Some nice scenes but poor writing

The story is very weak and the actors managed to keep me watching till the end however there was some poor acting, a lot of cheesy/cringe scenes. This drama doesn't really take itself seriously and makes you wonder why they chose this story. I watched this because of the 'don't say no' actors but this show really didn't suit them. It seems rushed, poorly written and badly acted in places. It gets worse as the series goes on which is a real shame as the actors have potential.

The story is so weak you can miss a few episodes and it doesn't matter, there's too much filler and unnecessary scenes this could have been a much shorter drama.

Beautiful non toxic story to warm your heart

The casting is on point and the height difference between the two leads is really cute. This drama goes through a range of moments, the bullying scenes are done very well and really make you feel for Seo Hae Bom as he goes through alot at the beginning. Its lovely to see the progression and how the romance develops. It is natural and the kissing scenes, although there are not many, are wonderful.

South Korean dramas have really come a long way in terms of BL. They have matured and taken the next step into becoming one of the best places to find BL dramas that are quality and deliver realism and a beautiful romance that BL lovers crave.

The dynamic between the two leads was lovely and even made me cry when Jo Tae Seong protected Hae bom from the bully. Seeing Hae bom cry was heartbreaking as the actor did an amazing job at showing his emotions for the character. The story could have been deeper and more developed but what we have is still lovely and heartwarming. They do not have too many struggles as a couple that are shown which could have been improved on. The music was also nice but could have been better and more memorable. Overall, you should defiantly give this BL a watch.

Beautiful romance with amazing actors

This show is very beautiful both zee and nunew are fantastic and show real emotion and have a believable romance that is beautiful. The love scenes are some of the best I have ever watched with consent and a lovely soundtrack, they are very sweet and extremely romantic. There is nothing toxic about this series.
It is wholesome and has some sad moments but they are resolved. I am in love with this series, It is so perfect and rewatchable because of the beautiful story that breaks stereotypes with an arranged gay marriage which is the first of its kind I have seen in a drama. You will love this if you want to see a beautiful drama with sensual love scenes and wholesome relationships with great chemistry! The main couple and side couples are lovely to watch as they progress in their relationships and begin to trust each other. This is my top series of 2022 so far.

Was fun till the last episode

The last episode was terrible, he plans to study abroad on a whim to escape his family and then still goes and leaves Yai who has experienced pain of his mother dying and him being alone. he could have done the masters in Thailand. this ruined the romance for me.

Am I supposed to think its sweet when he prematurely returns and says he dosen't want to complete the rest of the degree? This just shows how it didn't mean much to him anyway and he should have just not done it to begin with. TRASH

It has a wonderful soundtrack but is triggering to watch. very dissapointed.

Sweet drama about dealing with introvert+extrovert relationships and misunderstandings

The casting was really good as both actors suit their roles well. The series is interesting as it shows an introverted persons struggles with wanting to fit in and find love but due to his negative experience this becomes difficult. His neighbour 'God' is very sweet and extremely understanding, he never pushes diaw too far out of his comfort zone and is a gentle and loving boyfriend. It is lovely to see introverted people get some representation in a more positive light.

The problems with the show are the misunderstandings, I dont mind when shows have misunderstandings but i think it could have been handled better here. The misunderstanding was due to lack of experience in relationships which is understandable and also emotional maturity. They should have portrayed Gods character as sharing more about his background first before he complains about diaw not sharing his. This part could have been written better but overall its a good show and worth a watch. Its sweet and heart-warming.

Another take on the Dark/Toxic romance BL genre

Ming is Extremely toxic at the beginning of the drama which is difficult to watch as you know the main leads will end up together anyway. Despite this and the fact he uses Joe for his own benefit and claims ownership over joe instead of loving him as a person. Somehow the Drama manages to turn this all around by the end part and show us people can can make mistakes, even toxic ones that have serious consequences and still be able to turn things around. I am not going to defend Ming, he is a strange individual with many privileges that allow him to get what he wants but still is able to come across as sexy and complicated, leaving you wanting to understand him.

Joe is such a sweetheart and experiences many unfortunate events but just wants to be loved, look after his mother and maintain a stable career and relationship. He has a heart of gold and luckily is able to break into Ming's cold exterior.

