Wasted potential
This started great tbh. The premise was nice. The old enemies to friend to lovers trope. The acting was great, ost was great and chemistry between the leads was also great. So why does this has such a low rating. The pacing, story and logic is all over the place. First, this series is so slow, I for one like it better because I watched it late and could watch it all at once but to be one of those people that had to wait for a new episode every week, I would have seriously dropped it. The problem that existed in the first episode became a problem till the last episode. They drag the problem of the main lead for too long. They made them become a couple till the last fucking episode and they thought that they could make up with us with a sex scene lol. I am thirst but not that thirsty to turned a blind eye to ridiculousness. Now the logic with this series or actually main lead makes no fucking sense. So there is rule that there should be no office romance. Stress on the OFFICE pls cause this mf thought that he has the right to ban an romance, doesn't matter if the person they are dating is an employee or not. The lead thinks that he can make them single forever lol logic where? Also the thing that I fucking hated the most was that they did not made the main leads a couple at the end of the episode but they also had the fucking audacity to make Yu Zhen and his ex have more chemistry and couple scenes than Shi lei do in the entire series. This was my breaking point of actually thinking positive about this series. But despite the terrible story and plot pacing. It did manage to make me entertained, laugh and smile at the main leads chemistry. But ehh, another series ruined by terrible pacing. The only reason the rewatch value is high since the main leads chemistry is cute and there were a lot of shirtless scenes and the everyone is attractive.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Mejor que un simple cliché
El planteo es bastante simple pero muy bien elaborado, ya que el argumento principal acompaña siempre a los personajes y a la historia, y permite que su amor no caiga por completo en el cliché, ya que el ambiente laboral y la regla única le dan el toque distintivo a esta serie, que a mí parecer, está muy bien hecha y me gustó mucho.La pareja principal es muy valiosa principalmente por el desarrollo que va permitiendo vislumbrar poco a poco la aparición de sus sentimientos con escenas de lo más dulces y absorbentes, la ingenuidad y los cambios de un corazón enamorado son expuestos con tanta delicadeza que es difícil no encariñarse con la pareja.
Por otro lado, la pareja secundaria no tiene tantos matices y dejaron bastante a la imaginación ya que, al contrario de la principal, no mostraron con tanto detalle su desarrollo, PERO es incluso más dulce que la principal, y aunque en el fondo se que es bastante cliché, no pude evitar enamorarme de ellos y esas escenas adorables que volvería a ver 929 veces más.
La dulzura hace a la serie, pero tiene dinámica por lo que mencioné al principio, lo que la vuelve entretenida. Lo que hizo que la puntuación no sea tan alta (además de lo que detallaré a continuación) fue la actuación, me pareció muy mala, en general estaban terriblemente durasos y su mirada transmitía lo que una pared.
Cosas que no me gustaron con SPOILER:
1) La intromisión del Ex del director arruinó el desenlace. Si bien todos esperábamos su aparición para echar luz sobre el pasado de Yu Zheng, fue súper intenso y le dieron demasiado protagonismo, no ayudo a la pareja (como querían demostrar) si no que se metió entre medio, forzandolos a unirse por el dolor. Su presencia solo debió empujar al director a hablar de su pasado y abrir su corazón con su chico, pero el tipo ese se encargó EL mismo de contar el pasado de Yu Zheng, causarle inseguridades a Shei Leí y abrir las heridas del director de una forma súper cruel para "ponerlo a prueba", lo cual no era necesario porque para antes que el ex apareciera, Shei Lei ya estaba seguro sobre sus sentimientos, y, por otro lado, Yu Zheng comenzaba a aceptar los suyos, quizá si debía aclarar las cosas con su ex para "cerrar una etapa" y juntar fuerzas para comenzar una nueva, pero con la fluidez y dulzura que venía caracterízando a la serie, y no así. Lo que más me dio bronca es que al final este tipo de mierda quedó como el buen salvador cupido de la historia, y ellos hubieran quedado juntos sin su regreso de mrdd >>:(
2) Baches argumentativos:
-El justificativo para la regla única fue bastante pobre, todos entendimos que Yu Zheng quedó traumado por amor, pero ¿Que sentido tiene prohibir los sentimientos de sus empleados? Además se mostró bastante abierto desde un principio con Shei Leí, lo cual no es propio de alguien que tiene tanta fobia al amor (al punto de poner una regla tan irracional)
-¿En que quedaron los flashbacks de Yu Zheng enamorado de Shei Lei en el pasado? Siempre mostraban que el director tenía sus ojos puestos en su empleado hace tiempo, pero jamás hondaron en eso, por lo cual quedó bastante colgado también.
3) quería ver el matrimonio de la pareja hetero jsjsjs

I DO I DO I DO LOVE THIS BL
The best Taiwanese BL so farrrrrr asdfghjkl I cannot stress enough how this BL is perfection. The chemistry is just off the charts like ZhenLei is one of my top ships already. They're so fine together. The flavor is rich and full with Aaron and Hank, I fcking cannot. I hope this BL gets more popular, attention, and appreciation like it deserves! <3 Be Loved In House I do is the epitome of great writing given the not-so-big budget. I DO LOVE THIS BL SO MUCH AND THE "I DO" OST. Be Loved In House deserves more viewers and seasons <333 MANIFESTINGEsta resenha foi útil para você?

