Semantic Error has only one error....

When I put it on to watch it was completely influenced by the cute gifs I found on the web. As it was a Korean series I imagined it would be longer and here's my surprise when I come across not only 8 episodes only, but also with durations less than 30 min. I thought "That's good, it's going to be something nice and fast". I couldn't be more wrong hahahahaha

I already say that if you are reading to know if it is good, I say that for me it was incredible. It's worth watching and I bet you will like it.

First I would like to point out that I found everything the aesthetics of the drama itself. The opening, the "error" effects, how they play with it in relation to the couple's relationship and in relation to Sang Woo himself, with his robotic behavior etc.

*Now for those who really want a full review, here we go....
The performances were very good, I thought the two actors matched very well and have a lot of chemistry. When I saw it from the outside - little snippets with songs - I thought Jae Young was the serious one and that he was older hahaha - I didn't know it was a college drama and that Sang Woo was the younger boy who is discovering to like a more closed guy. I came across the opposite. A stylish and popular guy paired with a meticulous introvert who thinks too much and doesn't like physical contact - I identified with him a lot, I was a bit worried.
I love the enemies to lovers style and here even if it's just one-sided, it still works masterfully. Because Sang Woo didn't really hate Jae Young, he just didn't like the way he changed his meticulously calculated life. The construction and deconstruction of the characters is impeccable and the way the two change - in the face of their own successes and mistakes - and evolve emotionally together is very light and believable. Nothing is played and done in any way just to shove a forced romance down the viewer's throat,

*Now as my title suggests, Semantic Error does have one flaw in my opinion... it's too short. Maybe too many episodes would spoil it, fine I agree. Especially because many productions become unpalatable precisely because they wrap too much. But I think in this case a little more time would be ideal, just a little. It gave me a feeling of wanting more, not only from the main couple, but in the nuclei around them. Things loose in the air that didn't have time to be shown on the screen. This drama is like choco milk shake - another short, South Korean drama - that shows us two romances so good and with so much feeling, but that last so little. I wanted to see more situations where Sang Woo was thrown against the wall about his own way of acting, especially being in a relationship with Jae Young, who is a very different guy from him.... I wish they would show more of them dating, at least a bit like it was done at the end of the final episode.

I believe that in general Jae Young needed a bigger reason to stay another semester at college and also someone who awakened more than just passion in his heart. Sang Woo, on the other hand, needed someone to force him out of his comfort zone, breaking barriers he considered unbreakable. He needed exactly a Jae Youg to warm his heart worthy of a very well developed software, but that was hacked by the power of love hahaha - very cheesy, I know. As they themselves say... it had to be them, because one needed the other.

A cliché from A to Z, but a cliché that works

IIf you stop to analyze it at first, you think that the surprise suitor is going to repeat all the cliché processes you've seen over and over again.... And that really is the case, but in this program we see how a good cliché should be done. Without having those classic toxic parts. We have the most common themes. The rich guy falls for the poor girl - but he's not a scumbag and she's not a dummy. Shin-Hari is intelligent, focused and self-assured, and Mr. Shang is a cute little dumpling, even if he does seem irritable at first. We also have one of my favorite clichés. The fake courtship that turns out to be real, I don't know if that theme works for me.

I liked the way they dealt with the conflicts, they didn't break up the couple for silly reasons, but made them fight together in the face of adversity. Both the family's non-acceptance, the company gossip - thanks to the toxic "friend" - and also the final conflict, which was the least of them. I really liked the secondary couple, who despite having different personalities - in addition to the inverse class difference of the main couple - managed to overcome this and stay together in the end, supporting each other. The way they deal with the rumors in the company also caught my attention. Her coworkers are lovely, and even though they've been hurt, they've stuck by her side like good, loyal friends.

I took one star off, because although it works and is very good to watch, it's still a very repetitive story. There are almost no twists and turns and it stays the same until the end. For example: I devoured the show at the beginning. The story of her pretending to be someone else, the make-up, putting on another character, the running around and the nerves to hide the truth. As well as the fact that it was super funny and cute how they went through this process. Towards the end, however, I lost interest because there were no new things or more exciting situations.

All in all, I really enjoyed this drama and I recommend it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. If you like clichéd romances, you will.

Livros e Romance... Como pode dar errado?

Uma mistura de romance, comédia, drama e livros. Como diz no título. O que poderia dar errado? Nada, pelo menos nada significativo que posso estragar essa experiencia incrível.
Vi esse dorama em 2019 e agora em 2023 vi novamente, apenas para comprovar as minhas certezas antes de fazer uma resenha. Posso dizer que foi igualmente maravilhoso, se não mais do que na primeira vez. Com certeza veria uma duzia de outras vezes, sem reclamar.
Eu recomendo.

A partir de agora é possível ter spoilers:
Personagens principais - Kang Dan-i é a típica mulher que faria de tudo por seu "amado"e sua família, uma mulher dedicada, amorosa, fiel aos seus sentimentos e acima de tudo, muito forte. A busca desesperada que ela tem por um emprego - seja ele qual for -, sendo mãe solteira e tendo sido traída e deixada sem nada, mostra muito do que vai ser entregue nesse arco: Dedicação e esperança acima de tudo. "Dança poderosa", como Dan-i diria. Gosto muito dela, uma ótima atriz (Lee Na-young) que nos entregou um ótimo desenvolvimento de personagem.
Já o Cha Eun-ho (interpretado pelo conhecido Lee Jong-suk), no começo me passou um sentimento de falta, mas que foi logo preenchido por um personagem de muitas camadas e marcas do passado. Todo o peso que ele carrega, não só em relação a Dan-i, mas também por causa de seu "pai" e fundamental para entendermos esse personagem que mesmo enfrentando situações difíceis consegue continuar sendo um ótimo homem.

