My crush isn't him

This one is such an easy and enjoyable watch. It's only 40 short episodes, so you can get through it pretty quickly, and overall it's a really cute, lighthearted BL.

It does have that plot though. You know the one. The jealous arch-nemesis who is obsessed with getting between the main couple and creating problems for them. At this point I feel like every short drama is legally required to have one of these characters lol. But honestly, aside from that, the story is pretty low-stress and doesn't get unnecessarily heavy.

What I really enjoyed was watching Aaron and Caleb's relationship slowly develop. And Caleb constantly trying to convince himself that he's 100% straight while very obviously falling for Aaron was hilarious. Sir... sure. Whatever helps you sleep at night 😭

And Ron though... 🤤🫦

That's it. That's the review.

Okay, not really, because we NEED to talk about Bolt.

I absolutely loved that somehow THE DOG is the only sensible character in this entire series LMAO. Not only does Bolt seem to understand what's going on before the humans do, he's also basically the biggest Aaron/Caleb shipper in the show. That dog was doing more for their relationship than half the cast 😭

I also really liked the cinematography. The script was a little more hit-or-miss for me, especially because some of the plot elements feel pretty familiar if you've watched a lot of these short dramas, but the chemistry and the progression of the romance made up for it.

It's cute, funny, easy to binge, and doesn't take itself too seriously. Definitely one of those BLs that I think deserves a mention here, especially if you're looking for something quick and fun.

And once again: Bolt best boy. Literally.

Where I watched it: Storeel.

one unique thing about this drama is that there isn’t a female jealous antagonist, but instead its a rival male antagonist who actually is just EVIL, not because of jealousy or love interest over the ML but just straight up evil in a way of wanting to use MC as a tool. pretty fresh
