Bittersweet Love Story

**Brief Synopsis**
B (Gangster): Ze Rui
T (Student): Bai Zong Yi

- Beginning: T is an honour roll student with aspiration to become a doctor and B is a mafia he saves one day and brings home to heal. At first, their relationship is pretty cold with T keeping B at arm’s length. But the more time they spent together, B starts to open up and T starts falling for him. T immediately confesses but B is hesitant to accept love from someone so young so flees.

- Middle: They are reunited when B had to infiltrate T’s school. T ends up bringing B home again and this time, his confession works and B agrees to date him. They have their first kiss.

- End: However, before they could have their happy ending, enemy mafia attacks them and T is injured, losing his chance at medical school. He doesn’t give up on B though, deciding to open a desert shop while waiting for B to return to him. B on the other hand first loses his memory and after regaining his memory, he is so ashamed he avoids seeing T. But T finds out about his recovery and forces himself back in to B’s life. The show ends with them finally back together and happily dating with blessing from B’s family.

**My Opinion**

WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT:
- The actors playing B and T. Their chemistry was amazing and their interactions were cute and sweet. They also do a great job in portraying the affection between the characters.
- I love how someone younger is the dominant in this relationship, changing the dynamic of their relationship.
- I love how T never gives up, even when the whole world seems to be trying to split them up. If he gave up on B, this series would 1000 times more angsty. But because he doesn’t give up, the angst is only temp.
- I love seeing B a lot more open by the end of the show and learning how to rely on T.
- I really like their reunion scene and their confession scene. Despite the scene not being super intimate, it is extremely impactful and hot.
- The writing is pretty nice despite the plot being predictable and cliche. The pacing is nice and the characters likeable. Their interactions are also very sweet and we can feel the affection between them.

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE ABOUT IT:
- Very tame intimate scenes which can be a disappointment.
- Angst comes from B constantly denying his own feelings which is an overused trope.
- The show is constantly playing with your emotions which means it can get a little tiring to watch.
- Some scenes outside romance scenes can get a little fake (gang scenes).

**Conclusion**
An OK watch but will probably only be revisiting the two scenes mentioned above.

Time Travel Love Story (For Ending, Suggest Reading Novel Ending)

**Brief Synopsis**
B (Architech): Jom
T (Student): Khun Yai

- Beginning: B is an architect and is commissioned to renovate an old manor. Soon after starting however, he is caught up in an accident and time travels back to the past. There he meets T, who immediately recognizes B as the man he keeps dreaming about. That is because this isn’t B and T’s first life together but B doesn’t seem to remember as well as T. The following episodes, T tries to get closer to B, even going as far as taking him on as his personal manservant. B and T spends more time together after that and after another character confesses to B, T decides to confess as well because he is afraid that he will lose B. B accepts after T tells him he doesn’t care if their relationship isn’t accepted.

- Middle: However, their first challenge came when T’s mother tells him he needs to marry a girl from another affluent family. B knows T can’t refuse because of his family and convinces T to accept (**tears warning**) which hurts both of them. But in the end the betrothal is canceled after B finds proof to send the head of that family to jail.

- End: Soon after, their happiness is cut short again when B discovers that he is starting to disappear. He tells T the truth about his identity and the couple spends the last moments B has in this era together (**tears warning**). In the last episode, B returns to his era and finds a letter T has written him. Just as he was crying while reading this letter, he hears a voice calling him and he looks up to find T standing in front of him. T’s reincarnation (his grand grand grand son) with memories of the past came to find him.

**My Opinion**

WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT:

- The concept is really good but the execution could have been better. I found the show extremely dramatic and too much focus was given to the other characters’ story in the sense that the main couple’s story feels somewhat underdeveloped.
- The episodes leading up to the confession lacked any noticeable foreplay or build up to that moment, significantly diminishing the emotional impact of that moment. In addition, because there is so much drama, even after the confession, watching their relationship can get a little tiring as you are always afraid that something bad is going to happen.
- This show obviously want to be a period drama which is a subject matter that I did not enjoy.
- The acting is really nice and the leads do a great job at displaying the love between the main characters. The rest of the actors do a pretty good job as well...at least better than other shows.
- The intimate scenes are pretty well acted out even if they are pretty tame. Some of their interactions are pretty cute and their crying scenes are emotionally impactful and can bring the audience in.
- Production quality is pretty high.

