Mr.Heart (2020)

To the point!

If you are looking to kill a Saturday and or a full weekend, this is the BL you need to watch. Short but lovely stories. I was looking to kill my Sunday with a nice and warming feeling when I cam cross to this BL. It’s clean BL with a lovely story. The production is very small, so don’t expect big money on this one. The music as well is ok. No major songs and different songs, it basically plays the same one. But it’s expect since it has only 8 episodes and they are about 10 min each. If you are wondering were you can see it, here is a good place to watch a your BL drama: dramacool.vc

Delightful romp

RATING: B+

GENERAL
These 8-episodes are not really a “series”, but feel more like a short movie. Perhaps a student film, at that. But only because it’s a very simple, straightforward story with one minor subplot. However, it’s all done so well that it is wholly satisfying and I truly wished there was more going on, so I could spend more time with these characters and watch them navigate the typical conflicts of a BL series.

The love story is sweet, their growing friendship and attraction was believable and grew naturally. The loan shark subplot, while contrived, also worked fairly well and made sense in this fantasy world. The silly comedy sprinkled throughout was actually quite charming. It set the tone for the whole series and let you know what to expect til the end. When Sang Ha repositions the two snowmen so they are kissing it was such a cute moment, I couldn’t help by smile. The milk gifts, Sang Ha’s sparkly shirt encouraging Jin Won, the goofy coach, even the villain’s henchman crying when the debt is repaid, were all moments that added to the overall charm of the series.

There are a few deeper moments, where we get more insight into the characters. Not enough time was given to really delve deep, but that was clearly not the intent here, so it’s easy to overlook the limitations. However, those moments are still handled fairly well.

ACTING AND DIRECTION
Neither actor is asked to do much here, but they both do it all quite well. Sang Ha’s quirky grin really sold his character’s personality, with little need for more. Cheong Seung Ho managed to make Jin Won’s slow transformation entirely believable. When Sang Ha explains his history, you could truly get a sense that Jin Won’s spoiled rich kid started to understand and appreciate him, and even a sense that it made his feelings of attraction grow. As an aside, Cheong Seung Ho’s lips may be the most perfect lips I have ever seen. So kissable!

The direction delivered all that was required to make the elements come together well, especially those comedic moments mentioned above.

KISSING/INTIMACY
There are a few chaste kisses, but that’s all the story requires. Since we don’t delve into a real BL relationship, but only the beginnings of their story together, it was entirely appropriate. The first kiss was so spontaneous that it felt entirely natural. I will admit, the glimpses of skin in the shower and sauna were a nice bonus.

THE DOWNSIDE
My only real complaint was the first time the boys wind up in bed together. I bought into the whole “shared password”, but no matter how tired you are, when you go to bed and there is another person there, you would know it.

There was one other moment I did not understand. At the celebration dinner, when Jin Won pays the bill, he shares a glance with another “blonde” runner. I didn’t know if that was meant to imply a past relationship, a rivalry, something about money and status? This may be a recall from the prequel “Where Your Eyes Linger”, which I have not yet viewed.

What’s with Jin Won’s “Mr. Spock” haircut?

SUMMARY
A delightful little romp. The only reason my rating is not higher is due to the brevity and surface level of the story. Well worth a quick binge. Enjoy!

This show is your typical light-hearted, romantic-comedy story. It was not much of something thrilling but it was beat and good. I love how the story went but I think the plot was no enough for me. Every episode, I just keep on wanting more. I wanted something that would race my heart to space, something magical.

I was hoping for something more on this show, but I love how they executed it though. I enjoyed watching it because it has freshness and it was warm to the heart to take. it was cute and very pleasant. i just wish that the story could have been more emphasized because I wanted to go in depths of their story that is related to their plot which is running a marathon. Their are some points in some scenes that had holes that beeded to be stitched up.

For the acting part, they could have been more into it if only they did more workshop but theg did well though. I like theor acting but I was hoping for more. I love Se-jin’s acting a lot though because he was portraying an optimistic guy in a world where it may crumble at any period of time. I like how he handled everything with optimism with less drama.

