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...
One day, while driving Thien gets into an accident and hits another boy named Khanh, who is wearing a girl's dress. Scared o going to hospital, Thien brings him home. He is not serious, he takes care of him and that nightie two boys get into a one night stand and Khanh leaves early morning. Two months later when Thien sees him at school, he has many questions that he wants answers to. Thien, who is an upcoming singer, uses the help of his friend who manages his business. Together they find out that Khanh lives with his adopted uncle who beats him every night and possibly also assaults him sexually (its never explicitly told). Thien saves him form that man and bring shim soon and soon the two boys start a relationship. This doesn't go well with the manager but Thien is happy and he wouldn't have any of it. Khanh continues to be the supportive boyfriend. But when one day the news of Thien being gay goes public, suddenly he is very scared of his future and image. To top that, his friend cum producer threatens him to ruin him if he continues his relationship. Scared, Thien fights with Khanh and asks him to leave immediately. Completely heartbroken, Khanh decides to end his life to save his love's career.
The idea behind the story was ok but the execution was amateurish. Firstly we are not given any proper introduction to who Thien is. Also, when you take a man/boy home to take care of, why on earth Ould you give them a cocktail? And to top that you have sex with that guy. That first night of their meeting is absurd beyond belief. It gets worse from here. The way Thien's manager friend try to find Khanh by installing camera in his room made me shell shocked. Despite all odds, Thien and Khanh end up being a cute couple. Thien knows the struggles this guy has been through, so obviously when his manager threatens him, you think he will do the right thing. But surprise, he drops his life like a piece of hot cake. Just like that. No remorse, no apology, nothing. His character takes a complete u-turn in that last scene which doesn't even make sense. And then the suicide happens. So, my question is what is the message that the makers are trying to send with a show like this. It was alright while Thien was nice and he actually was a good boy. The duo made a good couple, spent time with one another and cared for each other. I bet, the makers could have come up with a happy positive ending to the show rather than this lame climax, which I guess has to be one of the worst ending of a BL series, and probably done just for the shock value. I mean, I can't think of any other reason. If you wanna watch this, go ahead and just watch the first 4 episodes only. The last one just ruins everything. (4/10)