Personagens Coadjuvantes
*Song Hae-rin (Jung Yoo-jin) entrega tudo, mesmo sendo confundida com uma bruxa no começo. Ela me marcou, me fazendo pensar em mim mesma e na minha relação com edição, livros e escrita.
Então, não da pra falar de Hae-rin e não falar de Seo-joon. Ji Seo-joon (Wi Ha-joon) é introduzido para nós como um possível obstáculo entre o casal principal - assim como Hae-rin em certos momentos - o que pode deixar o famosos "shippam errado" loucos - não foi o meu caso. Porém, o homem simples que serviu para cativar e animar Dan-i no começo evolui e mostra inumeras camadas e inseguranças, além do desejo de conhecer o amor e seu pai. Os dois formam um casal que se forma aos pouquinhos, de um jeito bem fofo e dorameiro coreano. Que encanta com a simplicidade e as briguinhas típicas. Uma verdadeira flecha do cupido no momento certo.
Não vou me estender muitos nos outros porque são muitos, todos com um lugar especial no meu coração.
Com destaque para:
"Casal" desengonçado:
Oh Ji-yool (Park Gyu Young)
Park Hoon (Kang Ki-doong)
Casalzão, surpreendentes. Poderia escrever mais sobre eles hehe:
Go Yoon-sun (Kim Yoo-mi)
Kim Jae-min (Kim Tae Woo)
Chefe de marketing que todo mundo queria e mulher empoderada:
Seo Young-ah (Kim Sun-Young)

Narrativa/enredo no geral
Romance is a Bonus Book tem romance. Aqui você não verá cenas quentes, mas verá relacionamentos evoluindo e se construindo de momentos pequenos, até virar uma fofura completa.
O escritória, ambiente de trabalho onde se passa a maioria das cenas, é simplesmente incrível - meu sonho de empresa. Nele vemos funcionários dedicados, que amam livros e dão seu máximo para que essas perfeições cheguem perfeitas nas prateleiras. Da pra sentir o amor deles só pelo jeito que trabalham e falam sobre o assunto. Cada um com sua particularidade e sentimento diferente. Não teve um personagem que eu odiei, nem a Srta. Go hahaha
Aqui coloco o único defeito que encontrei nesse dorama... Porque demora tanto para o casal principal rolar? Para mim já era óbvio a um tempo (primeiro beijo no ep 8 seria perfeito hehe). Entendo os obstáculos, medos e anseios dos dois, além da amizade de anos e o ambiente de trabalho, mas poxa, podia ter rolado bem antes. Só não fiquei mais decepcionada, porque é típico de romances coreanos.

Além disso a única coisa ruim desse dorama é que não existem mais episódios ou uma margem para uma 2° temporada. Porque sinceramente, veria esses personagens serem desenvolvidos por mais um bom tempo. Porém, não posso reclamar. O final é encaixado, fecha as portas que abre durante a história, entrega suspense básico, climão, curiosidade e uma surpresa que para alguns pode não ser tão surpreendente - aqueles que entendem mais rápidos -, mas que não podem negar que é bem bacana.

Para finalizar tenho que dizer que foi um dorama que realmente me encantou por diversos motivos, mas principalmente pelo carinho pelos livros... não só por eles, mas também pelos editores, produtores, escritores, desenvolvedores, equipe de marketing e todos que fazem parte da produção de uma editora. De como todos são igualmente importantes para que no fim, seu livro esteja na sua estante, em perfeito estado. Impossicel terminar essa série sem uma minima vontade de ler hahaha
Romance Is a Bonus Book me deixou de coração quentinho, do começo ao fim e ainda me deu alguns sentimentos importantes, como o respeito, felicidade e reforçou o meu amor por editoras e seus livros.
Simplesmente

I needed more and I got it

In summary it is good and primordial for those who watched Pornographer 2018 and liked it, if you want a little more about the characters and the story watch it. If you haven't watched the first one yet, I don't think it makes that much difference to change the order of the 1st and 2nd, just the next ones that are done more chronologically. But if you didn't like Pornographer, you possibly won't like this one either. I liked them both and I intend to watch the movie and the two shorts, because I like to finish continuations. It is a short series that holds and makes you want to know the end, I finished it in one day and I recommend it.

Full review
No Spoiler:
Surprisingly interesting, that's what Indigo no Kibun has awakened. Of course I prefer the original couple, but seeing a little more of the story of these two friends with a dark sexual past is indeed intriguing. Before I wondered how Kijima got to where he was and now I know the answer, it was all Kido Shiro's fault hahaha. Okay, it served to raise him financially, but it gradually killed the writer's soul that he cherished so much. Not because the erotic genre is inferior, but because it was not what he really wanted to write.

