Jun e Jun (2023)

Credo che sia il primo BL coreano che vedo e l'esperienza è stata decisamente delle più felici.
Se dal punto di vista della trama, della logicità e dello sviluppo dei personaggi non si può dire ci sia stato nulla di epocale, anzi, si sia trattato più che altro di una lunga sfilza di cliché ambientati in ufficio, la carineria dei protagonisti e la freschezza della loro interpretazione ha fatto sì che questo drama potesse consegnarci qualche ora di divertimento.
Entrambi gli attori principali sono più o meno completamente alle prime armi, ciò nonostante, hanno saputo interpretare al meglio questa commediola romantica breve, ma che non manca di nulla. Esiste uno svolgimento, per quanto forse non completamente plausibile, esistono i doverosi elementi di disturbo alla coppia principale, esistono degli obiettivi da raggiungere, che vengono raggiunti, e c'è pure il lieto fine d'obbligo.
Ok, nulla di nuovo sotto il sole e la luna, ma raccontato veramente con tanto gusto e tanto garbo. Forse non ci saranno dialoghi impegnati sul fronte della sociologia e della uguaglianza dei diritti, come accade molto spesso nei BL tailandesi ma, se il compito di questo lavoro era intrattenerci, il suo scopo è stato abbondantemente raggiunto. Promosso.
E, detto fra noi, mi piacerebbe tanto vedere mr "Vengo dall'America e sono tanto figo" in altre produzioni. Penso che ne verrebbe la pena.

100 cliched forced into one show

I wanted to like this drama so bad because ep 1 was such a strong start. However, this is the polar opposite to Light on Me where the drama gets better with each episode - this one gets progressively worse as time goes. I have to give it to the actors, this would have been way more unwatchable if the actors were slightly less competent. Choi Jun's flirting skills saved the drama, but even then this drama is what I would expect a story written by a teenage girl with a fetish for gay man would look like. The regular misgendering of Lee Jun, the forced love quadruple thing (I will never be convinced that Simon ever liked Jun), fake fiancee that added literally nothing to the plot, they irk me to no end. I can't see myself ever rewatching this.

Trop de hype pour rien

Honnêtement, très déçue de ce drama. J'ai vu pas mal de shorts youtube sur drama, ce qui m'a donné envie de le regarder, mais une fois que j'ai commencé, j'ai été très déçue.
Premièrement le jeu des acteurs n'est pas terrible et la story line est assez médiocre. Le premier épisode n'était pas mauvais mais le reste était beaucoup plus compliqué à regarder. Il était facile de voir que le manager était intéressé par son ancien ami, mais sans doute à cause du manque d'alchimie entre les deux acteurs (ou alors à cause du mauvais jeu d'acteur), on avait du mal à voir que l'autre personnage principal était également intéressé par son manager. Il n'y avait aucune tension apparente entre les deux personnages, même lors de la fameuse scène où il est assis sur lui (vous comprendrez laquelle).
L'intrigue qui règne auteur du statut de célibat ou non du manager est bizarre et honnêtement, elle se ressentait comme forcée, comme s'ils étaient en manque d'inspiration et devaient juste trouver quelque chose pour rallonger l'histoire et mettre une intrigue.
Tout était tellement fade que j'ai fini par arrêter de regarder le drama au moment où le manager avoue ses sentiments. Les scènes de confessions sont mes préférées mais celle-ci était tellement vide d'émotions qu'elle n'a fait que confirmer ce que je savais déjà depuis le début. Je me suis épargnée la fin évidente que tout le monde connaît déjà où ils finissent par se mettre ensemble car il n'y a aucune occasion de s'attacher aux personnages principaux durant tout le drama.
J'aime les romances de bureau et les schémas friends to lovers, mais là, tout était très maladroit. Très déçue.

They COOKED then they ATE

This is the KBL series that made me scream from the top of my throat because of fluttery! I think where it stands out the most is how the actors act the scenes genuinely though sometimes there are a bit awkwardness??? (not entirely sure) but the main actors really carried the show and put the awkwardness away that may have been felt by a viewer. It stands out too because it is such a rom-com classic, I swear the scenes are so cute that It'll make you smile even if you're about to be hit by a truck Lmao, just kidding. But no cap, they did really well on acting the funny parts of the series. sure we have different types of preferences, and my preference is this series. I think this series may contend to my no.1 KBL series. IT'S VERY GREAT, THEY DID A GREAT JOB AT DOING THISSSSZZZZ. THANK YOU FOR THEIR HARDWORK. And yes, would DEFINITELY recommend this BL!!!

