Cute, sexy and fluffy!!

"Why is it getting harder and harder?" Oh mo, ROFL! Its so funny!

The way Choi Jun flirted with Lee Jun the entire show got me crazy! How he look at his eyes is sooo charming.

I wish their bed scene is longer! The kissing scenes are hot af and it stops there, what a bummer!

I really love the chemistry of the couple and the visuals are crazy, esp Choi Jun! I can watch him whole day long.

It's a simple feel good BL for days you just wanna giggle and smile and laugh.

If you're looking for sth fancy, dramatic or one with plot twists, then stay away from this drama.

If you're looking for lighthearted, easy to watch, fluff BL, jump on!

I wish to see the CP again!

I had really high expectations

After love tractor ended i had high expectations about jun & jun but it's not giving what i expected plus the audio seems to be a bit wack in some parts. But tbh I'm liking it anyways, i love the idea of a former idol learning to work in a new environment and the childhood friends to lovers trope. Me personally i want lee jun to date hyunjae more than choi jun😞 they all have great chemistry with each other but hyunjae just hits different (and he's not engaged side eye), but well... i know it's not going to happen.
I'm so happy i get to see my children again this week (seungho and sejin) ♡
I hope choi jun can explain the whole fiancee situation next episode so we can finally see a proper confession lmao cuz asking him out after saying he's engaged was not the move

It was good . Let me explain

The visuals were on point . Nearly got a heart attack from the visuals . There was some humour especially when the main guy (Choi Jun) gets jealous . The story or plot is nothing to complicated . Friends who were reunited after a while ,one as an intern and the other as the director , side characters chasing after Jun(Lee Jun) especially Simeon was interesting . Trying to flirt always 😂. Overall it’s a laid back ,cute drama ,nothing too intense or complicated. No parents stopping anything or friends trying to tear them apart . Not bad . Watched everything at a sitting . You should watch it .

Putting candles on a birthday cake you haven't baked yet

Honestly I do not know how to rate this drama because it wasn't bad but it wasn't good ?
The story is pretty simple, two best friends who meet again once they're adults. It could have been so good and instead it's like they left the essence of a great trope in the bottom of an ocean of despair. I thought people were supposed to have a personality, but god was I wrong. From the plot to the leads to the relationship, everything is just...shallow.
It's like watching TV after a tiring day and you end up on a program that numbs your brain so much you find no motivation to change channels. I didn't hate it ok ? I was really curious to know if they'll ever get deep at one point and i'm not against hurting myself every now and then.
And then.. The last 20 seconds of the last episode happened.
The leads making out on the bed yet fully dressed and then....then... One of them gets a condom and squeezes it in his hand. Why man ? WHY ? You're both fully clothed what are you going to do ? Use your mind to get both of you naked ??
It's like trying to put candles on a birthday cake you haven't baked yet. It makes no sense at all.
This entire drama makes no sense at all.

:)

i really liked it when it first started airing, and as a few episodes came out. but as the series went on, i found myself liking it less and less. i still love it a lot, i enjoyed it very much and was entertained by it. but there were a few things that makes me not like it as much as i thought i was going to. the pacing was not good at all. there was no clear indicator on the speed of time throughout this series. things were either happening too fast, or too slow and there were mant scenes that i felt were unnecessary or they were just being dragged out. i liked the concept of the plot, but the one thing i don’t like about it, is how simeon and hyunjae were barely shown getting together— as the trailer made us believe was going to be more of a major part of the plot. the overall pacing was off, and as i mentioned there were a bit unnecessary scenes, but other than that, i really liked it. junmo and hyunwoo have great chemistry, so i hope they will be a pair in a future series. junmo and chanhyun had great chemistry too.

It was good until...

The drama start with a good start, unfortunately they can't keep it up untill the end.

Quite like the story development at first, everything run quite smoothly without much can be criticism. Unfortunately in the last episode, they kinda jump the plot until make me confuse & shout: "Hah!? How that's happen again..." I think we have missing scene that not included into the final wrap...

The story around 2 long separated friend that meet again in their adult age. The meeting evoke their pent up feeling & the closeness make the feeling bloom into something else.

I like how the story progress with Choi Jun (CJ) try to get closer with Lee Jun (LJ), with all of CJ's expression that we can see on his face. But at the same time, I got blank page from LJ. LJ sudden change in feeling toward CJ make me wonder how & when that happen....

Overall this only another drama that passed by in my days...

A Missed Opportunity in Character Development

I approached this series with a lowered expectation, only to find that it did little to change my initial outlook. At its core, this BL series revolves around a character so unlikable that you'll find yourself hoping the other main character seeks love elsewhere.

The storyline introduces us to Lee Jun, a failed idol who lands an internship in a company where the general manager, Choi Jun, turns out to be his childhood friend. Their reunion sparks feelings from their shared past. However, for a series to succeed, it needs likable characters that viewers can root for. Unfortunately, Lee Jun falls short of fulfilling this role. His character lacks depth and charisma, yet three men are inexplicably smitten with him.

