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...
Troy recently moved to Brooklyn with his friend Pat and his then-boyfriend Chance, but Troy and Chance broke up, and haven’t yet post-processed the breakup to see if they might reconcile. Troy works as a busboy and just generally walks around grumpy and bitter, still having feelings for his ex. When a new neighbor moves in, the sweet looking 29 year old middle school teacher Abel, Troy's hope for a rekindled romance with his ex-boyfriend gets officially placed on the back burner. Troy and Abel begin getting to know one another, complicating the “will they or won’t they” reunion with Chance. Chance comes back in hopes to rekindle there love but this time Troy sends him away. In parallel there is this story of Troy's roomie Pat trying to get a job with the mayor’s re-election campaign. Yeah!! This is pretty much the story without a proper ending.
As I said, given the acting by the lead Troy is so over the top, it gets irritating after a point IMO. It rarely had any comic effect, at least on me. Abel enters only episode 3, and only then the show/film becomes slightly interesting, but just not enough time is spent on the courtship. They go on one date, share a kiss and then another home date. We really don't get an idea of what really is going on here. Less bickering and more focus on character building might have been better for the makers. Despite its already short duration, it was really hard for me to sit through this. Mostly because of paper thin story, not engaging screenplay and some basic a don't good dialogues. I would not recommend this. (2.5/10)