Not memorable nor original but cute BL office romance lacking substance

This BL office romance is centred around Jun (the boss) and Jun (the intern) who are childhood friends that lost sight of each other and meet again in a hierarchical context in the marketing team of a perfume company.

As many Korean BLs, the total duration of the show is pretty short making it sometimes a bit frustrating in terms of pacing (you can often have the feelings that the sentiments and emotions are too quick to come) as well as in terms of plot development and logic. Here, it is a bit the case, I truly enjoyed the meet cute, the introduction as well as the development of the first 6 episodes but I found the ending quite rushed. It was still nice to follow but it felt lacking in terms of storytelling because some narrative arcs were not really properly developed. I more specifically really enjoyed the storyline around the idols world and I wish the drama would have expanded much more on that aspect.

I found the acting relatively average and I wish it could have been better especially in the more emotional moments. It is to be noted that contrarily to most Korean BLs, the main characters do not shy away regarding physical contact, kisses as well as sexual innuendos. The main leads managed to make those scenes believable even though it is not the pairing with the most convincing romantic tension. I wish there would have been more airing time for some secondary storylines as I really enjoyed the performances of Jung Ye Bin (as the comic relief girl) and Jo Chan Hyun (as the SML). Despite the scenario giving them almost nothing to play with, they left a really good impression on me and I would be curious to see them in other roles.

The music will not leave a lasting impression on me. It was nice but not remarkable. I found the production very good and colourful, with some really well filmed scenes being either the funny moments or the sexy times.

I would recommend this to people that enjoy BL story in an office setting. It will for sure not revolutionize the genre but it is a sweet drama, not memorable but which is fun to binge-watch.

It's not just Jun and Jun

*happy ending*

First of all, why is it so damn short? There are a lot of plotlines that could've extended the series to a whopping 15-episode one. This is one of the best korean BLs I have watched. 8 episodes is really just not enough. Because of that, it felt like the plot was rushed by episode 7. It was redeemed though by the love scenes, chef's kiss especially in the line of Korea's BLs.

The actors are sooo handsome, they act great too. I am just a bit sad that the main couple didnt had that much screen time together. For an short series, it was really not enough. Add to that the second couple who has a very intriguing storyline that they didnt even use! Hello? Ex manager and idol? Who doesnt love that?

The cameo? My tutoryim heart jumped with joy when I saw them.

How I wish this was longer. Or something that opens up a second season instead of them squeezing the whole story in a short series.

Choi Jun looks just like Do Do Hee xD I can't unsee it. They are both so cute. Btw I'm enjoying the show currently. If you wanna watch something cute I recommend this one.


Choi Jun looks exactly like Do Do Hee xD I can't miss it. It's so obvious that it seems inherent to me now. His looks, movement, even his facial expressions - everything is so similar to Do Do Hee that it really amuses me. When I look at him, I see Do Do Hee and I have to laugh. It's like twins separated at birth. I hope they meet one day and see for myself how similar they are. But until then, I'll enjoy every moment I see Choi Jun on screen and can't help but see Do Do Hee. Haha - I needed to make the text longer so I can post it here.

Good drama and recommended

Good drama with great story although it was lacking past story like childhood like how they did they get distant and why didn’t they keep contact and what about the engagement may be girl was okay but still they should have been plot something like cancelling official could have been better but still I liked the drama and the ratings which I gave was good because actors were good at looking and amazing acting also all the characters were pretty descent at acting and more important was the last episode had intimate scenes which wasn’t in Korean bl I think Korean bl industry improving a lot at this kind of scenes and actors had great chemistry I enjoyed this drama I think people can watch this recommend everyone to watch this drama hope to see the actors again casting I. Another series

i LOVE it so far

i watch bl and kdramas very often so i have some standards but i love this so far. i love office/school based romance so this is perfect. i can’t remember the last time i felt butterflies like i did with this show. the flirting seems so natural. also it’s not uncomfortable like a lot of shows, e.g. when the other person is pushing away or is obviously not comfortable. i can’t wait for the new episodes to come out. the only reason i didn’t put 10 for everything is because only a few episodes are out and i hope it’ll get even better! the cast are also gorgeous ?
