Heart Fluttering BL
I just rewatched this and still love it! It's heart fluttering cute BL.I learnt sth new about pacemaker and found the concept interesting. I also love how the ML actually trained his running skills due to his life situation. What a blessing in disguise
There are lots of cute little moment as well as touching moments. The sincerity of the ML really touches my heart , It's also inspiring to see the impact one person' life has on another, something that might be nothing for you may mean the world for others. It's deep and meaningful in its own way, although it's overall lighthearted and entertaining
Is there plothole? Yes
Is it perfect? No
Is it satisfying to watch? YES!
If you're just here for feel good BL, you're in right place

That rare BL where it's good without being toxic!
It's SOOOO gooood, much better than expected, especially after reading the bad reviewsI started wondering what people are expecting from BL nowadays, especially for a short series like this....
For me, watching show is about enjoying, and since I enjoy it a lot, this is a 10! I am not here to be come a movie critique or anything. For sth that's only 15 minutes x 8 episodes, it's very welldone.
For me, the concept is somewhat refreshing, at least it's not another high school BL, or employee/boss story...
Also, its healthy and non toxic, which we know is RARE these days in BL.
Okay, sure the idea of selling Business Gay Performance is downright unethical in my opinion and I don't support that, but putting that aside, the actual relationship between the couples are actually real, honest and healthiest one I've seen for a while.
I love the built up of their sexual tension, the little way they care for each other and how they eventually fell for each other.
Oh my, don't get me started on visual of Nine, I definitely want to see him in more BL.
I really enjoy every episode, without skipping it. The OST is nice too.
It's a really nice cute, fluffy, heartwarming BL to watch. Something light, no heavy plot.
Overall, I really love this couple and this show! I'm not sure if I wanna see them again as couple, but I dfeinitey want to see Nine acting in BL again!

It turn out to be a mess!
What started out as a sweet romcom just went downhill....I understand that there are bound to be issues in relationship but I feel the issues at hand here is unnecessarily complicated, messy and unhealthy!
I don't like how Cher is still not moving on from the past and I hate that Boss has to clear up the mess associated with this! To make it worse, Cher wasn't even an item with Thian. Wth is going on here.
It gets really messy and all over the place in the last few episodes, I started skipping parts and eventually dropped this drama since I just ended up disappointed and frustrated
As I said, it started out really great, I was looking forward to every episoe, I was not skippping any parts, until it gets unnecesarily dramatic.
Force's great acting is what's keeping me to rate this drama above 7!

I like it soooo much!
TayNew chemistry is off the roof! I didn't get to watch them as I didn't really like the previous series they were on, but I'm glad I've a chance to appreciate their amazing chemistry and acting here! I want to see more of them!Karan's inner voice is so funny, especially when he sings off-key, The 1st half of the show are so funny that I laughed out loud almost at every episodes, the 2nd half is funny too but it starts to get more romantic
Best part? Wedding!!!! After TharnType, I don't remember seeing any wedding I like, and I'm so happy to get this wedding . I also love how they proposed to each other, that's super cool, why didn't I ever think of that?
I also love other characters in the show, they are what makes the entire series came alive. Really well-balanced and well-made show. I actually wish to see Mark as a main lead next time
My heart is so full after watching this, it's really worth every episode spent!!
Also, I am now a new TayNew fan, anyone else?!

So sweet, I died
My headline says it all, it literally is just that lolThis is a very simple show, no major plot twist or drama. A sweet, fluffy, cute BL.
Despite that, it's very nice to watch, especially if you're taking a break from heavier dramas.
I do love the little twist when I found out that they know each other since childhood. That little details add flavor to the otherwise a little too bland show.
I enjoy this overall. Watch it and judge it for yoruself!
The only thing I wish for is a 2nd couple which didn't happen, but that's just minor detail. I still love watching their interaction regardless.

ForceBook Saves the Show!!!
I came here after "Boss and Babe" and I love the dynamics ForceBook has here. Especially Force, who has a very different character in this show, displaying his versatile acting!Their chemistry saves the show! There are moments where I got frustrated by the plot, especially the drama revolving the 4 guys in it, but each time ForceBook kept me going with their chemistry
There are parts where it might look ridiculous and all, but if you stay on, like I did, you'll understand the reasons why everything happen the way it does. It is actually really sweet!
Also, the ending is beautiful, and I love all the little details they put on how ForceBook are expressing their love for each other, in a subtle not subtle way lol
My fav? The fact there is no typical top-bottom, overjealous toxic drama! But, pure love, support and understanding for one another, as a friend and as. a lover.
Don't read what other people say about the show, especially the negative rating. Watch it and rate it for yourself. If you don't like it, simply drop it. But, if you don't give it a shot, you might just miss out a beautiful love story!

