The Circumstances of Pungdeok Villa Room 304 (2022)

「『時として、許しあうこと』がそもそもの罪だ」

諦めもついた

帰ろうか
思い出も全部ここに置いて
ここで泣けるシーンが来た数だけ
ほら
忘れ物してんだって

時が過ぎとも
「それ」は切れぬ、碇となる

忘れていいよ
忘れていいよ
でもね、そう
辛い時は
立ち止まって

泣いてもいいぜ


De nuevo, I dont think korean bls are my cup of tea but at least I enjoyed this one more than the last one.
TE AMO JIWOONG que hot que es ñom ñom y el otro tambien muy cute me hizo acordar a peat de LITA pero con los dientes arreglados no se su nombre asi que a ti te llamare pseudo-peat
Nada aber perhaps es el hecho de que los caps duraban 30 min en vez de 15 como otros bls coreanos y asi lo pude disfrutar mas? Me gusto la trama, me gusta la pareja los dos son muy tiernos y a pesar de que estoy un poco harta de los bls de oficina me da ternura como estan juntos en el trabajo a escondidas owo
Mi unica queja (creo) es que me parecio re fuera de personaje que pseudo-peat haya decidido irse a la mierda cuando se entero de que jiwoong era el hijo del presidente? siendo un tipo tan logico fue raro que no le haya preguntado sobre el tema, pensaria que inventaron un conflicto innecesario just for funsies PERO debo admitir que toda la secuencia de jiwoong triste porque pseudopeat se fue me rompio el corazon :( cuando finigia demencia de que habia renunciado y decia que estaba de vacaciones aaaaaaaaa y todos los recuerdos que tenia de el en la ufi, en la casa, etc. debe ser re complicado perder a alguien con quien tenes tantos recuerdos vividos en los espacios que aun habituas. which btw me hubiese gustado que muestren mas cosas de ellos juntos siento que fueron 3 escenas locas.
Also me molesto lo estupido que era pseudopeat con su compa de secundaria igual a jiwoong tambien le molesto asi que thats it
ALSO a pesar de que pseudopeat mintio cuando dijo que no se bancaba mas a jiwoong porque compartian casa + laburo, siento que es algo bastante realista que a cualquiera le podria pasar,,, y al final estan juntos ok todo bien pero ahora trabajan EN CASA los dos juntos en un 2 ambientes sabes que dejaaaa

It's a good series to watch.

I love the two main actors so much and i had a great time watching it. I'm looking forward to their next project together.

I like the storyline of this series. I will definitely rewatch it again. Main characters are both handsome .

So this comment is going to be really fresh because I just finished watching this drama and honestly it had everything that I like in Korean BL dramas. I love when one of the main characters is really cute but also charismatic at the same time. I liked the chemistry even tho I usually don't really like dramas about a romans between a boss and an employee but honestly I'm starting to kinda love them. And um the kiss in the last ep??? I'm used to really soft and short Korean Bl dramas cause I didn't watch them for like a few months but I'm pleasantly suprised and happy that recently we're getting much better and longer series because I was tired of watching dramas that had like 8 episodes 10 minutes each. So for me it was a perfect cute drama but still a bit to short :( 10/10

A Very Enjoyable Watch

Although the story concept isn’t new, it was very funny. The script was the right mix of comedy and drama. I wish the script for Rak Diao was more like this. I found the pacing to be just right for an 8-episode series. The actors were also great portraying their characters. The only down side is the music was not that rememberable. However, it was used effectively to set the mood of the scenes. I would rewatch this again to help left up my mood after an excessively dramatical series.

Random Note:
The description on Viki is not completely accurate, which is nothing new. The description on MDL also not the greatest.

I like the silent nod (papercut incident) to the lead actors’ previous series.

it's simple and lovely

IT'S SO FUCKING CUTE AND SILLY AND LOVELY AND EVERYTHING TO MEEEE.

I love it when a series it's silly. They know they are silly. And they do a great job of being silly and proud to be silly. And they are very proud.

It's not a deep plot, it's actually a cliché. Enemies to friends to lovers, and it's cute and funny! I liked how even with just 8 episodes with 30 minutes each, they are actually developed. Not only as a couple but as individuals too.