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE ABOUT IT:
- Very simple and predictable storyline with no plot twists or especially notable moments.
- Pacing sometimes feels too slow other times feels too fast. I think it is because they are trying to deal with too much at the same time.
- Period piece is not something I like.

**Conclusion**
This is an okay watch with an interesting concept that you should give a chance.

Forgettable BL with a HE

- Genre –
Entertainment Industry/Romance/TV Star/BL

- Brief Synopsis –
Protagonist A is a die-hard fan of B and dreams of meeting him. One day, he secures an internship on B’s set and ends up given the duty of taking care of B. As they start spending more time with each other, B start falling for A and they end up in a secret relationship. The rest of the episodes focuses on the development of their relationship. Towards the end, their relationship is temporarily broken when A finds out B has done an intimate scene with another actor without telling him. The shows ends with them getting together and A leaving his fan persona behind to properly become B’s lover.

- Plot and Storyline –
This plot does not contain any plot twists that would make the story memorable in any way. The pacing is notably swift, particularly in the development of the romance, which can feel abrupt and lacks a gradual buildup. While the story introduces elements of angst, the emotional impact is diminished, primarily because the source of conflict revolves around one of the main characters doing an intimate scene with another actor without the knowledge of their partner. As a viewer, the lack of investment in this particular couple undermines the potency of the angst, failing to evoke a meaningful response. All in all, it's a good story but badly executed.

- Character Development –
The only development is that both characters learn to become more mature over time.

- Acting -
The overall sweetness of the relationship between the main characters is apparent, but the absence of a gradual buildup makes their coming together feel somewhat plain. The kisses and small touches, while present, lack a significant impact due to this rushed development. Despite all that, the actors do a good job in building chemistry. Another thing to note is that in this show, the actors offer a more mature portrayal of intimate scenes, pushing the boundaries by depicting sexual content to the extent permissible without revealing everything.

However, the acting from supporting characters occasionally falls into the realm of exaggeration, making it challenging for the audience to fully engage. Furthermore, the portrayal of acting within the fictional show in the series is deemed subpar, to the extent that skipping those scenes becomes a necessity.

- Production Quality -
Decent production quality with somewhat realistic sets and props.

- Writing and Dialogue -
Writing can sometimes be a little cringey.

- Pacing -
Pacing is good.

- Themes and Message –
In order to have a long-lasting relationship with your idol, you need to stop looking at him as your idol but as a person.

- Audience Appeal -
Anyone who likes the concept of idol dating a fan will probably like it. But it should be noted that A’s personality can be a little too childish which is a turnoff for some.

- Standout Moments -
The onsen scene really stood out to me because I have never seen an intimate scene so sexual. This scene was leaning closer to porn rather than what we typically see in BL.

- Criticisms -
x A's character is way too childish, to the point it's almost a little cringey at times.
x Acting from other characters can sometimes get way too exagerrated. The writing also suffers the same problem, which takes away realism.
x Both A and B's characters aren't very likable for me so rooting for them and getting invested in their relationship is a little difficult.

- Conclusion -
I won’t be rewatching this show but I will be revisiting the onsen scene…probably.

BE for Now (If there isn’t a Season 2)

DROPPED

**REASON**

I stopped watching this show because of its heartbreaking conclusion, where one of the main characters is entangled in a car accident, casting a veil of uncertainty over their fate. The series, classified within the classical family drama genre, unfolds at a deliberate pace, meticulously exploring the dynamics among its characters. Despite the absence of explicit scenes due to censorship, the interactions between the main characters are remarkably tender, authentically conveying a sense of affection. Regrettably, the supporting cast fails to make a lasting impression, and the powerful ending ultimately diminishes the overall enjoyment of the series for me.

NOT RECOMMENDED or RECOMMENDED TO BE WATCHED ON 4x.

Premise: A romance story about a photographer meeting a fellow traveler on a beach and slowly falling in love over the course of a few days.

GOOD:
- CINEMATOGRAPHY: Very beautiful location. The show also had an almost dream like quality to it.
AVERAGE:
- ACTING: Acting was okay. There weren't any awkard moments but the show is just to bland to allow the actors to show off any real acting.