I finally got my "Mew" dose!
If you can't stand Mew speaking Thai while the rest speak in Korean, then skip this show now, so you don't end up whining lolI'm solely here for Mew and I don't regret it. I've missed Mew since TharnType and this is the one show I see him again after so long. Boy, I miss that smile, that charming look and all of Mew.
Besides Mew, I do like the other co-star as well, especially JM and the vet (except for the baddies)
It's not the best BL out there but it really isn't that bad, really.
Plus, the title gives it all! You can pretty much know the show is gonna be somewhat shallow, fluffy and lighthearted from the title. So, don't expect more than that and just enjoy the show.
If you're someone who's looking for that perfect show that nails every aspect, then get out of this show. If you just want something nice to watch before sleep to unwind, then you are in for little treat

Season 3 please!?
Althou I doubt there'll be S3, I'll gladly be open to that possibility!Personally, I'm disappointed that DoJin died. Although I am happy at how they wrap up his death, I watch this show because of him! So, this is the one disappointnment I have. I also feel that the romance could be better. I am not very excited about the romance between ML and FL. I usually am the one who ship the couple, but not this one. I guess, I must have been on team Dojin lol...But, this is just my personal preference
Despite this, I'm still rating it 10, because objectively the drama is actually very well done
I actually enjoy Do Ha's role a lot. I find his role very interesting. It's first time I've seen someone who knows how to make and denote bomb and do autopsy at same time. That's dope! Samsoon is also a dope one!
Even Dex is a really well developed character, very cool and talented, of course I disagree and dislike his malicious intent, but at least he is good at being evil.
I suspected that the ML didn't die but then I got fooled when I saw the autopsy being carried out, but who knows that its a fake too! That, totally got me. What a plot twist.
Overall, I really love how well balanced this drama is. Solid teamwork within and across team. It's not a drama that focuses only one main characters, but truly everyone plays a part.
I really enjoy this drama. Thank you!

Irritating female lead!
I'm here for Lee Dong Wook, and even then, I couldn't bear to watch through the series despite wanting to watch him! The storyline itself is quite nice, actually. I love the fantasy element of it all, except....The immature, childish, stubborn, reckless and irritating FL. I'm afraid this is a very unhealthy and toxic portrayal on how a woman should behave!
The fame of the show seems to agree that the FL needs to be "saved" all the time, that it's okay to be demanding and act cute towards a guy, because people think that's cute?
But, it just further promotes behavior of woman having to act cute, pretend to be weak, and to be spoilt, just because they are female.
My intolerance towards FL made me dropped the show. This means a lot, because I usually am very generous with rating. I easily give a rating of 8-10, in general. So, for me to give this rating means that's how underrated and disappointing this show is
Having said that, I really hope people still continue watching LDW, because he is an amazing actor! It's not his fault that the show turns out this way :P

Filled with fillers!
Main reason I dropped the show isn't because of the story per se, but I just don't feel that attracted by ML, FL or both of them. Nothing specifically charismatic here, despite the ML being actually cute as a person, but the character here just doesn't quite cut it.As for the show, It's unnecessarily draggy and gets boring over time. It started out funny and somewhat exciting for first few episodes, and it just gets boring. It's actually quite nice and funny, but it's not something that needs 16 episodes. well, it's a typical long-winded Kdrama style lol... Honestly, its not that bad, its just too much fillers for me, so i ended up skipping parts.
But, if you like something easy to watch, and just relax, give it a try.

I tried but it did't work out
I came here after watching You are my Soul Mate and get really disappointed.I know I shouldn't compare but I could feel the drop in standard
I don't feel as entertained at all. It's not that funny, nor loving or cute. It just feels like a bunch of a mess.
I tried to watch since it's a short episode anyway but can't stand it and dropped it after 1.2 episode lol
Although, there are some funny moments but overall its quite boring and just nothing much is happening

SOOO good- I'm glad I found it!
It takes some time to get used to the FL as she was pretty annoying at beginning, but I'm glad I sticked through. The character development of the FL is amazing. Now, Lee Kyu Hyung totally killed it! I'm here because of him and he is SO good here.I love the bickering moments between ML and FL. It brought lightheartedness amidst plot that could otherwise be heavy. Also, Silver Lining as OST is spot on- total bomb! One of the best OST
I really enjoy every episode. It has a really great mix of humour, suspense, thriller and touching moments all mixed up together.
Oh- and that one liner as the ending- totally nails it!