First, we have Choi Jun, Lee Jun's childhood friend who secretly harbors feelings for him since their youth. Their past connection isn't sufficiently explored, leaving viewers questioning the basis of Choi Jun's enduring affection. Moreover, Choi Jun's two-year silence after returning to South Korea post his studies in US hardly aligns with someone deeply in love. He does not even attempt to contact Lee Jun until coincidentally he is hired as an intern in his office.
Second, there's Song Hyun Jae, Lee Jun's former idol manager who recommends him for an internship at Choi Jun's company. While Song Hyun Jae genuinely cares for Lee Jun, the latter’s character mainly involves whining and emotional turmoil.
Lastly, Simeon, a famous model who also admires Lee Jun, adds another layer to the complex web of feelings. His flirtations with Lee Jun go unnoticed, and intriguingly, a more palpable chemistry emerges between Simeon and Song Hyun Jae.

The series missed an opportunity to create a more engaging character in Lee Jun. Instead of a self-deprecating and whiny persona, Lee Jun could have been portrayed as a newcomer navigating office life, garnering attention and affection from past and present colleagues. His timidness could have been balanced with decisiveness, enriching his character beyond mere vulnerability.

In conclusion, the series falls short of its potential due to the underdeveloped character of Lee Jun. While the concept of office-based romance holds promise, there are better BL series in this genre worth exploring. This one, unfortunately, can be safely skipped in favor of more engaging alternatives.

Not Good, Not Bad

When I say not good, not bad... I think that says it all

Want to kill some time or... like me, I at least attempt to watch every bl I can find. There were more in 2023 that I couldn't finish than in previous years because they were so terrible. I'm not sure why, maybe because as more bl series are created, there are bound to be both good and bad.

Anyway back to this series. Everything was just ok. I think the acting was just ok, not great, same for the storyline.

There was no real plot, no danger, no real romance, no sex (darn it...lol).

Mediocre! The best way to describe it. No rewatch value. Best news.. it's short. You can binge watch it.

Didn't even know ended

The overall idea of the story is good. The actors are totally beautiful. But the storyline itself is not that great. So many glaring holes in the plot. Too many characters without defined roles and added very little to story other than to confuse people. The lines connecting the characterswas almost nonexistent. Again characters were sweet. The kissing scenes also good. But the story just ends without an ending. I think they are hoping for a 2nd season. I think i am being tough on this one because I had very high expectations and all of them fell short.

Cute !

Koreans never fail to cook it was nice a mix of handsome and cute i'm sure the story is missing at some parts due to the writers trying to fit too much details maybe in to 8 episodes which is popular when drama is adapted to the point where some feelings aren't processed enough contrary to when the writers try to drag things all in all it's cute the actors are good visuals are good .
-music is dull and non existent for me
-bed scene ok
-the fujoshi fiance though is lovely she is us

Could have been better

This pacing of this show was so weird/wild and all over the place especially in regards to the timelines. With a better script, better pacing and longer run time, this would have been one of the best KBLs because the chemistry of our leads was just 🔥. The leads with the 2 SMLs and the 3 female characters acting was really good. Some of the side characters or extras were over acting but over all pretty decent acting. The actor that played the director was such a whole damn mood. He was the shining star of this drama hands down. He’s facial expressions were incredible and they were giving hunnnyyyy.
I don’t think I will necessarily rewatch this but I do recommend if you are looking for something fast/easy with good chemistry.

Que coisa desorganizada…

Sempre vi muitas pessoas falando e recomendando esse bl. Honestamente nos edits de 15 segundos dos protagonistas que você assiste nos reels do insta você se animava muito para assistir. Mas o bl em si foi uma grande decepção.

Tive a impressão que os autores e roteiristas quiseram juntar uns 5 plots diferentes em uma história só, o que acabou fazendo com que nenhum âmbito do bl fosse bem desenvolvido. O passado como idol do personagem principal é medíocre, o personagem do modelo é vomitado na trama, todo o desenvolvimento do manager é raso e desinteressante, o Jun empresário tem a profundidade de uma piscina infantil… Talvez a principal palavra que defina o bl: desinteressante. A cada segundo informações eram jogadas e mal explicadas pro telespectador, juntando inúmeros plots sem desenvolvimento nenhum. Uma verdadeira bagunça.

O nosso casal principal de Jun’s foi o mais decepcionante pra mim. A química deles é igual a de uma porta. Depois de assistir você percebe que apenas se anima com as cenas de 15 segundos do Instagram, porque os dois atores são bonitos, já que a relação dos dois no drama é praticamente inexistente. O relacionamento deles começou quando eles eram crianças? Claro, mas os autores esperavam que o desenvolvimento deles como um casal fosse baseado em uma ou outra cena de duas crianças de 10 anos em um parquinho? Me poupem. O relacionamento deles não tem trama, não tem química, não tem NENHUMA profundidade.

O único ponto positivo é que você consegue assistir tudo em uma tarde e já riscar da sua lista.
