Feel good and heartwarming drama
A beautiful drama with beautiful characters and awesome story. After a long period of time I watched a drama that calmed my nerves and soothed me.The story is fast paced and gives an important message of being true to ourselves despite of how people perceive us. We don't need to hide our true selves as we will surely find people who love us for who we are, not just our polished sides.
The drama gives you hope and leaves you with a light and pleasant feelings in your heart. This show is now in my stress buster list.
Highly recommended! It's a hidden gem that you should definitely not miss :)

Cute RomCom of two green flags
This was too cute!!! I just love the main couple. Surely it had some flaws but the positivity that the main couple spread throughout the show was just beautiful. No toxicity just two dumb green flags who are learning to love each other. The boy squad is also awesome. The gay parents and single father of both ml were cherry on top and Singh was a delight.The story had some dramatic moments but they never last long which made the story easy to watch. Aiyerat is my huge crush and ideal boyfriend. Chen Nhai is my spirit animal. The boys gang constantly kept the show funny and the bickering of the main couple made the show more lovely

Another Gem by GMMTV
GMMTV BL never fails to amaze me. I love the green couple! It showed some clichés and novel scenes at the same time. I loveeeed Gun, he is such a green flag. I also liked how they handled the boss intern taboo, they tried to knit everything up by showing that real emotions of any strong person in that situation- frustrated, intimidated, confused at first but then coming out strong by breaking all the barriers. I enjoyed the idiotic mishaps of the gaming gang, they are the true kind of friends that you need in your life. I was impressed by subtle presentation of mental health issues through Jack without over exaggerating anything. It was dark but shiny at the same time. It involved me into there struggles but the characters didn't make me sad, their zeal of fighting back the situations and being optimistic was truly inspiring. The part of this story that I loved the most was that Gun and Cher were shown as the two sides of same coin, both handled the tussles of their lives by hiding their emotions but in such drastically different ways. However, they slowly started trusting each other and opened their bare scars in front of each other. After a long period of time, a show affected me in such a positive manner. I laughed almost half of the series with all the cuteness at the same time empathized with the serious parts of the series. All in All 10/10Was this review helpful to you?
Great and sweet bl , HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
A chance to love was a great show for me. If you see as an individual show rather than a sequel then it comes out to be in the list of top 10 bl shows. As it was pg15, the story was not intense but rather family dramatic. But there are many sweet moments that make your heart flutters and the chemistry is just awesome.I feel that it was a good decision by the writers to show another version of tin can story rather than continuing with the prequal because let's be honest their ending in that show was too painful to start a new show with. As the denial of confession was shown again after building their relationship from start, you feel less hurt and stay with the story. You get connected with the story more. I liked techno and kengkla story as well. The issue which a lot of people had about their story in the prequel was well addressed and their story was also cute.
The plot was dramatic but i think because of this we saw really raw sides of tin and can. I swear I cried with tin when he cried in the shower (PS SPOILER ALERT he didn't cry because of can). So at the end, the story did justice for me.
Overall this show was very soothing and loving for me. It gave me a source of comfort and made my heart warm
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! ATLEAST TRY AND I AM SURE YOU WON"T REGRET

Beautiful Hidden Gem
This was way good than I expected. I loved all the three characters but the alleged "son" stole my heart away. The last episode was just beautiful. This a good romantic story but it is an even better son-mother love story. The love that the the son-mother duo share can't be expressed in words, its so pure. The couple was also really cute. A great hidden gem.This may seem ridiculous in terms of logic but it is a heartwarming story in terms of sentiments. Thus, I suggest people to just think of it as a fictional romance story then you won't be able to find a singly fault in it. 10000/10 :)

Manga world came to real life
I loved this season. In this season, the main couple continued with their perfect chemistry with an addition of both the main leads taking a significant amount of initiative in the relationship. It makes you realise that confession is not the "happy ever after" of a relationship, but at the same time, it makes you understand that being true to your feelings with yourself and your partner is the key to any healthy relationship.The last few episodes may look cliche to many but for me it was an essential trope to bind the whole story together. There were so many scenes in this that I had read in various mangas and always imagined "what would they feel in real life (live adaption)?" (P.S I love mangas and they themselves are full-fledged motion pictures that leave you a huge impact like any film or TV drama) However, I still craved to see these scenes with actual human beings (especially the famous and magical summer festivals of yaoi mangas)
This show had its own pace that may test the patience of certain people but overall it was such a delight. It has great rewatch value and keeps you warm in a cold night.
P.S, this is the only show where I didn't skip the intro song for any of the episodes due to the "epilogue" kind scenes added to the intro related to the previous episodes. It was a cherry on top to this feel-good cake!

