just bad.

the only thing that kept me watching this was my unfavthomable bordem and being curious about what crazy random thing they were going to add next. (and the fact that its onlyoneof)

this was just really really bad. the acting was really cheesy and bad, but at least they're idols and not professional actors. the acting for the villain was espeically bad, it was just so cringey and i could barely watch. i didn't like the whole gay buissness concept, i mean like i guess its trying to be so meta and life changing in the way they're trying to disect the social norm of shipping kpop idols but like actually making it the concept to get queer fans (legit queerbaiting!) is gross. also production budget was low im sure cuz the quality was really not that good, even that acting of the characters who weren't the idols was bad too.

the romance between the two mains wasn't even good so like the concept wasn't even worth it. they really didn't have much chemistry and i hattttttted the way mills character was like the "innocent" one like it was lowkey weird and gross and hard to watch. there was so much random weird plot going on like the evil guy legit trying to get his henchwoman to have sex with the main without his consent... gross. and even if i considered that maybe it's just an actual evil thing to do, it was impossible to believe that while watching because the acting was so bad and cringey. so many random plots too to try and involve all the members but itmade it really confusing and took away from the main romance.

the only good thing about this show was the music, cuz i loooove onlyoneof's songs and that was basically the only soundtrack in the show.

sweet, but lacking.

definitley wasn't a bad bl, the quality was pretty good and had good characters, i liked hyein especially. the insomna plot was cute, but i really just couldn't get with the chemistry betweent the main two. there really wasn't that many romantic scenes, and most of them were from the flashbacks from five years ago (which isn't necessarily bad, but is the only reason you're falling in love now is beacause you had cute moments 5 years ago?) i just wish there was more of the recent cute moments instead of only flashback ones. the plot was silly and not very realistic but still cute. i wish the characters were more fleshed out because it felt like we didn't really get to see their real personalities, just the tropes. music was meh but overall it wasn't very memorable of a show. maybe if it was a bit longer and they spent more time building the current romance instead of showing the past.

pretty sweet!

i randomly clicked on this on netflix and was pleasantly suprised! two mains are really sweet, i found the actor for kakeru very talented, he really embodied the role. also loved yui's character he was really funny and supportive. the romatic tension scenes were actually really good, they really followed the classic tropes but still were natural. especially the sleeping bag trip one that one was sooo well done.

something i didn't really like though was the way yamato forgot about the kiss on the bridge. it kind of made the buildup all worthless, and i didn't really enjoy the last few episodes after that. the thing that probably threw me off the most was the overuse of the bokeh filter when anything slightly romantic happend. i understand its there to show the watcher that the scene is making the characters feel butterflies and all that but it was just TOOOO much. it showed up almost every episode more than once and it definitley took away from the emotionalness of the scenes because i was too busy laughing over the fact that omg heres the bokeh filter again! the filming and actual camera work of the bl was really good (besides bokeh..) and definitley added to the enjoyement.

though this had some flaws, over all it was pretty sweet and was of high quality.

just beautiful.

this was the most beautiful bl, not only by cinematography but storywise as well. the romance was so deep, it was so much more of a serious bl and i loved that! it didn't only focus on the romance, there was a lot of it focusing on the characters themselves and their struggles which I LOOOOOVEED. something other bls need to take notes on, it really fleshes out the characters and makes them that much more real! again the cinematography was amazing. scenes were shot so beautifully and the quality was just amazing. the whole surfing plot was TO DIE FOR. i love surfing and ocean aesthetic so i loved this. such a beautiful and respectful way of talking about mental health and depression as well, i've never really see a show do it so good and so real. also LOVE the how the side characters were actually accepting, it was just so sweet. all the side characters were really good too, they felt like real people and not just there to assist the main couple. love my supportive queens yoon won and ae-ri.

ugh this is just the most gorgeous produciton. yes their love wasn't a perfect cute bl love, but it was raw and real. watch this if you haven't it'll change your life.

