This has been my favorite BL drama and one of my top 5 dramas overall of 2023 so far!
If you like BLs, which make you smile, and you can care about the characters in them, then this is a great one for 2023, and it has adults, not high school or college students.
One bone to pick, though...the characterization of "Won Young tries to curry favor by tracking down the chairman's favorite artist" is super inaccurate. He locates him entirely by accident after breaking a plate his vacation host had purchased from the artist. He doesn't even recognize him at first.
Now, on to my early review :)
It doesn't have the heat of a series like Bed Friends (at least not yet, but I don't expect it to develop into that either). It's a slow burn but a really sweet storyline compared to others, and I have totally fallen for the main characters and even care about what happens with the relationship between the two supporting characters. It just started, and I have been eagerly waiting for the next two episodes to be released on iQIYI later today.
I'm fairly picky and often find myself much more drawn to Thai BL selections, but I have watched the 4 episodes available so far a total of 7 times in sequence.
The actors are awesome, and the balance between cute, sweet, serious, and dramatic interactions and solo screenwork is delightful. I find the locations used in filming beautiful in their simplicity and very calming. This is not an edge-of-your-seat Kinn Porshe-style drama or a crush-your-heart-into-pieces Until We Meet Again-style drama. It's just a feel-good value of a simple accidental love story with some CEO-driven, get-my-job-back manipulation coming from a character that is a genuinely good (maybe a bit dim) person and his slowly developing feelings for the man he is trying to kind of manipulate/spy on, get close to. Even so, I expect the revelation scenario to be a hiccup at best.
I suffer from high anxiety and depression, and I love the boost of serotonin and the feeling of calm happiness that comes with each new episode and rewatching of old episodes. This show is currently one of the most effective happy places for me, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Final note: I also really love the Fallen For U ost.
