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...
Ryoma is a famous big actor who still hasn't forgotten about his childhood crush. Ten years ago, as a kid he crushed on his co-star, a little girl, who helped him get over his nervousness. In order to meet his crush again, Ryoma arranges a re-enactment of the wedding commercial ten years later, using the same actors as the previous ad. To his shock, it turns out his crush is actually a man names Izumi, who was dressed a sa girl for the commercial. The new wedding commercial is shot and somehow Ryoma can't get Izumi out of his head, despite being very disappointed by finding out that his crush is a boy. Izumi's popularity rises after the commercial but he has no interest in stardom but he is a geek and is more interested in publishing his first manga instead. Troubled Ryoma pays Izumi a visit and kisses him hoping to confront his feelings. Next day, Ryoma apologizes profusely for his inappropriate actions, hoping that he can start a friendship with Izumi on a much better note. Touched by his sincerity, Izumi keeps in contact with his new friend. The two of them forge a bond that gradually becomes romantic.
The storytelling is really awkward here and the focus keeps constantly shifting. The romantic track is half-baked and very shallow and just suddenly develops between the two characters. Some stories work well on paper but not as a live action film, I suppose. Also the comic timing is so poor that you barely crack a smile, forget laughter. The acting and direction was amateurish and exaggerated, as I already mentioned above and I'd blame the director for that. The actors were probably just doing what they were asked to do. The brother's love story with the manager was just touched upon for no reason whatsoever. Either that should have been a parallel track or there was no need for it all all. A huge disappointment overall. (3.5/10)
