Roommates? Cute co-worker couple!

I went into watching "Roommates of Poongduck 304" sincerely hoping it will be the BL drama Kim Ji Woong & Yoon Seo Bin's duo deserves (their previous project together "Kissable Lips" is forgettable at best) and thankfully it turned out to be everything I was hoping for!

Story: 8/10
Love that we have an actual plot here. It's not the most complicated plot and it has some missed opportunities but overall I'm happy with what we got. The romance was built well, the side story with the office was also OK in execution, only thing is I wish the story didn't get that clichey at the end. It feels like the writer(s) had some ideas for the first half and the middle but then had nothing to the end and just went "eff it, they'll just do what leads do in romcoms" ?

Acting/Cast: 10/10
Let's be honest, the main roles don't require much acting chops but Kim Ji Woong & Yoon Seo Bin perfectly demonstrated here they can do well and they can work well together. I think their chemistry was great! I liked the supporting cast also (despite them being underdeveloped and a little same-samey which was probably done because of the little number of episodes plus the focus being on the leads). All in all, the casting and acting feels just right to me.

Music: 5.5/10
I literally don't remember a single OST... I don't remember anything standing out as awful either so middle rating for me!

Rewatch Value: 6.5/10
I think I'll watch this again when I'm in the mood to watch a light, fluffy BL and don't see anything new on the market ?

Overall: 7.5/10
It was worth watching for me because 1) of the amazing chemistry between Kim Ji Woong & Yoon Seo Bin's characters and 2) of the fact the actors got the redemption they needed coming off "Kissable Lips". Please don't watch that drama, just watch this one!
