Community reviews for Cosmetic Playlover, shown here with its season details.
This is about two guys working in the make-up industry who eventually become a couple and move in together. The good, it's a nice story and well acted with a cute cast. For me the not so good, the story jumps through time which one star narrates and it actually covers about two years of their lives. It also has a lot of plots changing throughout the story, making it feel kind of rushed and I didn't feel as much of a connection to the characters that I normally do.