BAD:
- PLOT: The show feels pointless. Nothing seems to be going on and at the end of the show, we are left with a "that's it?" feeling. The show spends most of its runtime showing the photographer taking photos or the two of them eating or walking around. This show just feels extremely incomplete and makes you wonder if it had been meant as a pilot.
- LACK OF BL: Everything here seemed to be heavily implied. The characters aren't together at the end of the show and no confessions has taken place. If you wanted, this could be counted as bromance.
- PACE: The pace of this show is so slow it can be considered boring. As mentioned before, nothing seems to be happening and there are no character development to speak of.
- CHARACTERS: The characters themselves are so bland that it is difficult to comment on them. The show doesn't spend much time building them up.
- OPEN ENDING: The show ends with the characters promising to travel together from now on but we have no idea how long that will last.

CONCLUSION: NOT RECOMMENDED or RECOMMENDED TO BE WATCHED ON 4x.

Had Potential but Failed

**Brief Synopsis**
B (Intern): Sky
T (Owner's Son): Ace

B is an intern at the company T is currently managing as the owner's son. The story revolves around B and T starting out on bad terms because T isn't a very nice person and through spending more time together, they eventually fall in love, get together and even come out as a couple. The first season end with a happy ending but the second season, because the actor playing T didn't come back to monetary reasons, B and T breaks up and B meets someone else.

**My Opinion**

WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT
- The concept was nice but badly executed.
- The boys looked adorable together.

WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE ABOUT IT
- Villainize female characters for the sake of angst or plot. This show puts female characters under a bad light and make them do random stuff just for the sake of advancing the plot.
- The second season totally erases what happens in the first season. It just doesn't make sense for them to break up in the second season considering how in love they were in the first season and how much they had gone through together.
- The acting is a big weakness. The ensemble cast can get very cringey and the main leads lack the chemistry of some other couples. They are gorgeous and look good together. But it felt more as if they were best friends rather then lovers. They lack any small heart fluttering little interactions and look more like kids playing around.
- The writing and the plot is just cliche and awkward. The episode they got together was cute but it kind of went downhill after that. The plot where Moira tries to get revenge is just so random and the way she was planning it out makes her look like a cartoon villain. It was extremely cringe.
- The editing and the music. Unlike TW dramas, this show did not utilize music well enough to create an atmosphere of romance around the characters. Like I said, chemistry is lacking between the two actors, partly because of their acting, partly because of the editing and music.
- The episodes sometimes drags out and since nothing is happening, it's a little boring.
- Stereotypical gay characters often seen in BL just make things cringe. No character development from anyone making this a very superficial story.

**Conclusion**
This is a show you can skip or simply watch the beginning and the episode where they got together. There were some cute moments but the knowledge they broke up in season 2 just leaves a bad taste in my mouth especially considering how they just came out to everyone as a couple and said they loved each other at the end of season 1.

Predictable and Unpredictable At The Same Time

**Brief Synopsis**
B (Employee): Ji
T (Artist): Yoon

Beginning: B is an employee who has recently been discharged because a misunderstanding. Not knowing what to do in the main time, he goes on a trip to a small coastal town and meets T. T is an artist and the favorite artist of the ceo of the company B works at. Immediately B recognizes him and had this brilliant idea of approaching T and convince him to return to the art world and world with their company, hoping this will be enough to convince the ceo to allow him back to work. At first, B only sees T as a ticket back to his old life, but unexpectedly an attraction starts to develop between them and before he knew it he was falling for the other man.

Middle: The more B feels for T the guiltier he felt about the lies he told T. It got even worst after B confesses to T and T accepts and asks him out. B started hesitating whether he should tell T the truth but when T told him how he was hurt in the past by trusting the wrong person, B gives up the idea of telling T the truth, afraid that it will break them up. He decides to give up on using T and let things happen naturally and if he doesn't get hired back, he'll try to find another job. And if the company forcec him to use T he'll resign. But before anything could happen, T finds out about B's reason for being here and freaks out. No matter how many times B tries to tell him he didn't pretend to love him for the company, T doesn't believe him and tells him he doesn't want to see him again. B continues his efforts of convincing T of his feelings but T just wouldn't listen.

