Jun e Jun (2023)

Geeeez. Korean BL dramas are really my favorites.

The chemistry between the two leads is just insanely good!

The story is nothing special in itself, but I enjoyed every episode simply because the two harmonize so well with each other. It's funny, it's hot, it's entertaining.

The only weakness, in my eyes, is the sometimes indiscriminate flashbacks. But there are not many of them. I would have liked some scenes a little longer. It was strangely cut. Sometimes I wasn't quite sure if this was just the next scene in the present, or a flashback. So in this area they could have worked it out and explained it even better. I wouldn't have needed the side story for Simeon and Hyun Jae either, but there are only a few short scenes of the two, so you shouldn't be put off by that.

I think the music is good again. The lyrics are definitely appropriate.

Oh, and the child actors are soooo adorable! They, as well as the support roles, did a good job.

The pace at which the story developed, was nice. I'm a huge fan of fast-paced romances anyway and don't seem to have too high demands (compared to other viewers), as long as I feel well entertained while watching, which is why I still give the series 9.5 stars, even if the criticism is understandable by some viewers. (For those who are unclear which of the children plays which role; just pay attention to who in the first flashback calls who. In the last episode there is also a hint if you pay attention.:D)

Otra mas lista!

Acaba de terminar esta serie, parece que fue ayer que la inicie y ya la acabe, se paso rápido y no me di cuenta, eso siempre es buena señal en una serie, porque aunque solo veía un ep semanal me mantenía con ella en la cabeza, es una serie sencilla, pero extremadamente adorable y te engancha, esta serie es una que puedes tirarte de maratón y no te darías cuenta de cuando acabe y buscarías mas.

La historia de estos dos personajes te lleva en un sube y baja de emociones en donde siempre terminas con una sonrisa en la cara, por una cosa u otra.

esta serie sin duda se quedara conmigo una temporada, y no me sorprendería si un día la vuelvo a ver, como casi siempre digo en mis reseñas de BL coreanos, corea hace estos BL para que sean mi zona de confort, son serie sencillas, que no te atormentan y que son disfrutabas para quedarte viéndolas siempre. Sin duda estas serie podría volver a verla, digo podría porque no soy de repartir series, aunque si veré escenas... porque la química de los personajes principales es muy buena, aunque me quede con ganas de mas por parte de la pareja secundaria, que en mi opinión su relación no tuvo casi desarrollo y apenas los vimos interactuar... pero se nota la chispa...

Recomiendo verla? si, es sencilla pero atacante y es algo para no pensar demasiado, disfrutable y reconfortante.

Not Good, Not Bad

When I say not good, not bad... I think that says it all

Want to kill some time or... like me, I at least attempt to watch every bl I can find. There were more in 2023 that I couldn't finish than in previous years because they were so terrible. I'm not sure why, maybe because as more bl series are created, there are bound to be both good and bad.

Anyway back to this series. Everything was just ok. I think the acting was just ok, not great, same for the storyline.

There was no real plot, no danger, no real romance, no sex (darn it...lol).

Mediocre! The best way to describe it. No rewatch value. Best news.. it's short. You can binge watch it.

Could have been better

This pacing of this show was so weird/wild and all over the place especially in regards to the timelines. With a better script, better pacing and longer run time, this would have been one of the best KBLs because the chemistry of our leads was just ?. The leads with the 2 SMLs and the 3 female characters acting was really good. Some of the side characters or extras were over acting but over all pretty decent acting. The actor that played the director was such a whole damn mood. He was the shining star of this drama hands down. He’s facial expressions were incredible and they were giving hunnnyyyy.
I don’t think I will necessarily rewatch this but I do recommend if you are looking for something fast/easy with good chemistry.

Que coisa desorganizada…

Sempre vi muitas pessoas falando e recomendando esse bl. Honestamente nos edits de 15 segundos dos protagonistas que você assiste nos reels do insta você se animava muito para assistir. Mas o bl em si foi uma grande decepção.

Tive a impressão que os autores e roteiristas quiseram juntar uns 5 plots diferentes em uma história só, o que acabou fazendo com que nenhum âmbito do bl fosse bem desenvolvido. O passado como idol do personagem principal é medíocre, o personagem do modelo é vomitado na trama, todo o desenvolvimento do manager é raso e desinteressante, o Jun empresário tem a profundidade de uma piscina infantil… Talvez a principal palavra que defina o bl: desinteressante. A cada segundo informações eram jogadas e mal explicadas pro telespectador, juntando inúmeros plots sem desenvolvimento nenhum. Uma verdadeira bagunça.

