I've only ever felt compelled to write a review on an ongoing series one other time (UWMA). This is going to be one of my favorite series of 2020 I can already tell. So far it is incredibly cute and I really applaud the social commentary. I'm so glad they didn't cancel the series after they had issues with unofficial channels leaking several episodes.

I think that the overall plot is cute. Some worried that this and EN of Love would be essentially the same series, but EN of Love has nothing on My Engineer. They're not even remotely similar outside of the engineer/doctor coupling. EN of Love wishes it was My Engineer. But I digress... It's interesting the way they spun the secret crush trope with Duen bringing Bohn flowers as a "punishment". I didn't expect Bohn to confess to Duen as early on in the series as he did, but I liked that they didn't draw that plot point out for too long.

I've liked Cooper since My Bromance. So far I think he's done an awesome job although some of the things Bohn does really irritate me and are very reminiscent of Golf from My Bromance. It is not cute nor healthy to be that possessive over someone and it's shocking (I mean not really but you know) that Duen continually forgives Bohn for that behavior. Cooper/Poy have very cute chemistry and very believable first time love type interactions. I usually am not one of those people that prefer the secondary couple to the main couple but OMG I LOVE Ram/King!! I think they are so adorable together and King was persistent in a not creepy way. I really enjoy watching Ram slowly open up to King. Perth and Lay did an incredible job. Also Perth's English *heart eye emoji* was better than his Mom's (I know they just say foreign they don't say where she's from and there's no reason to assume English is her first language). I actually enjoy the 3 main couples and feel like their stories are well developed. I like Thara/Frong, but I feel like 3 couples is A LOT and is seldomly done well so adding a 4th couple is just doing a lot. Their couple is cute, but i don't know if it will be fully realized by the end of the season (not surprising that it wasn’t). Look I thought I was crazy at first but they really did dub the voice for Mek's character and I honestly am scratching my head. I know why they did it, but I felt like there were so many other options they could have done. It's a bit distracting to be honest. Poor Ryan because they also gave him contacts in the beginning and I just thought that they neither A. Fit his character or B. Looked natural. But overall the acting is very well done.

I was honestly put off at first by episode 9 because of their heavy fixation on who would be the seme/uke and what attributes make an uke vs a seme. BLs are notoriously problematic in this area and just when I was ready to fast forward they took the high road! IT DOESN'T MATTER. And whatever works for an individual couple is that couple's business. ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOLKS. Well Done.

Will update this after the series is over but so far 10/10 would recommend.

**Updates

It was cute through and through. The ending wasn’t anything super spectacular but i enjoyed it. I kind of figured they were going for a season 2 because the way the plot was being laid out didn’t leave room for a satisfactory resolution in that time frame. Best kiss Ram and King <3. I really love their couple. We already see the setup for the misunderstanding between Thara/Frong in season 2. It’s still at the top of my list for 2020 BL dramas. I hope season 2 goes more smoothly for the studio. I’ll be waiting.
