nothing notable

although i love both of the leads cast here, i can't say this is a good representation of either of their skills in acting. i also do not enjoy the way the story was written/directed here. there's a lot of lack of connection for both the characters, and it's hard to understand how exactly they developed feelings. part of this boils down to just how incredibly short the episodes are, but also the lackluster script & storytelling abilities from the producer.

this could've been a lot better, but oh well. it's just a casual watch so i don't recommend this to anyone looking for something engaging or with substance.

Silly, slightly off-beat, good fun... but nothing more

I was actually surprised by how much I liked this series. I went into it with very low expectations given the reviews but I actually had a pretty good time watching it.
It's true, this show has many obvious flaws, the main one being how much plot the writers tried to force into such a short runtime and the choppy editing does not help.
These 80-90 minute shows are always pretty densely packed and most of them use these constraints to their advantage but here there was simply too much going on for there to be any time left to get to know the characters properly or even for them to get to know each other, which is obviously a problem when you're trying to tell a story centered around a relationship.
If they had done away with the love triangle (which isn't even really a triangle at all) and some of the sister's meddling and had instead focused on showing a growing connection between our leads then this story could honestly have been great.

That being said, the series is still engaging and entertaining as it is. The performances are solid, the visuals are beautiful and the overall production quality is pretty high.
The characters feel like actual, real people and they lend the whole set-up, contrived and ridiculous as it may be, a certain seriousness and credibility as well as some genuine emotional impact.
I personally also really enjoy the dynamic between the main characters. It would have been easy to box them into hetero-normative relationship roles, I mean one of them is literally playing "wife", but unlike so many other stories that's not what happens here. There are no "haha man in a dress" jokes, no cheap comedy at the expense of queer people's dignity.
Both mains treat each other with a lot of respect and each try to fix the situation as best they can.
Between the two of them Kiwan is the more energetic and confident while Hosun is slightly more reserved, but neither of them are particularly broody, bubbly, or generally over-the-top so they actually mesh quite well with one another.
Their dynamic also doesn't change when Kiwan drops his disguise and goes back to his regular appearance, they just continue on as before without any panic or sexuality crisis on Hosun's part which I really appreciate.
The ending is also very sweet and ties off the story quite well, even if there are many plot-holes left unaddressed.

All in all this show is worth watching if you're in the mood for something breezy, fun, and slightly different in the vein of Tinted With You. And maybe one day we'll get a historical queer romance that's actually good as well as fun. Until then this will do just fine.

My least favourite by far

I know Korean BLs have a limited budget and a way shorter length than others but most of the ones I've watched so far have more or less had a well-developed storyline while this one felt a little bit disjointed but enjoyable nevertheless.

I loved seeing all of the actors in this one again and I'm convinced that Korea will soon have its own group of BL actors and I can't wait.

As a whole, this was a nice and enjoyable drama that you can binge in a day for the lucky ones who decided to watch it after it was completed.

Good, Cute, Brief, some parts fast paced

The fast pacing at times, is not their fault with 10 minute episodes. To there credit some episodes u feel like it was a full 40 minute episode, but some end with a supposedly 'big' scene/problem, but in a normal drama if would be a minor problem of 4 that happen in the same episode, not their fault.

I was pleasantly surprised, since all the bad reviews, but it's light hearted, cute and sometimes funny ( the main guy, who took his sisters place is my favourite, so snarky). EPISODE 4 was BANGER, in its own right, it wasn't like life changing, but this random guy just falls in love out of nowhere with the male lead who's pretending to be a girl, and he's so serious it's comedic and I'm pretty sure the whole point of this show was to be funny, cute and lighthearted. IT HIT THE MARK FOR THIS. FUNNY. CUTE. LIGHT-HEARTED.

Also I felt the love blossoming between the 2 leads really organically and genuinely, makes me even think rearrange marriages aren't all bad. its like a fairy-tale love, smart and dopey together.

