Misunderstanding, Misinformation, Misleading, Misinterpretation; Just an Overall Miss

Have never seen the leads before this so was interested to see how they did. All I can say is that I hope their past and future work has better scripts than this absolute mess of one. The novel readers made it sound great and interesting with a new concept but instead it was a misunderstanding, with misinformation, misleading, misinterpretation, basically an overall miss.

Pros: Literally the chemistry of the leads and second leads, working relationships. The business aspects of it as it showed how different firms worked. Some comedy. That was it! The actors did as well as they could with the shredded mess they were given. I under no circumstances fault them.

Cons: Who in the 21st century still writes FL's with zilch EQs? Nearly 30 episodes of 36 revolved around a misunderstanding so absurd I don't know how it was even pulled off. FL took some dumb chick's who broke up her already ridiculous relationship words as gospel instead of finding out the truth as she was supposed to be some brainiac reporter and with that proceeded to act cringey beyond belief trying to get close to ML a CEO at new but major company. The bestie with her dumb as bricks advice that made things worse when she couldn't make her own life work made you want to scream.

When the truth came out finally, the FL still didn't reveal it to ML even though both had genuinely fallen for each other. Their relationship was originally built on a lie and once exposed it naturally crumbled. The FL was a selfish, self-absorbed moron that I wouldn't have forgiven as easily as the ML did. This show could have been made just fine with 24 or 26 episodes. The dragging of the ridiculous lies and misinformation, was unnecessary.

Would I recommend it? Absolutely not. This is probably one of my shortest reviews but nothing after the leads got back together even redeemed it for me. I am watching BL in a costume drama right now where she's killing it and I hope to see Dylan in the future in a great written drama. Save yourselves the aggravation and just run.

Simple and Predictable

**Brief Synopsis**
B (Employee): Do Hoon
T (Cook): Yoon Soo

B and T are neighbours. Once upon a time, they used to be university classmates and somewhat friends but T developed a crush on B and because he was unable to bear one side crush, he dropped out of university. Later on, they reunite and it takes B some time to remember T. By now, T has become an awsome cook and is more confident in pursuing B romantically. At first, he attracts B's attention with food and slowly, B starts to enjoy his company and intimate touches. Soon B falls for him. He confesses and after dealing with T's clingy ex boyfriend, they end up together.

**My Opinion**

WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT
- Very likable characters even though we don't know much about them other then a few facts. They have their own faults sure but they do their best with each other and themselves.
- The acting is pretty nice. The actors do a good job in convincing the audience of the affection that exists between the characters. The sexual tension is pretty obvious from the start.
- The show gives off a rather warm feeling. It's not dramatic by any means and it is not deep; it's just two guys falling in love and dealing with their feelings.
- Limited angst. Because the show is so short, they don't drag the angst on forever. There are attempts at communication but it is limited.

WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE ABOUT IT
- Cliche and predictable plot with no memorable moments.
- Using misunderstandings as way to introduce angst. It's extremely lazy writing. B sees a bracelet T has on a photo and thinks T is playing with him. He runs away and doesn't let T explain.
- The pacing is really fast and the build up for the relationship really limited. At the end of the show, they say I love you to each other but from what I can see, it's just not convincing.
- In scenes that don't involve romance, the acting can get a little unnatural but that doesn't ruin the show.
- Very limited plot and character development because the series is just too short.

**Conclusion**
Simple typical BL that you could take a look if you do not have other shows to watch.

The director's style is fully evident in this picture, which, when you dive into it, is not at all flat, as it might seem at first glance. Human destinies, human natures, a momentary true glimpse on the path of two lives. Whoever is able to perceive this will find it in the film. The acting was very good, the most appealing to me was Lee Yi Kyung as Tae Joon, and I must admit that he looked very hot as well. Gyu Won-a's character was too cold, marked by the past, but that was just the way it was. I recommend it only to those who have experience and a feeling for Korean parts


Styl režiséra je naplno patrný i u tohoto snímku, který, když se do něj ponoříte, není vůbec plochý, jak by se mohlo na první pohled zdát. Lidské osudy, lidské povahy, chvilkový pravdivý záblesk na cestě dvou životů. Kdo je schopen toto vnímat, ve filmu si to najde. Herectví bylo velmi dobré, nejvíce mě oslovil Lee Yi Kyung jako Tae Joon, a příznám, že navíc vypadal hodně sexy. Postava Gyu Won-a byla až moc chladná, poznamenaná minulostí, ale to tak prostě bylo. Doporučuji jen těm, co mají zkušenosti a cit pro korejská dílka.