And, the acting was so on point. Seobin (Jaeyoon) and Jiwoong (Hojoon) are really good actors, and their chemistry is amazing.

And ofc, I have to say: THE KISS???????? OMG that was a kiss. A very kissy kiss. Hojoon was hungry. Damn...

Sometimes, less is more. And it's exactly why Roommates of Poongduck 304 is so good: It's simple, but they work with what they have. They didn't try to make it look like something grand, it's just simple. And way too good.

Very good show

There were many things to enjoy about this show. If you've watched a good share of Korean BLs before, you might recognize the two main characters of Kissable Lips. This show doesn't have a supernatural theme (thankfully?) and I believe it was developed much more nicely, both in terms of plot and in terms of character growth.

- The trope that starts off this drama is the forced proximity, which is a personal favorite. Most of the story revolves around their work days in the company, and (surprise!) they ACTUALLY WORK. It might sound absurd to be surprised about it, but for some reason it's hard to find office romance series where the main characters actually work instead of just flirting with each other all the time, especially if one of them is a rich and spoiled chaebol.
- The plot is actually interesting. We don't just see the characters randomly growing fond of each other: they actually get to know about each other's personal struggles and private lives, they support each other at work and outside of it, and most importantly they clash with their personal ideas while also reflecting on themselves to change for the better. The fact that they're a team manager and an employee might make it sound like there's an overwhelming power imbalance, but the writers were able to make a very healthy and balanced couple out of these two. Loved to see it.
- The acting, the set, and the photography were pretty good. It didn't have the feeling of one of those huge, high-budget dramas, but I felt like the production team poured a lot of work and care into it.
- The relationship dynamics were pretty good. The chemistry between the two main leads was excellent (maybe the fact that they starred in another drama together in the past helped with it?), but I also liked to see Ho Jun with his father and the secretary, Jae Yoon and his friend/crush, the two of them with their team mates. The atmosphere was always lively and all the characters are likeable, I never felt bored.
- The changes in the characters from the beginning to the end of the series were blatant, but their build-up was SO. WELL. DONE. They become a lovely couple without leaving me wondering how did it happen, nor did it ever feel like their character development was out of place.

- There is a flaw in the plot, which is an overused plot device that lots of series (especially Korean BLs) use toward the end for a bigger dramatic effect. I'm not going to say what is it since I don't want to spoil anything, but I feel like this is what made me rate the series with a 9 instead of 10.

In conclusion, I really have to recommend this one. It might not be one of the best BLs ever, but it was cute and fun to watch, and also so well done under many aspects that it would be a shame to skip it.

Mature script for the most part, cute cast, solid acting

Mature script for the most part, cute cast, solid acting. This is one of the more mature BL's I have seen. And I greatly appreciated it. It had a small bit of silliness and just sophisticated acting. Cute couple. I appreciate not having to deal with the usual Shenanigans.

The story is typical with the rich guy/ poor guy romance drama, who work in the same office and someomhow see each other all the time. I'm ready for a new Troup. I am pleased that I watched this tough. The actors did well. Shows of affection were very soft and I still liked it. That's saying something.

Great to watch just for laughs and cuteness!!!

It was awesome

The story is funny and simple, there was a small cast which is great, not too many names to remember. It definitely gave K-drama feels. Not cringy to me at all.

I watched Kissable lips and the ending made me sad. This series was a great way of paying me back for that!! It was funny, cute, and warm. Lately, it seems like there's an "if you don't cry it's not a good series" theme going on, and sorry but sometimes I just want to laugh and enjoy the series. It doesn't have to be serious all the time. This was a great series for me. I hope they do more together their chemistry was great.

if only there was MORE

PRODUCTION:
was STELLAR. i loved how everything looked, how everything was shot, how everything sounded. a couple of odd camera angels here and there were off. but this one of my favorite music in bls - the ost is something i have had on repeat and i love it. i kinda wish there was a movie version so i could use that to rewatch rather than the whole series tho...

