A história teve alguns furos no roteiro, coisas simples que ficaram no ar, como o relacionamento entre o casal de funcionários por exemplo, a mãe de Shi Lei, pequenos detalhes como esses. Mas a atuação do Aaron e do Hank conseguiram apagar quaisquer resquícios de negatividade dessa série. O plow twist no final explicando a presença do ex do Jin Yuzhen foi um dos pontos altos, uma grata surpresa.O casal principal tem uma química admirável e o Hank com certeza é uma das revelações do ano. O casal secundário além da química, exala fofura e a interpretação dos quatro é excelente.
A história tem uma ost belíssima, atores competentes, é divertida e surpreende em vários momentos. Tem uma dose de mistério e de fogo na medida certa, e agora só me resta torcer ansiosa por uma segunda temporada.

A premissa é clichê, os funcionários não podem ter relacionamentos, morar juntos etc. Não é um BL cheio de reviravoltas, a maior parte do tempo tem um ritmo normal, apenas fica mais rápido nos últimos episódios.Mesmo com as briguinhas do começo, Jin Yu Zhen é bem carinhoso com o Shi Lei, quando cuida dele doente e vice-versa também, realmente senti uma boa química entre eles. Amei o primeiro beijo estilo homem aranha, sinto que foi no momento certo e a estranheza depois, eu gostei, deixou mais natural.
Particularmente adoro quando O pequeno príncipe é citado mais ainda quando há um contexto próprio do casal. Uma curiosidade, o ator Aaron tem uma cicatriz por causa de um grave acidente que quase levou sua vida em 2019, no BL usaram a mesma para acrescentar a estória de Jin Yu Zhen.
Geralmente não gosto quando do nada colocam um ex, mas aqui até gostei já que fez Jin Yu Zhen finalmente segui em frente, ele é até legal, gosto quando os ex são assim, mas realmente não era necessário tantas cenas juntos. Quem vê quer mais cenas dos principais juntos e até mesmo a questão do relacionamento anterior poderia ser resolvido sem isso.
Acho que se tivesse mais episódios o passado do principal poderia ser melhor desenvolvido, até mesmo a relação dos principais e os secundários. Devia ter deixado apenas como clichê fofinho, certo que me surpreendi com as cenas quentes, mas para que colocar sofrência quase no final?
Em resumo gostei, bom para passar o tempo e é leve, foi bem fechado, apesar do casal hétero ser esquecido no churrasco, não entrarei em detalhes sobre partes do roteiro soltas e falas desconexas, já que para mim esse BL cumpriu a minha expectativa no sentido romance, leveza e doçura.
Sobre o especial, já adianto que a maior parte é sobre Jin Yu Zen e o ex, ótimo para quem quiser ver como ele era antes e ver uma pequena interação dos principais e fotos fofas. Mas nada sobre o casal hétero.

Foi um bom drama, mas poderia ter sido melhor
(minha primeira review)O drama tem um bom plot e uma premissa promissora, mas se perdeu em alguns pontos. A história em si não ficou com grandes furos, a maioria dos ciclos iniciados foram fechados e os que não foram, deram indicios de como prosseguiria, o problema com o enredo tá mais no fluxo e com a continuação, o começo foi muito bom mas começou a se perder nos últimos episódios com um angst meio forçado e exagerado, com problemas que seriam facilmente resolvidos. Os defeitos porém na minha percepção acabam por ai, já que a atuação e a química dos casais da série são incríveis e só por isso já valeria a pena assistir mas o drama ainda surpreende pois mesmo com o angst forçado e meio envergonhante em alguns pontos é totalmente divertido e gostoso de assistir, gera boas risadas e você acaba se apegando aos personagens mesmo em um drama tão curtinho, por esses motivos recomendo a todos para assistirem esse drama e terem um bom tempo de diversão, não acho que reassistiria esse drama com tanta urgencia pois dado ao ritmo dos últimos episódios já foi difícil terminar, mas por ser bem curtinho, reassistir esse drama é uma possibilidade que eu não excluo.

