A Realistic Portrayal of Mature Love

**Brief Synopsis**
B (Employee): Wen
T (Owner): Jim

- Beginning: B is the owner of a chicken restaurant and T is the person he has a one night stand with. Despite telling T that they should remain a one nigh stand, B doesn’t want to give up and decides to take a part time job at B’s restaurant so they can spend more time together. But B keeps denying his own feelings, not wanting his already complicated life to become more complicated.

- Middle: The crux of the story focuses on the trouble already present in B’s life. It is revealed that he has a ex boyfriend who was cheating on him. Despite that, he still loves him and is devastated when the latter died. This remains very traumatic for him, which is why his defences are so high. It is also revealed that T has boyfriend he had just broken up with but for some reason is still living with. In midst of everything, B has to deal with his nephew and the risk of losing his restaurant.

- End: Thanks to B, T finally understands what it means to have an adult relationship. He breaks off completely with his ex and finds a new apartment. B, on the other hand, finally opens up to T about his past and meets the girl his ex was cheating on him with, and they talk about the man. B finally lets go of the past and decides to move on. The show ends with B finally accepting T’s feelings and gives them a chance.

**My Opinion**

WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT:
- The actors playing B and T. Their chemistry was amazing and their interactions were cute and sweet. They also do a great job in portraying the affection between the characters.
- I like the small looks they gave each other when they are still unwilling to admit their feelings. The small signs of affections are the best.
- The characters are very likeable despite each having their own flaws.
- The writing is pretty nice despite the plot being predictable and cliche. But the story flows really well and the ensemble cast make the city they live in seem alive. This show isn’t exaggerated like some BL can be.
- I like how real this relationship is. It’s not fluffy by any means and have its ups and downs. It truly depicts how hard love can sometimes be. The sweet moments makes me smile and the low moments makes me root for them, hoping they will soon get their happy ever after. Their relationship is so well written it’s very easy to get invested.

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE ABOUT IT:
- Very tame intimate scenes which can be a disappointment.
- Angst comes from B constantly denying his own feelings which is an overused trope.
- The show is very slow burn with them only kissing in the last episode. I would have liked to see more of their interactions as a couple.
- Plot as a whole is well written but there aren’t any plot twists or memorable moments.
- I didn’t like the fact that B actually forgive his ex when he found out he had a girlfriend and still loved him and wished him to stay. Cheaters should never be forgiven.

**Conclusion**
An OK watch but probably won’t be revisiting.
