Cute but Lacking Plot
If you decide to watch this series, it's best to leave any expectations at the door. Otherwise, you're likely to be disappointed due to the lack of a substantial plot in this series. The description is quite misleading.
Lee Jun is a former idol who receives an internship offer from his ex-manager, now turned good friend. Little does he know, the new director of the company is none other than his childhood friend, Choi Jun, who happens to be romantically interested in Lee Jun. Meanwhile, Lee Jun's close friend, HyunJae, secretly harbors unrequited feelings for him. Further complicating the romantic dynamics is Lee Jun's former senior, Simeon. However, Lee Jun seems to be completely oblivious to the love square that surrounds him.
Despite the messy and incoherent plot, along with an abundance of unnecessary office scenes, the series manages to have its cute moments. Lee Jun's character, an average-looking idol, is relatable to many viewers who can put themselves into his shoes, which is part of the series' charm. After all, who wouldn't want three attractive individuals vying for their attention, even if they don't all fall into the same "hotness" category? It's a well-known rom-com trope to pair an ordinary protagonist with above-average hot pursuers , and it seems to work here. I mean you won’t find me rejecting Choi Jun and HyunJae anytime soon. You can keep Simeon. Just take a look at the comment section to see how thirsty people are for Choi Jun.
This series undeniably had potential, but unfortunately, it falls victim to subpar writing, directing, and editing, making it quite a mess. Nonetheless, the show manages to offer some eye candy, as Korean BLs are often praised for their visual aesthetics, setting them apart from BL series in other countries.
If you're seeking a well-crafted plot, this series might not be the right choice. However, if you’re just looking for some silliness to binge that requires no thinking but delivers in the visual department, then this series might just be what you're looking for.
