Don't get me wrong, this vertical show isn't exactly golden globes worthy, but for what it's worth, I went in with terribly low expectations yet it actually really took me aback by how entertaining it was.
The incredibly cheesy script and bollywood-esque direction are for the most part carried and compensated by the two main actors' pretty solid performance to create a piece that doesn't take itself too seriously and fulfills its purpose with lethal efficiency: entertaining you for a while as you're commuting to work, waiting on your doctor's appointment and so on and so forth.
It's sweet, it's ridiculously dramatic, it's fun, all in all it's a very ideal guilty pleasure to enjoy shamelessly.

I only found out about this series through constant social media clips and eventually it grew on me. The two male leads have a surprising chemistry on screen. While the storyline and plot are nothing to write home about, it's the characters that endear you to enjoy this surprise guilty pleasure especially in vertical format which is perfect for cellphones and on the go commute.
Would I want a season 2? Heck yeah. But if not, I'll be sure to give thanks to the director and writer Dede Harlan Shilin Sun.
I would recommend this to anyone who wants a short, funny, drama filled storyline that does not need hours to be invested. Its entertaining.

I had never heard of DramaBox before, but kept seeing previews of this on YouTube. I knew it wasn't going to be a regular movie, and figured the acting would be mediocre. So with that in mind, I expected to be bored. But I was pleasantly surprised at how well this kept my attention and how entertaining it was.
It's not your steamy romance, but it has laughter as well as tender moments. Seeing the relationships progress as a result of the circumstances they were dealt was a bit unrealistic given the short length of the series, but it still was good to watch.
Definitely worth a watch, and I hope DramaBox releases more LGBT content!

I've never watched a show on a platform like DramaBox before, but I kept seeing ads for this and was intrigued. I gave it a "what the heck" type of try and ended up watching the entire series in one sitting!
Yes, it's cheesy. Yes, some parts are cringe. And yes, the show makers 100 percent know it. It's full of silly, campy, over-the-top humor, along with some tender and sweet moments and edge-of-your-seat plot events. And the result is a binge worthy, endearing story that will give you the serotonin boost you need.
The best part of the show is definitely Michael Naizu as Wyatt, the hunky title character. Not only is Naizu gorgeous to watch and swoonworthy in every single way, he also turns in a solid, convincing performance as the savvy secret agent with a heart of gold. And his chemistry with Andrei Prunila (who plays the title character's "spouse" Lucas) is excellent.
It's not the type of show that's going to be up for any Emmys likely, but it's a fun piece of entertainment if you're looking for something different. I enjoyed it so much I watched it a second time!

DramaBox bombarded me with ads and I finally gave in and spent the money for a one week subscription so I could watch the whole series. I was actually pleasantly surprised. Is this serial a little campy & cringe? Yeah, it is. But is it actually charming & likable? Very much so.
I didn't expect to like it as much as I did - I honestly did not expect to get hooked, but here I am writing a review!!! The plot was, as I said, maybe a bit implausible, but it was a great vehicle to the leads' building affection for each other and the ultimate resolution at the end. The two leads an actually felt like they were truly developing feelings for each other and I couldn't help but cheer for them as the plot unfolded. Whoever did the casting and coaching did their job well!
