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...
A very successful married doctor is struggling with his feelings. Of late, more and more he wants to wear female undergarments and even dreams of makeup and dresses. Bt given his profession(gynecologist) and him having two kids don't make things easy. His eldest son, almost 18, is dealing with a pregnant girlfriend unknown to his parents, younger 10 year old son is seeking sexual experiences online, and his wife is frustrated for having had sex and her son's friend openly flirts with her and make advances. When a trans male visits his office for medical checkup, it surprises the doctor because of his boldness but also because it is probably the first time he is interacting with such a patient. Initially hesitant, he agrees to be his doctor, but never has the courage to admit to his own feelings. Thankfully halloween is fast approaching and he decides to dress up as a nurse. The reactions he gets from his colleagues and neighbors etc including his ids and parents is not what he expects. The film ends at an open note where the family has come together but there is really no conclusion to the doctors inner turmoil.
The film feels like an after thought to be honest. It is trying to deal too many issues at the same time. A much better scenario and story would have been how the doctor would have taken courage in a small town to come out and be who he really is. I know its easier said than done, but it feels the idea and the main issue was just brushed upon. It ass never really discussed or viewpoints addressed. I wasn't expecting a conclusion when the moment I realized that this film is going to be all over the place. Which is such a shame because this film had some really fine casting and very well known actors. To use such great names and do injustice to both script and overall theme is sad. Trans is a complex topic and treating it so trivially is gross injustice. Watching this film, would eve no education or opinion to anyone since the film doesn't even take side to right or wrong. It just shows people's prejudices as they are. The only good thing was the trans couple who we meet as the doctor's patients and who are trying their best to live a life of honesty with every adversity coming their way. There are many much better films dealing with trans stories. This one can be avoided easily. (3/10)
