I wish they had more FUCKING time together
I wish they had more FUCKING time togetherI doubt you have seen any of my reviews on other shows, but something that makes me very upset with shows is when the couple only has like 5 minutes together as an actual couple. I need at least 1-3 EPISODES OF THEM TOGETHER WITH NOTHING GOING WRONG. And this show didn't suffice, they deadass spent 45 seconds as a couple and then the credits started rolling like wtfffff.
First off the theme song is mad catchy. When I first heard it I was like damn this shit is so catchy. Now i have added it to my main playlist and I listen to it almost every day.
So I don't read the descriptions of shows before I watch them so when I found out that it was a marathon training/running BL I almost cried. I wrote in my notes, "marathons hit too close to home and I don't know how to feel." I run (not for fun) track and cross country and to say I was conflicted by this BL is an understatement. Also, the training shit was not realistic at all and you should NOT be running that fast in a 26k with no training. So the realistic factor is thrown out the window. But I won't take any stars off, I just need to rant.
When Jin Won said he wanted him to be his peacemaker and Sang Ha jumped into his arms my heart smiled. It was the cutest thing ever. Jin Won was telling Sang Ha to get off and he didn't which added to the cuteness factor.
The forced kiss was a 10/10. And I loved the creepy fanboy plot.
Sang Ha's tragic backstory also felt inevitable, but I still feel like it played a very important role in shaping this BL.
The loan sharks that were harassing Sang Ha for like half the show about not paying off his debt literally were cheering him on so much during the race. That was so cute. At first, it was a bit threatening, but when they were so proud of him and actually got rid of his debt once he paid it off instead of holding it above him was adorable.
The ending line was cheesy, but I loved it.
YOU KNOW WHAT I DIDN'T LOVE? THE FACT THAT THEY STARTED RUNNING AT THE END OF THE DATE? LIKE EW GROSS. A RUNNING DATE SOUNDS LIKE THE WORSTTTTTTT FUCKING IDEA (just kidding it was cute).
Final verdict 8/10. Their chemistry was awkward but I still loved it. I also WISH they had more time together.
Sorry about any grammar issues. English is my first language I just suck at it.

Standard series with standard chemistry
The storyline is so-so, I don't get invested so much in the story, characters, and everything that happened in this drama. There is no characters progress whatsoever, and I don't think the have great chemistry. Something's just feels off. Sometimes they are cute, but most of the times it's just bland. The acting is good tho, but of course they still can improve their acting skills.I don't really remember the soundtracks, that's maybe because I don't like it very much.
Overall this series is okay, you watch it when you feel bored. But for me, I definitely won't rewatch this.

Fluffy nonsense
This series was just so bad all around. It really felt like the lowest budget series I have ever watched. There is zero continuity in this drama. One of the leads got punched several times but we see him in the next scene on the same day and he has zero bruises.This “I am so poor and struggling so hard financially but won’t take your money because I love you or hate you” only happens in dramas and movies lemme tell you. IRL that shit won’t happen. You need money so badly to pay off debtors that are goons but you won’t agree to get paid doing a job you are already doing because you are doing it for love, that is such BS and they need to stop portraying this martyr act BS in dramas. It’s not like it’s free money or hand me downs. I don’t even know what the hell is wrong with free money as long as it was giving to you and not stolen. Most of the so called rich people do so many shady things to make their money and get good lawyers/accountants to evade taxes and pocket more money and they don’t feel an atom of shame, why then should anyone who is struggling financially with no fault of theirs feel ashamed to receive free financial help. I’m not struggling financially but best believe if anyone was to give me free money right now, I would very gladly take it and say thank you. IMO, There will never be anything wrong or awkward with receiving money legally and honorably through gifts or menial jobs especially when the money is severely needed.
Back to the review, I actually really liked the main characters, they were very cute and i especially liked how Sangha was sassy and spunky, he always spoke his mind. I am so over how majority of one of the leads in BL drama being extremely/painfully timid almost to the point of stupid and fearing their own shadows because the writers wants to portray them as being cute.
I really wanted to rate this higher because of how cute the main leads were but I just cannot justify giving this anything more than 4/10.
Rewatch Value 1/10
Overall Value 4/10

Good
It's a pretty good drama, the storyline was okay, it was just a bit basic. The drama did have fluff scenes, and i really liked it. This is more of an enemy to lover kind of drama because JinWon didn't really enjoy SangHa, but the drama is short too, which is okay. But i think in my opinion, this drama is pretty basic. JinWon is more of the character i kind of dislike lol. The romance is also pretty nice, but the plot, might need some more improvement. BUt overall, this drama is really cute and i do recommend.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Good Enough
Korean Mini Drama " Mr Heart " is a cute short drama with a light storyline.The drama uses a lot of the trops found in many romantic comedies, they even used the cold guy-cute guy couple dynamics. However, somehow, all these cliches were not cheesy or cringe-worthy and they actually suited the story well. The use of the sports theme was interesting too, as well as the whole family drama of the lead. However, his partner's story was not that well presented, though that's probably due to the drama's length.
The performances, finally, were all great by everyone in the cast, the couple had chemistry and were adorable and the running scenes were well managed.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

