Why R U? Korean Remake (2023)

Why r u so short?

The biggest flaw of Korean BLs is their lenght. They put a lot of stuff on the table but don't take the right time to develop anything.
The scenes pass from one to the other without a real connection just to speed up the plot and that's a real shame. I hope to see a 16-episode K-BL soon with episodes lasting at least 45 minutes like classic kdramas.
If you have already watched the thai version you can't help making comparaisons and, even though the basic story is the same, there are a lot of differences in managing the plot that almost make of them two completely different series. The lack of sexual tension in the Korean version is balanced by the astonishing acting when it comes to showing the feelings.
While I watched the thai version only for Tutor/Fighter storyline, in this Korean version I enjoyed Jung Lee Won story the most because it felt like the K versions of Zon and Saifah did justice to their relationship and somehow filled the gaps of the thai plot.

loved itt

I loved this drama..it's short and sweet...I'm not fan of very long dramas so this one was a short a plus for me
first of all I haven't watched the original so idk if this one has covered everything from the original drama..but if it did cover everything then hatss off to the maker of this drama since wrapping everything up within 8 eps that too like 20 mins each is no easy jobb

the actors were all nice...the story development was nice as well...just before this I watched "the director who buys me dinner" i didn't like it since it felt rushed and offered no development...while this one being almost the same length as the director who buys me dinner offered great development and the romance also didn't felt like it was just there for fansercice...the kisses ahhhhh gave me butterflies ahhh

but one thing to complain about is..the second couple like I like them but it just felt weird..like sunwoo says he can't date GO because GO is dating dohyeon but at the same time he also kisses him???? like doesn't makes sense...I didn't like that u don't kiss ur best friends mann bruhhh

Fun!!!

I didn't have high expectations for this series because of my own pre-judgment of few episodes with multi-couple but this turned out to be a fun watch. I bursted out laughing at scenes I didn't expect to be funny at all. Jung Lee Won (JLW) and Kim Ji Oh (KJO) truly delivered their roles quite good. I didn't see the chemistry at first but my mid series, I realized I was looking forward to more scenes of them.

Woo Soon Woo and Ko Yoo Kyeom is the cute couple doing a more serious tone in characters. Although KYK made my head spin with his relationship with his GF and then his response when WSW confessed to him, I stuck with it to get a better understanding of his character. (You gotta watch to see why it confused me. You will see it clearly). I hope it wasn't lost in the translation.

The production did pretty good with wardrobe and sets considering this to be a low budget series. Unlike other series, you wouldn't see same wardrobe for different scenes.

I would recommend this for any BL series lover. Fujoshis will have a fun time watching this series. This Korean version is my most favorite one.

Just what I needed

Starting off it’s an absolute watch! I watched the Thai version and had no idea they had made a Korean remake. Absolutely love it btw incase I haven’t made that clear yet lol. My thoughts on the Thai version was that it was crazy long and drawn out. Usually I have beef with kbls and their short ass episodes and time length but I will say it really worked this time around. I liked the second Male lead a lot better but the first male lead couple was also a good choice! There were a lot of times as I was watching one of the male leads and all I could think of was that dude looks crazy similar to Jay from Enhypen lol. I was like hold up *insert skull emoji.” Anyways I haven’t laughed out loud to a drama in general in a hot second so this was such a nice short drama. It’s nothing serious and outstanding but it is like me little baby now hahahaha. I’m also writing this review with little no sleep because I in fact could not go to bed without binge watching it but nevertheless. Yes you should watch it!

Cute but missed the mark quite a bit

I really enjoyed the cast choices - I think they're all pretty & cute, especially Do Yeon and the sister (was her name Yu Jin?). Their acting was a bit...plain, and it felt emotionless, to be honest. It also was serving early BL -misunderstands relationships between people and intense internalized homophobia until the last ten minutes- the whole way through. I wish more had happened, but the episodes were so short that not much *could* happen. I will say, though, compared to other Korean BLs, the kissing in this one was actually pretty legit. They kissed like regular people rather than giving fish lips. So, a plus on that. Beyond that, not much substance here to comment on.

Fantastic chemistry with questionable story progress

A good one for a remake. They did better than the original drama based on Thailand. This Korean version is more cute, light, and fun. As usual, casting actors with eye-candy visuals add more excitement to the audience. The main casts nailed their character by executing an incredible and appealing chemistry. At first, it was too bland not until they became intimate with each other. Both couples delivered impressive kissing scenes that were too aggressive and soft at the same time. I lost count of how many times I kept replaying their kissing scenes -one of the best executions in a Korean BL.

Yet, despite all the good factors, it is hard for me to confidently give it a higher score as it has flaws that are too obvious not to ignore. The sequence of scenes felt too rushed, skipping from one scene to another without a proper explanation of the whole details of each scenario. Fast-phased it feels like they are cutting a lot of scenes and the ending is not beautifully made for a conclusion of a drama. The actors saved the show from at least having a decent overall score in general.

Simple Korean BL.

I think it's a cute romance, I enjoyed following the two couples. The plot is rather simple, it's boys trying to conquer their crush. The acting is good but nothing incredible either, the Korean actors have difficulty getting above awkwardness when it comes to physical touches while they excel in emotional delivery (I hope the Korean BL industry will continue to grow until we can have full fledged series). I would have liked it to explore more in length if only the episodes were allocated 10 minutes more, without a lengthy intro and epilogue.

I think that to pass the time without hassle, it's ideal.

Small downside, the editing of certain scenes are confusing, sometimes I was wondering if it was a scene imagined by our protagonists, dreams or simply reality because certain characters switch behaviors very quickly.

THE REMAKE IS ACTUALLY GOOD

- I LIKED this remake so far because it's actually quite different from the original version. Although it's the same plot but they changed it and made it more Korean. I didn't like the first couple on the original but I love them here on the remake. Their bickering is actually funny instead of being annoying. About the second couple, they are the best in both versions. Lastly, I like the production and visuals of this series more than the original, this one is more like classic and I absolutely love old/darker effects on the drama.
- What I DISLIKE about are the editing and facing of the scenes, sometimes I feel like it some scenes was rushed.
- OVERALL, this is pretty good when you think they only have small budget for this series.

1000/10⭐️ WHY R U such a perfect BL

I have seen many BL dramas but none of them were THIS GOOD… The chemistry between them, the kissing scenes ahhh.., the romance was romancing and the comedy was funny every single time.. I loved Jung Lee Won’s sister (Jung Lee Jin) she made me laugh every second of her screen time her acting is amazing.
The couples fitted perfectly into their roles and I didn’t have a preference on which couple I liked more because their were evenly good at it so I enjoyed it 100% of the time, not a single boring or cringe moment.
I really hope for season 2 because this now my #1 BL. 1000/10⭐️
