JUST DIDN'T LIKED THE REEL FORMAT

The only thing I do not like about this drama is its format , but every thing here is good and easy to digest and a binge watchable, thanks to the sources out there who made a compilation of this reel type series to be put into a 1-2 hour range video that made it possible for me to watch the entire series .
FIrst I love the cast ! they were so beautiful guys like specially Moon Do Ha .. the way he expresses his jealousy and his love language to Ja Yeon was all over his eyes .. and Jae Yeon's response in acting was all perfect.
what I like most about it was the sweet moments of the leads specially when Do Ha was asking Jae Yeon to go out with him they were really cute .. everything here was just simple and fluffy and just a feel good drama I really hope I may see these two guys again together in a non reel format BL please !

Really Really Cute

This is really cute. I'm not a fan of 2 min episodes unless I can binge watch, so that is what I did. I was not disappointed.

Do Ha was cute, witty, petulant, direct and a whip smart intellect that he hid under a non chalant facade. Jae Yeon was interesting, elusive, reluctant, intuitive and perfect for him. Do Ha took his time to figure out what he was feeling but when he did, he didn't hold back. He engaged all of his charming wiles and made sure Jae Yeon had no choice but to choose. He chose.

Pros:
Visuals
Whitty conversations
Playful banter between leads and support
Partners who enjoy being together
Partners who match intellectually
A script with a little surprise
Actors that are entertaining
A series that doesn't need a nc scene to carry the romance.
No unnecessary drama

Con
2 min episodes.

It was fun, a delight to view and light enough to be entertaining. Main and support interacted well together. Would enjoy seeing them together again. Rewatch, yes.

Honestly I was suprised!

Honestly I was suprised! I wish there was a webtoon I could read because this is exactly the kind of dynamic I love.

I watched the 1h36min compilation (for free) so I didn’t have to deal with the annoying 2-minute episodes. The only downside—and why I took off 2 stars—is the format and the editing. It’s really choppy. But besides that, the acting and chemistry between the leads are absolutely amazing (playful, sometimes shy, and they give you those “having a crush” kind of feelings, lots of teasing and playful competition ).

I also liked their personalities. They’re not annoying or toxic, and everything is consensual. No melodrama, unnecessary angst, or people acting like jerks. If there were the standard 16ep 1h duration I wouldn't hesitate to watch cuz they are great on screen. If the editing was done properly it would have rlly hit the mark and made it better but even like this I ain't complaining much.

Spoilers:

For this kind of show, I wasn’t expecting a kiss, or I thought if there was one, it would be the awkward "dead fish" kind. But surprisingly, it was okay! There’s one kiss scene and a much longer and hotter post-credit scene (like, what the heck? Why not put it in the show?). They end up together near the end of the show, so there aren’t a lot of romantic scenes, but somehow, I didn’t mind since they were adorable. The idol rlly suprised me with his boldness and honesty. I thought they would go the classical troup way but they didnt! I was pleasantly suprised. Definitely a recommendation!

well done micro series

Overall: I enjoyed the back and forth with the leads/their dynamic. 63 episodes between 1-2 minutes each aired on Vigloo app which also has (You Want Some, Rule #1 No Dating Rule, Love in the Apocalypse)

What I Liked
- idol and trainer/stunt person
- how both were equally sassy
- caring moments
- non dead fish lip press kiss

Room For Improvement
- background music was too loud at times


How to Watch for Free (episodes are 50 coins each, you can't skip episodes but once unlocked they stay unlocked forever, there are additional tasks to get more coins like following the company on social media)

Day 1
- watch episodes 1-6 (free on the app)
- can watch 10 episodes free with ads, I unchecked the auto unlock, clicked off of that box and another box popped up saying "view ads to watch for free 0/10" (I did that for eps 7-16)
- watch 15 ads per day for 30 coins each on the rewards page and do the daily check in (eps 17-25)

Days 2 & 3
- watch the 10 episodes, do the daily checking, watch the 15 ads per day (should take about 3 days in total to watch for free)
