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...
We see the film with Caleb in jail and doesn't remember what has happened and a detective trying to find the truth. Extremely good looking Caleb is dealing with a lot of issues and baggage with his family, especially his abusive mother. But outwardly he seems to be coping well with all of those. He meets Jeremy, a slightly older man, who seems to be hiding something but the two connect and they fall in love eventually. Caleb tells Jeremy that he had this abusive mother and he has moved from homes to homes but what essentially has happened is that Caleb has inherited his weird personality disorder from her. When Caleb finds out that Jeremy is married, he loses his control completely and makes Jeremy his prisoner and tortures him for a few days before his wife comes looking for him. IN an act of violence, the pregnant wife is killed by Caleb, who ends up being in jail and Jeremy is back with family.
Firstly, the end of the film was so bizzare and random that it didn't make any sense at all. The writing was decent but the acting is so bad, it all looks pretty wooden. Sean Lockhart has improved from his previous stints but still has a lot to learn if he wants to get into mainstream acting. As an audience, we don't invested in any character whatsoever, neither Caleb's nor Jeremy for that matter. From the start the relationship between Caleb and Jeremy seemed more weird than genuine and as it began to unravel the situations weren't particularly suspenseful or psychologically deep. There are unnecessary naked scenes purely for titilation and almost every other scene has the two of them wearing fancy underwears (this was a good promotion, if at all). As I mentioned above, the film was stretched beyond it had to. An interesting premise is ruined by poor direction, acting and execution.
Its a superficial film which could have been good with better execution. For now, if you are looking for some good looking actor with ample skin show, go ahead and have your feast. (3.5/10)