Waste of time

Story is slow. Not recommended to watch. Very dissapointing Drama from Bailu & Dylan. People will only watch it because of the hype of popular lead actors.

Boring drama. You need to pay just to watch the wedding scene of Dylan & Bailu. A very dissapointing drama.

Another Japanese film that arouses rather condemnation from a large part of the audience who do not understand its meaning, why it was made and for whom. Sex, hard sex, forced sex, rape. These are all the elements of yaoi manga as Japanese girls and women have gradually forced them over many decades, or better said, this is how the rules that Japanese women like have been determined. It is not worth wondering why in the film the rape is not even followed by condemnation of others. The only thing that bothered me a bit was that Yuuki (Takasaki Shota, the still cute actor after nine years), the concertmaster, couldn't actually play the violin, even by mistake.


Další japonský snímek, který vzbuzuje spíše odsouzení u velké části diváků, kteří nechápou jeho smysl, proč byl vyroben a pro koho. Sex, tvrdý sex, vynucovaný sex, znásilnění. To jsou všechno prvky yaoi mangy tak, jak si je v průběhu mnoha desetiletí postupně japonské dívky a ženy vynutily, nebo lépe řečeno, takto byla určena pravidla, která se Japonkám líbí. Nemá cenu se divit, proč ve filmu po znásilnění ani nenásleduje odsouzení druhých. Jediné, co mi trošku vadilo bylo to, že Yuuki (i po devíti letech stále roztomilý herec Takasaki Shota), koncertní mistr, neuměl ve skutečnosti hrát na housle ani omylem.

The best possible casting choice

When you make an adaptation like this, you need to be delicate. It's dangerous to transform certain things and I was scared, but they managed it: this is a wonderful adaptation!

Firstly, it is not simply a romance story. In fact, it's not a romance story: it's about finding self-love in someone else who is as empty as you are.

There is power in the performance of the two protagonists, but there is also power in the direction, which was careful at the right time and ambitious in several beautiful and unique moments.

It's one of the best dramas of its gender made in Japan this year. I was absolutely happy with all the fidelity to the manga and the precision of knowing what should be adapted.

Just: beautiful!

So a little "different" movie compared to tons of others. Light, gentle and touching, sad ... Describing human destinies, the weight of life, desire. The music is pleasant, often in perfect harmony with the film images, I was also interested in the processing, as well as the moving story of the cousin - the character was played by Austin (Po Hung) Lin, who as one of the two main actors is not listed in the Details. The film, although not completely new, can still appeal to many viewers.


Tak trošku "jiný" film oproti tunám ostatních. Lehký, jemný i dojemný, smutný ... Popisující lidské osudy, tíhu žití, touhu. Hudba příjemná, mnohdy dokonale ladící s filmovými obrazy, zpracování mě rovněž zaujalo, rovněž tak pohnutý příběh bratrance - postavu hrál Austin (Po Hung) Lin, který jako jeden ze dvou hlavních herců není v Podrobnostech uveden. Snímek, i když není zcela nový, stále může mnohé diváky oslovit.

Feel good modern drama

Flight to you is all a story about flights,pilots,air hostess,ground departments,mechanical engineering and others.Though we travel frequently in flights,I must say I have known everything about flights and their crew in detail after watching this.From training pilots and air hostess to landing and taking off,handling passengers,critical situations and also the health problems of crew involved,all were neatly written.The flow of the drama was good.
This is the first time I have known that even flight crew also participate in disaster rescue operations.Those episodes were also good.
Now,coming to actors,Gu Nanting portrayed by Wang Kai has become one of my favourites.Wang Kai was one of those actors who coul show his emotions only through his eyes I am really impressed and also became his fan.Yiu are an exceptional actor?.
Tan songyun and other actors acted well.
The production values were good, Costumes and locations fitted the story.
Regarding ost,Thinking with you has become my favourite song.I listen to it daily.
Finally,this is a great dramawith beautiful emotions attached to it.I definitely recommend you to watch it.In the air,there is always a story waiting for us to watch?✈️??

