An interesting little BL with a small twist

**Brief Synopsis**
B (Employee): Dong Baek
T (CEO): Yu Dam

Beginning: B is a new employee at T's company and the first thing T does upon meeting him is asking him out. This is not because of feelings however. This is because there is a curse on them and B will dies if T doesn't fall in love wit him on time. At first B doesn't believe a word T says but when he starts having dreams and his heart starts to hurt, he knew what T was telling was the truth. Not wanting to die, B starts going along with T's plan, spending more time with him. T truly wants to protect B and the feeling is starting to shine through because slowly, B starts to soften and starts developing feelings for T, despite not wanting to wanting to admit it at first. It is unclear if these feelings are new or because of something else.

Middle: Slowly, B gets used to the situation and somehow accepts T's advances and his intimacy. He admits he is willing to try dating him for real. It is later revealed that T and B met in a previous life and developed feelings for each other but that ended when B was shot. T opened an entertainment company thinking B would be an artist in this life and find him. After they start dating for real, T tells B about their past life and with everything cleared up, they kiss.

End: But before they could have their happy after, the curse strikes and time returns back to day one in a world where the curse doesn't exist and T doesn't remember their relationship. When B sees T for the first time in this time line, T asks him if they had met and B finally takes up the courage to ask T to dinner, which he agrees.

THINGS I LIKED ABOUT IT
- The montage of the time they spend together after B agrees to try dating for real, is super cute and fluffy. T's idea of dating is screwed because he wants to protect B but B is willing to show him the joy of enjoying life together.
- I actually like the Denis plotline where Denis develops an interest in B and wants B for himself.
- I liked the ending even if it's a little open minded but we all asume they would end up together anyway. Their first relationship started because of the curse and while feelings were involved later, it's still not a clean start. And if they want their relationship to last, it's better to start from 0 and make new memories together and not let old memories dictate their future.
- I like how B, once he makes up his mind, sticks through and is determined to see their relationship succeed.
- The acting is pretty nice and the production quality and writing as well. There isn't any awkward or cringe moment. The ensemble cast seem to be doing their jobs as well.
- The actors really do have nice voices which fits their identities really well. The actors also look nice together.
- I liked that they bothered showing us scenes of the characters at work. It makes the world feel more alive and not just a set on which the characters move around.

THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE ABOUT IT
- The lack of communication. B doesn't want to make T worry so try to keep his feelings to himself. He doesn't seem to understand what T wants and his actions seems to cause more trouble then it prevents. T is also feeling lost because he doesn't know what B feels and if he's making B unhappy with this arrangement. He keeps those feelings to himself making B feel sad because T isn't spending as much time with him.
- The plot is cliche and predictable and nothing seems to happen if you are not interested in the main couple. The story happens to further their relationship.
- Their identity of CEO and employee didn't play much of a role in the story which is a dissapointement. I would have loved to see more of that.

**Conclusion**
An interesting little BL with a small twist.