It really grew on me
When I first started watching this show I only liked it fine until somewhere around the half-way point when all of a sudden it dawned on me that I'd not only become invested in the characters lives without realising it, I'd also wholly fallen in love with the entire story.This series has its flaws to be sure, but it also features some incredibly compelling story-telling delivered through beautiful cinematography, solid editing, and fantastic performances by the entire cast.
The set-up may seem contrived at first, but quickly paves the way for some fascinating characterisations; the story at times feels like a character study more than anything else and I personally really enjoyed that aspect of it. The characters are all given a lot more depth than strictly necessary for a light, romantic drama, as well as the agency to sometimes act outside the simplistic bounds of black-and-white morality.
Yu Zhen, for instance, is shown to be clearly aware that his "Single Rule" is not strictly legal, he simply bets on his employees being too invested in the company's continued existence to report his wrong-doings to any authorities.
Similarly, Shi Lei's meddling in the affairs of a client proves to be largely successful, but it is also made clear that his actions are ethically questionable.
And of course there's Yi Zi Tong, whom viewers appear to either despise as an unnecessary addition to the plot for the sake of drama, or appreciate as a necessary instigator of Yu Zhen's character development.
His addition to the story may in fact not have been strictly necessary, but he is a very complex and interesting character. He appears out of nowhere as Yu Zhen's self-styled saviour, presumably out of some lingering sense of guilt over how their relationship ended, and thoroughly derails the leads' budding relationship. He has nothing but good intentions, he's correct in a lot of his assumptions about Yu Zhen's mental state, but for the most part his actions seem to cause more harm than good.
It's these small, unusual elements that, to me, elevate the story way above the level of a silly rom-com.
Yes, it makes liberal use of tropes and cliches, but the characters are three-dimensional, they are flawed, likeable, often genuinely hilarious, and feel like real people, which makes the relationships depicted feel real and believable in turn - a personal highlight for me is Qiqi and Gang's relationship, which is a wonderful depiction of a healthy age-gap romance. Their age difference isn't ignored or put off as irrelevant; their different life experiences lead to differences in opinion and relationship expectations. This in turn leads to conflict, which the two then resolve through open and honest communication and compromise - it is truly a joy to watch.
So if you're looking for a rom-com with great acting, lovely queer representation (there is even a very touching coming out scene, if that sways you either way), and a very sweet slow-burn romance which has some bite and intelligence to it, then look no further.
If you just want something light and easy to watch that's perfect for a lazy weekend on the couch, then this series will deliver as well.
I will say, however, that this is a show best enjoyed in one or two sittings. The slow, gentle pacing best lends itself to binging rather than to watching one episode at a time :)

The chemistry amongst those two were remarkable, especially every episodes when Shi Lei’s Mom around. The coming out scene made me speechless, i don’t know how to describe it but it felt truly great. I even made my eyes wet even though the tears didn’t drip. lol
But, the last 3 episodes ruined every development that they built from the start. The ending was sweet, but still I hope something good came up no matter what.

Only for Aaron and Hank
Ok, so I watched this series because of the main leads. I believed they have a powerful chemistry. Hank is so adorable. And Aaron is the mysterious type.Story is just so so, its kinda boring in the middle. The development of their love story is too slow. They could have added more sweet moments or some love-hate relationship more. The music is just ok.
I was hoping for season 2. Just to give justice to the missing pieces left from season 1. I hope season 2 will answer some details that is missing in season 1.
Overall, I still recommend everyone to watch this.

I recommend it!
I've read a lot of people complaining about this series but I personally really liked it.Yes, it's slow paced and I think the broadcasting team made a bad decision by releasing one episode a week. When I saw that, I decided to wait until the end of the series so that I can watch it in one go and that was a pretty good decision that I've made because I'm satisfied with the result.
I think it is a pretty realistic story, the characters not able to be upfront with their feelings because they're scared. It happens to a lot of people (and I'm one of it). So maybe for a show, it is annoying but I liked it a lot.
The only thing that I wasn't quite happy with was the end and the trio Shi Lei, Zi Tong and Zhao Gang. To me, it wasn't necessary as Shi Lei was already ready to confess his feelings.
Also, I was suprised to see Wayne! Is his goal to make a cameo in every BL show from Taiwan (and Japan)?

Me ha hecho sentir
A veces creo que aunque el guion sea genial, si no te hace sentir, no se percibe realmente, pierde. Y esta historia puede que sea "simple" pero me ha hecho sentir, cada mirada y cada abrazo.Es verdad que se hace esperar aquello que anhelamos y cuando llega pasa demasiado rápido ( para mi gusto) y fin. Se hecha de menos el desarrollo de algunas cosas y se hecha de más al ex. Pero sigue siendo una bonita historia.
La actuación me ha gustado mucho, el montaje y el ritmo de la serie también.

I hated this
I don't know if that was just me but I hated this, it's just so boring and the plot is just so basic and boring and cliché. even if most BL dramas are clichés but usually they are fun and comedic or artistic or adds anything new.this one is just flat, bland characters I don't even see the chemistry that people are talking about they are just two attractive people, there were no actual chemistry between them.
the plot about the studio and their work and their colleagues is just k*ll me now. so boring i almost fell asleep.
I don't recommend watching at all actually, you can find nicer stuff that can actually make you laugh at least from how silly it is but this one doesn't even have that.

A love story weighed down by flaws
The premise had potential, but the execution didn't deliver. The only true strength of this series is the chemistry between the two leading men. Unfortunately, however, that chemistry was ruined when the actor Hank Wang (Shi Lei) was visibly uncomfortable kissing his scene partner. His lips were sealed shut and he refused to kiss meaningfully. His scene partner had more courage and made the best of a bad situation. Why would a production company hire an actor who doesn't want to do the work? The evolution of their relationship felt more natural, which was enjoyable to watch. The secondary gay couple needed more of a story - they didn't really have one, so why where they there? The straight couple were also underutilized.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
