The women should have been arrested for stalking
Honestly the only reason I could complete the entire show is because I am a Deng Lun fan. This show is full of negative Chinese female stereo types that we are supposed to find cute and funny. Perhaps if this had been a high school drama it would have been less annoying. The FL had the maturity of a five year old through most of the movie and all the women would have been arrested for stalking in the United States. One of them committed acts that had it been a male done to a female they would have been sent to prison but we are supposed to forgive her. The men tell them no but the women don't listen.To all the DRAMA writers out there... NO means NO. If it's not acceptable for a man to do to a woman, it's not acceptable for a woman to do to a man.
I'm not going to go into other plot holes and disasters. I am mainly writing this for those of you who are parents... don't let your girls watch this.

this is a movie not a tv show
Eight fifteen minute long episodes strung together would be a movie. I love bl and I like watching dancers as I am disabled and don't have full range of movement so I gave this a chance. I think it would have been wonderful if they had done a more in depth story. But for the time frame they had it was complete. This is a simple drama that was done well. Though there isn't much character development you get enough to determine why the main characters makes the choices they do. I would recommend watching it.Was this review helpful to you?
Too short, too many characters, not even deveopment.
Each episode has about 10 minutes of story time. 3 couples (six people) add additional characters and there is no time to get to know anything about the characters or why they like each other in the first place. There is so little story here that I got a 500 character max warning :/ Unless you have 100 minutes of time to waste I would skip this one. the one positive is that some of the actors are cute. I write for fun and it is hard to come up with 500 characters. I might actually have more development than the show.Was this review helpful to you?

you get to see Noh Min Woo shirtless
I almost stopped watching this show at the first episode but Noh Min Woo is eye candy so I continued. The show starts out antagonistic and remains that way to the end. We know that the FL is supposed to see through the ML's personality and see the heart inside. Honestly I don't think they had enough of those moments. Her bond with the SML was much stronger. If the SML didn't look scarily like my younger brother then I would have rooted for him.I could connect with the ML's loneliness and the personality he presented to keep himself from being hurt but that he didn't let go of the connection he had before he thought the SML had betrayed their friendship. I think the mending of their relationship was far more powerful than the relationship between the ML and the FL. This alone made sitting through all the episodes worth it.
And of course the number of times we go to see NMW shirtless.
What didn't work...
1. Hair
a. the times they straightened the ML's hair or styled it back was just awful
b. the FML's hair was awful until they straightened it
2. The fashion
a. ML - perhaps just a tiny but stuffy but there was nothing wrong with how he dressed
b. FL - dressed like an old woman through most of the show
c. SML - his outfits were mostly horrible
3. The SML's airbrushed abs. Thankfully that pain is over in the flash
4. The SML's illness
[spoiler] I thought it was odd that getting glass in his eye as a kid would cause degenerative nerve damage to his eyes. Then they fixed it with a cornea transplant. I'm not a medical professional and even I can tell that this isn't even a possibility. If the nerves are damaged then replacing the cornea isn't going to fix that. If it was a cornea problem then he should have had the issue with his sight being very bad since childhood. If it was the injury from childhood then the loss of sight should have only affected the eye that was injured. It would have been better to have him loose his sight from a degenerative issue and have him perform blind.[/spoiler]
Over all if you have the time, watch it

Characters don't loose their chemestry
I am not certain what some of the other reviewers expected the main characters to be like after they got together. The formula for this show is two antagonistic leads finally realize that they are in love with each other. What changes in their chemistry is that they are no longer antagonistic to each other, which they shouldn't be. You get to see a little of them being happy together until their fears and outside love interests drive them apart so they can get back together. It's not a new formula but it has been one of the better one's I've watched this week.Was this review helpful to you?