Una idea mal ejecutada disfrazada de innovación

Esta serie prometía ser, además del primer BL histórico—hecho cuestionable pues si ampliamos nuestro concepto de BL, The King and The Clown le gana por buenos años—, una serie “innovadora”.

¿Un chico se disfraza de mujer para reparar el daño de su hermana y casarse con su prometido? Interesante, ¿de pronto aparece el mejor amigo del esposo y se enamora del principal pensando que es mujer? Genial, cuenten conmigo y con muchas personas más. Ahora, ¿por qué no desarrollaron esto como debía? Perdieron al menos tres capítulos con el drama de la hermana de Hoseon y trataron el problema del triangulo amoroso y el enamoramiento de Hoseon y Kiwan en quince minutos básicamente.

Me dirán “Jenn, no esperes mucho de una serie cuyos capítulos no llegan a los veinte minutos”. Sin embargo, eso no es excusa pues hay cortometrajes de la misma duración y que no gozan de continuaciones, que han mostrado un mejor desarrollo de la historia.

Esta serie tenía todo para convertirse en una serie inolvidable: un cast conocido en el mundo del BL, una trama curiosa y un referente del recibimiento de otros BLs que le permitiría evitar errores. Aunque, pensándolo bien, si se convirtió en una serie inolvidable, pero por lo mala que es.

Short but cute

This is a serie to sit and watch without much expectations or a huge plot due to the short time.

What I see in it for me is a message, but maybe I am the only one to see that. "LOVE IS LOVE" what does that mean? Is that Love has no gender age or shape and this is what the show is all about. How the unexpected can happen when the heart decides to love.
Neither of them were planning for the feelimg to be this fluid but how many true stories have we not hear similar to that in real life?.

When you’ve always identified as a purely straight man/woman, developing feelings for someone of the same-sex can be confusing, to say the least. But this doesn't define your sexuality.

Just because someone identifies as straight doesn't mean that they can't and will never have romantic or sexual feelings for an individual of the same sex

And I think that what this shows. How Love is unpredictable

I would have love for the show to be longuer and have more developpement but it is cute and short

Short but sweet

Okay so I didnt put my expectations up too high cause of who the main actors were and because it's Korean; I still enjoyed it for the characters Choi Ki Wan and Ryu Ho Seon's crazy antics just to save face about the marriage. The level of care that Ho Seon displayed toward Ki Wan was really endearing. Where as Tae Hyun... sorry to Jang Eui-Soo but I found his character to be annoying, I thought he was certified insane honestly. I also wanted to fight the little brat of a sister.

The music didn't particularly stick out to me in anyway and the acting was great for what they had to showcase. I would rewatch whenever i'm bored and don't want to get into a full length series.

Also if you're looking for something intimately exciting and find dramas that don't have that kind of dry, this may not be for you. Overall a simple story I enjoyed.

Tenía mucha curiosidad y emoción por este bl y terminé decepcionada. Los primeros episodios son un poco confusos y te hacen sentir que hubo otros que debiste ver antes, los siguientes son lentos y sientes que no pasa nada.

La limitación de la duración es un problema desde el inicio para las series web, pero varias han logrado desarrollar historias interesantes en poco tiempo.

Aunque los actores me gustaron, este es el primer bl con el que no siento ningún tipo de emoción hacia la pareja. Creo que hubieran podido usar más de su tiempo para fortalecer la conexión entre ellos, en lugar poner tantas situaciones con otros personajes.

Un petit BL bien sympathique ma foi.

On est ici d'une part dans un BL coréen donc on sait que les épisodes seront courts puisque les coréens font des versions film qu'ils découpent, par la suite, en épisodes pour la série ( corrigez moi si je me trompe ). Mais en plus d'être du pays du matin calme, c'est un BL historique, ce qui annonce la couleur : pas de galipettes, tout sera dans la douceur et dans les "petites" choses qu'il faut savoir repérer et qui montrent les sentiments que développent les futurs amoureux.