I think the two work within the context the mini series is placed in. I mean, in that time when the two had a different head and were going through different times than in Pornographer. Here we can also see better how Kijima's alcoholism problems were and also about the relationship with his family - something that in Pornographer is only briefly mentioned and hints at more lightly. Oh and the sex scenes, what a treat. They are very good and at the same time do not have that unnecessary weight of porn, but they are raw and very convincing. Too bad it wasn't with Kuzumi hahaha

Spoiler:
I also found out how Kijima Rio learned everything he knew about eroticism, even though he said he had little experience in that department. Kijima learned everything he knew from his pervert master. Does anyone understand anything about that gentleman? Was I the only one who found him a somewhat homophonic sexist? Anyway, you don't look at the teeth of a given horse? The fact is that Master Gamoda taught Kijima what he needed to be a good writer of erotic tales and Kido gave him the awakening of a pleasure he did not know. I have to admit that it was pretty cool to see how Kijima discovered what he liked about sex and to see how he was before he was "corrupted" - I say it ironically. At the same time, I had a contrary feeling of shame and strangeness when I saw some spicy scene or read very sexual dialogues, especially with Master Gamoda. I never understood if his words were compliments or offenses. I felt the sensation that I needed to hide to continue watching - I went through this more than once - but I believe this is because of all the taboo that is sneaked into our minds, to understand that talking or watching things about sex is wrong and perverted.

I may be rambling too much or it may just be voices in my head, but the conclusion I came to.
Gamoda's arc also brought me loss and I almost cried at his death, especially after I realized he actually considered Kijima and wasn't just putting up with him like I thought hahaha. I thought he would be an asshole even in the end, but no. Gamoda proved to be a good mentor - despite everything - and even had a "redemption" arc, showing his gratitude and worrying about Kijima's future after he left.

Finally, I find Kido a problematic and even somewhat psychotic asshole. What he calls impulse, I think of naughtiness. He practically used Kijima for years to support first a career goal out of pure interest and second to fulfill his desires. He would abandon him after sex, but always ends up going back to try something even though he is married/dating - in other words, disgusting. The truth is that Kido has and always will have a secret crush on Kijima, but has never accepted the fact to the point of taking him on as a partner. He had his chance, so now he needs to get over it and stop being inconvenient. Unlike him in Pornographer who I like, this Kido from the past I don't like so much and every time they were going to have sex I thought Kijima was going to get a concussion. Jesus why throw his head so many times on flat surfaces? It's floor, wall etc. I thought the character had evolved in the 2018 series, but we see here that he tries again an "innocent kiss", on impulse hahaha what a joke. What also does not improve is the performance of this actor Yoshida Munehiro tries, but delivers a weak, convincing, but still weak performance. Every time the camera focuses on his face I can only think that Kido has the same ass face or at least the face of someone who just farted.

The ending is good, they have their last contact and move on as friends/work partners, - even though I still find them kind of toxic - one helping the other etc. Kijima makes the right decision not to accept Kido's kiss, because he was already engaged and that makes me like him even more - I know he did the minimum, but if I think about it I don't think Kijima before meeting Kuzumi would have respect for a relationship. The two of them together at the door and then in the final scene just made me happier, because now I know they ended up together after all. I imagined that this could happen, because I believed in their romance, but seeing it was really much better.

This mini drama surprised me and held me with iron bonds

NOTE: I always do a short summary and then I put everything I think, for you who are too lazy to read very long reviews hahaha.

So short, but so impactful. I think this is the phrase that most defines CMS in my opinion.
In a nutshell I can say that I liked the performances, especially Milk's, - who masterfully showed every behavior of a cat, I loved it too much - I liked the soundtrack, which fits well with the scenes and the characters, I liked the chemistry, I liked the aesthetics and about the script.... well then the thing gets more complex - if you want to know more read the review until the end - but as it is a summary I can say that it is totally acceptable if you get into the wave of the series and understand the genre of the program you are watching, along with what the series wants to deliver. Because in the end it is not about what you want to see, but what the series has always been willing to deliver and in this regard Choco Milk Shake does not fail. I RECOMMEND watching for those who like the genre.

Now the full review:
1 ° we start with the script. I saw many people criticizing the novel, that it was okay for Milk to fall in love with Jung Woo's uncle, but that it was terrible for Choco and him to fall in love. Come on, for me any romantic interaction between humans or guardians and animals is a problem, but here in this series we have a break of worlds. They are no longer just a cat and a dog but two human beings who in a past life were animals and therefore, now in human bodies, still have old ways and customs. They return with the purpose of cheering up their former guardian, since he is lonely and obviously Choco feels this connection more because he has always been devoted to Jung Woo. Now as a HUMAN he has sensations and thoughts that before as a dog he didn't have and his devotion has turned into love. Is this fanciful and unlikely? OBVIOUS, but it is the genre you chose to watch. Many are saying, "It would be better if it didn't have the romance", but you chose a romance series, that's what it proposed. You knew about the theme and you knew about the romance. The series is not bad just because of that.
The script is complete and manages to develop the characters - as far as possible, because of the time limit - in a way that we start to care about them and instigate us to want to know how they will solve the problems and what they are feeling in the process.

2° Some pertinent points:
The characterization of the animal-human transition is very well done and so is the whole dramatic story about losing a pet. Anyone who didn't cry at the end or at least feel their chest tighten is a psychopath, honestly. Because the build up of Jung Woo's pain and the way they portray the bond Choco and Milk still feel, is heartbreaking. Especially when they have a time limit to stay on earth.

