Will miss Gun and Cher !!
Warning ⚠️ if you want solid plot with no loopholes and logical explanations for events dont watch the series.But if you want some great chemistry between the leads, non problematic relationship, fluffiest fluff this is the one for you. It made my Friday's stress free, gonna miss GunCher for sure :((
Book and Force have improved tremendously and had chemistry from the EP1, which is pretty rare. Book's Cher may seem annoying at first, but later you realise why he acts this way you can understand where he is coming from. Force though younger irl is believable as the serious boss who is searching for love and who found it in intern Cher. This isnt by far the perfect series, but it made me feel warm and happy to see their chemistry and relationship.
Goodbye GunCher, lets go ForceBook looking forward to more of the crackling chemistry in upcoming works.. <3 <3

Made me hate office romcom
It could have been one of the best shows of 2023, cos it had the potential. But what a let down this has been..Story and editing - It didnt really have any continuity or any interesting thing happening. I get that it wants to depict mundane office setting , but it is boring since we get an hr of episode and nothing really happens. They just kept talking, doing presentations and gossip all throughout. And the time frame is not clear, the jumps are not at all acknowledged. Choppy editing would have been blamed if the story was better, though it didnt even try and maintain that continuity scene by scene.
Acting- Man has been the backbone along with Bruce, couldnt tell Man doesn't have acting experience. Others couldn't be blamed, since we dont know how the character was presented to them , what workshops were conducted. Lets say there is a lot of room for improvement. Ben's acting has been under criticism but i want to see him in a different project..maybe even a non BL (dont come @ me), though i think with proper training he could become so much better. Others here didnt have any screentime to actually given room to act. Up was passable in what was given to him (Hoping to see him with Kao...).
Overall, it looked promising on the paper, just that it needed a tighter script, good editing, atleast few good performances and shorter length.
Can watch it for Man once..

Finally...!! Its overr..!!!
Acting- I actually felt that casting was good. But they could have been better gelled together...i could feel the bond btw Tai and Tien the most, next only to Tai and his father. The actors were good and performed what was expected of them, though there is a room for improvement in their expressions. The intimate scenes kinda felt orchestrated though they were spicy.Story- Not gonna lie, this had a lott of potential for it to be handled like this. Tai redeemed himself in the final EP, yet i felt he didnt deserve to be forgiven easily like Lomfon was also forgiven. I kinda get that Phatt and Tien are in love but they got hurt and their partners werent greenest flags out there . The pacing was choppy, editing was also not very good(like who the hell shows that many flashbacks). The story could have been just about the soulmate crisis and the *kiss* arc could have been avoided, having crush is OK but the mess in EP10 &11 was kinda too much. Trimming it to 10EPS and simply showing Phatt and Tai getting to know each other and LomfonTai relationship progress from enemies to lovers would have been enough. Angst with adequate amounts of romance along with few NC/love scenes would have made this series a huge hit. Finally DreamNara could have had more scenes (could feel the chemistry).
Final verdict- If you seriously like watching shows with logic and continuity dont watch this and waste your time, but if you want to watch a good first half and a messy second half drama you can go for it.

One of the breezy and light hearted watch !
I really really liked Our Dating Sim. The concept of meeting our first love again is a concept that i like. Both the lead actors have done an outstanding job of playing the present and past characters and i could genuinely feel their every feeling of happiness, loss, yearning and love. It is a surprise that they were able to achieve that in short run time, proving that irrespective of everything else story execution and acting is the backbone of any drama/film.If you are hesitant to watch it dont be.. jsut GO FOR IT :))

Less expectations! More satisfaction!!
I maybe biased, but i wasnt in good headspace when this series started airing ..and it was like a balm to my soul. I won't lie and tell its very well thought out or has a great twists/plot etc. As the name suggests it indeed made my day all good and happy.All the actors esp Great , Thor delivered in the emotional scenes and Inn would have had chances to do so if his arc wasnt diminised to 10min screentime..maybe a part about his struggles and how he overcame could have been handled better. Everyone was good (Drake deserves more screentime, almost all his recent projects havent been doing him justice)...Podd made me hate his Ter so much ? so OyeiCher and YakDee will live happily everyafter in my head ❤️
Just sit back and relax and watch it , enjoy and fall in love with the gorgeousness of the cast/characters !!!