Format court oblige, on passe un peu (trop) vite sur la personnalité des personnages ou sur leur vie avant qu'ils ne soient mariés, j'avoue que j'aurai aimé voir un petit flashback du mariage, je pense que ça aurait pu être drôle ou encore les préparatifs au mariage du côté de la famille Choi.

J'ai trouvé que nos deux leads étaient bien mignons tous les deux, s'épaulant pour ne pas trahir leur secret tout en se rapprochant petit à petit.

Mention spéciale pour Jang Eui Su dont je ne compte plus les apparitions dans nombre de K-dramas que j'ai vu. Je l'ai trouvé particulièrement culotté, même ( et surtout ! ) pour un drama historique dans son rôle de Kim Tae Hyung, pour un magistrat, il se pose là !

Les décors et les costumes sont, comme toujours, juste magnifiques et j'aimerais voir plus de BL qui se passent dans un contexte historique mais un poil plus longs. Je dis un poil car les K-dramas historiques sont souvent assez longs et on y perd en rythme et en intérêt selon moi, peu trouvent grâce à mes yeux à cause de cela ( et du fait qu'il ne se "passe" pas grand chose, mais ça c'est mon envie de croustillance qui ressurgit ! passons ! )

En définitive un bon divertissement que j'ai eu plaisir à regarder.

Maintenant, à vous de vous faire votre avis.

Well, that was underwhelming

This was truly some Wattpad story turned into a low-end BL. The premise itself was actually very good. A BL story set in the Choson era but the end result left me disappointed and wanting. Okay, it doesn't help that I am currently also watching "Word of Honor", so I couldn't help but compare. The "love story" felt mostly just awkward and stiff and the two main leads had no chemistry at all in the beginning, though it improved slightly in the later episodes but only slightly. The story itself got bogged down by unimportant side stories, the dialogues were also not great. All of this is a real problem when each episode is only some 12 minutes long. On the whole, I really felt like watching some really mediocre Wattpad story (not comparing this to AO3 - there are a lot of stories on AO3, which are a ton better than what we see on screen). I am not the biggest fan of Korean BL. So far, absolutely nothing has been able to wow me at all and this new offering won't help me change my mind that there is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to Korean BL.

I loved it

I watched it all in one go and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. It was short, but didnt feel rushed. Ill be watching again for sure. It was so sweet, cute and fun.

Considering the limitations in length and budget that come with a web series, it did an excellent job and was much better than Im used to with similar format shows.

It didnt answer every question about what was a very complicated premise. It didnt wrap up every angle. But it didnt leave me feeling like sth was missing or it was too rushed.

The Joseon Dynasty (Joseon) ruled Korea for more than 500 years before it was overthrown in 1910 by the conquering Japanese. From this minimalist series, it is not clear in which era exactly the story fell, but that is not important in the end.
Anyway, right at the beginning and with the previews, one could have expected a big story, drama, but after the first episode, everything slipped into a mini-form, both in the cast, the length of the episodes and the story itself. Apparently, the creators also struggled with a low budget.
The story, the idea (perhaps even according to reality) excellent, but for the most part unused, the potential that was offered was tons - like not many places, really a pity. But I don't mean to punish the creator.
The main three characters are cast by three stars from other Korean series and projects that are very well rated here on GT - Where Your Eyes Linger (Jang) - sk tit, Mr. Heart (Lee) - series sk tit and movie cz tit by monvi and Wish You II (Kang) - has cz tit by karcikarl, I list the civil nicknames of the actors in parentheses and the actors are also listed in that order on the three-photo in the Pictures folder. I liked Lee - Choi Ki Wan the most in terms of character and acting, who appeared disguised as a woman for 95% of the series.
Extremely pleasant, delicious, but I was impressed by the set, costumes, and sound. I learned how Koreans used to dress, how they lived. Overall satisfaction, BUT ... with a hugely wasted potential of the subject ...