I don't agree with most and I like Choco with Jung Woo because I can separate Choco who was an animal and Choco who came back with human thoughts and sensations - it allows him to have feelings that a dog wouldn't have. But I have to agree that Milk and Uncle make a much better couple. Not only better constructed, but also because they are comical and just fit together. Even their ending is cuter. I'm Milk's little dog, so I'm easily influenced.

3rd and last. I liked the ending, I think the 10th episode exposes reality and makes us think about thousands of sad things about overcoming and understanding that limits exist. That things end and that everyone is gone, that we have an "expiration date" and the like. But we are seeing a work of romance and fiction, which still touches on fantasy, so the 11th episode was a more than welcome addition. I like this overlap that dramas do. To bring the worst to the end to give a happy ending and if you believe that the ending should be in episode 10, fine, pretend that the last one didn't exist. Like the last season of GOT hahaha. When Choco left it touched parts of my heart that I wasn't prepared for, I can't imagine losing my dogs and it brought up a very real fear in my daily life. That's why I cried a lot. But the series shows another side too, it shows that they were always there, that they were fine despite having passed away, always by Jung Woo's side, listening to him and trying to know if he was okay. Aff, I'm crying just remembering to write this hahaha.

I appreciate that they let Choco come back because Jung Woo needed his buddy back and vice versa. As for Milk... The world needed him back, because he's too perfect and Uncle needed him too, because let's agree that he was a pretty lonely man too, who didn't seem to care about almost anything besides his nephew and the restaurant. At least with Milk he got a love and a private taster for the rest of his days on earth.
Could you tell I loved the mini drama? Well, it was very obvious right. I understand who has criticisms, but I don't agree with any of them, as a good lunatic fan. I recommend the series a million times and prepare your tissues - I'm serious.

You Make Me Dance "made me want to dance"

A short drama that caught my attention for the dance theme and the aesthetics as well.

Basic summary.... A good drama, touching and engaging like every Korean drama. The actors are good, have good chemistry and I recommend it for those who like a light romance without much catching. If you want a short story, without much believable development and with a cute love, this drama can please you as it pleased me.

Now the whole review:
First you need to start watching knowing that the story is not meant to give you great conflicts and surprising twists, it is a light and relaxed cliché, which yes, could be better if it had another purpose. I believe that for what the program announces there is a very satisfactory delivery. You Make Me Dance was one of the dramas on my list that took me the longest to watch, but as I recently saw that it was shorter, I decided to end my procrastination soon. And what an experience my friends, really heartwarming and making him dance to the beat of every dance, dialog and scene. As I said the actors have chemistry and I follow a classic drama script, very light and without those hot kisses - except for the first one in the office, which for me was the best.
I think it was the only thing that left me with a taste of wanting more, I wanted a little more intensity - it's not chemistry, because it has plenty in the looks and conversations. I loved the soundtrack and I already have some songs saved on my Spotify cof cof hahaha.

No Spoiler:
Unlike other small series I've seen, I believe this one had a round end and left me satisfied, without that feeling of "Oh my God, why did it end if there could still be more?". Because it didn't need more and if it had maybe it would spoil - unlike the last review you wrote about Semantic Error, YMMD is a treat with a nice and cute ending.
I really enjoyed the moments I spent with this drama and I really hope more people can be influenced to watch it by my review.

Spoiler:
I liked the way they developed Shi On, a boy who was forced to grow up and mature on his own after a regretful abandonment, and who still trusts people and wants them around, even if he is rejected. He tries hard and puts effort into everything he does and that's why he doesn't lose their love. As for Hong Seok, I have to admit that I was angry with him at the end for hurting my baby Shi On, but he ended up making the right decision and leaving the boss going back to his beloved. The end even made me like the chief collector, who released him from his promise. The legend of the red thread might be a beaten and overused one, but here it works and makes everything even cuter - the first scene made me smile like a little girl in love hahaha. The two needed to find each other and really form a couple that can't be separated and when a novel manages to leave this feeling in the viewer, ladies and gentlemen, this is a good novel. When you believe that nothing can stop them and that no matter the difficulty, they will get through it together.

Certainly better than I expected

This is a work that escapes the expected. Unlike many other programs I criticize, I had no specific expectations. I wanted the couple to have chemistry and the story to be minimally thought-provoking, obviously I also expected some sex scenes - taking into account the name. Here's my surprise when I get that and more.

My biggest fear was the kind of "sexual sample" I would have, since many Japanese works in various forms portray sex in a rather crude and expository way, a little too grotesque or with unnecessary things, like: "What kind of human being makes that noise when he has sex?". However, I honestly thought that there was a lack of sex scenes between the main couple - since with other characters we have some even a little more experienced. That was a bit comical for me.

POSITIVE POINTS of this work are:
The light and at the same time sexy way that the interaction of the two is built, the whole part where the two get to know each other little by little thanks to the accident and the teacher's frame - which was a very good idea, by the way - during the writing of their books, or better rewrites hahaha. I could feel a very comical, sexy and engaging setting and script. All that at the same time! The fact that they gradually show that the teacher is emotionally unstable, but at the same time not making it clear what happened to him is also intriguing. Since I was in doubt about what he was really feeling and if what he showed was true, like: "Is this really what he thinks? Was it all a lie, a delusion?" Well, he calls himself a great liar and so he went all the way.... Even among his various truths, he managed to bring a bittersweet taste about his lies and the relationship he forced with Kuzumi.

