly enjoyable
And that's it.
Be sure to watch this wonderful creation!
Enjoy!
Side-note: Technically, it is not a BL series.

It's about two boys that live next door and under circumnstances of the story they have to live together for a while. But they are always caught in confunsing and misleading situations that led people to believe that they are more than friends... but it's not the case.
The cast did a good job. Choi Woo Shik and Jang Ki Yong did a god job and they were really funny together and that is the main focus of the story. Yes we have the friend Mina but the main focus is on them and the funny and akward situations they are in.
Enjoyable and really funny, it really deserves your time.

I personally love this show. Though the storyline leans towards the basic side, the casting was done really well for this show. It was easy to become invested with the characters and feel their embarrassment. I was not so happy that this whole show revolves around the idea of queer-baiting. Several of my friends watched it through 'til the end, hoping for them to become a couple. This never happens, however. If you are okay with this dramatic concept, then I bet you will really like this show. If you really want to watch a show with LGBTQ+ representation, then I would suggest watching another show.

It's Okay
A pretty fun show, I wouldn't say that it's groundbreaking but definitely one of the funnier entries into the genre.THE GOOD:
First I'll start with some of the things I really liked about the series. It doesn't overstay its welcome as a mini-series with a tight 90 runtime that you can easily watch in parts or marathon all at once it you feel like it. The first few episodes do feel solid just in terms of style, editing and humor. And the first episode is a really good introduction to the general feel of the show so I was really happy that it had such a solid foundation to build from. The classic ultra melodramatic K-pop needle drops were also really funny especially playing Ann Hyeji's 'I Loved You' during the Ramen eating scene. I really appreciated the amount of jokes that had an early set-up and only reached the punchline at the end of the episode. I think that the patience payed off instead of only having quick sight gags.
THE BAD:
I would say that it does loose steam mid-way through the shows run and I wish that the last few episodes were more focused on coming up with some kind of resolution to the set-up of the show and the tension between the main characters and their mutual friend. The comedy of errors style gags also do start to feel a little exhausting midway through. I was under the impression that the 'misunderstanding' scenes would move the plot but eventually they started to feel narratively aimless. No idea if this is the case. but I did get the impression that some of the issues I had with the plot likely just stemmed from the inherent limitations that come with filming and writing for a short form web drama.
Final Thoughts: Pretty fun although not really a drama. The series is probably closer to a sitcom/comedy but It was dumb mindless fun and honestly it was significantly more interesting than some of the actual 'BL' series I've been watching recently so I have to give this series credit for that.
Overall Score : 8.0

So I would highly recommend you all to watch it, however to re-watch is probably not a good thing as most of the jokes are known well in advance.

Definitely gonna rewatch this.
Okay I started this drama with zero expectations I just wanted something light and funny... And boy did I get exactly what I wanted. I really liked that there was an actual BL side couple who got a happy ending lmao. I felt very bad for Mina who was stuck in this mess. But definitely worth the watch. It reminded me of "Man who defies the world of Bl" but not exactly that. I really wish we got another season but that seems impossible at this point T__T. In my head the main couple is together and Mina has someone of her own and they go on double dates together(I'm delusional).Was this review helpful to you?
It's for giggles. Only.
I can't get over how humorous this series of queer unfortunate events was. I will never get over it.Take nothing seriously, expect no deep and life-changing lessons and experiences for the characters.
Expect Shakespearean miscommunication and all sorts of awkward and fumbling "will they/ won't they" moments. The confusion of a queer awakening is top notch. Definite recommendation for a good laugh. If the opening doesn't hook you, you broke your sense of humour, move on to something a little more serious.

Funny...Funny and extremely funny!!
I laughed all through this drama. The comedy in this is excellent, as are the actors, plot, and ending. The misunderstandings are well written and executed, to make the ML’s appear to be gay. If you are looking for something to lighten your mood, something short, something you can just watch and laugh your a** off in almost every scene, then definitely watch this. I went in to this not knowing what to expect. I was just looking for something short and not serious, something I could just watch and not think while I was watching it. I picked the right drama/comedy for that. I can’t believe the rating for this isn’t higher! I guess it’s not everybody’s taste in humor.Was this review helpful to you?