The show is exciting and thrilling to watch nonetheless. Both lead actors are brilliant in their roles, showing maturity, complex emotions and believable romance scenes. I will defiantly watch both actors in other dramas.

Exciting, Thrilling, spicy and toxic.

I love this drama despite the toxicity, Its ok to watch as long as you recognise these aspects of the drama for what they are and don't try and justify it for other reasons. Type is toxic due to his past however this does not forgive his behaviour.

The forced cohabitation is interesting and brings up some fun scenarios that they have to work alone or together to overcome their own worries and prejudices towards each other. It is defiantly an interesting show with very few dull moments.

The ending plot twist is traumatic to say the least and didn't need to go that far. If I rewatch it I always skip the end parts because omg the villain character is terrible and really nasty.

Fun series, good acting, main couple is fun to watch.

Was a good series with the plotline but the only thing I was not to happy with was the brothers relationship, this was uncomfortable to watch and so was the r*pe scene. This was just not good for a 2021 series and writers should have progressed from this.

It still makes another good HIStory series installment but one of the weaker ones. The plot could have been better if there were more events but it was still a fun watch. I hope there are more HIStory series in the future. Both leads were fun to watch and there was some comedy and one spicy scene which were acted really well. The music was not memorable, it was pretty average.

Super cute!

This is a really sweet and light hearted series with no over the top dramatic breakup etc. The two ML actors are great in everything they do and pair up really well. If you want something on the lighter side that still has romantic scenes and kissing with funny moments then try this. The cooking elements of the show are fun and I have grown to like these types of show. We defiantly need more light-hearted softer shows like this to contrast the more dramatic shows currently airing such as pit babe. Even though the trend is becoming more towards dramatic and sexualised content, shows like this still have their place and help cheer us up.

Very romantic with fun beauty and the beast vibes

I am aware that there are plot holes and certain things that there is no way the FL or ML should have been able to get away with such as:
-The fake pregnancy and miscarriage
-ML somehow being able to pretend to be two people and no one suspects why his day time role randomly shows up and has a close position to the queen to be.
-The FL gets away with many behaviours that would not have been accepted such as the auction of peoples items (gloves and mask) and the attempt to get the King (ML) a haram so she can love Li Xiong (also ML) .

However this is a fantasy with light hearted elements, there are some lovely and adorable moments such as:
-Second couple are really sweet in their 'will they wont they' dynamic.??
-The second FL is adorable. ??
-The ML is great in changing his voice for both roles and does actually look different which is believable even if you have seen both his human and beastly form.
-The scenes where the main leads save each other in ep 11 and following are really romantic and well shot. I love the way he grabs her and pulls her round to block the weapon.??

I was surprised at how good and addicting this is by the rating but it really is good, just excuse the lighter and silly elements however I loved these parts especially the statue scenes of David and when he is replaced by a present of a similar statue of the king ????

The villain takes front and center

The show has romantic and dramatic elements, good fight scenes and the right amount of suspense. The main leads despite having a large age gap, have good chemistry and leave you wanting more.

The story however, starts out with focus on the main couple and then fizzles out and all the focus moves onto the villain and he's not even a good villain, his backstory and motives are not compelling and its just sad that the director chose to focus the drama on him. The rest of the show is still worth a watch since the setting and characters, especially situ and Jin Jing Xue
are interesting.

The main couple could have been so much more, they have amazing potential and their actors did a great job but it seems their talent was wasted as scenes were cut for censorship and the director cares more about the dumb villain character/third ML. He might as well be the main character and not bother with the main couple since it seems the director wanted this all along. He's a very flawed character with dumb decision making skills.

Its such a shame because the drama is beautifully shot with a fantastic soundtrack and costumes, main leads are brilliant and compelling. The director made a huge mistake with his focus on this one.

normalising sex work?

After watching the first 4 episodes the acting is good etc however I cannot deal with the story. The main lead is not accepting the his bf is basically doing a form of sex work aka using his body to get paid with love bites, touching etc. This just does not seem appealing and also seems to be trying to normalise this kind of sex work/ host bars that can be very problematic for the host. Wela comes from a good background and does not need to do this work. His bf is also rich so why does he keep doing it. Why cant he get into just performing at the club instead of doing the host work. I'm just not enjoying this type of content.
