I was bracing myself for another My Personal Weatherman (I'm still traumatized by that, I won't look at J-BLs the same ever again) but this was cute! I like the trope of friends to lovers so this is right up my alley. I'm intrigued.

I need everyone who's watched this episode to explain to me how and why that scene was glossed over so quickly. I'm sick and tired of BLs (and dramas in general) normalizing this kind of behavior. If your SO slams you against the wall, grabs your wrist and keeps trying to kiss you, even as you're telling them no, RUN. "I care about him so much, I didn't mean to do that" MY ASS. This is how domestic violence happens. Taeseong is dead to me right now not going to lie. If he can do that now, in their "honeymoon stage", how will he act when he's truly pissed off??

I'm still hung up on the 'raised together' part of it all but if we ignore that they are kind of cute, I'll admit it. Don't kiss drunk people, though, especially if you see that they're not taking the alcohol well

I have a bone to pick with the way dramas choose to treat bullying storylines -- you either make them light, so that we can move past them quickly, or give them the screentime they deserve. How does the bullying in this case (which was *very* severe) get resolved so easily? I hope it doesn't just get forgotten about from now on. --- I felt like I had skipped an episode while watching this one. Why is Taeseong suddenly so friendly? He barely talked to Haebom before, and now he's acting like his boyfriend? We are moving at breakneck speed omg ---- also, please let's decide if we see them as brothers or not. It's driving me mad

This was better than last episode, mostly because the bully got beaten up by Tae Seong like he deserved. The entire time he was messing with Haebom I was thinking that my Spanish ass would have thrown a chair at him ---- also the kids are absolutely adorable

This is a rewatch but I didn't write a review before so here it is. 1. Haebom is kind of a pushover and I get that he doesn't want to fight back but like he doesn't have one bit of spine. 2. Tae Seong should have helped him out idk what he was waiting for. "Are they your friends?" bro they were literally slapping him what do you mean -- 3. The acting is mid. Kind of forgettable. 4. Why is it always the "they grew up in the same house" trope? As Cody Ko once famously said, "Y'all rocking with incest?"

The premise is so different and creative, it's genuinely completely different to all the other bls I've watched before. I love the videogame format, and how it kind of plays on my favorite trope everr (forced proximity). The acting is good, and I loved the grandma. The only criticism I have so far is MC's age - did he HAVE to be 28 in a 19 year old's body?? That's so creepy, since his (eventual) partner is 18. It's weirding me out ngl

Fourth's acting is out of this world, he's so GOOD ------ a lot of scenes were boring, though. The rap battle? He didn't even rap! Wtf was that? And the 3 minute long scene at the beginning with the teacher was also quite boring ngl. But TinnGun are amazing and I love them

He forgave him wayyyy too fast but oh well. I loved their little scenes as a couple, like I said, cohabitation is one of my favorite tropes ever. It was okay for a last episode - but I'm sorry, that last shot of them running and holding hands was too cheesy for my taste, like these are two grown men, what are we doingg

I'm so disappointed- I thought I'd really like this series. But not really. It was pretty obvious the friend liked Do Hyun, I feel kind of bad for him, honestly. The two MCs should get their shit together for once

It just makes everything so dramatic and it's like... for what? The fallout was inevitable but that could've been solved earlier if they just talked - tell him you like him, and that's why you sleep well next to him, or something. You guys *kissed*, I'm sure he can handle the truth. But now it's too late I guess

I don't even care about anything else, domestic scenes always hit the spot for me - I love the cohabitation trope, sue me. I also don't really mind the lack of plot so far. I mean, I loved Our Dating Sim and that one has even less of a plot, so go figure.

Idk how I feel about the emotional manipulation to get Do Hyun to move in with him - just tell him that you sleep better with him next to you?? It'd still be manipulative, but not as much. Also, that rain looked like they were hosing them down lol, it made me laugh so much - it's literally pouring and there's not a single cloud in the sky?