End: B returns to his job in the main time but he is still broken up by what is going on with T. His efforts to letting T know he hasn't lied about his feelings wasn't working. He tries to work but it's obvious it wasn't working. T on the other hand isn't doing any better. But luckily he has a friend to talk it over with. The friend tells him that B isn't lying when he said he loved him and T shouldn't let the past dictate his future and make him miss out on what could be the best thing that could happen to him. T has a flashback to a previous time when B was drunk and told him he hadn't expected to fall for him. He realizes that B might be serious and finally forgives him. B and T finally meets and T asks him to get back together which he agrees. In the end, B did quit his job after his manager asked him once more to use T. The series ends with them together.

**My Opinion**

WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT
- I loved and hated how real it was. B hesitating whether he should give up his career for T and ended up not to give up is just so real. Since he was the one to bring up using T, the company didn't force him to do anything, he had no other people then himself to blame. And he had debts to think of and couldnt give up so easily. He only quit at the end because he knew the company will continue using him to get to T if he stayed so it's better for him to find another job.
- I love the buildup. The acting was great and the actors had great chemistry together. The show felt real.
- The cinematography was beautiful. It felt like a high quality production.
- The pacing was good and the progression of their relationship felt natural. We were actually rooting for the couple and each step they take towards each other feels like a small victory.
- The characters were very relatable and their actions made sense in the context of the show. These are normal people falling in love for the first time and we are only along for the ride. I also love the side characters. They are charming in their own way and help the main characters grow.
- The leads look gorgeous together. They just fit and seeing them kiss is a visual masterpiece.

WHAT I DIDNT LIKE ABOUT IT
- I didn't like the lack of communication at the end. Athough the motivation are understandable but B should have been more honest with his feelings and told T before hand about the company. Although it would have been a little better but hope much better is debatable because B did end up choosing the company over T. And T not believing him is understandable because of his past traumas.
- It's a slow burn and outside their relationship nothing else happens. Everything surrounds the couple.
- There aren't any intimate scenes but the hugging and kissing scenes are enough to make you heart flutter. And they look gorgeous together.
- B tries to do everything himself, only messing things up. He should try to rely more on T.

**Conclusion**
A very high quality show that should be watched.

Wasted Potential

**Brief Synopsis**
B (Student): Ayan
T (Student): Akk

Beginning: B and T are both students at a prestigious all boys academy known for their strict rules. A rumor has it that a curse exists that will punish all rule breakers and if things get out of control, the whole school might be impacted. B is a transfer student who transferred to this school to investigate what is going on and what happened to his uncle to lead to his suicide. T is a perfect, in charge of enforcing the rules. B and T begin their relationship on the wrong foot. Because B thinks T is brainwashed and don't care about the other students and T thinks B is trouble and should be supervised at all times to prevent him from breaking rules. But despite everything attraction starts forming between them, not that they would admit.

Throughout the series, B is busy trying to find evidence of this school's wrongdoing and T is trying to find evidence of B's wrongdoing so he could get him expelled. To complete this plan, T needs the note book B has been writing in and to get that notebook, he starts following him around (and maybe get more info on him). And the more he learns about B the more he sympathizes with him and he start realizing that maybe there was more to the picture then what he can see. But no matter how his feelings might be changing, there is a constant fight between his sense of duty towards the school and his own feelings. Later on, it is revealed that in order to maintain piece, T came up with the idea of the curse and did a lot of things to make the non conformers think they are in danger.

Towards the end, it is revealed that the school's corrupt system has lead to the uncle's suicide. However, the school continued to function and nothing seemed to have changed except for more inclusive rules because they realized just how much harm the rules were doing. T who nearly killed someone wasn't even punished for his actions. At the end, with the truth revealed, B finally relaxes and he and T could finally be together with T having finally admitted his feelings.

**My Opinion**

WHAT I DID LIKE ABOUT IT
- The acting is really good in emotional scenes. The crying is phenomenal and we could feel what the characters are feeling.
- The pacing is okay although the revelation at the end was a little rushed. The pacing for the relationship is a little rushed. From what we could see onscreen, they should have had time to become friends but definitely not enough time to develop feelings. Its just not realistic.
- The way the framed the mystery captivates you and makes you want to watch towards the end even if the ending didn't exactly pay off. The mystery convinced me to continue watching until the end but because I couldn't stand the other characters, I would skip to Ayan. The conclusion was disappointing as I thought there would be more to it.

