Compared with the original, it's not as good
On it's own, it's a 10/10. But compared with the original it's too different. Jaeyoung and Sangwoo are a lot more realistic and less extreme. While I liked that Jaeyoung isn't as jealous (which was the only thing I don't like in the original), Sangwoo was too emotional (especially the last episode, that all was an very not-Sangwoo thing to do), instead of "cold and logical" he is more "cute". I really missed the original Sangwoo and I find that the chemistry between the characters is very different. I mean the chemistry is amazing here, but it was more exciting in the original(because the original characters aren't so soft and "cute"). In the original the genre of enemies-to-lovers was more apparent and Jaeyoung pranked him wayyy longer. And I really wish that they would have had some inner monologues because their thought are the most interesting part! Especially Sangwoos. And obviously this the "family friendly" version, so the vibe is different, but that's fine if this will attract more new viewers to the BL genre this way. But anyway, I would recommend watching this first and then the original, so you would be able to enjoy this more as I did. And watching this or reading the novel/manhwa is an absolute must!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Lots of potential.
This is a nicely shot, stylish short drama set in a college, where an OCD-ish loner student programmer developing a game needs a good designer, and finds one in the shape of a fashionable, popular, annoying boy who has beef with him for some reason that wasn't quite clear to me. The designer decides to piss the programmer off for payback/amusement by stalking him and being really irritating. Both of them: AAA YOU ARE ANNOYING AF! But also strangely attractive! Especially in a terrible wig.And so... love story.
Overall, it's a fun watch and a good story, but imo the pacing could have been improved on. Stalking isn't my fav trope, and it's a pretty big feature for the first half of this - too much for my liking. Luckily, the eps are short, so the cute kicks in and beats out the annoyance fairly quickly. The kissing is good when we get to it, and I very much approved that there was no hesitation about it for either of them: no power imbalance here, they're equally into it, and that got me invested. Sadly we only got a little slice of time with them as a proper couple and working partners, and I would have liked to have seen more of that, as it felt like there was good potential here for interesting character development together, and that, with a gay couple, would have been really great. Some bonus episodes in Paris would have been great too (ha, not me who spent a chunk of the last ep yelling RUN OFF WITH HIM LETTUCE! PACK YOUR SUITCASE! SPEAK YOUR FRENCH!) Hope to see more like it, with bigger budgets.

Adorable and Sweet
**Brief Synopsis**B (Student): Sang Woo
T (Student): Jae Young
- Beginning: B and T are students at the same school but in different programs. B is extremely cold to everyone and serious about doing the right thing; T is the exact opposite. That is why in a project for a common class they had together, T didn’t do anything because he didn’t think it was important so B decides to remove his name from the project, damaging his prospect of going abroad. They start the show off as sort of enemies because T put B’s caricature all over school because he wants to find him and convince him to talk to the teacher on his behalf. B doesn’t like T because he thinks B is a good for nothing freeloader and T doesn’t like B because he thinks B is reason for he didn’t graduate. Their story starts when B contacts the designer of a design he likes which turns out to be T. Even if he didn’t want to work with him, T is insistent because he wants to get revenge of B.
- Middle: Because of T’s insistence, they start meeting up at often. And the more time they spend together, the more they learn about each other and T finds himself starting to develop an attraction for B even if at that time he still won’t admit it. B’s impression of T starts to change when T starts taking the project more seriously, is genuinely nicer to him and actually saved him once. He also starts to learn that T can be serious and not the freeloader he thought he was.
- End: Finally the attraction got to a point they can’t ignore and B kisses T while he was asleep, not knowing T was actually awake. T confesses to B after that and B takes some time to think about it. The series ends with him finally agreeing to the confession and they start dating. T gives up a position at a big company in order to finish working on the game with B. The ending is similar to the novel ending where T gives up his opportunity abroad so he wait for B to finish school so they can leave together. He even proposes to B, which is a shame we didn’t get to see.
**My Opinion**
WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT:
- I like how T starts to change because of B, even if he doesn’t notice it.
- I really like the enemies to lovers trope even if the enemy part is no longer obvious after 2 episodes when T starts to act nicer towards B. I just like how T keeps thinking about B and not understanding why he is doing so. I also like how B starts going along with T’s ideas and no longer finds him annoying all the time.
- I like how they use anger to show they have gotten closer. Before, B and T doesn’t even bother to get angry because they don’t care at all about each other. They say hate but it’s said in a rather emotionless way. Now that they start caring about each other (and not realizing it), when they fight, they are both actually angry and bothered about the fight, even if they don’t know why.
- I really like how B changes because of T. He’s no longer emotionless and can smile. He actually starts making an effort to apologize after a fight. He starts wanting T to call him and lets him touch him more than other people. I love how he starts getting affected by T’s touch.
- B is adorable when he tries to show affection, like patting the other on the head as a way to say good job. He’s trying to become more human and it’s such a joy to see.
- I really like T competing with a girl who was also interested in B. It’s really funny how much they can’t stand each other.
- I really like the progression of their relationship, from enemies to friends, to someone they want to be with romantically. Although the pace is really fast, it doesn’t feel rushed. Each step is well depicted and each time they go forward one step, it feels like a victory. The couple is just adorable together, making me want to root for them.
- The acting is really nice. B and T have great chemistry together and they fit together quite well visually. T looks really handsome once he stopped looking like a hooligan. The actors do a great job at portraying their respective characters.
- The stolen kiss scene is adorable.
- There aren’t much angst in this show because they only get together at the end. The only angst is B taking some time to think over things and was ready to refuse T after he had confessed. But at the end, he went to find him and they kiss.
- I really like the ending. It’s adorable and sweet.
WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE ABOUT IT:
- The constant talking to one’s own self thing is just weird and the actors don’t do it well enough to make it seem unnatural. I know it’s necessary because we need to know what the characters are thinking, but doing it as an internal monologue is a lot better.
- I really didn’t like T at the beginning. He just look like a big bully and blaming someone else for not putting his name on something he didn’t do the work for is just stupid. I really hate freeloaders, especially those who don’t respect others like him. He’s childish and will continue to bother you and pester you until he gets his way. But luckily B’s personality is good at dealing with people like him. He is emotionless most of the time and in regards to people he doesn’t like, he really isn’t afraid to tell them off.
**Conclusion**
This is a very sweet and simple rom com type of story. Although it’s not deep, it warms your heart nonetheless.

