Such a disappointment! Don't bother.
I loved the original, so I was really looking forward to this, but I basically wasted 2 hours of my life. 😩The characters were so bland, and it felt like I was reading one of those super cliché isekai novels. I wish I’d never watched it because it literally has nothing I liked from NGNL. Even with the constraints they had for this series, the story could have been written in so many ways to make it enjoyable and more empowering.
I was especially annoyed by the female lead and the author. She gets repeatedly treated like garbage but still goes, "Kyaa, oppa >
One example: her boyfriend breaks up with her (after cheating on her, which she caught him doing) because apparently, she’s “boring” and doesn’t spend enough time with him. This happened because she had to work overtime on some ridiculous demand from her boss, the male lead. And her reaction? She gets drunk and blames the boss, thinking that if she hadn’t had to work overtime, she could’ve been a better girlfriend and maybe her boyfriend wouldn’t have cheated on her. Like, what?! Girl, are you even hearing yourself?
Who the heck writes such messed-up, misogynistic lines? The boyfriend was a bastard from the beginning—why not have her cut her losses, get revenge or write a more empowering arc? Instead, we get this?!
I was so pissed off at that point I should’ve stopped watching, but I kept thinking, maybe that’s just how the character in the novel was written. Maybe when the FL (the author) enters the picture, she’ll have more guts or self-esteem. But nope. I was wrong. Just ugh, girl, seriously???
There’s even a “joke” about locking her up made by the doctor. Ew.
Honestly, it felt like a Wattpad story written by a 12-year-old. I don’t get the point of why this was written at all. NGNL felt so fresh, funny, and touching, and this is just… an unorganized, bland mess sprinkled with a few overdone toxic tropes. I would definitely skip it, but again, that’s up to the discretion of each individual. I’m just sharing my personal opinion on it

Dont bother it's a waste of time!
Uuh, this was bad. On surfice it's had a cutesy vibe but it's seriously lacking and undeveloped. There were very few things I liked. The story could have had potential, but in the end, it was just disappointing and a bit cliché.The one thing I liked was when the rich main intrest said love should be on equal footing that the other guy can't live for his dream that he need to find his own and that the other guy loving him so much made him so uncomfortable. I didn't think they would acknowledge it, but I am glad they did.
The curly guy made me uncomfortable too; his entire personality was liking this guy, and they gave him this tragic backstory (as a sympathy card? like the guy would pity him or something? To be clear I have noting against sad backstories or childhoods as long as it one more think that will make us understand this character more not when it's his only personality trait or when it done to not make him "boring" or whatever or even worser to excuse the actions of the present ugh)
They made him so pitiful and sad but even worse is that he took so many liberties by pushing his feelings on the rich guy (I don't remember their names). The show portrayed it as cute and cheeky, but it really wasn't why you would want somebody you don't like to constantly try to kiss you and touch you (hold your hand or caress your back while you are bathing, etc.); it would make me super uncomfortable.Also, the story had some major plot holes, like how he was able to earn money for living alone and going to high school and college by just delivering milk? He gets smacked around so much by the mob on the face and doesn't come to school all swollen and bruised up. Coome on
I won't even talk about the rich main lead his personality is non existant all we know is that he is rich, rude as fuck, and that he is some bugs hot runner that has a problem with pacing lol.
The romance was just awkward, and let's not mention the rich guy was angry this dude left how does he deal with it? He fucking hits him like, what the absolute fuck? That is not how you deal with problems or your emotions. Who thought that was an okay action, especially in 2020? I can't even

Honestly I was suprised!
Honestly I was suprised! I wish there was a webtoon I could read because this is exactly the kind of dynamic I love.I watched the 1h36min compilation (for free) so I didn’t have to deal with the annoying 2-minute episodes. The only downside—and why I took off 2 stars—is the format and the editing. It’s really choppy. But besides that, the acting and chemistry between the leads are absolutely amazing (playful, sometimes shy, and they give you those “having a crush” kind of feelings, lots of teasing and playful competition ).
I also liked their personalities. They’re not annoying or toxic, and everything is consensual. No melodrama, unnecessary angst, or people acting like jerks. If there were the standard 16ep 1h duration I wouldn't hesitate to watch cuz they are great on screen. If the editing was done properly it would have rlly hit the mark and made it better but even like this I ain't complaining much.
Spoilers:
For this kind of show, I wasn’t expecting a kiss, or I thought if there was one, it would be the awkward "dead fish" kind. But surprisingly, it was okay! There’s one kiss scene and a much longer and hotter post-credit scene (like, what the heck? Why not put it in the show?). They end up together near the end of the show, so there aren’t a lot of romantic scenes, but somehow, I didn’t mind since they were adorable. The idol rlly suprised me with his boldness and honesty. I thought they would go the classical troup way but they didnt! I was pleasantly suprised. Definitely a recommendation!

They made a Korean BL series with a healty relationship, likeable characters with a lot of chemistry and good acting? That also had a happy ending? Will miracles never end?
When I first saw it's gonna be master- servent type of relationship I was like not again! I hate those relationships cuz one partner has more power then the other and treats the other partner so badly but somehow in the end they are in love. Its not a healty relationship at all. That why this drama surprised me. It may have a master- servant type of relationship but that's not the feeling I got. Like they were so much more and they saw each other as equals, there was respect.
Sure the plot was a bit predictable but it still was enjoyable and beautiful. I had to wait so many years to get this kind of good drama. It was worth it.
Can we now make one with 30 min ep? Or 16 ep? I hope there will be more fantastic dramas with healty relationships like this, in the future with all my heart!

ah I cried at almost every ep
ah I cried at almost every ep (not cuz of sad things but cuz it was so relatable, it's a good kind of cry ) The amount of kindness was so touching. I grew so found of them. Also honestly who wouldn't fall for Ruji-kun he is diligent, kind and understandings. I loved both mains first cuz I could relate with Amane so much but also Ruji's kindness melted my heart. I got attached to them in just 5 Ep I honestly wish this was like 30ep long and that we could follow more along their journey.The story is very well done, it's rlly refreshing and heartwarming I was rlly touched. They made the story so intresting without using any clichés or toxic shit. I liked how honest they were and that they communicated clearly. The scenery was beautiful. Def will rewatch this in the futire when I feel down or need some comfort.