STORY:
is it kinda bare? a little. i wish we had ONE more episode because the pacing kinda goes a little too fast at the end. and the timeline can be a little messy. it seems like they were together for maybe a day when they had their conflict with jae yoon ignoring ho joon - but then we get a flashback scene where they are super domestic? its a little confusing. if they had just one more episode to establish the relationship i would've appreciated it. but the dialogue is beautiful especially in the makeup scene that was so poetic omg.

CHARACTERS / ACTING:

jae yoon (yoon seobin) was such a joy - compared to his role on kissable lips he has so much more to work with. he was funny and delightful - but he still had this innocence around him that was very cute. his drunk scenes were my favorite and i love his snarkiness and how he was eventually able to stick up for himself. he was absolutely my favorite.

ho joon (kim jiwoong) was stellar as well. this rich boy role was so fun for him. and i cried when he cried 😢 - his character progression was so wonderful i enjoyed every second. plus - again the makeup scene was so great.

if you thought like i did that the only thing even remotely good about kissable lips was the chemistry between seobin and jiwoong then this series turns that up by 11. the enemies->lovers was so much fun and im usually not the biggest fan of those storylines. the domestically with them is so sweet and adorable. they were like high school sweethearts almost. and the ending scene??? oof omg why did they cut out most of that?? they were just amazing together on and off screen they have wonderful chemistry. i want them to work together again in the future SO badly. they are one of my favorite duos for sure.

overall i love this series - i had a few pacing issues but im for sure going to be picking up this series again. and consider if you like kim jiwoong to support him on boys planet!!

Une très belle surprise

Une perle inattendue.
Je n'ai pas regardé ce drama par hasard, mais je ne m'attendais pas non plus à l'aimer à ce point-là.

Première chose, le drama est hilarant, ça faisait longtemps que je n'avais pas ri autant dans une série, a fortiori dans une série BL. Le personnage de Ji Ho Joon est tordant, les scènes le faisant intervenir, du moins au début, sont du pur comique de situation, et ses confrontations avec Seo Jae Yoon un bonheur absolu.

Ensuite les acteurs. On retrouve Kim Jiwoong et Yoon Seobin après Kissable Lips et j'avais un petit espoir de voir la première paire coréenne telle qu'elles peuvent exister en Thaïlande, mais Jiwoong a décidé de suivre son rêve et je ne peux que lui souhaiter le meilleur tout en espérant qu'il ne tire pas un trait sur son travail d'acteur, notamment BL. Pourquoi ? Parce que ces deux-là ont une complicité rarement vue dans le cadre du BL coréen. Si ROP fonctionne si bien, c'est bien grâce à leur talent et à leur alchimie.

La réalisation : la série, comme tous les BL coréens, est très courte et se voit très facilement. Et pourtant, les épisodes sont pleins, bien découpés, les personnages étonnamment bien dessinés et complexes. L'utilisation de la caméra et de la photo est recherchée et plaisante. La série dans son ensemble est intéressante dans sa réalisation et n'est pas abandonnée à sa seule dimension BL. Le rythme est soutenu et il y a peu, voire pas, de scènes inutiles.

Je conseille par ailleurs d'écouter l'OST, chantée notamment par Jiwoong et Seobin, qui accompagne parfaitement la série. Les MV sont sympathiques à regarder (enregistrement et coulisses).

En définitive, ROP est une excellente surprise. Si tout n'est pas parfait (scénario et rebondissements un peu attendus), il reste une série de qualité, des acteurs et un couple surprenants d'évidence, et un énorme sourire à la fin.

HISTÓRIA FÁCIL DE SER ASISSTIDA

Essa é uma comedia romântica gostosa e fácil de ser assistida, ótima para passar o tempo.
Ela começa muito bem e avança de forma ok mas no final algumas coisas me deixaram desanimada.
1° Quando um tem correr atrás do outro porque simplesmente conversar sobre o que ele havia descoberto parecia que estava fora de questão (atitude extremamente infantil e desgastante)
2° Quem abre mão de ser herdeiro? Essa demonização do dinheiro e status me incomoda
3° Parece que eles tinham mais química antes de namorarem
Enfim, é uma boa série mas não está entre as minhas favoritas.