Overall, I gues i did enjoy watching this show and I hope you will too if you want something warm and a mellow romantic story with not much drama on it.

Read my review pls

I dont usually do this but I was saddened by the many bad reviews I just HAD to write my own :(

<<8 episodes and each being about 10mins each>>
I genuinly enjoyed this drama I found myself fully immersed in each episode. If you're looking for a short lighthearted BL drama full of fluff and heaps of cute funny scenes to cheer u up after watching a tragic one (Bcs theres SO MANY of those -_-), this is the one for you! The acting as well as the chemistry between the leads was good, i found both characters extremely lovable...also the music was pleasing. Although the storyline with the loan sharks was a bit too much, i didn't find it bothersome at all as they were all good characters (as in the other two guys showed they kinda cared for Sang Ha so that was cute-ish and their acting wasnt too bad as well,, even though they and that whole loan part of the drama was sorta unnecessary) and the main focus was on the romance anyway- im glad they actually showed cute kiss scenes (not to sound perverted, its just most korean BL dont end well and some dont have kiss scenes at all so for the leads to actually agree to do it knowing full well their country finds such issues taboo and rather shameful, my heart goes out to them. Theres progress and hope for Korea ^_^). Who are we to complain about the storyline not making much sense? ?We didnt ask for this but im sure as hell glad they made it! We need more Korean BL in this world and kudos to the actors, directors and everyone involved for making such sweet short drama.

I understand everyone has their own opinion and some can be quite critical,, but thats okay cs everyones opinion is valid. I enjoyed the drama and hope u all do too <3

Very cute, very short, nothing too serious.

I found this while roaming through Korean BL web series. I really liked it.

The story is nothing too deep or serious, there are a lot of elements which sometimes made things feel kind of random. Obstacles were tackled quite easily and in a fun rather than a Dramatic way.
I liked both actors especially the one that acted the younger one, since in my opinion he did a really good job at portraying is rather positive character in the face of a rather “dramatic” fate.

I Can’t really say more about this, it’s just a short light hearted thing with some very sweet moments, some points didn’t really make sense, but when did a Drama ever fully make sense.
There was not much of a climax or anything, but it was just fine without it, I for one did not get bored.

If you’re looking for a short and sweet BL definitely give this one a go.

É isso que eu espero do cenário BL coreano.

Mr. Heart é o primeiro drama BL (talvez não só no cenário coreano) que retrata a paixão de um garoto para outro garoto de forma tão direta, tão natural. No universo de Mr. Heart os personagens não tem tabus em relação aos seus sentimentos, eles não tem medo de se expressar, eles não tem medo de como a sociedade vai ver eles. Tudo acontece de forma muito orgânica, é esse tipo de confiança que eu sinto que a Asia precisa cultivar em seus trabalhos. Em Mr. Heart existem dois pontos que se conectam por um sentimento romantico que flui e a linha traçada entre esses dois pontos é simplesmente reta e direta, ela não tem interferência de medos ou pré conceitos. Ela simplesmente é.

O drama conta a história de Go Sanha, um garoto pobre que é contratado para ser o "marca-passo" do corredor mais promissor de sua faculdade (NOTA: O corredor marca-passo, pelo que eu entendi assistindo o drama, é aquele que, lá pela metado do trajeto da corrida, percorre parte do caminho com o "corredor principal" para que ele não perca o ritmo e se renda ao cansaço) enquanto, simultaneamente, tenta quitar suas dívidas com um agiota. E é nesse cenário que Sanha acaba se aproximando mais de Jinwon, o corredor, e se desenvolve o plot romântico.

