This is the second vertical AI BL drama I've sat through, and honestly I went in knowing better. I had it on while I was doing cardio at the gym, and what struck me was just how much the plot echoed the last one I watched. Same step brother romance angle, same mystery girlfriend showing up near the end, same extra guy pining after one of the leads. Genuinely the only thing going for it was the runtime, the whole thing wrapped up in forty five minutes flat. The setup kicks off with Finn moving schools because his mom just married into money. He finds out his new step brother Aiden goes to the same place, and he's warned to keep his distance from him. Their first run in at school is rocky, just like you'd expect, but there's this odd pull between them neither can shake off. Finn keeps telling himself not to read into it because Aiden's straight and openly homophobic. Things shift when some kids start bullying Finn and the student council president, Ryan, steps in to ...
At their grandmother's insistence, Andrew and Frank marry each other but never see each other's faces. The show starts with Andrew leaving for 1 year business overseas and handing his husband his credit card with a promise to come back and get divorced. One year later, Frank is interviewing for Personal assistant to his new boss William. William gets totally smitten by Frank's hot face and body and hires him and tries to seduce him. But Frank resists temptation for two reasons: One, in his previous job he was seduced by his boss who ended up putting blame on Frank since he was married to a woman and second because Frank is now married. William has never been rejected in life and so he makes it amass ion that he will make sure Frank falls for him. While this is going on William (who is Andrew) also makes sure that his lawyers starting the divorce proceedings with his husband, who's I none other than Frank. There are many opportunities where Frank and William might get opportunity to know their secret but something happens and they both end up assuming that each other's friend is their husband or partner. Slowly Frank starts to realize that there is more to William than what he portrays and slowly starts to fall for him hard. Andrew/William's mother comes as a villain towards the end, but as you would expect eventually the truth comes out and they realize they wanted to divorce each other only so that they could marry.
TH thing with this show is that the story is totally non believable, yet t works. Sadly, the makers take the situation and keep stretching it out till the very last minute. Many situations are created where they would know the secret. For example William wonders why his husband and his assistants name is the same but never thinks more of it. I mean, why would you not even see faces if you ar both gay (agreed you were forced to marry but whatever). There are a lot of other characters like their friends or office co-workers who do everything to create confusion or sort it out. There was just a kiss and a simulated sex scene but nothing we see on the screen. It is a shame though since both t he actors were really good looking with chiseled faces. I think the reason why it worked mostly due to the charming characters. The two leads might not have the best acting, but they sure look great. This is again one of those brainless time-pass gay entertainers. (6/10)