UMA DECEPÇÃO
Quando eu decidi ver essa série eu estava ansiosa para ver a dinâmica de chefe e funcionário pois eu amo esse tema para romances, mas a trama num geral é cheia de erros que não me fazem ficar investida nisso.Vamos começar pela atuação geral do elenco, é básico e até mesmo ruinzinho, parecia que ninguém estava fazendo o melhor que podia então tudo parecia artificial na maior parte do tempo.
Falando da história, existe uma regra colocada pelo novo chefe de não namoro na empresa (o que não é o fim do mundo mas estava todo mundo agindo como se o chefe fosse um monstro) então o Shi Lei decide armar um plano para acabar com a regra e durante esse percurso ele se mostra mimado e infantil, assim atrapalhando o desenvolvimento do casal.
A forma petulante que o Shi Lei fala com Jin Yu Zhen é extremamente desrespeitosa e não está criando uma tensão entre os protagonistas (acredito que seja o foco, construir uma tensão sexual ao redor das brigas que servem mascarar os reais sentimentos de um pelo outro mas definitivamente não funcionou, apenas soa irritante), pelo menos os dois são bonitos então não é totalmente desagradável.
Uma nuance interessante é o passado e traumas do Jin Yu Zhen que o faz ser assim tão autoritário e contra romances, mas a forma que abordaram isso foi muito superficial e até boba.
Quando eles finalmente viram um casal eles tem química (a cena erótica prova isso) mas essa química foi mal aproveitada na maior parte da trama e eu não vou nem começar a falar daquele personagem no final que tinha seu próprio plano (não quero dar spoiler), aquilo não me desce e é extremamente manipulativo.
Acho essa série um desperdício de tempo quando temos no mercado coisas tão melhores com a mesma temática.

você aceita?
No final de tudo será se o pequeno príncipe vai ficar com a raposa?De fato a atuação do Aaron sempre foi incrível, sendo para mim a revelação do ano Shi lei(hank wang) que era pra pra participar da historia simplesmente a roubou e fez de Be loved in house uma das melhores series do ano, digo isso sem medo algum. Uma historia muito boa, uma atuação extremamente boa de todo o cast, uma ost bastante boa e isso , a compõe essa serie, todo o conjunto a faz ser totalmente única, algo que com certeza apenas algumas series tem. De todas as propostas que foram feitas, foram bem trabalhadas e todas tiveram muito sucesso muita quimica, muita atuação, misterio bom, foi a dose correta em e para tudo. E caso reste alguma duvida, sim, eu aceito. (espero muito pelo especial hahahahahah)

Just Watch It! (This is long).
This is my very first review, so please bare with me.Story:
Regarding the story there were some plot holes here and there, and I feel like the running time of each episode was poorly used in many occasions, some added things felt unnecessary to the plot as a whole, and some things could've been explained in a better way.
Yes, the pacing...
I love a slow burn romance, the whole enemies-to-lovers trope, but watching this show week by week was actually painful, and not in a 'oh my God, what happens next?' kind of way. It was actually frustrating, and when I thought things were about to pick up, it slowed down completely.
Still, I have to say that I absolutely love the concept of "The Little Prince" involved in this story, and how he falls in love and ends up with the fox.
Acting / Cast:
Let me have my shallow moment...
The first time I saw anything about this series, what called my attention was how attractive both main leads were. They have different vibes, and I think they fit perfectly in what was presented, but the real question is, what about the often mentioned chemistry? Looks are not enough to measure weather there's chemistry between a pair or not.
Jin Yu Zhen is a complicated character, with unresolved and complex feelings, your seemingly stoic, heartless, asshole kind of character right there. I do think Aaron Lai nailed it, especially when we saw the transition of JYZ opening up little by little, showing his true colors.
Honorable mention to the last episode, I felt his desperation all the way through the screen.
Shi Lei is not only someone with that bright, beautiful, dimply smile, I like how he had a personality and how he wasn't afraid to stand his ground no matter what. Hank is a newbie as far as I know, and he did good, I like his acting.
Honorable mention to Shi Lei "coming out" to his mom, that scene was beautiful, and necessary.
So, in conclusion, they do have chemistry, a lot in my eyes, I liked to see how Shi Lei fell for JYZ little by little, how he had an "oh shit" moment, realizing he was caring a lot for him, and how Jin Yu Zhen reciprocated his feelings and cared for him just as much. They had a lot of cliche moments, but I didn't mind it at all. There was tension, and want and longing.
The second couple can be a big hit, or a big miss, sometimes they even steal the spotlight from the main couple, and this time I have to say they were cute and all, but I unfortunately didn't really care for them. There wasn't enough substance, I don't know how to put it better.
Yan Zhao Gang was a good guy, with good intentions and he mostly had some great things to say, the type of guy you go for advice, I like the actor playing him, and I don't think he's bad.
Wu Si Qi on the other hand, was the shy, young and inexperienced guy. Cute? Yes. Still, I don't know, but I cared even less for him, I felt detached. I don't blame it necessarily on the acting, but oh well.
The rest of the cast does the job, I found some of the meant-to-be-funny moments to be actually funny, and I liked their interactions.
Shi Lei's mom has to be mentioned, she was his wingman, the real MVP, a mother who cared for her son's happiness and well-being. It's refreshing to break from the stereotype of a mother who's disappointed, mad or angry, against the fact of her son/daughter being in love with someone of the same sex.
Music:
I love soundtracks, and I have to admit that the "I do, I do, I do" is catchy.
Rewatch Value:
I wouldn't mind re-watching the whole thing now that it ended, maybe it would feel different than watching week by week.
Overall:
I know this review is very mixed, I tried pointing the flaws, but also the good points of this series, at the end of the day all I can say is to each their own, don't let anyone else's opinions and thoughts stop you from watching something, do it, see it for yourself.
For me this series is worth watching, it's simple, it's cute, it's easy, and the end is refreshing.
Hope this helps.

