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...
Kimmer is a social media celebrity and influencer who comments of people's outfits. His fame has brought an unsavory attitude against other people. His boyfriend recommends that he should spend time with nature to reduce his stress. During the hike, he falls off a cliff and is saved by islanders. When he wakes up they realize that he has no memory of who he is. On the island, while struggling to remember anything from his past, he parades as a straight man, even to the point of establishing a romantic relationship with a girl. . Every once in a while, he gives off hints of his flamboyance (given he can't even remember his sexuality- weird!), example when he chances upon a chiseled fisherman and swoons. Eventually a social media post helps his boyfriend come find him. His memory is soon back, gets married to his boyfriend and he decides to leave his stressful Manila life to make base on the island since this is where he was given a 'family' treatment.
There is absolutely nothing good about the film. Kimmer is shown as an awful character within 5 monists of film, treating people badly who want a selfie with him or even his caretaker. So when he loses his memory, we, as an audience could care less. But we secretly hope we will get to see some fun and laugh worthy moments. The jokes are uninspired and there are long stretches of dullness that separate every uneven attempt to be funny. The film could have been a celebration of equal love or making a string point about sexuality but everything is just so ordinary, that IU was pleasantly surprised why did the lead decide to do a film like this. The characters are all shallow, and fail to connect ether at human or fun level. This film is easily forgettable. (3/10)
