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...
Kang In Soo’s life revolves completely around music and singing. Supported by his best friend Choi Min Sung, who records his performances and uploads them on YouTube, he hopes to someday turn his love of music into a full-time career. A keyboardist working at a major record company, Yoon Sang Yi is always on the lookout for new talent. After stumbling upon In Soo’s videos, Sang Yi has become one of the singer’s biggest fans. You can see that he is not just a fan of Kang's voice but also maybe falling for him and dreams of maybe making music with him. Convinced In Soo could make it big, he recommends the young artist join his company’s rookie discovery project. As part of company policy, Sang Yi moves in with In Soo to help him with everything. As the two live and work together, their relationship grows, and slowly, new feelings begin to blossom. but soon it is revealed that he is actually CEO's son who doesn't want his son to join music career. Heart broken, Sang Yi comes in his support with help of In Soo's best friend and the music producer who are now ready to back the music created magically by the duo.
The film was strictly ok. I never connected to it and could care less. And I think this is because there was never a graph developed for any character. Nothing about background, family or how they got in music. Is Sang Yi really into In Soo's music or is it more about him and is in love with the person. And how come the best friend suddenly disappears when Sang Yi starts living with In Soo? On the positives, there are no side stories to distract you. The film is very focused on the main plot line. The kiss between Sang Yi and In Soo, comes out of nowhere and is sudden. I mean, till then there has been no establishment of any romantic feelings, so it feels a bit odd. Luckily, In Soo is not complaining. The story was novel and new and very good looking leads who could also act well. Too many songs, for my liking personally.
This one is very average. Not great but not outrightly bad or anything. It's an easy watch, so you can see if musicals are your thing. Yes, it eventually becomes about two boys who fall in love when music brings them together, but it is more about love for music than love for each other. (4.5/10)