This feeling is a mixture of sensations, I felt the same as I was when I was younger. When I discovered some perverse things that I didn't know if I could discover hahaha.

NEGATIVE POINTS are:
Basically a controversy. Many love, others hate the ending. I stick with the second argument, but I think hate is too strong a word. I can say - as I saw someone else comment - that I was a bit disappointed. Not only because it leaves an agonizing aftertaste of wanting more, but also because I felt the characters deserved more. I thought it was a heartbreaking ending. However, we can justify this "tragic end".
The two needed to build themselves. One had to form his own life, finish his studies and find himself outside the dependence that was created and the other needed to find himself within himself to return to writing the works he loves so much. I believe that staying together at that moment they would not be able to make it work.

Writing this review I discovered that there are continuations and short hahaha. So I have a lot to watch yet about this universe. I hope not to be disappointed anymore. For now I leave the review of the series of 6 episodes, dated 2018.

Precisamos falar sobre Hit Bite Love? Infelizmente, sim.

Como pegar um romance/hot/mistério em uma bagunça completa? O diretor conseguiu esse feito.
Esperei um tempo para poder assistir essa série, porque queria saber se haveria o anuncio de mais episodios. Pelo que tinha ouvido, apenas 6 seria muito pouco, mas a única coisa que veio foi o anuncio de uma proxima temporada. Me dei por vencidade e comecei a assitir.

Se você gosta de séries rápido, emboladas de tramas mal acabadas e um discurso problematico. Essa série é pra você.
No começo a série conseguiu me pegar. Virei cadelinha de Burguer e King, a virada de história sobre o romance deles é engraçada e até bem fofa, mas precisamos concordar que é um tanto perturbador. Sem entrar em muitos detalhes, achei um pouco forçado como tudo foi se desenvolvendo, além de todos os momentos de vergonha alheia.

Pontos positivos:
Gostei da música, juro que ficou na minha cabela e eu me via cantando enquanto almoçava.
Gostei das atuações, uma ou outra pecam, mas nada absurdo.
Os casais são criveis, mas forçados. Porém, não posso dizer que não gostei por completo. A discussão sobre um relacionamento tóxico e o fato de mudarmos nossas vidas para nos encaixar nas vontades do namorado, é bem importante já que muitas vezes esse problema é minimizado. Só que colocar um adolescente confuso e com o coração partido para se relacionar com um riquinho com complexo de "Dom" e cafetão? Jura que alguém achou que isso daria certo? Que pareceria saudavel? Isso pra mim não é discutível.

Pontos negativos:
Eu entendo o apelo de querer misturar um romace hot e fofo com crime e mistério. Juro que entendo. Até porque Elite e algumas séries estão ai para provar que isso funciona e muito bem. Porém, uma história tão fraca, com muitos pontos principais e com tão poucos episódios... Isso define o caos.

A vilanização das duas meninas que aparentemente nasceram para serem enganadas por garotos que estão se descobrindo gays e por isso elas se tornam intragaveis, é simplesmente desgastante e machista. Venhamos e convenhamos, isso é um cenário crível e particularmente comum. As pessoas podem sim descobrir sua sexualidade estando em outro relacionamente com alguém do sexo oposto ou do mesmo sexo. Então porque demonizar os meninos por isso? E principalmente, porque tornar as duas meninas tão malvadas? A ruiva, cujo qual nem quero lembrar o nome, é uma garota infantil e mimada que não sabe ter uma conversa básica para entender o que está acontecendo com o próprio namorado. A Pimtha é uma menina estilo "meninas malvadas" que foi tirada do papel de vitima (pela exposição do video) apenas pelo bel prazer dos roteirista, para apenas ter um conflito feminino entre as duas e torna-las não suficientemente inimigas dos caras, mas também entre elas mesmas. É como um dos personagens diz: "Porque ela teria inveja de você apenas por um papel em uma peça escolar?" Acho que é a parte mais sensata dessa série hahaha.
Um adendo a professora Jaqueline que é NOJENTA, nunca na vida pensei que veria falas tão tortas ditas de forma cotidiana e comum. Principalmente de um personagem que eu ACHO que é trans ou travesti. Já vi personagens que esse ator fez e a única coisa positiva desse é a atuação do proprio ator. Que conseguiu transformar minha admiração por ele, em nojo completo.

O último ponto é o desenvolvimento dos "casais". Não tenho nada contra o casal de BDSM que começou de forma duvidosa e explana o topíco de sadomasoquismo de forma errônea, mas sinceramente achei eles fracos. Não me apeguei e geralmente gosto de temáticas desafiadoras. Casal bem qualquer coisa, que poderia facilmente ter sido deixado de lado para que os outros pudessem se sobressair, mas não, o apelo do "fetish" sexual e das cenas hot falou mais alto na hora de botar o conteúdo em prática. A curta cena hot do começo, entre os namorados não assumidos da de dez a zero em qualquer outra desse casal ai.
King e Burguer também foram outros dois mal explorados e problemáticos. Querem enfiar goela a baixa de um personagem a orientação sexual, quando podiam ter trabalhado um desenvolvimento mais calmo e fofo para que Burguer percebesse que na verdade é bissexual e que também gosta de King, apesar da paixonite na guria la.
O último casal de irmão postiços daria um arco engraçado e até complexo em certo nivel, se não fosse a pressão em torna-los do nada enteresse romantico um do outro e o fato de terem pouco tempo de cena. Mesmo que no final do 6 episódio o mistério gire mais entre eles.