OVER EXAGGERATTING!!!!!
Like I had seen lots of positive reviews of this show and I am glad lots of people are enjoying so do I, but the show has some flaws and we have to point that out like we are not going to ignore them,In terms of acting this show has one of the best cast and Aaron and Hank chemistry is really good and enjoyable, and the side couple is also good doing justice to the show and the side characters is enjoyable, this show is really good and I love how there is a coming-out scene (and that's a fact lots of BL series did not address this important issue) and my favorite scene when Shi Le comes out to his mother and another thing that how Zhen is not suddenly turning gay for one guy he was gay before he met Shi Lei and hats of the director and staff for amazing cinematography and I really enjoyed that and we have just 1 episode is remaining and I will edit this review afterward.
And why did I use this tag is over-exaggerating because of how slow-paced it became and Slow Paced DRAMA are not my cup of tea and like how last 4 episode just have been there with no relationship development so it just became annoying to wait for every Thursday and what do we get silent stares with ending music being "I Do,I DO, I Do" and it just became irritating to the point and on other hands, the side couple became Boyfriends and even make out and on other hand the main lead doesn't have any kissing and we even get a kissing scene with the Ex and the main lead but not with the main couple, and in the end, the story just predictable and became less enjoyable too and for sure in the last episode we get Zhen chasing and Shi le and confessing his feelings and then they will kiss and "I Do, I Do, I Do" and the show will end and the side couple even got married like I already predicted what going to happen in this last episode it exactly happenend what i thought but we got a good chemistry and the last scene was just a chef kiss, but can they both stop dreaming that Zhen thought that Shi loves Zhing and Shi thought that Zhing and Zhen are getting back together, but lets just move on from that and the kiss was really good i can feel their love
So Overall pretty enjoyable drama you can watch it and I love the chemistry it was really natural so it's a big recommendation and I would love to see Aaron and Hank in another show like their chemistry is superb
I really like the coming-out scene and the main lead chemistry
But I am not going to rewatch this slow-paced drama again, I would just watch it s Fan-Made Edit

I've a love-hate relationship with this one
Loves:1. The character, Shi Lei, is such a darling. He's one of those "straight guys" who fall in love with men that are common in BL, but I like how honest and cool he is about it. No silly gay panic moments
2. The cat in the cafe
3. The allusions to The Little Prince
Hates: The sheer wasted potential:
1. First of all, the side couple is really cute together. There are hints regarding Zhao Gang's past (which cause him to be hesitant to commit to a relationship for fear of being hurt), but that's where it stops. The side story could have been more moving and the side couple taken more seriously, but the potential went down the drain.
2, The story of the main couple is also not developed properly. The story actually starts off pretty well. But it fails by the time the fake crisis comes in. It is more than just hinted that Yu Zhen has been through a sad relationship, which serves as the main obstacle between him and Shi Lei. But it just doesn't add up. So he got into a serious accident while trying to get to his boyfriend who was leaving the country, and that was the end of their relationship for some reason. The accident, which is made to seem important, doesn't seem so important in the end. And it is not convincing that this guy would just end up imposing some ridiculous singlehood rule at the workplace.
4. The fake crisis: Yu Zhen's ex-boyfriend suddenly turns up, seemingly to win him back. By the end of Episode 11, however, it is obvious that there isn't time to develop the plot in this direction, so there's only one predictable direction for the plot to take: the ex-boyfriend is really here to help Yu Zhen and Shi Lei get together. I was hoping to be proven wrong, but I wasn't.