not my fave but still cute.

this one im kinda not sure where to rate it cuz i actually liked it but some parts i really didn't. i really liked the romantic scenes in this bl, a lot of them were so cute and tropey and i found them really cute. i didn't like the actual plot and story of the romance, because it was really tied up and far fetched. i mean the two mains didn't even like eachother like that before, and one of them even really liked someone else at the start. to switch it all up (and i means ALLLLL UP) is a little crazy, i mean i guess it could happen but it didn't even take place over that much time so like... also some of the acting threw me off, like ida isn't really emotinal at all so it's kinda hard to see romance from his side. and aoki was a little cringey in the japanese bl way, and it became a bit too much sometimes. idk their relationship just didn't seem very strong, and i didn't see much of a connection. though besides that the romantic scenes were cute and it was pretty high quality on the production side.

SO CUTE

one of my fave bls it's jsut so cute and sweet i love it. i first read the manga (go read it if you haven't!) and it was sooo good so when i heard about the show i HAD to watch. supringly it did not disappoint, a lot of bl manga and webtoons have actually been destroyed by being turned into a tv show.

this is one of the cutest bls out there, their connection is so pure and sweet. it really is perfectly paced, it didn't feel rushed at all and i felt like i really saw a genuine connection grow between the characters. the storyline with the food was just so unique too, there nothing else like it. and how can i write a review about it without mentioning tane! god he is soooo adorable and really was so sweet. he adds this pure and childlike element to the romance between the two mains, and the way he plays into interuppting or starting romantic moments between minoru and yutaka. also he's just really cute and always made me smile when he was on screen.

overall this is just so cute (i know i've said that a million times but it's because it's TRUE!), and such a beautiful story. also sweet that they didn't remove the kiss scene that's in the manga cuz i find its rare in japenese bl.

just not what i thought it was

i was definitley mislead by tiktok to think that this is a genuine romance, but it really isn't. i really was just looking for a cute romance and even if this was that sometimes, the unsatisfying ending of it all being fake really left me wanting more. even if one of the characters does think its geniune, the other charachter was just playing him the whole time as a way to have fun. legit more psych than romance.
i thought the acting was actually pretty good, espeically beacause its done by idols and not actors.

honestly it wasn't that bad but really i was just mislead by the edits and i didn't end up liking what i got.

best bl to ever grace this earth...

if anyone is considering watching, do yourself a favor and start now.

this is the best drama i've ever watched. the story was so well done and suprisingly paced well, it didn't feel rushed at all. it actually had a cohesive storyline that I could follow, unlike some of the other far fetched and confusing storylines that seem to be prominent in bls. the romance in this drama is top tier, all of their romantic scenes were amazingly done and they felt natural, not awkward or out of nowhere at all. the music is suprisngly good, it seems to be hard to find dramas with good music lately. they're so good i even had to put them on my playlist, i really like can you stay. actors are really good too, i feel their chemistry! loooove the side characters too.

overall this is just an amazing drama and i've rewatched it like a billion times ;P

go girl give us nothing!

i saw edits of this and i was like omggg i gotta watch. NEVER again will i trust tiktok edits again. i kinda liked this at the start, but i wasn't a fan of daon and taekyung as a couple so it was a little boring to watch. they just didn't have much chemistry at all?? like they were just too nice no romantic banter. thats why i liked shinwoo and taekyung, because they had that (sometimes..). but after it took literally the WHOLE series to get over the first couple, there was no time for them!! they developped too quick and it was just bad like there was no romantic scenes at ALL. like how does he liked shinwoo when one minute ago he was talking to daon about how he liked him like its too fast. also the music was so bad like they just repeated the same bad background music over and over again. quality of acting wasn't the best, like there was no chemistry between anyone. if anything i thought there was more between namgoong and sohee like... this was just not enjoyable in general like it was so long too and for what. like its impossible to even like the couples when they have 0 romantic tension scenes. also the final kiss was HORRID.