No mais Hit Bite Love até tinha potencial, se não fosse um bando de estereótipos chatos acumulados em uma serie adolescente. Não vi outros trabalhos desse diretor, mas pelo que li todos seguem o mesmo destino, por isso só me deixou com menos vontade de assistir mais. Vou esperar ansiosamente a 2 temporada, pois quero saber o que vai acontecer, mas esperao ainda mais que eles possam aproveitar essa oportunidade para corrigir os erros cometidos, fechando mais portas narrativas do que abri-las para que não tenhamos respotas alguma.

Um BL que tinha muito potencia - apesar da masculinidade tóxica óbvia hahaha

Olha se não é a toxidade batendo na sua porta? Foi uma grande surpresa que Love Syndrome seria assim? Não, pois já era dito desde os primordios que era esse tipo de serie e como grande fã blzeira abracei a causa e decidi ver sem julgamentos.
*Já aviso que não sera uma resenha curta, mas será produtiva!*

Bom, o que eu acho da série: Acredito que espectativas são criadas ao ver o trailer de um conteúdo - muitas vezes precisamos manter nossos pés no chão - e isso é ótimo, pois nos instiga a assistir. Porém Love Syndrome além de não suprir as espectativas que nutriu no trailer, conseguiu me deixar facilmente entediada.
Em todo o desenvolvimento posso dizer que me mantive interressada apenas até o episódio 7 e acho que poderia ter acabado antes de 12 episódios arrastados e sem conteúdo.
Basicamente, aqui vemos um enredo um tanto clichê, mas com grande potencial, mas explorado de forma muito superficial e um tanto caótica. Nem sei como organizar meus pensamentos sobre tudo que assistir sem me confundir toda.

Algumas coisas que me incomodaram no geral:
Musica principal chata e repetitiva, trama violenta que é violenta apenas por ser, sequestros simplesmente jogados no roteiro, inconsistencia de humor pior que a de um esquizofrenico - sem querer ser capacitismo - abuso de cenas flashback, quimica entre os atores disperdiçada com coreografias de cena desengonçadas , brigas e ciumes sem sentido e exagerados que surgem DO NADAAA e alguns outros pontos.
Resumindo, no meu ponto de vista Love Syndrome poderia ter explorado a falta de memória do Day e a volta de seu temperamento antigo para melhorar a toxidade que o próprio Itt tem para com o namorado - mesmo que seja propositalmente permitido a ser tóxico por Day -, assim amadurecendo o personagem mimadinho e ao mesmo tempo trabalhando a volta de lembranças do Day. Conectando ai os flashbacks do porque ele se apaixonou pelo Itt e porque mudou tanto de sua personalidade por ele.
A parte que foi um pouco melhor encaixada foi o lance com o Night. A vingança do Day etc. O fato dele perder a memoria e só descobrir depois o que o Gear e o Itt tinham feito com o irmão é bem climatico, pois é facilmente escondido de propósito pelo namorado.
Por isso que eu digo que com uma linha do tempo solida e uma história mais bem explorada ou pelo menos pensada direito, essa séria subiria umas 3 estrelas para mim.

Até porque tenho que confessar, nem eu entendo porque o Day mudou pelo Itt. O menino é mais infantil que a minha afilhada de 7 anos e ainda não tem minimo de carisma - apesar do ator tentar com sua boa atuação, extrair algo desse personagem.

Para finalizar, o final. Quem é esse Pete NA FILA DO PÃO? Porque ele foi introduzido tão de repente e em um contexto tão desajustado? Para acrescentar tempo, história ou foi só para ter um conflito final? Eu não sei, mas achei MUITO forçado. Todo lance da máfia... CHATO e só está presnete para dar um arzinho de maldade perigosa do tipo "Eu sou fodão e sei bater nos outros" Fala sério, o Day derrubou um cara enorme e não conseguiu lutar conta o Pete? O PETE? Isso nem é crivel, pelo amor de Deus. A ceninha dramatica com Pete no ep 11 afffffffff
Day sofre de novo, mas dessa vez lembra de tudo. Tão previsivel, mas gostei da brincadeirinha que fizeram nessa cena. Me deixou com vontade de bater em alguma coisa hahaha

OBS: Em contra partida amo o relacionamento problematico do Nan e do Mac. É isso senhoras e senhores, me julguem! hehehe Só que achei o final deles meio largado e robótico, mas pelo menos teve um desfecho.
Como sempre os casais secundários tem mais química que o principal.

KinnPorsche is a phenomenon!

I have no words to describe how special this series is. It was my first Boys Love and KinnPorsche was my best hit, I got it right the first time. This is a program that holds the viewer and makes him get involved with all the couples formed, in different ways. Basically, it is very worth watching. For the romance, for the hot scenes, for the mafia content, for the characters... for everything.

