Dissapointed
I do not even know where to start. This seris left me speechless but not in a very good way.I was excited to watch this series because I have watched "Where your eyes linger" from the same company. The bar was very high and I expected something as good as "Where your eyes linger". But I know it is wrong to compare these dramas because they are two different dramas.
Let's begin with the most disappointing part : the story. The writting was messy. Sure, the story was cute and light. That's a fact. But there were a lot of incoherences, plot holes which resulted in cringe scenes. For example, how he ended up in his bed in the beginning like ? You can't tell me he didnt see he was sleeping to someone else bed, can you ? I mean what ? I still don't get it. The fact that he give MILK in every single scenes, it was cute the first time, but after it was just cringe (very cringe) and it just felt like the brand sponsorised this show. It was forced. At the end, the cherries on top of the cake, when they though running on their first date was cool. No guys, it was cringe sorry.
On a positive note, the actors and the OSTs were good ! The reason why I gave it a 6.
Overall it was meh. This drama had limted budget and was shot during the confinement measures. It is important to keep that in mind when watching because it may have been difficult for them. I hope they will not repeat the same mistakes.

However, the middle of the drama was a little bit slow and even irrelevant. In fact, only some scenes were relevant during the middle of the drama. A couple of episodes in the middle felt like they were filler episodes. Overall, the beginning was good even though sometimes slow but it was made on purpose for the story to make sense so I can't complain, the middle in contrary was unecessary slow, and the ENDING was absolutely explosive, fire and epic ! So it's worth to watch until the end, I promise.
The cast was very well chosen. I have zero complain about the two main male actors, which were fabulous. Also the actor who have playedJang Chil Sung became my favorite character in the drama, he was very funny, I would even say he was the funniest character/actor and even his personality was so great that it's impossible to ignore it. These three actors did such a fantastic job! I was also very surprised by Jung Subin's acting which was remarkable, seriously.
The music is great, it goes with the drama perfectly so even if it is not the type of music I usually listen, there could have not been better osts for this type of comedy thriller drama.
In simple words, if you like comedy, if you like thriller, or if you BOTH, then go watch right now !

Acting/Cast -
First of all, I will talk about the two main leads, in others words, the main couple because it is clearly the strongest point of this drama. They were simply beautiful, Their chemistry was so nice, cute and fun. Their acting was enjoyable, it was very well done. I also have to mention Lee Si Kang's acting was very remarkable among them, because we cannot avoid the fact he stands out the most among them, so I have to mention him especially. But the two main leads were very good. I enjoy all of their scenes, I've rewatched their scenes multiple times to be honest. The side couples were okay, but some of their scenes were irrelevant in my opinion.
The story -
The story was quite good and fun. I enjoy the story and the plot. Since the lenght is short, the story was not meant to be the central point of the drama, so it was not particularly brilliant but it was good, so I have no complain.
The music -
It was okay.
Rewatch value -
The fact that each episode's lenght is around 15-20 min makes it easy to re watch it wathever the reason is. So my rating for the rewatch value is a solid 9.
Overall, I recommend it, like I said earlier, it was a pleasant surprise and the strongest point of the drama (aka the main couple) will cover up the weakest point of the drama, so it is worth to watch it !

Lovely and surprising !
Should we start with the story ?It was great, refreshing and surprising in many ways! Who can deny that the mono probe relationship was not great, refreshing and surprising ?
The acting/cast ? Amazing ! I have no complain about the cast, the cast is completely made for this drama. The main actors have done a fantastic job!
The music was absolutely wonderful, as expected, a bl kdrama is still a kdrama with quality OSTs.
The rewatch value ? Haha, I've rewatched it many times already, and I will certainly rewatch it!
So overall, a good 10 because why not ?

Our wish came true
"Where your eyes linger" has instantly become my favorite BL drama as soon as I've finished it. Yes, you have read it right and I'll try to remain calm while I write my review I promise :)The story is honestly good, it starts light and then goes more and more serious. Their acting is so great, it really looks, sounds authentic and real which is perfect! Their chemistry is such a precious gift for us. I like every single episode, not once I was thinking about dropping it.
The OSTs are all splendid, it is perfect, it fits the drama, it goes so well with the drama and it is such a pleasure to hear those good songs.
The fact it is short also makes the rewatch value high because it makes it easier to rewatch and I'm enjoying re-watching the drama again and again. But I also have to say that the fact it is short is both good and bad at the same time because I would like a season two, or a remake with longer episodes, and others South Korean BL dramas because it's really great and promising :)
As expected from South Korea, this BL drama is very good. For a first BL drama, South Korea has set the bar high, and I'm not exaggerating. It's really promising! This drama literally makes me so happy, it's a pure blessing from heaven so thank you very much to the cast, to the singers, to the producers, to all the people who have worked on it, to the staff, to everyone :')

Not my cup of tea, sorry.
I've started this drama because of all the good reviews it has received but I ended up dropping this drama at the episode 6. I even forced myself until the episode 6 because I wanted to see why it has received all those good criticism, but for that I've skipped a lot of scenes, way too much to be honest.The story sounds like a mess, to me. I really did not understand anything. Fantasy is not my cup of tea so it does not help at all.
The two main leads are very good especially the main one (the one who is quite stubborn 'in a good way'). They are good looking and well written. But even their interraction became boring after a while.
The action/fight scenes were really bad. To be frank I've skipped them all withouth hesitation. The reason is simple, it is as if we could see the rope that held the actors even though they did not appear on the screen we could clearly guess that they were well present. It is annoying. And, again, fantasy did not help it, I think it even made it worse.
The music is really not my cup of tea as well so I did not find it attractive, but that's my personal taste.
I respect those who have enjoyed the drama but to be clear, I would not recommend it. I am not saying this drama is bad, but in my opinion, it is overrated.
