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...
An athletic student Zach, is ordered by the school board to become an altar server as a punishment for an offense he committed so that he can stay away from mischievous activities. As part of this program he is put under Christian as part of the buddy program, who is a senior altar boy. Soon love starts developing between the two boys and Christian even tells the church about it. Just when things were going well, Christians' Best friend Wolf confesses his love for him. Zach always thought that Wolf has feeling for Christian and to prove to him that Wolf is also gay, he kissed him which Christian sees. The misunderstanding between the two boys keeps growing and they make peace eventually citing the rushed circumstances of them getting into a relationship. The ending was a bit weird where Zach also joins the church now and maybe they will have a future together.
As I said before, there was a hint of a decent story but instead we are left with some amateurish acting, bad direction and horrible sound quality. I found myself not really caring about any of the characters or their motivations. It feels the makers were trying to make a bold statement about church being accepting of all sexualities and God loves all, but by keeping all the gay stereotypes in the series, it ended up looking like a student project. This stereotyping is not helping anyone's cause. The screenplay just randomly kept moving from one point to the other. It was very shabby and corny. The awkward dialogues intended as jokes weren't really funny at all. And gosh! why so many scenes of people stuffing food in their mouths? Thats not funny by any means. The lead actors had potential but total lack of chemistry and conviction laced with such a bad direction made them look bad on screen.
There are so many Asian BL stories out there these days, that it is hard to keep up. I wish someone had told me to avoid this one or watch only if you have nothing else better to do. (2.5/10)