Die Story find's ich spannend. Ich mag Enemies to Lover tropes ganz gerne und war neugierig, wie sich die Entwicklung hier abspielt. Leider sieht man gar nicht all zu viel davon, wie ich finde. Das mag sicherlich auch an der Kürze der Serie liegen und viele kurze Shows schaffen es, die Geschichte so zu zeigen, dass ich nicht das Gefühl habe, dass mir etwas Essentielles fehlt. Hier hätte ich allerdings gerne etwas mehr davon gesehen, wie sich Jin Wons Gefühle im Laufe verändern. Das passiert doch recht schnell.
Ein weiterer Kritikpunkt ist für mich die Timeline. Ich war manchmal ziemlich verwirrt, weil ich nicht ganz nachvollziehen konnte, wie die Situationen zu stande kamen. Es wurde eben viel von der Entwicklung übersprungen und manchmal wusste ich dann auch nicht, ob die Szene nun tatsächlich passiert, oder es nur eine Vorstellung ist. ^^' Desweiteren hatte ich Schwierigkeiten, eine bestimmte Entscheidung nachzuvollziehen. Ich war dann nur noch verwirrt, weil ich nicht verstanden hatte, wieso die Geschichte nun so verläuft. Das hätte man evtl. besser erläutern können.
Davon abgesehen fand ich die Entwicklung, zumindest das, was man zusehen bekam, aber sehr schön. Die Schauspieler beschreiben das Drama im Viki-Interview mit folgenden Worten: unschuldig, erfrischend, süß, schön und hoffnungsvoll.
Und das empfinde ich als ziemlich passend.
Se Jin hat Sang Ha wirklich perfekt gespielt. Die Persönlichkeit kommt authentisch rüber und sein Aussehen passt einfach 100% zu Sang Ha. Er ist ein selbstloser, unschuldiger und liebevoller Charakter, den ich sofort sympathisch fand. Er ist offen, ehrlich und direkt, was ihn in meinen Augen absolut liebenswert und angenehm macht. Man muss sich bei ihm nicht fragen, woran man ist oder was er von einem hält. Ich liebe solche Figuren.
Auch Seung Ho hat Jin Won gut verkörpert. Man spürt deutlich die Zerrissenheit. Jin Won kämpft mit seinen Gefühlen, was gut dargestellt wurde und definitiv bei mir ankam.
Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass so ein kurzes Drama viele Gefühle bei mir auslöst, aber tatsächlich fand ich die beiden süß und habe gemerkt, dass ich definitiv gespannt bin, auf welchem Weg sich die Beziehung entwickelt. Die Chemie war auch gut. Und ein bisschen Angst war sogar auch dabei, damit hatte ich überhaupt nicht gerechnet.
Oh! Und ich mochte den Soundtrack sehr gerne. Direkt zu Folge 1 als das Intro ertönte war ich positiv gestimmt, weil die Musik einen in die perfekte Mood für das Drama bringt. ^-^
Trotz der Kritik hat das Drama Spaß gemacht, auch wenn's definitiv eher zum Mittelfeld gehört.

Well... Korean BL
It wasn't the worst drama. The story was quite interesting and cute, perfect to watch for stress relief. Unfortunately, the production was apparently done on a budget and some plots didn't connect, and in my opinion the 10 minute episodes are way too short. We can't exactly see the timing of the development of the characters' feelings for each other, certainly an issue that should have received much more attention. I would also like to know more about the history as well as the past of our characters. I was a little bit confused by the final episode and the motive behind Sang Ha's actions, but everything somehow became clearer in the last couple minutes? In conclusion - I'm glad Korea started making BL dramas, however, it could have been done better.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
ESQUECÍVEL
Absolutamente nada se destaca. Você assiste e 10 minutos depois nem pensa mais nisso.Não é bom e nem ruim, mas definitivamente poderia ser muito melhor.
Gosto da dinâmica de um ser todo pobre e acabado enquanto o outro é rico e tem um bom status mas aqui foi bem mais ou menos e como sempre o que é pobre acaba se dando bem (acho meio irrealista e sonhador demais mas também não me incomoda tanto).
Enfim, não tem nada de especial e a química não existe, parecem dois amigos que se ajudam e por isso um tem grande carinho pelo outro.