Hidden Gem!
When I started watching this show, I wasn't expecting much from it, but gradually the couple grew in my heart. It somewhere beautifully discusses the significance of mental health in this fast-paced world and at the same time portrays a healthy cute and sweet relationship of the main leads. Totally a stress-busting show.P.S our Rui Rui spread his magic once again on his new project :)
SPOILER: I loved the scene in which the girl found the guy when he was in distress and the way she approached him. In the 15th episode, the way girl slowly step by step walks towards him by asking questions like "Can you hear me?" "Can I hold your hand?" "Can we take some deep breaths?" I just loved how maturely the makers showed this scene of supporting someone whose mental trauma has gotten triggered
OVERALL A GREAT HIDDEN GEM. WILL SURELY WATCH IT WHENEVER I WANT A DOSE OF POSITIVITY

Great and awesome main leads; Hidden gem
This show in terms of story was a typical boss drama but the characters were really special. I loved both the characters, they were so clear on their visions. For both of them love was important but they never let it overpower their daily lives. One of my favourite things about this show was how the main leads handled the guy's mother. The male lead never disrespected his mother but was clear that no one can pressurize him to do something. He always stated his points clearly in front of his mother and other people like second female lead as well. In terms of handling people, the female lead also surprised me. The way she handled the second female lead and the mother impressed me. The talk with mother in the cafe was epic.At first I thought it to be a above average typical cdrama but the more I see this drama in depth I realise that it had many unique elements. The first one being such mature characters. The communication and respect for each other in their relationship was solid. They were an ideal example of how a healthy non-toxic relationship should look. There might be conflicts and situational problems like long distance relationship but at the end of the day it is up to you whether these things will make your relationship toxic or you will pass through these obstacles while keeping your relationship healthy. This drama teaches you to live a mentally healthy and good life while being a strong independent and loved person. Totally in awe with the main leads.
My final say: A beautiful drama with many hidden messages. Even if you don't find all of them, you will still enjoy this drama and feel happy while watching the episodes. It is a modern cdrama of 2021 in true terms with respect to its story and character development.

Beautiful show with ep11 curse
I personally really liked this show. After such a long time I had this overwhelmed feeling while watching this drama that I had while watching TharnType, Love by chance and WhyRU. This show may not be everyone's cup of tea seeing the type of bl dramas that came in 2021 but it has its own charm. Maybe I have been watching bl dramas since "make it right: the series" era so I felt a little nostalgic with the style this show was running. It's execution reminded me of those times. This is definitely on my rewatch list and LeoFiat are beautiful in the series.Appreciation for Don't Say No team

A breeze of fresh air that will be remembered for years to come
Lin in yang and yin guo are the purest souls of the drama world. Their relationship is a green forest. Leo wu and zhao jin mai nailed this series. They had the perfect chemistry and such rich emotions. Leo wu's eyes were so damn expressive in this series and zhao jin mai's subtlety in high emotion scenes were so graceful. The scenes of Lin in yang and yin guo were just beautiful. There were so many details in their interaction scenes which conveyed so many emotions of the character without any spoken dialogues (obviously the actors' efforts made these details visible to the audience). The story, the acting, the chemistry, the cast, the portrayal of foreign students in Western countries everything was perfect. This had the ideal level of romance, sports spirit, friendship, slice of life and familial love. I loved how several serious struggles of life were addressed in this show, but none of them got overly dramatic; each struggle had its genuine reason and proceeded & concluded in a realistic manner without any unnecessary twist or streak of good luck. All the turmoil and issues of the characters were well portrayed and beautifully expressed by the actors. Overall, this was a wonderful delight! This show will definitely become legendary, and viewers will remember it even years after its release. Kuddos to the cast and crew for creating such a novel, emotion-packed drama. It was a breeze of fresh air that left me mesmerized throughout the story.Was this review helpful to you?
