Full of fluff and laughter

I do not know why this was rated so low. I thought it was due to either poor characters, writing, but no, it's perfectly fine. As in, it's a very optimistic view - well more far fetched but I'm here to get out of touch of reality - of marrying a stranger. Especially from a dating app. As you know, there can be creeps but thankfully this doesn't even touch that. Not even the slightest. It's fluff pure on fluff which I love especially of a what if scenario that while may very foolish to some, it has a chance to work and it did. I laughed and smiled watching this. That's all I could ask for since I don't want to see misunderstandings turn to tears. I'm in my 30s, I don't need to see the hard parts of life anymore. I get it and I've went through them even. I just want a piece of happiness and boy did this deliver.

Let's get to the nitty gritty.

Story: It's very rare to find a couple whom works in the same company and in different departments. However, the reasons they do marry are real: he doesn't want his mom to worry about him living alone and for her, she wants to marry after a break up due to a cheating fool. I don't give cheaters second chances and she thankfully tells him off when the shows for a little bit at the start and then thankfully disappears after that. Praise be! The couple then finds themselves at crossroads of the simplest and big things for a couple. I won't say what, but trust me when I say this: if you want to see a nice short series of people willing to talk out things, then watch this. It's a breath of fresh air that is so refreshing.

Don't watch for the drama, it has a sprinkle of it and that's it since it doesn't drag on and on. All speed bumps are solved in a very realistic manner which I appreciate and thankful for. That isn't to say it's done quickly, it's done *right*.

Acting/Cast: The two leads have incredible chemistry to where I could get numerous cavities and the steamy scenes (they show no nudity) are very well done. The kisses sometimes are awkward but not to the point where they're tense. Rest of the cast are real and the acting was great, though I did want some more reactions of when the leads eventually told their coworkers about being married.

Music: It was so good that it didn't distract me and that says a lot for me. It fit the mood where it needed to, couldn't get better than that.

Rewatch Value: Heckin yes I will rewatch this later on the road whenever I need a sweet fluff love story pick-me-up.

Tl;dr: Watch for the fluff, don't expect much drama. Fantastic chemistry between the leads and a lovely - even if far fetched - plot. Sometimes we need a feel good short series.

Awww!

This is during the times with strict guidelines during COVID in Taiwan (which is noted through each timeframe of the day, really loved this transition: it's simple and it works). That's all i wanted, a sweet happy show. I'm so tired of angst and full blown drama.

You want a pick me up? Look no further.
You want ultra fluff? You got it. There is a slight moment of where it doesn't get fluffy due to...reasons, but it's realistic reasons. Mostly fluff though which I love to bits.
You want realistic & 3 dimensional characters? Your wish is granted
You want a sweet ending? Enough to give all your teeth cavities oh my god. There's many short videos after that they play after the "ending" and it's just - it makes me so happy.

All of that mixed into one. I never thought I needed it.

Yes it's short but it's done right. So right that I'm not even mad about how short it is!

The camera work is very real with the ways that many had to use video calls to keep in touch during COVID.

The best, hands down.

This is still so good, this is what I recommend to anyone wanting to ease into BL. This is BL done right, DONE HEALTHY TOO might I add without the toxic bs that is unfortunately rampant in so many still to this day.

I've rewatched this many times and realized I never gave a review. So, here it is. I've been reading and watching BL content for many years and like I said before, the genre is chalk full of shitty stories, shitty characters, and shitty so called "love stories" that is inhumane with little respect.

The cast is amazing, the music is perfect, the story is - well, the cherry on top. Gone are the days where you go "Oh no he's gonna force himself on him" and then be met with disappointment. Not one scene with non-con nor dub-con which is already pushing the bar higher than many and should be a standard already at this point. No more forcing oneself onto the other, it's all respect here between the two and it's refreshing. If you know, you *know* what I'm talking about. This is a world of sweet and caring love and I am here for it!

Give it a go, even if it's not your thing. There's nothing naughty to worry about either for those who don't prefer it (I honestly don't mind it).

Hilarious!

I love rom coms especially when they're done right. This? While draggy at times in story wise, is still so good. I was hooked from the first episode. I'm a sucker for the "let's fool them into thinking you're the worst with me doing it" and then all hell breaks lose.

Want a pickme up? Watch this.
Want to laugh your head off? Watch this.
Want to also cry? Watch this.

Get your popcorn ready since it was what it was made for to watch two actors so like their characters that I forgot I was watching a show at some point and felt like another person in their life.