Hot boxer and sexy doctor? OH YES!
I love how positive the vibe of this show is- been a while I watch BL like this!While I absolutely love NCs, I appreciate how this show is able to carry its weight without having to sell NC only.
This is one of the rare FWB show that is actually non-toxic but healthy! I love how Yoryak and Wandee supports each other dreams, how they care and understand one another and just so many of the lovey doves moments. I melt!
Highlight for me is actually Cher!!! I'm a big fan of OyeCher- I want them with their own series! I love how their love story really feels DEEP and REAL= like it's very realistic instead of only fluffy. I really love the proposal scene. It is the simplest yet sweetest one I've watched. It totally touches my heart and makes me cry. I mean, there isn't anything near fancy yet its beautiful and sincere.
I also love how this carries positive message such as HPV vaccination, normalising mental health care and the implicit meaning of "My Good Day, MY Choice"! They even educate on asexual a little, really well done at GMMTV is constantly expanding its inclusivity!
Very well done on ending where there's no loose end and everyone has their happy ending, including Dr. Ter and Thaem! Yay!
This is a funny, meaningful story, inspiring message, and great acting too- especially Great who plays Yoryak!

I'd love to see this couple in another setting again!
The acting is amazing! Really good- no cringe moment. NC is super good too!I love the storyline, really special where we dive into the role of a "stand in". this alone gives freshness to the BL industry. It really got me hooked, especially for 1st half of the show. It gets somewhat complicated/dramatic halfway through, but- the ending is SO satisfactory, that it's worth it
I especially like the last scene, it kinda gives us what we expect more of, but with twist of humour. I had a really good laugh at last scene yet feeling so warm and happy.
I really love Up's acting here. I've watched him in Lovely Writer which I love as well, and I'm glad to see him back and hope to see him in more BL.
The chemistry is really good, kiss scenes are good, and action scenes are good too. Loose ends are tied- it feels really nicely wrapped
I also love the overall pacing and vibe of the show. It feels really classy, well done and professional- not "on budget amateur" vibe that we sometimes get from BL .
I am really satisfied with this BL- been a while since I am this impressed since Last Twilight!
My little wish is to see this couple again- but this time round, lets make it less dramatic for them, I just want to see a lovey dove sweet BL story for them :)

I love everything but.....
The only thing I wish is if the old YeongHan is portrayed as happier than how it's currently being presentedI mean I understand if the funeral scene is meant to be sad, but I wish to see more smile/laughter in other scenes. I don't know, there's something about his look that is just sooooo sad. I mean, for a great life he has lived, i really wish to see a happy old man.
Plus, he looks like a totally different person than the younger version of YeongHan. Not just in looks, but in overall being. Perhaps, age has taken its toll on our young YeongHan :)
Besides that, I love the show very much, especially the part on the FL! When I first sense romance in the show, I'm like "you better not give me another cliche where the FL needs to be saved". Thanks God they know better than to do that and deliver us an FL role that we all love. Like, we can really see how she is the support pillar for YeongHan and has been helpful in many ways. I really love such portrayal of FL than the typical K drama tropes
The ending is extremely satisfying, especially when they did the last recap of all characters. The story is wrapped up very tightly and neatly. Well done
Of course, the acting, the story, and everything is great. I love that it's in 1958 and it gives us cases that is somewhat different from the modern day cases. That said, somehow there's a gloomy undertone throughout the show, despite some funny moments. Maybe, it's the nostalgic vibe of the 50s!?
The highlight for me? Lee Jee Hoon! Ngl, I'm here for him and he totally delivers! Brownie points? Seeing him in 50s trench coat is a look I never know I needed to see this lifetime and he's so dashing!!
Overally, I enjoyed it- I just wish it's a little funnier and. a little lighter in tone. But, that's more of personal preference than testament of the quality of show.
If you love a solid crime, action, detective show, with amazing cast, go for it. Every single team member of unit 1 is very lovable!