Slice of life/ Friendship!!
I enjoyed watching the series on Wednesday's. It gave me peace and comfort and something to look forward to every week. Dont expect a gripping storyline..just think of it as a casual watch and i am sure you will enjoy it...!!My preference on CP 1. PhumPeem (enemies to lovers trope) 2. TanFang (wishing to see them as main CP)..otheres were kinda good but didnt stick for me.
Wish we could watch Aou and Boom in a mature and story heavy series soon !!!

Dont look for logic !! Just watch with open mind !!
Man ..this has been a wild ride. I seriously thought this was well cast. Pavel as Babe literally lived the character and you could feel his inner feelings almost in every frame. I liked him as Forth in 2moons2..but here I just loveee him. The other cast members did their roles well with what screenspace given to them. I liked all the couples here..they all had chemistry and NC scenes werent cringey.The main issue was the loophole filled plot, with halfassed execution of the script..not enough screenspace for the large cast and short running time. Either they could have gone with 10EP with longer running time or go for 15 EP..it felt rushed and incomplete towards the end. The fight sequences could have been better..editing was random at the best. For these kinda stories a tighter editing is half work done, along with some great action scenes and some solid car race sequences. Even if the script was fantasy/fanfic type it still could have been enjoyable if v know the characters in depth and get into the story more. Pavel's was the only fleshed out character along with Sailub's which sorta made sense and made them utilise their acting prowess.
Overall can watch if you wanna watch something new with a lot of great actors and specially for Pavel ??❤️

First half- fun filled , second half- mystery !!
Personally I liked the drama since i was watching some heavy intense dramas along with this. This drama isnt perfect , it tries it hand at two diff genres and somewhat manages to engage us.Story - Its unique plot, but there are non linear stories of different characters so we need to be patient to find out what is what. The surprise turn of events in the last few episodes to suspense was quiet new in kdrama world and honestly it kinda works here, though there are plot holes here and there the story is engaging enough that u can overlook them in casual viewing.
Cast- Not gonna lie ..have been a fan of Lee Minki since he appeared as a band member aged ago. Han Jimin is good and Su ho is apt as the mysterious sun woo( they could have let him live ...) and all the supporting cast esp Noona guy, ok hui and the police team leader..etc have done a great job. You are able to belive that these ppl are neighbors residing in a small town where everyone knows everyone atleast superficially.. ;P
Overall you can watch the drama once for the hilarious 1st half and can continue and finish it till the end. Don't expect any overtly romantic track from ML/SML and FL..but the elderly one and the noona one are good.

Wow what a wild ride it was !!! Highly recommend !!
I am very happy that i came across this one, since i always feel bored in everyday monotony yet afraid to venture out same as the lead. Both the lead actors portrayed very nice contrast in the flashback, where Masumi is the naive college guy and Ritsu as the heartless playboy. If there were no end of the world circumstance as shown in the drama I sincerely doubt if they would both get together and will Masumi ever have it in him to forgive Ritsu (Honestly I wouldn't).The scene at the end where they both are in the stream made me realise how we dont really know what's there out until we step out and explore before its too late. The ending didnt bother me that much since Masumi and Ritsu had each other what may come their way and if they survive we can confidently say that they will live life to the fullest filled with love and happiness.
Ps- Really liked the supernatural angle with Yuma and his dramatics. Suprised with how the intimate scenes turned out realistic and depicted the typical college life of the leads.
All in all a very good watch !!

The acting was good, their eye contact was sizzling. Their friend group was really cute and made me smile.
If you want to watch angsty school romance/bromance with some good acting you can go for it.
