One thing I love about Korean BLs is that they break out of the norm of how queer love stories should look like and make it much more than just acceptance or coming out or anything stereotypical attached to queer cinema.

"The Director Who Buys Me Dinner" also does something similar. It takes a storyline filled with fantasy and angst and adds queer characters into the mix. Imagine "The Tale of Nine Tailed" with MLM leads in it.

But despite this you are left with wanting much more. Knowing the fact that the production value of BL dramas in Korea is much lesser compared to mainstream ones, this is kind of expected. But with a short span of episodes and with a taut storyline it is possible to be done. Something like Semantic Error also came out of a very long Webtoon adaptation so why not expect the same from this too?

Nonetheless, this is fun to watch. The adorable factor of the series sticks around and the acting also does justice to it ( maybe next time kiss a little bit more erm passionately, the love didn't feel emanating from those kisses ). Watch it for a fun ride and for a relaxing watch.
