Good, Cute, Brief, some parts fast paced
The fast pacing at times, is not their fault with 10 minute episodes. To there credit some episodes u feel like it was a full 40 minute episode, but some end with a supposedly 'big' scene/problem, but in a normal drama if would be a minor problem of 4 that happen in the same episode, not their fault.I was pleasantly surprised, since all the bad reviews, but it's light hearted, cute and sometimes funny ( the main guy, who took his sisters place is my favourite, so snarky). EPISODE 4 was BANGER, in its own right, it wasn't like life changing, but this random guy just falls in love out of nowhere with the male lead who's pretending to be a girl, and he's so serious it's comedic and I'm pretty sure the whole point of this show was to be funny, cute and lighthearted. IT HIT THE MARK FOR THIS. FUNNY. CUTE. LIGHT-HEARTED.
Also I felt the love blossoming between the 2 leads really organically and genuinely, makes me even think rearrange marriages aren't all bad. its like a fairy-tale love, smart and dopey together.

Short but cute
This is a serie to sit and watch without much expectations or a huge plot due to the short time.What I see in it for me is a message, but maybe I am the only one to see that. "LOVE IS LOVE" what does that mean? Is that Love has no gender age or shape and this is what the show is all about. How the unexpected can happen when the heart decides to love.
Neither of them were planning for the feelimg to be this fluid but how many true stories have we not hear similar to that in real life?.
When you’ve always identified as a purely straight man/woman, developing feelings for someone of the same-sex can be confusing, to say the least. But this doesn't define your sexuality.
Just because someone identifies as straight doesn't mean that they can't and will never have romantic or sexual feelings for an individual of the same sex
And I think that what this shows. How Love is unpredictable
I would have love for the show to be longuer and have more developpement but it is cute and short

Short but sweet
Okay so I didnt put my expectations up too high cause of who the main actors were and because it's Korean; I still enjoyed it for the characters Choi Ki Wan and Ryu Ho Seon's crazy antics just to save face about the marriage. The level of care that Ho Seon displayed toward Ki Wan was really endearing. Where as Tae Hyun... sorry to Jang Eui-Soo but I found his character to be annoying, I thought he was certified insane honestly. I also wanted to fight the little brat of a sister.The music didn't particularly stick out to me in anyway and the acting was great for what they had to showcase. I would rewatch whenever i'm bored and don't want to get into a full length series.
Also if you're looking for something intimately exciting and find dramas that don't have that kind of dry, this may not be for you. Overall a simple story I enjoyed.

Well, that was underwhelming
This was truly some Wattpad story turned into a low-end BL. The premise itself was actually very good. A BL story set in the Choson era but the end result left me disappointed and wanting. Okay, it doesn't help that I am currently also watching "Word of Honor", so I couldn't help but compare. The "love story" felt mostly just awkward and stiff and the two main leads had no chemistry at all in the beginning, though it improved slightly in the later episodes but only slightly. The story itself got bogged down by unimportant side stories, the dialogues were also not great. All of this is a real problem when each episode is only some 12 minutes long. On the whole, I really felt like watching some really mediocre Wattpad story (not comparing this to AO3 - there are a lot of stories on AO3, which are a ton better than what we see on screen). I am not the biggest fan of Korean BL. So far, absolutely nothing has been able to wow me at all and this new offering won't help me change my mind that there is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to Korean BL.Was this review helpful to you?
I loved it
I watched it all in one go and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. It was short, but didnt feel rushed. Ill be watching again for sure. It was so sweet, cute and fun.Considering the limitations in length and budget that come with a web series, it did an excellent job and was much better than Im used to with similar format shows.
It didnt answer every question about what was a very complicated premise. It didnt wrap up every angle. But it didnt leave me feeling like sth was missing or it was too rushed.

Anyway, right at the beginning and with the previews, one could have expected a big story, drama, but after the first episode, everything slipped into a mini-form, both in the cast, the length of the episodes and the story itself. Apparently, the creators also struggled with a low budget.
The story, the idea (perhaps even according to reality) excellent, but for the most part unused, the potential that was offered was tons - like not many places, really a pity. But I don't mean to punish the creator.
The main three characters are cast by three stars from other Korean series and projects that are very well rated here on GT - Where Your Eyes Linger (Jang) - sk tit, Mr. Heart (Lee) - series sk tit and movie cz tit by monvi and Wish You II (Kang) - has cz tit by karcikarl, I list the civil nicknames of the actors in parentheses and the actors are also listed in that order on the three-photo in the Pictures folder. I liked Lee - Choi Ki Wan the most in terms of character and acting, who appeared disguised as a woman for 95% of the series.
Extremely pleasant, delicious, but I was impressed by the set, costumes, and sound. I learned how Koreans used to dress, how they lived. Overall satisfaction, BUT ... with a hugely wasted potential of the subject ...

quero casar
A Coréia tinha todo o direito de errar, menos com esse drama. A serie como um todo te atrai muito mais que a aparência dos atores. A ost é MUITO boa, o plot é bem pensado e bem produzido. os outros aspectos como filmagens, roteiro posso dizer que todos foram muito profissionais e todos estão no ponto certo, realmente pensei que o final seria um erro, mas não foi. Porém como um todo não teve nada memorável, foi algo bem na media, jogaram muito sem se arriscar, não sei se é porque são os primeiros dramas mas realmente essa forma instantânea de se fazer as series me incomodam bastante, a historia fica muito no ar e você não consegue manter o interesse, se houvesse um tempo entre o lançamento do penúltimo e ultimo episodio eu acredito que muitas pessoas não assistiriam o final. Porém agora até eu quero casar '-'Was this review helpful to you?