O que me chamou mais atenção nessa história foi que eu não esperava tanta sinceridade vinda do Sanha em relação aos sentimentos que ele tem pelo Jinwon. Ele simplesmente é direto demais, calmo demais, sorridente demais. Parece que nada afeta o garoto, ele tem uma confiança muito forte, o que é completamente inesperado na visão de nós, fãs de BL, que estamos acostumados a ver os garotos sofrendo dentro do armário, negando seus próprios sentimentos de forma agressiva ou passiva, ou simplesmente tendo medo do que os outros podem pensar se souberem que eles gostam de garotos. Eu sei que esse excesso de confiança pode ser visto como algo surreal, já que "a sociedade não funciona desse jeito", mas eu ainda sinto que esse tipo de conceito é algo muito importe a ser retratado no cenário BL. Mostrar para os jovens LGBT que seus sentimentos são válidos, que eles não são algo negativo, que eles são puros, naturais e sem maldade, é algo muito importante que a mídia audio-visual tem toda a capacidade de fazer. Não são todos que crescem em casas pró LGBT (como é meu caso), não são todos que tem apoio das pessoas próximas, então é importante que a mídia, a TV mostre esse lado confiante de ser queer.

Essa foi a lição que eu aprendi com Mr. Heart. Depois da experiência que foi assistir esse web drama, minhas expectativas em relação às produções BL aumentaram drasticamente, porque agora eu sei o que é uma produção completa.

Cutest ❤️

Such a beautiful and warming story. If I was to describe the drama in one word it would be “cute”. ?

It’s another must watch so if you haven’t watched it yet go watch it now, no regrets. It’s not time consuming at all and despite the fact it’s “short” drama (10-12min per episode with 8 episodes total) it doesn’t feel rushed at all which some of the BL dramas do.

The acting was perfect, the main cast and the supporting characters both did they job very well, you will get pulled into their world without realizing it so what are you waiting for. ❤️

"Holmes has Watson, Woody has Buzz, and Jin Won has Sang Ha."

"Do you know the similarity between a marathon and Love? That once you start, you can't stop?"

This was a wonderful show. It was somehow better than the previous installment of the anthology "Where Your Eyes Linger" and I found myself somehow laughing out loud at their interactions despite how short the show was.

There was chemistry, there was development, there was an actual conversation between the leads that led to a believable romance. There was even a *plot*, which is shockingly hard to find in BL drama lately.

And the weirdest part was that the relationship was *healthy*.
"Love only works when you're on equal footing."

Neither followed the toxic tropes of BL leads seen in so many shows and manga, and they genuinely cared for the other, even when the other was too thick-skulled to listen.

Man, I even loved the antagonists of the series - seriously, those loan sharks had me smiling like crazy at the end. They had their motives and their reasons, but they weren't cruel. And it made perfect sense how it all ended. I truly enjoyed this entire series, to the point I'm debating going outside at 5 am after binge-watching this and doing some running of my own.

This show will always have a fondness in my heart.

"Quit being my pacemaker, and be my rival."

As a note: Watch up to episode 5 before you drop it.

Simplesmente uma das coisas mais fofas que já assisti

Essa produção aborda a paixão entre dois jovens de forma direta e natural, algo que me chamou bastante a atenção. A sinceridade do personagem Sang Ha em relação aos seus sentimentos por Jinwon é simplesmente refrescante. Ele é direto, calmo e sorridente, o que torna a história ainda mais cativante.
A trilha sonora do dorama é incrível, com ótimas melodias. A química entre os protagonistas também é notável, o que torna a narrativa do romance ainda mais envolvente.
Embora a atuação dos atores possa ser considerada mediana, a química entre os personagens principais compensa isso com folga. Vale mencionar que "Mr. Heart" é uma série bem curta, com apenas 8 episódios, cada um com no máximo 13 minutos de duração, então não espere uma trama super complexa.
A simplicidade da história funciona muito bem e é bastante divertida. Os personagens são bem desenvolvidos, especialmente no que diz respeito aos sentimentos de Sang Ha por Jin Won. Fiquei realmente convencido pela explicação sobre como o amor deles começou.
Sim, a série tem clichês e um conflito que poderia ser mais profundo, mas isso não atrapalha a experiência. "Mr. Heart" oferece momentos engraçados, beijos adoráveis, cenas fofas e uma estética visual muito bonita. Não é a melhor coisa que já vi, mas me senti muito bem assistindo.
No geral, se você assistir a "Mr. Heart" com as expectativas certas, sem esperar algo grandioso, com certeza vai se divertir. A química entre os protagonistas e a abordagem descomplicada do amor fazem desta série uma escolha agradável para quem procura um romance leve e encantador.
