Honestly I can't believe we're still getting BL series this bad in 2026. This mini series runs about 7 to 8 episodes with a total runtime of just about an hour and it is so boring that I genuinely struggle to find the words. The actors are awkward, the story is as basic as it gets and there is almost nothing about this show worth saving. The makers do try to stir up some drama here and there but even that falls completely flat. Ho Won is a 23 year old university student who spots a man sitting alone at a gay bar and gets attracted to him. The man is Min U, a 33 year old who brushes Ho Won off immediately saying he's too young. Ho Won lies about his age and since he's made a bet with the bartender that he'll get this man home before the night is over, he switches tactics and eventually the two end up at Min U's place and sleep together. Despite being complete opposites in every way there's some kind of pull between them and they go on a couple of dates. But t...
Tony, a macho straight guy and Steve, gay man with a boyfriend end up being co-workers. Because of a childhood incident, Tony has always been against gays. He is the classic case of homophobia. He can't stand Steve one sec. At a Christmas party, they both get into a verbal spat, which neither of their partners is able to stop. They both end up saying to each other that " I wish you were gay" and "I wish you were straight". Guess what! The christmas angel fulfills their wishes and both Tony and Steve start to notice changes within themselves. Steve suddenly starts finding himself attracted towards girls which hurts his boyfriend to a great extent. And at the same time, Tony starts avoiding his fiancé on the matter of sex in favor of watching TV. A lot of funny incidents follow including Tony's "coming out" to his family at christmas. When another verbal spat happens, both Tony and Steve realize that these changes started happening around the same time and they figure it was the angel because one the girls at the party saw the angel lit up when they asked for wishes. As it happens always, it's a happy ending where Tony is now acceptable of gays and everyone.
I read a lot of people could not help laughing themselves but honestly I didn't feel like laughing at all, except when every time Tony's mother would correct everyone's english. Stereotypical straight and gay things that Steve and Tony end up doing did not make me smile but I could see how some straight folks would enjoy it. Acting wise both the guys did a decent job. The girl playing Tony's fiancé was a little irritating though. Also it was little hard to believe that in California people would be so homophobic specially in 2011 when this film was released. C'mmon now!!
Overall just a fair to average experience, although I can see some people really liking it. (5/10)