Reseña sencilla
Qpd conozco mini series pero esta le gana a todas en ser cortita lit en 1:30 ya la terminaste, aun asi es una historia muy bonita, la vd que yo pense que iba a ser una historia de amor trágica pero "SPOILER" todo lo contrario termino bien, siento que por lo mismo que es bn cortita deja muchas cosas en el aire, como que va a pasar con la hermana de Choi Ki Wan, que dijeron la hermana y la mama de Ryu Ho Seon cuando ya no estaba su esposa ahi con ellos, el otro wey como que quedo en la nada pq ps se nos dice que si se enamoro pero ps tal parece que fue rechazado etc, la vd me hubiera gustado caps mas largos ya que queria ver que pasaba con ellos cuando ya por fin deciden estar juntos en el cap final, good besito:)Was this review helpful to you?
Por ser tão pequeno não há tanto desenvolvimento, o que teria se resolvido se fosse vinte ou trinta minutos, mas acho que é um bom passo para outras produções, quando imaginaria que teria um BL ambientando em Joseon, sério, amava ver como cuidaram do detalhes, até quando usavam a forma antiga do alfabeto coreano. Coitado do Hoseon, tem um amigo super fura-olho, não imaginei que ele seria tão rápido e agressivo no flete. Achei bem divertido essa parte, porém acho que sem ela o casal principal teria mais tempo de tela. Então, tendo ou não, não faz diferença para mim.
Pontos negativos: Curto, pouco desenvolvimento e muito flashback no final. Partes positivas: Química incrível, sentimento nos olhares, a solução final para os dois e o beijo. Foi tão bonito, com certeza um dos mais bonitos que já vi, mesmo sendo casto passa tanto sentimento, a forma carinhosa de cuidado antes dele também.
Bom não espere muito, não acredite que o ator ficará idêntico a uma mulher ou um plot arrasador, mas como disse antes, há muitos pontos bons, penso que ele é ótimo para passar o tempo sem necessidade de ser algo super pensante ou muito triste.

Quando a Coréia vai nos apresentar dramas com tempo decente de tela?
Para ser honesta, quis assistir a esse drama apenas para ver o Kim Tae Hyung, depois do sucesso em "Where your eyes linger". Foi o primeiro BL de época que assisti, gostei do fato de ser ambientado na era Joseon, na verdade, gosto de BL's que fogem do lugar comum. Sobre o roteiro, achei que deixou muitos furos, muitas questões importantes em aberto, talvez porque a Coréia tem esse hábito de fazer produções com poucos episódios, que além de poucos são muito curtos, esse ficou entre 10 e 13 minutos, então realmente contar uma história em um espaço tão curto de tempo tem o risco de prejudicar o roteiro. Por quê a irmã fugiu? Onde ela estava? Quando a irmã voltou e seu irmão assumiu novamente a identidade masculina, o que as pessoas falaram, a família do noivo principalmente? Quando foram morar juntos, ninguém questionou nada? Afinal perante todos ele estava casado com uma mulher, qual a justificativa pra essa mulher simplesmente sumir e dar lugar a um homem? Óbvio que tiveram pontos positivos, como uma pitada de humor, o cuidado com os detalhes de época etc.A produção, apesar das falhas no roteiro, foi boa. A ambientação, fotografia, atuação, tudo estava ok, principalmente a ost, que me deixou encantada. O casal tinha muita química e a atuação deles transmitiu muito sentimento , apesar de que a "noiva", sinceramente, não parecia uma mulher.
Enfim, de uma forma geral eu recomendo esse drama, porém não crie muitas expectativas.

Una idea mal ejecutada disfrazada de innovación
Esta serie prometía ser, además del primer BL histórico—hecho cuestionable pues si ampliamos nuestro concepto de BL, The King and The Clown le gana por buenos años—, una serie “innovadora”.¿Un chico se disfraza de mujer para reparar el daño de su hermana y casarse con su prometido? Interesante, ¿de pronto aparece el mejor amigo del esposo y se enamora del principal pensando que es mujer? Genial, cuenten conmigo y con muchas personas más. Ahora, ¿por qué no desarrollaron esto como debía? Perdieron al menos tres capítulos con el drama de la hermana de Hoseon y trataron el problema del triangulo amoroso y el enamoramiento de Hoseon y Kiwan en quince minutos básicamente.
Me dirán “Jenn, no esperes mucho de una serie cuyos capítulos no llegan a los veinte minutos”. Sin embargo, eso no es excusa pues hay cortometrajes de la misma duración y que no gozan de continuaciones, que han mostrado un mejor desarrollo de la historia.
Esta serie tenía todo para convertirse en una serie inolvidable: un cast conocido en el mundo del BL, una trama curiosa y un referente del recibimiento de otros BLs que le permitiría evitar errores. Aunque, pensándolo bien, si se convirtió en una serie inolvidable, pero por lo mala que es.

La limitación de la duración es un problema desde el inicio para las series web, pero varias han logrado desarrollar historias interesantes en poco tiempo.
Aunque los actores me gustaron, este es el primer bl con el que no siento ningún tipo de emoción hacia la pareja. Creo que hubieran podido usar más de su tiempo para fortalecer la conexión entre ellos, en lugar poner tantas situaciones con otros personajes.
