To start this off, this was my first BL drama, and I must say this show has ruined my future KDrama expectations; Any KDrama, BL or not.

The story: Even though every ep is only about 10 min long, the short episodes created a coherent story without any unneeded filler. Every line was picked out to represent the character's feelings perfectly, every scene where the main characters faces were seen was amazingly shot and the story was just remarkably beautiful, though the bodyguard/master trope was in the beginning, the story built up very well

Acting/Cast: The emotions portrayed by both the ML's were extremely nuanced. Every scene that they were in could be analyzed in essays, which many fans actually did. The time constraint, in my opinion, made for a more compelling watching experience, because the words that couldn't have been said due to lack of time were said by both the leads eyes. I'll be following both of these actors in their future dramas, I can't get enough of the nuances in their faces that say more than a 1000 words

Music: Loved it, spent the days between the episodes listening to the OST, will be continuing now as well

Rewatch value: Absolute. Have to restrain myself from going and rewatching the whole thing again. I miss those guys. Every ep is worth a rewatch, every scene between the main leads makes me feel something profound.

PS: I have never rated a drama 10/10, before I thought, that such a drama didn't exist. I am glad to be proven wrong

Note: Haven't seen the first part. I don't think you need to watch it, as it recaps everything what happened in the first part.

Watched this drama because it seemed like there would be a lot of cute scenes between the leads. If you're looking for those, I suggest skipping forward a bunch. I didn't skip as the story actually was quite interesting, but the story felt quite rushed at some points. I really wish we could have seen more scenes between the leads, as it sometimes felt like an afterthought.
The story line between the humans and superhumans was surprisingly done quite well, and even though I knew who the bad guy was before he was revealed, I do believe the reveal was done well, because I didn't feel like it was obvious nor was it completely out of the blue.
The relationships felt a bit off, as I didn't always understand character motivation, and the forgiveness for some terrible things came a bit too easy for my liking
Music: I thought it was well done, I'm on my way to Spotify to find some of the gems that were used, the music was timed very well

Why not a higher rating? Well, even though the drama itself was quite ok, there were still some points that bothered me, like the relationships between the many couples. Not a fan of relationships that have an unhealthy beginning or where one of the partners is asserting ownership over the other partner.

Not worth your time

I went into this KDrama without many expectations. I was promised a short, cute drama that would be too sweet for my heart. What I got was 5 short episodes, that made me check the remaining time more that once per episode.

The cute story involving the two leads starts off way too late and develops way too quickly. Like, seriously, by the middle of the last episode I was checking whether I had read the number of eps wrong because of the way their relationship played out.

I didn't like the body shaming of the ML, and the way they treated the FL's eating disorder. I know that love cures every disease in drama world, but seriously?

Overall, I think that it could have been a cute, short drama, but the decisions made by the writers truly were its downfall. Kdrama tropes can be made into quirky hijinks, but I feel like this drama didn't hit the mark.

I, like many below, didn't find a version of this KDrama that was English subbed. Really hoping to rewatch it and finally understanding every nuance.

It is not a very complicated story, even I with my minuscule Korean knowledge I understood what was going on. The chemistry between the leads is quite nice, though I wish there would have been more development. The story is quite cute, so if you have about 50 minutes free time and you are ready to watch a KDrama, that has not been subbed in English, I can recommend it.

Hoping this drama becomes more popular and attracts the beloved KDrama translators, our heros :)

Short kdrama for that kdrama slump

I'll start off by saying, that if you're looking for a great epic love story with complicated plot, this isn't it. Even though the whole drama is about 5 hours long, I didn't think they used the time wisely.
If you're looking for a drama where you can turn off your brain and not think about the plot too much, this is the kdrama for you.

The negatives:
The ML has serious issues with communication with other people and is the stereotypical kdrama lead, and, even though I thought that his issues would be resolved, in the 17th episode I lost all my liking of him, when he said, that he would like the FL to cry. I know it was meant to be petty, but it ruined all the work he had done with his personality.
The dragging of the plot. Even though the drama itself was short, I felt as the romance was dragged out way too much, like, they started dating in the last episode, like, what's up with that?
What was up with that clown?! I was hoping that they would explain it, but nothing...

The positives:
I liked the supporting characters, especially the manager of the CEO, he was typical comedic relief, but I enjoyed them
The lack of a mean second female lead. When they introduced the FL to the company, I dreaded the possibility of the blond girl being the bitchy 2FL, I'm glad they exceed my expectations
The title song - at first I thought it was annoying, now I know it's annoying but it doesn't stop me from humming it from time to time
