Cute and Heartfelt story that i strongly recommend !
When i first picked up this series i was still rather new to BL world but i had watched a couple beforehand. I was actually surprised that this drama introduced us to a rather odd main characters personality types when compared to usual settings. Usually we get this truly strong and manly guy right next to the cute one, so my first impression about Ae and Pete was rather refreshing . I must admit, Pete was a bit too childish and shy to my taste but Ae's performance completely and utterly made up for it. I strongly believe that as far as ,, HUNGRY emotion ,, go..and yes, i am not talking about eating ! No one has been able to top Ae's performance for me and I've seen loads of dramas by now. This is also the very reason i took this show up for a rewatch.. and well season 2 , i still need to see, truth to be told, i couldn't watch season 2 after first one before.. The pain Ae feels in season 2 is still so hard for me, but this is another story. That season has a happy ending ! Yaay.. or well.. partly.. as i do feel sad that Tin gets Canned on this version. Tin and Can's story is one of the strongest side couple stories i think. Love by Chance is also written into the same universe as Why r u ( aside to some differences ) and Tharntype series. So If u liked those, i suggest to try LBC as well.What i like about this show :
* Softcore yet really strong chemistry between characters , they play it out so well it makes you cringe more than some heavycore sexy scenes do ..
* Ae's character !
* Radical differences between characters. P'Good and P'Can for example , its so unique because one can't shut up and other one can't really talk at all .
*Daring use of words in this show ! I like how blunt they are ! They don't just swirl around.. they use some really endearing and bold words and sentences !
Some unlikes :
* A little too childish and weak Pete, sometimes it does push my nerve but only a little :D
* Ending for Tin and Can on season 1 .. i hate it.. but in a way i'm glad because only happy endings would tire us soon out.
* P'types character is way too sweet on this series.. he is suppose to be more of an asshole. Who has seen other shows from this universe will get what it means :D
*Storyline is rather small and doesn't surprise us .. but it's simplicity is also likable and easy to watch
* Multiple characters were too ,, much '' .. Like they turned crazy mode full on for some of them. And of course it's not completely bad but a bit overpowering in this sense .
So in my opinion , try it out ! And let us all know what you thought of this series ;)

Disappointment
Well.. this is actually the only BL drama that i ever decided to drop out of and let me tell you why. The only possible way to like this series is when this is your first ever BL series ! Why ? Because as a first timer you've got no idea, what the BL world is like so you don't expect anything. I bet and this is a heads up ! .. If you have never seen any BL.s at all then please do go for it ! Because softly saying.. it gives out the idea ,, what BL even means ,, and it fits perfectly as the first ever one to watch because if that was my first one.. i would've loved it . Problem for me is.. i took it on after many truly hot BL series.. so it fell bland for me .. truth is.. the story isn't that fresh, also the base itself is soft ! .. Like one mentioned it's more like bromance instead of romance .. No chemistry filled scenes .. hotness.. Nada ! But i did watch similar korean BL as my first one ever and i truly loved it.. I bet i wouldn't have if it wasn't my first one . Messed up logic but i hope it somehow helps out. Good things ? .. Let's face it.. main characters are cute and hot.. they have so much potential.. i wish they showed us more.. it could've been something great thats for sure . I know it has another season but sadly i'm not even bothered to finish the first one. Let's just say that maybe.. one day.. if i'm dying from boredom i might try this again ? Sadly.. i rather re watch my favorite ones 2 more rounds.Was this review helpful to you?
Worth the watch !
Amazing work ! Worth it !Story itself is done perfectly. You don't often meet plots that take you on such a roller coaster ride as this one does. Usually with whatever story , sooner or later you get the idea where the ending is going to get you. KinnPorche story however fools you until the very end. Whole time you watch this it's going to be ,, he's the bad guy.. no ! as it turns out.. the other one is the bad guy and the plot twists again and again and again until you actually get frustrated because it's suppose to end soon but you feel like, this confusion of yours is nowhere near to clearing up and that's the beauty of this show. Story wise .. it has everything.. HOTness overload from the start.. suspense .. guns blazing .. mysteries to solve, chemistry , insane humor, happy endings and not so happy endings. Full package. The only reason this show didn't get full on 10 out of me is because i myself felt like some parts of the show.. would have needed some more depth to it. Certain moments as they happen suddenly and out of the blue.. specially towards the ending , leave you to think ,, wait.. i'd like too see into it some more.. or like.. i would've liked to ease into it. I'd say that last two episodes feel like race to finish in many ways but never the less it doesn't disappoint. All that being said .. I do not however advise to take this show on as a first timer in a BL series world ! . Trust me.. this one tastes tons of times better if you've watched some softer BLs before that one . Why ? Because having everything all at once , is simply not healthy. Trust me, you'll thank me for that later ! ;)