Need to Cheer Up [Milk]? Watch this! :)
the number of scenes that had my heart racing from the adorableness exuding from the two characters’ interactions (minus that misplaced anger punch towards the end there) was enough to keep me craving more. i enjoyed most of the scenes with Sang Ha since his character was the sweet-smiley type with a tragic backstory (shoutout to the dead moms in dramas who drive the plot postmortem). also, can we talk about the actor who played Sang Ha, because i don’t know about y’all but the fellow can act. he had me close to tears when he was talking about when he starting delivering milk (i may never again look at a milk carton without shedding at least a single tear). wasn’t expecting a loan shark subplot or any physical violence (though not explicit) but overall found most of this drama cute and fairly well done. the kissing wasn’t dramatically intense or uncomfortably stale, instead it was surprisingly wholesome (quick/prolonged pecks did the job for this 8ep series). honorable mention to Sang Ha’s imagination for giving us an adorable couple’s dance concept (which i hope to one day recreate with my significant other/partner) already plan to rewatch this!Esta resenha foi útil para você?

Nonsensical, corny and, worst of all, toxic (well done spoilers)
I decided to watch this on a whim because the episodes were short enough for me to binge this for an evening. And, boy, was it disappointing.The series started off with an interesting premise - Won, a renowned athlete, loses his drive for running marathons and he finds it through a junior of his, who is a literal sunshine. Oh, wait, he manages to do so in the first episode. Huh... Okay, well, at least we have that same junior, Sang Ha, who had been adoring his hyung ever since he saw him running for the first time in high-school, aaaaand... what's his character arc again?
Well, if you're looking for any character development from these two, forget it. Instead, be prepared for a plethora of completely disconnected plot points whose whole goal is to add the unnecessary drama and odd backstory elements, which are sprung out of nowhere and sometimes even seem to contradict the characters' behaviours. Sang Ha has a whole "my-parent-dies-so-I-must-pay-their-debt" subplot, which I'm not mad at, but it's executed so badly that I cringed the entire time. The bad guys literally abused him before crying tears of happiness for him in the end and wishing him well in life. What the actual fuck? There just wasn't enough time to integrate such a heavy topic in a well manner, and it showed. Won, on the other hand, for being such a smart person and knowing not to enter a hot pool before taking a cold shower, has literally zero sense about why Sang Ha didn't buy new shoes even though Sang Ha spelled out his debt situation to him.
The fluff was cute, and I enjoyed their moments of closeness, but they were completely shadowed by the horrible dynamic between the two. Won is such a toxic person who always yells to Sang Ha's face for literally every single thing the guy does. Not to mention that, when they matched again after being separated for a while, his first instinct was to punch Sang Ha in the face! WHY?! I DESPISE any kind of toxicity, and I could not forgive this. Sang Ha is not better either. In the middle of explaining what happened to him, he decides to emotionally manipulate Won by sprinkling suicidal tendencies while telling him how his happiness and only purpose in his life is to be Won's pacemaker. I was thoroughly disgusted, which, in the end, left me saddened since I very much like the cast, and the actors did a great job portraying the actually romantic stuff in this "romance" series.
Finally, when they got together in the end, I prayed they wouldn't start running on their date. And guess what happened? THEY DID. ON THEIR DATE. IN SHIRTS AND PANTS. I feel so bad for the actors that this will be permanently in their catalogue.
At least the OST was perfect.
Overall - Save yourself time and don't watch it, unless you are a romance writer who wants to learn how to avoid writing toxic relationships & corny endings.

What the hell...
So I have been putting this BL off ever since its release and finally decided to watch 2 years after release. This BL is not good. I do not know if you can even call this a BL. First of all, the main cast's relationship is extremely toxic. The tall dude treats the short guy like shit for the first like 6 eps and then magically they get together? Its so weird. What baffles me most is that Sangha is in such a shitty situation and the other dude does nothing to console Sangha. It just made it uncomfortable to watch. The acting is pretty good for how short it is and the music is good. Sangha also randomly kisses his senior without consent which just makes it a shitshow. Honestly I do not know how others have liked this. Probably just because the actors look decent and are Korean.Please watch other BLs. An example of a great Korean BL is Blueming. Beautiful, deep, fleshed out, understandable, better chemistry, and more handsome actors on top of this. Dont waste your time with this, even if you are a BL fan.

Short & Sweet
This was not a groundbreaking BL - the plot/storyline was pretty basic.Youth love. i think a main difference here was Sang Ha openly expressing his love for Jin Won without having a secret about his love or needing friends to help motivate him to tell Jin Won. He was very open and assertive.
this is very short series, so no harm - no foul if you don't like it. not as if you've invested weeks or multiple days into it, but i do think it's a cool watch while waiting for another deeper BL to arrive. I usually prefer Thai series, but i'm not totally against Korean series/movies. the subject matter is a bit different. if this were a Thai series, things would have been a bit different. not saying that's a negative or positive. Thai directions usually add a lot of messy mess (sometimes unnecessary) but i know some enjoy that sort of thing.
it's worth a watch & maybe a rewatch later, if you missed something or just enjoy the actors. Let's be real, who doesn't enjoy Cheon Seung Ho =)