Just What you Want it to Be!
Oh heck! I loved this. Some people complain about the pacing being too slow, but that's expressly because one of the main characters has never been in a relationship before and the other main character is coming from a traumatic past. Anything but slow pacing and it would have felt rushed and weird. That being said, the episodes are 25 minutes a piece, so the pace isn't THAT slow. And the evolution of all the relationships is what we come for, yes?The music in this was very, very pretty. The theme song was sweet and the song that played when they are dealing with hard moments was just so bittersweet that it perfectly reflected the mood.
I loved the setting. As an artist myself, seeing a BL set in a designer jewelry studio was so fun. And I also got a kick because when I first saw Aaron on screen, I was pointing and yelling "He looks like an East Asian Superman". And then came the Kryptonian jokes in the plot itself! Ha!
There was a shocking moment for me when I saw Aaron topless I stopped and paused the video because I used to work in the medical profession and I immediately said "That is the best, most realistic scar makeup I have ever witnessed". As the show went on and I got to see the scars from more than one angle, got to see how they pulled, I began to suspect they were real scars. So I looked Aaron up and was amazed to find that prior to the filming of this show he had been in a car accident that nearly killed him. He was in a coma for months. Then rehab. And straight into the filming of this project. In an interview he said that the actor who played Shi Lei was the first person outside of his doctors to ever see his scars and he had been very self conscious about it. So yeah. Wow.
As for the relationship between the main 2 characters, it's awkward and sweet and careful in all the achingly tender ways you might want it to be, without being gooey. Their chemistry is magnetic and immediate. And poor Shi Lei coming out to his mom was the best coming out scene ever. It was so well acted! And really, Aaron did a superb job bringing a quiet, very wounded guardedness to Jin Yu Zhen.
Everyone did a great job. Kudos to the secondary pairings and support cast too. They rounded out the plot and drove it forward at useful moments in a seamless way.
This just took a spot in my top 5 favorites! It does NOT disappoint. Loved the pace. Loved the actors. Loved the story. My only complaint is that there just wasn't enough of it. I would have loved the episodes to have a longer format or for there to have been more of them.

It started off great then fell flat
I was very excited for this show because we were getting another story that wasn't highschool/college centred, and the BL genre needs more shows like that. Initially the series showed great potential but unfortunately it didn't fully deliver. The first half of the series was quite good. It was exciting, the characters were really intriguing and the chemistry between the main couple was excellent. There were some plot holes especially with the Singlehood rule, but they were things that could be looked past.What the show really struggled with was pacing. Initially the slow pacing worked well to tease the audience but eventually it began to drag and felt like the director and writers were trying to stretch 8 episodes of material into 12. The most frustrating part were the main characters, Jin Yu Zhen and Shi Lei who both repeatedly continued to not make a move on each other. It became severely frustrating. Then when the show became uninteresting around the 10th episode, the writers tried to add a new character which initially did bring some interest but the plot continued to get weaker and less interesting.
Okay, so back to what I actually liked about the show? Again Aaron and Hank's chemistry was good and they are both so good looking. The side couples were sort of interesting, but not enough to cover up my frustrations with the main couple. The straight couple didn't really get much screen time but I still liked them and they were funny sometimes. The acting for me was excellent and the production quality was top tier. So I must commend those who were responsible for that.
I believe this series may be more interesting if you binge it. Waiting every week for 25minutes and seeing basically no progress is almost torture.

So much potential, blandly executed
I really enjoyed Just You, the Taiwanese drama this series is based on but unfortunately Be Loved in House: I Do just fell short of my expectations. All the elements were there, an amazing cast, interesting story and great set but the overall feel of the drama was off.The side couple Zhao Gang and Si Qi for instance, got way more screen time than I was expecting. They were super cute, I'd admit, but their relationship was way advanced compared to Yu Zhen and Shi Lei that it made the main couples pacing seem way to slow. Moreover, maybe a bit nit-picky but, Zhao Gangs' café was always empty, and so the scenes filmed there felt awkward and unrealistic, at least to me.
Overall I liked Yu Zhen and Shi Lei's relationship, their chemistry was really good. But, the development between the pair just became tedious to watch, especially because we didn't really get to see them happy together (domesticated lol), I would have loved to see more of that towards the end. Individually though I think they are great characters that were portrayed well, the problems I have are with those directing rather than the actors themselves. Yu Zhen was a perfect blend of stubborn and soft, I loved his story and it was so nice to see Aaron embrace acting again. Shi Lei was super cute, and I loved that he was also able to be strong and lets face it, a bit cunning when he needed to be! Also, I loved Shi Lei's relationship with his mum and how accepting she is of him, and Yu Zhen was so adorably accommodating to her when she stayed with them.
Honestly, I would have liked to see more of Xiao Qian and Jing's relationship, because they added so much to the plot, I'm not a fan of BL's glazing over the straight couples interactions but hey, it is what it is!
I don't think Yu Zhen's ex really added much to the story, this is where the plot differs from Just You if I remember correctly and there are definitely other ways the main couples relationship could have developed. Saying that, it was the only surprising part of the story, so I appreciate it for this aspect at least.
I also didn't like the overuse of the theme tune, it got a little tiring after a while.
I'd say, go into this one not expecting much and then you'll be pleasantly surprised because even though the pacing is slow, both couples (Yu Zhen and Shi Lei and Zhao Gang and Si Qi that is) have amazing chemistry and there are some interesting twists and turns along the way!
