Mr. Heart

I adore BL stories and Mr. Heart really delivered. Taking into account its format (8 short 10 minute episodes) I think this is well done. The story was simple but coherent, and there was just enough conflict to give it that touch of angst. I liked that there wasn't a ton of self-hatred for being attracted to the same sex - that is always a disappointment when one character is just straight up homophobic and mean in public while secretly affectionate to the person they like behind closed doors. Also side note that Sang Ha might be the actual cutest human being on the planet and his actor/acting definitely carried the show. Now if South Korea could give us a full length BL show that would be great!

I like the story, I like the cast, I like the writing. This just made me smile all the way through. Heartwarming and cheering and happy. Why can't there be more like this than all the down, gloomy unhappy ones? Loved both leads. Totally got invested in them. A heartwarming story. I was cheering from beginning to end!

I haven't seen either lead since this one! Where are they hiding. My heart melted every time Sejin Lee was on screen. Just fell in love with this guy.

I've seen a couple of videos where this one has been made into a music video and it still makes me happy and makes me smile! Good Job! Well done! A favourite of mine for sure!

This show is subtle and natural.

You dont feel any forced moments or any awkwardness between the leads.

It is like what it should be in the real scenario.

I really like that no exaggeration was done in the storyline. Good work.

Korean Mini Drama " Mr Heart " is a cute short drama with a light storyline.

The drama uses a lot of the trops found in many romantic comedies, they even used the cold guy-cute guy couple dynamics. However, somehow, all these cliches were not cheesy or cringe-worthy and they actually suited the story well. The use of the sports theme was interesting too, as well as the whole family drama of the lead. However, his partner's story was not that well presented, though that's probably due to the drama's length.

The performances, finally, were all great by everyone in the cast, the couple had chemistry and were adorable and the running scenes were well managed.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

It was ok. The acting came across as contrived and not that believable at some points, and despite it being a mini-series I still found myself skipping ahead at some points as well. Despite that, it was still decent enough for me to want to finish it rather than just give up completely.

Would I recommend it to a friend? Maybe. Am I looking forward to a second season? No.