Spoiler:
I'll start with Kinn and Porsche, because they are the main ones and a fuckable couple. They take you slowly and when I saw it, I was already in love. In the middle of all the craziness and thousands of problems, they have time for a cute scene straight out of teen movies - their first date, it's the date I wanted to have. The way they are sexy and at the same time have interactions of "normal" couples, like the breath in the morning, cheesy jokes and a fart under the blanket hahaha, Kinn's justifiable distrust, which shakes their relationship.

Pete and Vegas are like an explosion that caught me very off guard The unpredictability of the hot in a new unconventional couple and how they stay together, discovering each other's similarities and weaknesses. I'm not going to deny the problematic nature of this relationship, let alone the romanticized violence, but I did manage to gloss over the overall context. I never thought Pete could be even better and that Vegas would have so many layers.

Some points I liked:
Game of mobsters - Interaction of the 1st and 2nd family - How the aftermath of the final events left me glazed and with much anticipation - The final plot that left me surprised - Character growth and development - Doubtfully innocent and dangerously suspicious ghost ex-boyfriend and more.

Now I come to the last point and the most sensitive for me: Kim and Porchay
I so wanted to see more of them! They had so much to show! But I understand that there probably wasn't more development because you can't show everything - sometimes you can, but do what hahaha I just cry - and I think it was the right way so it wouldn't be a bad thing. I still wish there was at least a mention that they were together, not just a song on the radio. It was cute, but is it too much to ask for one more kiss and a bit more screen time?
So, there's Jeff and Jeff is just Jeff, right? Hahaha. That alone wins points. What to talk about a couple that with so little managed to win so many fans? The two together have such a cute chemistry. The way Kim becomes a mentor to Porchay, -even though he has motives behind it- how he starts to protect and care about him and the course of their relationship, the way he gets awkward and surprised by Porchay's love, Porchay's MUSIC too... worthy of a tragic romantic cliché that moves you and makes you want more and more. I just can't seem to let go of them. With the release of the season 2 announcement I hope they think about opening more space so they can show more of this couple.

In the meantime, we can see the two actors in the new BL that will soon launch "Wuju Bakery". As well as Pete and Vegas actors in "4 minutes".

Good, but it could be much better

I had expectations, big expectations - mainly because of Jade, I love the actor - and I think because of that I ended up being a bit disappointed. I still think it's a good show, fun, sexy and interesting, but it could have wrapped up less. I recommend it for those who like the genre.

The main couple matches a lot, the sex scenes are worth it precisely because of the actors' chemistry. It has a dramatic appeal due to Uea's trauma, but I missed a deepening of the script, exploration of supporting characters (like Jade and Mai, and Gun too), as well as some other things that could make us more attached to the series. Because honestly, from chapter 7 or 8 onwards it started to bore me a bit. The dynamics of Colored Friends have already been explored several times, in various scenarios and in various means of entertainment, so for the plot to be based on this it takes a little more creativity and commitment to get out of the sameness. Which is exactly what happens in this BL. It's not bad, it's just more of the same. The series could end two episodes earlier if it were to stick with this same content.

I continued for Jade and also because, as I said, I liked the chemistry that the actors have together and wanted to know the outcome of the story.
NOTE: I also have to confess that I was waiting for Mai to appear hahaha since there will be a spin-off series soon and because I am simply in love with him and Jade. Passion derived from when they played Syn and Nuer in Cutie Pie (help me, I'm deluded hahaha). The actors together are divine perfection. Besides Koraphat Lamnoi being very sexy, his look moves me.

"Only friends" is the least common type of relationship in this series

Overall, it's a good series and I recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy a teen drama with hot scenes. I thought the stylistics were good and so were the songs, the performances were good and the couples worked well. I found the ending a little too sappy, which didn't fit with the rest of the drama, but that's what's common in this genre. A combination of Elite and Asian drama that works.

Full review SPOILER ALERT:
I want to make it clear that this story has several triggers, red flags and almost 100% toxic characters. All four of the friends at the beginning already have certain warning flags, and the added characters, as the word says, only add more flags (for the most part). The kittens and problems are well developed - for the most part - which makes the series a good example in some situations - such as Ray's alcoholism. Did I expect more? Perhaps the ending, but otherwise the show delivered what it promised. Despite a few flaws and loose ends, I liked it a lot.

Sand and Ray
Even with all the mishaps, they're the best couple. Sand is my favorite, by far one of the characters who left me with the warmest heart and even when he annoyed me I wanted to wipe it off. Sand is the most sensible character in this whole mess, hard-working and focused, he works hard to ensure that his dreams are built gradually. But when Ray appears out of the blue, everything becomes more complex. Their "just friends" relationship was never going to happen, because from their first interaction the flirtatious chemistry comes on like a strong gust. Sand has her worries about her mother and especially problems with her father, but she doesn't let them get to her and is always very confident about her decisions.
Ray, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. He's always had everything he needs, everything money can buy, but he's equally ill-at-ease with his father and lost his mother at an early age. All this has turned him into an emotionally unstable, alcoholic young man. To make matters worse, his first love is his best friend, who obviously doesn't feel the same way, which only makes him feel more incapable and inadequate. He annoyed me many times and wanted to shout at my computer screen for it, but I soon understood his motives and the apologies and crying came... the crying broke me. Because even though it's something toxic, we can't demand wisdom and resilience from a young man who doesn't have the stability for it and Sand knew what he was dealing with from the start, yet he still decided to face it and help the man he had started to love.
I believe that the two of them met to fill in each other's gaps, but since that doesn't sustain a relationship, little by little they began to mold themselves as a couple, resolved their differences and managed to understand each other. I'm suspicious because it was my favorite couple. In addition to the chemistry of millions, the two manage to deliver deep arcs and conversations. The gradual development and involvement of the two, their stories and how they intertwine in a natural way... I'd happily watch a BL drama with just the two of them. This left me frustrated, because even though they end up together, I felt that more was missing. It deserved more development and a much better script.
PS: if you can bear to read to the end, you'll understand that the problem isn't the idea or the characters, but the poorly developed script