Es ist nicht mega tiefgründig, aber es gibt durchaus ein paar Gedankengänge, die einen zum Nachdenken anregen können. Gerade das Thema Gefühle, oder Entscheidungen treffen. Oft wird in den gängigen Dramen was anderes vermittelt als hier. Deswegen fand ich eine realistischere Darstellung, wie hier, sehr erfrischend!
Ich kann mich ziemlich gut mit Cho Sangwoo identifizieren, was das Thema Berührungen angeht und fand es irgendwie ganz toll zu sehen, dass solche Themen auch einen kleinen Platz in einem BL Drama finden. Es ist immer noch etwas, was selten besprochen wird und schon gar nicht in einem Drama, aber dass er tatsächlich sagt, er möchte gerne vorher wissen, wenn er berührt wird, hat mich einfach so gefreut, weil ich mich sonst immer so seltsam fühle, wenn ich jemandem mitteile, dass ich nicht ohne Nachfrage angefasst werden möchte.
Definitiv eins der Dramen, die man an einem Stück guckt, weil man einfach nicht genug davon bekommt. Ich hätte so gerne noch mehr von den Beiden gesehen. Außerdem haben die beiden Schauspieler auch privat ein gutes Verhältnis zueinander, was die Serie noch süßer macht.
Normalerweise rate ich den rewatch value immer sehr niedrig, weil ich es nicht mag, Serien nochmal zu gucken, aber hier werde ich bestimmt nochmal reinschauen. Die Beiden sind wirklich zuckerzuckerzuckersüß und ich bin so geflashed davon, wie gut sie miteinander vor der Kamera harmonieren. Die Chemie ist zum niederknien und ich habe jede Folge genossen!

Great acting, good storyline, good pace...PARK SEO HAM!
This was one of the first BL series I have seen and I have really set myself up! Since finishing Semantic Error, the other BL series I have watched (approx 5) have not compared. I know there are plenty of good ones out there, but this set a high bar. I enjoyed the storyline, the pacing was good, and there was enough comedy to not make the series so heavy. Park Seo Ham, other than being gorgeous in damn near anything, is great. His acting was so believable and just worked with Park Jae Chan. I don’t always hope for a second season, but I do for this series. Well done gentlemen!

STANDARD BL THAT DIDN'T REALLY STAND OUT
I watched this quite a bit ago so this will all be from what I remember...The story is your avarage enemies to lovers...Nothing really particular stands out, but this does not mean it's bad, it just leaves you wanting more.
The acting was good but forgettable, they played their characters well but did not REALLY embody them and sometimes went in too stereotypical ways for my taste.
Music was good from what I remember, but also not a standout.

Unique BL.
I read the manhwa before this so I had really high expectations, and lets just say they beat them, and more.I really like the introvert and extrovert trope, I think that they are usually always really nice and wholsome, despite them most being slow burners. I really like how they included most things in the manhwa, which is what I always like to see with
manhwa ->series.
I think that both main protagonists had great chemistry and that they were really nice and funny together, Sangwoo always acting like he really didn't like Jaeyoung at first, being really cold, then despite still being cold at the end, opened up his heart to Jaeyoung. The side characters were really nice and added a lot to the show, personally.

No toxicity, feel good story, excellent character development in just 3 hrs of limited time
Why u should watch1. You”ll never feel left out, much engaging story line
2. Not a new plot, but trust me dialogues and new elements in comedy will definitely win ur heart
3. That whole red drama has a separate place in my heart
4. No toxic character
5. All confession scenes were so naturally enacted and well written.
6. Sang woo’s character development is out of this world, he exactly depicted an introvert , who falls in love ,gets confused about his feelings but later accepted his heart
7. And above all just watch it for those two cuties, who made me fall in love with them ??

Romance of the extrovert cool nerd and introvert neural divergent coded nerd
This review is after a rewatch and my consensus is still the same from the first watch at the time of airing. It starts off slow with JaeYoung's petty revenge antics honestly pretty grating to both SangWoo and as a viewer, but once he finally stands up for SangWoo and the status quo shifts, their developing closeness and romance is a compelling watch all the way to the end.I like how JaeYoung goes from making SangWoo uncomfortable in daily school life to trying his best to respect and broach SangWoo's boundaries in a way that SangWoo would be comfortable with, which allows SangWoo to feel comfortable enough to be the one making the first move to be physically intimate.