O nosso casal principal de Jun’s foi o mais decepcionante pra mim. A química deles é igual a de uma porta. Depois de assistir você percebe que apenas se anima com as cenas de 15 segundos do Instagram, porque os dois atores são bonitos, já que a relação dos dois no drama é praticamente inexistente. O relacionamento deles começou quando eles eram crianças? Claro, mas os autores esperavam que o desenvolvimento deles como um casal fosse baseado em uma ou outra cena de duas crianças de 10 anos em um parquinho? Me poupem. O relacionamento deles não tem trama, não tem química, não tem NENHUMA profundidade.

O único ponto positivo é que você consegue assistir tudo em uma tarde e já riscar da sua lista.

The potential was huge

I started watching whilst it was ongoing like on ep 4 and loved it.
It started with a fresh feel, cinematography on point and it was very cute.
Yes it had tropes but a lot felt new or not explored in kbl before, more open awareness of attraction and the scent thing. I'd of loved if there was more exploration of that, i mean their jobs involved scents it was perfect.
Chemistry was on fire, i couldn't get enough.
The idol backstory/sideplot was interesting, I'd of even liked seeing more so it weighed more.
To be honest several things i thought could've been better or explored more would warrant a longer series, there felt like very little time to take in what there was already.
Three guys were implied to like the main but i wasn't sure how real it was or if it was just to take up time and give tension.
In the end it felt kinda rushed, i wanted people to find out they were together but no. Side couple didn't become a couple either.
I was left feeling like the quality or maybe the right word is potential i was feeling at the beginning phased out into the usual kbl. Bit disappointing storywise.
Not as ground-breaking as i wanted but still better then some of the past kbl mini dramas.
Still loved the main couple, just wanted more.

BEAUTIFULLY MADE CLICHE'

I would recommend this BL if you are tired of the heavy dramas you've been watching like, crime set up BL or drama BL or even a non BL dramas. You cannot expect too much on this drama but it really gives a good vibes and leaves you smiling after watching it.
To be honest, I kinda find it too short, coz this couple is so soothing in the eyes that I think I want to see more of 'em, I can't believe I watched all the episodes already. The only thing that is special in this drama is the moments of the couple, like damn, I love them ! I am obsessed ! but the plot , the story, the jealousy part, all common and predictable but I like it coz the story is easy to understand
About the aside couple, I kinda got confused on their role there but in the later part, it all explained so it is satisfactory.
I would rewatch this many times in my life, I wish to see this babys of mine from now on--more !

This could have been a winner...

Not sure what happened. Bad writing? Young director? Small budget?

As others have stated there are continuity issues:
- Let's have lunch to celebrate our first day together! Boss guy takes over ordering and mentions that everybody orders the same thing each time. But, this is their first time as a team. Desserts purchased. What happened to lunch? Translation issue?
- Coffee spilled on shirt. They almost take off their shirts but, never do. Yet - after dinner - it's mentioned he has his boss' shirt on and needs to return it. And, between the shots of when it happened and during the discussion of squishy and soft - the shirt becomes magically clean.
- Gossip from the interns about everything you would expect but, none of it comes to pass and there are little repercussions. One gets talked to and, everyone gets hired. Why was it even there? Tension wasted.

Not enough backstory and development of the characters. We know they got separated and the lead up was one set of parents fighting but, the other kid ends of moving away and while there is brief mention of why he chose not to contact - it doesn't float. Why would he feel responsible for leaving? Did his parents surprise him and he couldn't say goodbye?

Jun Eonni had a wonderful backstory that we only get hints of. Feels he isn't good enough to be loved. Doesn't realize what a great person he is. Is afraid of getting close to someone for fear of them leaving. But, we see almost none of it. We get the explanation of why the manager cares so much but, why explain it like that when there is love there?

Jun Director had a cliche backstory but, we see and barely hear of what he went through. Is he job determined because he was lonely? How can he be such a successful flirt if he kept to himself all these years? It's true that his drive and stumbling along show he needs to communicate better but, my guess is his fiancé helped him as a person to grow and learn how to be around people.

Surprisingly, product placement needs some work. While the wonderful The Wedding Plan snagged The Arches and more - this one seemed to forget who was paying their bills. In a way - that is good but, were the check writers satisfied?

I had to restart watching this twice to catch on to what was happening. I figured out the flashbacks, caught the conversation, and really paid attention. If you only watch it once through - you may end up being confused but, still happy at the overall story.