Top and Mew
A relationship built up too quickly and that didn't get me down enough. Top is a catch and wants to prove that he can get Mew. Mew, on the other hand, was a little nerd who was very calm when a hot guy showed up to shake him up and break his psyche.
The actors have chemistry, which is what helps them both work. The rest is just walking backwards. Mew is a virgin and has no experience with relationships and that's what the series wants to show, but when they actually sleep together - which I thought was very fast, with no development - everything is different. Because when you have a character who finds the first time special, you expect the relationship to be a little more delicate and that doesn't happen. Basically, the couple is destroyed by the script. Regarding Top's betrayal, I'll just say this: I wouldn't go back. The ending needed them together, okay. But Top is very forced, both in his relationship with Mew and afterwards when he tries to win him back.
I liked Mew until he started trying to forgive Top. I even liked the rebellious version, but then when he goes to give Top a second chance, it's a back and forth of anger and hurt, where at every moment he throws the betrayal in his face, only to end up together with the phrase "I've forgiven you, but that doesn't mean I'll forget". Guys, you can't sustain a relationship like that. Only in fiction hahaha. I also found it very hypocritical of him to throw so many things in Boston's face, when he was standing there with Top stuck to the back of his head. Their ending is cute, but it doesn't matter what they do, because the couple would still be average due to the weak script.

Boston and Nick
First of all, Nick needs therapy. That's all I could think about during all his scenes. The point is that Nick isn't as innocent as he seems - he's my baby, but I have to be realistic - because he knows what's going on at all times. Both in terms of his relationship with Boston and in terms of Boston's interest in Top, he still let Boston make a fool of Mew. That's my only quarrel with this character. If he wants to be in a bad "relationship", okay. It's his choice, but knowing that someone else could get hurt and not do anything about it, just to protect a trashy boy.... There's no defending it.
As for Boston, I honestly feel sorry for him. No relationship in his life is deep. Not with his family and not with his friends. He has a "God complex", he's always right, he's selfish, he's manipulative, he's a bad friend, boyfriend.... He's simply incapable of having a healthy relationship with anyone and of accepting his own mistakes. So he represses his desires, because in my opinion his thing is not monogamy, maybe an open relationship would be best for him. He's always looking for a problem to get into or where to put what's between his legs, which ends up causing more problems for him - as in the case of him sleeping with his friend's brother.
What he does to Mew is simply unjustifiable and, in the context of the series, unforgivable. As a friend, I don't know if I'd have the stomach to forgive him. You can tell that he doesn't care if his actions hurt the people around him, even if they are "important" to him. As if nothing he did would have consequences. He only really starts to care when he's alone, so it's too late for almost any relationship he wants to save. He screwed up with Ray, with Mew, with Top and with Nick. Chueam is the only one who had any mercy. People forgave him, but they also didn't want him around anymore. A couple that really wouldn't work - and we understood this once and for all at the end - simply because they want different things and think very differently.
It's a shame that they didn't work out in the end, because I had hoped for a better development for Boston. Where he would really find himself alone and gradually change his thinking, confessing that he loved Nick. Even though Nick deserved better, I was still hoping for a good ending, but the two of them ended up alone. A waste of chemistry, since that's the only thing they have left.

There's a lesbian couple - Chueam and April - who are cute, but very little explored. I found this sad, because I was very curious to see how they would develop. Another point is Boeing, what a disgusting guy and how much chaos he caused with everyone. He tried to finish off Top and Mew, and when he didn't get his revenge, he tried to get back with Sand. Ridiculous opportunist! It's a pity that this only happened at the end of the plot and I'm sure it was just to pad out the script - which it didn't need to because we had some loose ends that were poorly resolved.

Na lista de "BLs do meu coração"

Sinceramente, esperava menos. Não sei se é por isso que me surpreendeu tanto, mas também posso ter sido influenciada pela química explosiva dos dois casais principais. Tenho que confessar que Sky e Prapai são meus preferidos, mas Rain e Payu não ficam atrás.
Além da química e das cenas hot muito bem feitas, eu gostei do desenvolvimento dos personagens e de como as histórias são diferentes, mas se ligam no final.
R e Payu começam meio cliches, mas a sintonia e comedia deles me conquistou, a parte que mostra como eles tiveram a primeira interação na faculdade é fofa. Já S e Prapai me conquistaram desde a primeira aparição, a forma como se conhecem e já acontece todo um jogo de sedução é perfeito, a desconfiança, a insistencia e por fim como eles se tornam um casal em meio ao drama dos traumas... Eu amei. Chorei horrores com as anotações do Sky, pelo amor de Deus aquela cena com os dois deveria vir com aviso de conteúdo sensivel kkkkkkkkkkkk
Para concluir, é um dos meus BL's favoritos com certeza. Veria varias vezes e recomendo.
