Be Loved in House (2021)

The Kolas and The Shop Owners

Glad I caught up in time but also sad because I'm gonna miss it, it's so good. Loving the Kuudere Koala that is Yu Zhen tho I did want to fight him at the beginning and loving the T'Sundere Koala that is Shi Lei. Just the selfish prick coming back to mess everything up is annoying to me, they already had their internal struggles that I completely understood; Yu Zhen's trauma with his past and Shi Lei coming to the conclusion about his sexuality, afraid to be a disappointment in yet another aspect of his life as he tries to uphold with pride the ability to do his job well as Team Leader. I've enjoyed watching Jin let his guard down and be vulnerable around Shi Lei enough to open his heart to him and trust him. While Shi Lei grew to understand more about himself by allowing himself a moment of, in his mind, selfishness choosing to let his walls down and open up his heart to care for someone he didn't think he'd fall for. The coming out to his mom scene was beautiful, I cried. The acts of service and gift giving has been their love language with the projects at work, cooking at home, filling the fridge with their favorite drinks, the removal of certain rules at home as well as taking care of the other when they're sick or having a bad dream and it had me giggling like a little girl the entire time. Can't praise them enough really, I love them, Hank and Aaron work so well together. If you're truly not a fan of slow burns, you may want to stay away or watch it for the second couple who are just as great but physical touch and quality time happen to be their love language.

Speaking of the Shop Owner and his tiny co-owner who can't cook; I loved how Zhao Gang took Si Qi in when he needed a place to stay. He has really been an mvp for the series, I praise him for the useful advice he has given Jin Yu Zhen and Shi Lei. I'm just curious about how Si Qi's crush on Zhao Gang started cause I can't remember him mentioning or them showing it up till now. Wish they'd show why Zhao Gang is the way that he is about his relationships also.

Will come back to edit the review after the last episode is out and see if anything changes.
Edit- That ending was so sweet and explosive and I loved every minute of it!! Jin Yu Zhen and Shi Lei's first time was like a bomb went off after their feelings were known. Amazing and the scene with the "new rules" was precious. The plottwist with Yi Zitong did get me tho. Zhao Gang and Si Qi were cute also.

I live for this shit

A+

It felt like sweet orange juice in the morning, delicate yet powerful.

This one belongs to the best of my collection. I wouldn’t qualify it as top tier but it was certainly a nice discovery. The strength of this show lies in the lead; both actors committed and delivered. Actors playing in a romance must trust and feel comfortable with each other. They were wisely chosen and it didn’t feel awkward at any moment. Besides, they’re hot and look great on screen.

I’m all here for gay men giving in and just letting themselves carried by and act upon their feelings. From the shyness of the beginning as they get to know each other to the passionate union, I’ve been given it all alright: mystery to discovery to proximity. A crush—hurtfully hard to get—that gives you a hard time even trying to convince yourself that anything else at that moment could be at least as fulfilling. In the end, you can’t ignore it and it feels so right to stop defying the idea that you can’t access this satisfaction. The conflicts, obstacles and distractions are here solely to let you enjoy the freedom to give yourself to someone who as gladly gives themselves to you.

The plot is nice, nothing fancy really but enough to ensure angles are covered.

The music is fine.

The second couple is appreciated but not as strong as the lead’s.

If you are looking for sweetness, cuteness, sexual tensions and love, you’re there.

Ordinary LGBT love story with charming characters

This is the first gay romance I have ever watched. Only 12 episodes (+one actually) so no time to get bored, action focused on main characters + Wanwan (a coffee place cat).
I really lke the chemistry between main characters. How love grows, how one has to go over his own fears and uncertainties, how to face one's own feelings, all of this is well shown.
This taiwanese production is really well intentioned and beautiful : yes love between men can be just the same as love between men and women : it can be deep, at first sight, questionable, romantic, passionate ...
Nothing is bothering us in this drama, the storyline is very nice and entertaining. It is all about love how it grows and how to accept and recognize it.
I recommend this drama (rather a comedy!) to people who have never watched LGBT drama. It's never too late to open one's mind.

Este es el mundo de Hank Wang y nosotros vivimos en él!

Cuando la empecé a ver no sabía que esperar, pero terminé emocionándome de igual manera. Hank es simplemente mágico, te captura con su sonrisa y te hace feliz verlo. Aaron no se queda atrás.

Al ser un web drama no se puede esperar una gran producción ni la mejor calidad, es por eso que hay cosas incongruentes, como huecos en la trama o simplemente sin sentidos y otras cosas incómodas a la vista, como ciertos planos y sobre todo ciertas actuaciones (si, estoy hablando de las chicas del café).
Soy fiel seguidora del slow burn, me gusta que se tarde la trama en darnos por fin a la pareja junta, pero era necesario esperar hasta el ÚLTIMO capítulo? sentía que los episodios no avanzaban más y que la relación entre Shi Lei y Jin Yu Zhen simplemente era un ciclo interminable de incomunicación, poca química y malos entendidos, a veces hasta me encontraba más contenta por la pareja secundaria.

Sin embargo, no es algo que me haya arrepentido de ver, aunque no lo voy a mentir, Hank me mantenía enganchada.

Great Start but Some Wasted Time

This contains spoilers.

The weakest part of the series is the storytelling. If it weren't for such as strong cast, this series would have been doomed.

The first part was the usually hate-hate relationship. The middle part, the main characters where starting to show they they have feelings for each other. Shi Lei even confessed to his mother that he loves Jin Yu Zhen in probably the most powerful scene in the whole series. It's confusing how a team that could produce that scene, did such a bad job in the last third of the series. They wasted three episodes on brining the ex-boyfriend of Jin Yu Zhen to make trouble for him and Shi Lei. I kind of like hate to love stories, and usually if an ex is involved, they are brought in at mid point so the couple has time to resolve the conflict and make their relationship official. Not this series. They waste the last three episodes on a fake love triangle and worse, there were several lovey-dovey scenes between the ex boyfriend and JYZ even before JYZ and SL had a first kiss. JYZ's first kiss in this series was with the ex! It was full on kissing, not a little peck.

I wish they had cut out the ex flash backs and showed the guys having a meal with Shi Lei's mother, or at an office party with all of the employees, after becoming a couple. The last episode spent too much time showing JYZ running around town looking for SL, who was with the ex. While the last 5 minutes where great, it's a shame that the viewers did not have at least have an episode of JYZ and SL being lovey-dovey. The second couple had more romantic screen time than the lead couple.

Despite the flaws, the cast did a fine job and the strange OST fit the series very well. Too bad it was bogged down by a poor plot. I would like to see Aaron Lai and Hank Wang work together again because they had great chemistry and were great playing JYZ and SL.

The best drama and sweetest couple of the year

Best BL drama ever. It has a great message about accepting who you are without worrying about what others think. Also, it  has a great message of loving with the mother accepting her son. The other message is that no matter the person you love, making a love confession is hard for straigh and homosexual people. This drama is very sweet and the couple has a lot of chemistry. Aaron and Hank are great actors and their scenes a all believable. Their moments are very sweet and would melt your heart.That episode 12 is all you want to watch after all the wait. Pd. There's an special episode.
