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...
The main character here is Shi Hyun. He has just returned home after a long time and is shocked to find his younger sister too engrossed in computer games. She lives in virtual world of comics and otaku (a young person who is obsessed with computers or particular aspects of popular culture to the detriment of their social skills). And because of this she is obsessed with Mong Ryong. He is president in some gaming company. Shi Hyun joins the company, to do something so his sister can come back to real world, to the reality she should be living in. But as employee and president Mong Ryong doesn't want that. A cat-mouse game starts, which is initially funny but then becomes a bit thriller of sorts (Shi Hyun had earlier made a woman bankrupt , while in a separate incident Mong RYing had fired an employee), which I did not completely understand. There is some flirting, romance hint between the two but never fully explored.
The overall plot was extremely confusing and I felt that the idea of bringing in homosexuality was pointless and didn’t really have anything to do with anything. I think the plot (the little there was) needed more time to develop. Looking back over the ten episodes, I don’t really know or understand many of the motives of the characters. The acting was fine by everyone involved because they tried to give a comic vibe but somewhere in second half it just did not work, and I would think it is largely because of the genre shift midway from a story perspective. Yes, it was a short series and did not ask for too much commitment, but almost a total lack of any romantic love angle between two men, I feel like I wasted my time. (2.5/10)