WHAT I DIDNT LIKE ABOUT IT
- The whole school system presented. I know that the goal of the show is to show us an oppressive and corrupt school system but that doesn't make it less pleasant to see evidence of it. The school is more like a cult then a school. T is the perfect example of that. He was willing to potentially injure someone to uphold the rules. He didn't even think of the consequences of his actions.
- T wasn't punished for his actions. Just admitting his wrongdoing isn't enough. It's like just because your attacker apologized he shouldn't be punished for his actions.
- T's character is just not likable. He doesn't give us any reason for B to like him. Like is based on trust and B doesn't even trust him, believes he store his notebook even though he knows how important it is to him. Their relationship is just not very healthy if that are both guarded toward each other. There is buildup but the buildup just isn't believable or make me want to root for them.
- No plot twists or memorable moments. The mystery felt so flat at the end. It didn't live up to the excitement I was feeling in the first few episodes.

**Conclusion**
A very tiring show to watch with mostly unlikable characters, because of the plot.

Promising Beginnings Disappointing Ending

**Brief Synopsis**
B: Talay
T: Tun

Beginning: T and B are sent to an alternate universe after dying in their own. To return to their original universe, they have to find their key. As they search for that key, they live life to the fullest in their new universe and slowly fall in love. The series end with them returning to their original universe and meeting for real and starting a relationship.

**My Opinion**

WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT
- Their relationship didn't come out of no where. They started as friends and fell for each other after spending a long time together. The pining stage was beautifully done.

WHAT I DIDNT LIKE ABOUT IT
- T is supposed to be some kind of extremely famous actor but they dont make the audience feel that(his interview only had 9k people watching and only a few fans were waiting at the airport for him which is very unusual). His fame doesn't seem to play much of a role in the aftermath of the revelation he might be involved with a guy (the picture of him kissing another guy was leaked but there doesn't seem to have a big effect which is weird considering his fame). And B suddenly dating T doesnt seem to surprise Bs friends at all. It cheapens the reveal and make it seem inconsequential.
- The lack of chemistry. The actors feel more like bros then lovers. It was okay in the initial parts of the show where it was mostly pining but after they got together, the lack of chemistry really shows. It just doesn't feel right seeing them together. It lacks a certain spark that makes you want to squeal at the sight of them.
- The acting in general can be lacking. Certain emotional scenes lack the emotional support and some scenes are filled with awkward silences. I know they are there for dramatic effect but it's just weird when it happens in real life.
- Use of the girl to introduce angst in to their relationship. Both T and B has to find their key and B thinks the girl is T's key because he told her she was special. B of course thought special means in a romantic way and emoed over it. But T only mean special because she was someone he knew. He says he doesn't know how to explain it to B but the explanation is so easy. He then says he know the girl isn't his key but spent time with her to make B happy. It's just a lazy way to introduce angst and fill the run time.
- Disappointing ending to their buildup: the show has a good buildup to their relationship. The flirting, the kisses, the looks the smiles all made us want to see them together. Except after they confess, nothing big seem to have changed. They just dont make convincing lovers which is a disappointment as that point was supposed to be reward for going through all that pining.
- The lack of plot is also an issue. The thing with this show is that it doesn't really have a plot because the focus is on the development of their relationship. It was going really well until they had to introduce cliches and overused tropes. Then it became boring. I watched the last few episodes in 4x speed because nothing was happening and it did not have the fluff I was waiting for. Sure there was some fluff but it was so not satisfactory.
- Predictable and cliche plot (I could guess where the plot was going) with no plot twists or memorable moments. I just feel extremely disappointed after finishing the show. I had hopes for that couple and at the end I didn't feel anything for them.

**Conclusion**
Interesting concept but mediocre execution

However B realizes that if he could solve all the problems T had been trying to solve and do the right thing, he could still succeed. He eventually do and passes the test and the series ends with T coming back and then kissing.

**My Opinion**

WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT
- Very nice writing. Although there are a lot of cliche and predictable plot points (such as hospital being front for organ trafficking or the girlfriend of ML betraying him so he had a reason to break up with her, etc), they are put together in an interesting way that keep in interested. The concept is very interesting and well executed, done in a way that doesn't make things over complicated.
- Very nice and likable characters. T was calm and collected but had his own trauma and flaws. B was adorable at the end and truly care of T. Although there aren't many intimate scenes, they show their affection through action and grief. The characters do have chemistry and seeing them together is really satisfying.
- I love the idea that B get to experience the loop at the end.

