STORY- This story is just amazing, I don't really have words to describe my feelings for it. The drama was at it best when it was with the opera troupe. The main two characters are so well written and developed, you just fall in love with them. There friendship (bromance) is so beautifully written. I felt that the director and writer knew and understood the source material, they tried to respect the BL elements as best they could considering censorship. The only parts of the story I did not enjoy were the WWII elements, I found these parts to be pretty boring. This drama is just stunning and a must watch for story alone. Also the production was stunning from the costumes to the lighting it is a gorgeous drama.

ACTING- Andrew Yin was AMAZING as Xirui. He really stood out to me, and I felt like he really captured the character of Xirui well. I was never the biggest fan of Xiao Ming but he did really well in this drama. The whole cast did a really great job.

MUSIC- I thought the soundtrack was really well done. The Peking Opera songs were so beautifully done.

REWATCH- I will most likely watch this show again. Even if this show is really heavy at times and can be a tearjerker, it just to stunning to not watch again.

STORY- This story is very simple but cute. I found myself getting a little bored through some episodes. The story is not very exciting but it is still enjoyable. I really liked the dynamic between the three main leads, but I did feel that the story failed to live up to my expectations. I feel like the first 8 episodes are like a filler for hopefully the last 8 episodes.
ACTING/CAST- I LOVED the cast, they were amazing! I have not complaints.
MUSIC- Nothing really stood out to me.
Re-watch Value- I do not think it a drama that I would want to re-watch at this point in time. The story feels not finished so let hope that Netflix gives us the last 8 episodes.

I REALLY hope Netflix gives us the new season soon because I need to see what happens!

STORY- Rating 9.0- What I loved about this story was that it pulled on the heartstrings. It a sad story about the injustice of death and how unfair it really can be. All of the characters were lovable and kind, so I wanted everyone to have a happy ending. The story is different and a breath of fresh air. The ending let me down a little but other than that it was a really great story.
ACTING/CAST-Rating 10- I was blown away by the acting skills of this cast. This drama had a lot of intense scenes that required a high level of acting but this cast pulled it off. I was never a big fan of Kim Tae Hee but she really impressed me with this drama. Lee Kyu Hyung was outstanding and so was Go Bo Gyeol, this whole cast was amazing.
MUSIC- 8.0 Rating -. My personal favorites were To You by Hen and In the Night by Parc Jae Jung. The music really fits with the themes of sadness.
REWATCH- Rating 7.0- It just to sad for me to want to watch again. It a beautiful story that's worth the first watch but one time is good enough for me.

Wish You is a simple romance drama that need more time to develop.

STORY- First I would like to say that I love that Korea is starting to produce BL content. I hope that these short dramas could some day (hopefully) lead to something bigger. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy this short drama as much as the other two. I found the story to be lacking and the short length made it hard to fall in love with the characters. I feel that this story would have done better in a longer format, with more time to let the story play out. The characters felt flat at times and the romance was good but just needed more time to develop. This story has potential to be good, that why I would give it a 7.5.

ACTORS- The acting was good but not great. Nothing stood out to me but in no way was it horrible. It was just fine.

MUSIC- The music was good, I enjoyed hearing In Soo sing. It fit well with the vibe of the drama, so I have no complaint.

Story: I really like the concept of this story. The idea for a gangster falling in love with a cop. And I do feel like the story did a good job of developing there relationship over the 20 episodes. My issue with the story was I did feel at time that it got a little boring for me. But overall I did really enjoy it. 8.5
Acting: I thought then acting was really good. No issues. 10
Music: was there music in this drama? If there was it was not memorable. 5
Rewatch: I think I would 100% rewatch this show!
Overall: I really did enjoy this show. I did have a few small issues but they did not ruin the show for me. I would highly recommend this show! 8.5/10

STORY- The beginning of the show was great. I liked the whole novel concept and how they included parts that looked like a webtoon. I liked the couples and I really thought that this would become one of my favorite BL. But as the story went along if felt like everything started to fall apart. I do know that production was interrupted by the pandemic, but I think the problems started before then. The show did not do a good job of giving the two main couples equal screen time. Also the shows ending was rushed and did not really answer any questions. The story is just a mess.

ACTING- I liked the cast, I felt that the two main couples had great chemistry. The acting is really great and was the best part of this show.

MUSIC- I really don't remember any songs that stood out to me.

Rewatch- The only reason I would watch this show again would be for the acting and chemistry between the cast.

I wanted to say that this drama was amazing. I wanted to ignore all of the bad reviews and try my best to look at the drama with fresh eyes. I thought that the first half of the drama was amazing, the story was fast pace, and the world was interesting. I would say that the writer did a good job of building a world that was unique. The drama had a lot of potential, but failed in execution.

The last half of the drama lost me. It was confusing and felt unorganized. I felt that the romance lost my interest and that the story just felt flat. The characters never grew on me like I hoped they would. And the final episode was terrible, it left me with more question than answers. I gave this dramas story a 8 because I did really enjoy the first half of the drama.

The acting was good, Lee Jong Suk never disappoints me. Han Hyo Joo did a good job to, this was my first time seeing her on screen. I thought all of the actors and actress did a very good job.

The music was not good in my opinion. I really don't remember any song that stood out to me in the drama.

I have no plan on rewatching this drama.

STORY- I felt that the story did a good job (mostly) at being a cute simple love story. I do think that the added in drama in ep 12 was unnecessary. GMMTV loves to add in drama, I guess to try and make the story finale more impactful, but this one did not work for me. They use the same formula in almost all there BL’s, it extremely annoying. But I did enjoy the love story minus the drama, it was cute! I feel that the other two couples of course did not get the screen time they deserved but I have come to expect that. I give the story an 8.

CAST- I really enjoyed this cast! They all did a fantastic job, and I really like the characters chemistry and dynamics. GMMTV does have great actors/actresses. I give the cast a 10.

MUSIC- I liked how the music/band they used played a big part in the story. I thought the music was well done. I give the music a 10.

REWATCH VALUE- Taking away all the stupid useless drama, I really like the love story and the characters chemistry. I can see myself totally rewatching this show. I give the rewatch value a 9.5.