The script was transparent from the first shot, the processing just average (one time the beauty Brendalynne had a purse on her stomach, from another angle of the shot on her side, then again on her stomach, etc.). I don't need to be physically between two young men at all costs, but she would be a bonus to the sometimes "strangely" flowing story. Now what saved the series in my evaluation: that "something" (loneliness, desire, to love another being) could be felt in the later works, the young actors themselves, their effort, the biggest positive character was Edward and I value the musical side of this small and modest pinoy piece.



Scénář byl průhledný od prvního záběru, zpracování jen průměr (jednou měla kráska Brendalynne kabelku na břichu, z jiného úhlu záběru na boku, pak zase na břichu atd.). Nemusím mít fyzično mezi dvěma mladíky za každou cenu, ale k někdy "divně" proudícímu příběhu by zde byla bonusem. Teď co seriál u mého hodnocení zachránilo: to "něco" (samota, touha, milovat jinou bytost) tam v pozdějších dílech bylo cítit, samotní mladí herci, jejich snaha, největší pozitivní postavou byl Edward a nejvíce si cením hudební stránky tohoto malého a skromného pinoy dílka.

This Korean mini-project of an intimate conversation between two young men is so simple ... in the processing, in the story itself, that I'm surprised how much I liked it. It has the famous "something" in it, which I was told thanks to the creators and actors.


Tento korejský miniprojekt intimní konverzace mezi dvěma mladými muži je tak jednoduchý ... zpracováním, příběhem samotným, že se až divím, jak moc se mi líbil. Má v sobě to pověstné "něco", co mi bylo sděleno zásluhou tvůrců a herců.

Nice detective drama

This mystery drama,which is only 24 episodes has really surprised me.The story is very well paced.All the scenes and incidents were well written and they were connected to the next incidents, since,in detective dramas,connectivity between incidents is most important.
The main leads acted well.The locations, costumes,CGI were good.The fights were choreographed well.Both the love stories were good ,though the second lead love was not a success.The end twist surprised me.
I would highly recommend this drama.Go for it.It is worth our time.

The fact that three of the four main roles were taken by musclemen from the gym made the series a little whiny for my taste. Also, the individual scenes that were intertwined only in SO-a's mind with reality were difficult to perceive and rather confusing. I rate it as average, when there was such a small surprise at the end and maybe watching the uncut version would be more pleasant ...


Na to, že ze čtyř hlavních rolí obsadili tři z nich svalovci z posilovny, byl seriál na můj vkus až mírně ukňučený. Rovněž jednotlivé scény, které se prolínaly pouze v mysli SO-a se skutečností, byly těžko vnímatelné a přinesly spíše nepřehlednost. Hodnotím průměrem, kdy na konci bylo takové malé překvapení a možná sledovat nesestříhanou verzi by bylo příjemnější ...

Filipinos are excellent in the field of "lockdown". Really, very tasteful in every way. Music, good choice of actors (in the beginning I was a little worried about Tom, but they were in vain), processing. I recommend it to those who have already seen this type of Pinoy production and liked it.


Filipínci jsou na obor "lockdown" výborní. Opravdu, po všech stránkách velmi vkusné. Hudba, dobrý výběr herců (ze začátku jsem měl trošku obavy z Toma, ale byly plané), zpracování. Doporučuji těm, co už tento typ pinoy produkce viděli a líbil se jim.

The story was simple and I won't fault him for why it was this way and not that way. The short appealed to me as an actor, the music was also solid and I didn't mind anything there. Just one meeting, true, from life ... Better average.

Příběh byl jednoduchý a nebudu mu vyčítat, proč to bylo tak a ne onak. Herecky mě kraťas oslovil, rovněž tak hudba byla solidní a nic mi tam nevadilo. Prostě jedno setkání, pravdivé, ze života ... Lepší průměr.

Excellent drama seen in recent times

Firstly,the female lead,Ji yunhe,has a very strong personality and she is a very individual, daring and confident woman.Thats what I liked much abou this drama.
The storyline was good.No unnecessary plots and scenes are there.the costumes,CGI,music were good.All the actors acted very well.
Ren jialun as Chang Yi is very good.
Dilreba as Ji yunhe was excellent.
Cristy Guo as Fairy Shunde could be as disgusting as she is.
And all the others characters and actors portrayed excellentlly!
The flow and pace were good.Emotions were well crafted and also portrayed.
Season 1 ended with Chang Yi saving Ji yunhe.
Already watched season 2 also.
Overall I can say,Ji yunhe is a very inspiring woman.I really liked her.??