WHAT I DIDNT LIKE ABOUT IT
- The ending was too short. I would have liked to see them together because getting there has been very difficult.
- The plot can get a little plain. There were some plot twists that surprised me but overall, the mystery is predictable and cliche, and seen multiple times before.
- The acting can get a little...unnatural in scenes where the actors have to display strong emotions. For example anger and grief aren't exactly that well displayed. In general the acting is fine and there aren't many cringey scenes.

**Conclusion**
Interesting ground hog day type of BL that should be watched.

Absolutely Adorable

Story starts when T accidently sends a message to the wrong person and B pretends to be that person because T was offering the camera he wanted. After the ruse ended, they still continued to chat and slowly they start falling for each other. Story ends after the quarantine is over and they get to meet and perhaps move in together.

**My Opinion**

THINGS I LIKED ABOUT THIS
- Absolutely adorable little story. It can be finished very fast and leaves you wanting more. The leads are adorable together and once they meet up, their intimate little gestures are adorable.
- Absolutely loved the age difference.
- The male leads are gorgeous together. Absolutely loved them visually.
- The acting was on point for their characters.

THINGS I DIDNT LIKE ABOUT THIS
- No plot. Just a series of video calls followed by a last scene where they finally meet up.
- The angst was a little weird. Once again the angst is because of miscommunication.

**Conclusion**
An adorable feel good type of show.

Sweet Manager-Employee BL

B (Intern): Seung Hyeon
T (Manager): Kim

Beginning: B is a new intern at T’s company. They start out as strangers but soon because of work they start getting more time to interact. From the beginning, B is obviously attracted to T because his approach has an effect on him. And from the beginning, T shows interest in B, not only getting him to sit in on a meeting he shouldn’t be at but also getting him to work with him on an important project.

Middle: Not before long, T kisses B and asks him out. They have to keep it a secret but they still find ways to keep it romantic at work.

End: But before they could have their happy ending, B sees a pen engraved with the initials of the person who broke his heart in school.

Later B applies to be a regular employee but doesn’t get in. T upon hearing his quits the company and opens a new company and hires B to work for him.

**My Opinion**

WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT
- I love the two women B tells his experiences with T to. These two love to compare his experience to BL manga. It’s like breaking the fourth wall.
- I love their subtle acts of affection while on company hours, such as holding hands while taking a nap on his shoulder.
- I really like how romantic T is, bringing him out to dinner and setting up a private movie viewing.
- I like how everyone is not satisfied with T but can’t do anything with him because he brings in half of the company’s profits.
- I’m glad the angst made both of them grow emotionally and changed their relationship for the better.
- The acting is pretty on point. The characters have chemistry and I could easily feel the awkwardness that usually comes with first love. They look so happy together, it’s really magical.
- I liked the camerawork on kissing scenes. It makes fake kissing less noticeable.
- I loved the ending where T quits the company when corrupt business practices refused B as an employee. They ended up opening a new company together.

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE ABOUT IT
- Angst once again caused by a lack of communication but at least this time it was resolved quickly because T is an adult who knows what he wants.
- There are a lot of cliches but they don’t make the story bad.

**Conclusion**
Simple boss-employee relationship story.

End: The series ends with them finally addressing the confession after a while and sleep together.

**My Opinion**

THINGS I LIKED ABOUT IT
- The main couple look good together including the intimate scene, they look good together but this scene has no emotional impact on me because I wasn't invested in this couple.
- Relatively angst free viewing experience.

THINGS I DIDNT LIKE ABOUT IT
- Acting is bad when displaying complex emotions, making the scene feel unnatural.
- The lack of build up for the relationship. We have no idea how they fell for each other because there was no clue they even had feelings and the next episode B says he had fallen for T. T confesses as well but it just felt more like a joke because there was no buildup.
- The plot is predictable and cliche with no memorable moments.
- Lack of chemistry between the leads. They look really cute together but when they are together it's difficult to believe there was anything more then friendship.
- The development of the relationship confused me. The two MCs are emotionally stunted idiots who just won't talk to each other. The angst felt so forced it wasn't even funny. I felt absolutely nothing because this couple had no build up and given any reason why I should care. Their confession at the end mean nothing to me either. This whole love plot felt so forced and rushed it's not at all romantic.

**Conclusion**
Simple story with no memorable moments.
