I enjoyed the version with sk subtitles from ŠK and I must say that the series belongs to the narrow top of the best.
As Extasy writes, beautiful Thai girls also star in the series this time. The creators bet on the physical - two actors with beautiful athletic muscular figures (both now play the main roles in the new series Manner Of Death). It had a plot, school was almost suppressed, there were also more mature issues (stories), more mature actors (Bright, Kavitra). The creators were not afraid to expose the actors here and there. The mutual bond between Korn and Knock was felt, but I also felt a lot that the main actors were heterosexuals in every inch, especially the clumsy (in a good way) Korn, who could go from a spot with his character to being a gym trainer. Memorable characters of the tattooed Phubet, the scoundrel Pleng, the doctor-seduced Pharma and others. Overall an excellent experience.
It's just a pity that the series connected to this one - Bad Romance and Together With Me: The Next Chapter are not translated into Czech or SK for a wider audience, maybe it's because these series were only released with English hard sub.


Vychutnal jsem si verzi s sk titulky od ŠK a musím říci, že seriál patří do užší špičky těch nejlepších.
Jak píše Extasy, v seriálu hrají tentokráte i krásné thajské dívky. Tvůrci vsadili na fyzično - dva herce s krásnými vysportovanými svalnatými postavami (oba nyní hrají hlavní role v novém seriálu Manner Of Death). Mělo to děj, škola byla téměř potlačena, objevily se i dospější problémy (příběhy), dospělejší herci (Bright, Kavitra). Tvůrci se nebáli herce sem tam i obnažit. Vzájemné pouto mezi Kornem a Knockem bylo cítit, ale hodně jsem vnímal i to, že herci hlavních rolí byli heteráci každým coulem, především neohrabaný (v tom dobrém slova smyslu) Korn, který mohl jít z fleku se svou postavou jít dělat trenéra do posilovny. Zapamatovatelné postavy tetovaného Phubeta, mrchy Pleng, lékařem svedeného Pharma a další. Jako celek výborný zážitek.
Škoda jen, že série spojené s touto - Bad Romance a Together With Me:The Next Chapter nejsou přeloženy do cz nebo sk pro širší množinu diváků, možná je to tím, že tyto seriály vyšly jen s eng hard sub.

Why not take a nice mini-moment? Not sharing the feeling of beauty with a Singaporean and a Cambodian. After all, we are in this world in this body only once...
Perfectly chosen music. And Asians? I don't mind them at all, quite the opposite.
"You said this was the best summer of your life... but for me the summer never ended"

Proč si neudělat příjemnou minichvilku? Nesdílet pocit krásna se Singapurcem a Kambodžanem. Vždyť jsme na tomto světě v tomto těle jen jednou ...
Bezva zvolená hudba. A Asiaté? Ti mě už vůbec nevadí, ba právě naopak.
"Řekl jsi, že toto je nejlepší léto tvého života ... ale pro mě to léto nikdy neskončilo"

I wasn't interested in the series until the moment "it happened". Mechanicalness, planking, talking heads sleepwalking. That's how it affected me, even though I know what the creators wanted to say. Then a slight shock from the twist, which I did not expect and the rest does not need to be written by me, because both reviews below me, even if they are different, are partly right and I confess that I would not like to see another series with this theme from Thailand, because a series where what happened happens at the very end is a waste of time for me.


Do okamžiku, kdy se "to stalo" mě seriál nijak nezaujal. Strojenost, prkennost, mluvící hlavy náměsíčně chodící. Tak to na mě zapůsobilo, i když vím, co tím chtěli tvůrci říci. Posléze mírný šok ze zvratu, který jsem nečekal a zbytek netřeba ode mě psát, neboť obě recenze pode mnou, i když jsou odlišné, mají zčásti pravdu a přiznám se, že už další seriál s tímto námětem bych z Thajska nechtěl vidět, neboť čučet na seriál, kde se úplně na konci stane to, co se stalo, je pro mě ztráta času.

After starring in Together With Me, Max and Tul were given the opportunity to take on the lead roles in this genre-bending series. I think they've matured even more as actors, especially the manly Max (Tan), who also became a wonderful symphony, perhaps even because they finally "brushed" off his forehead (in addition, the battles in his performance were convincing, no "just like"), Tul (Bun) was cute as always, it just bothered me a little bit how the Thai hairdressers made him stiff with the combing, but that's beside the point.
The overall quality is very high, I appreciate that they were no longer the "little boys" from freshman year at university.
The story is a bit long and overcombined. The first major erotic rapprochement between Tan and Bun in the seventh volume is so convincing, wonderful, and at the same time there is no need for big erotic scenes, that I haven't seen anything like it for a long time ...
If I remember this series, it will not be the shooting games and the complexity of the plot, but the almost perfect main pair of young men will always come to mind as dominant, both acting and appearance ... so I leave this review with the words of Buna Tan: " you smell beautiful" ...

Po hlavních rolích v Together With Me dostali Max a Tul možnost se ujmout hlavních rolí tohoto žánrem zcela odlišného seriálu. Myslím, že herecky ještě více vyspěli, především mužný Max (Tan), ze kterého se navíc stal úžasný sympoš, možná už i tím, že mu konečně "odčesali" afinku z čela (navíc ty bitky v jeho provedení byly přesvědčivé, žádné "jen jako"), Tul (Bun) byl roztomilý jako vždycky, jen mi trošku vadilo to, jak ho ti thajští vlásenkáři prznili tím česáním, ale to je nepodstatné.
Celková kvalita velice vysoká, oceňuji, že už to nebyli "malí chlapečci" z prváku na univerzitě.
Příběh trošku zdlouhavý a překombinovaný. První větší erotické sblížení Tana a Buna v sedmém díle je tak přesvědčivé, nádherné, a přitom nemusí dojít k velkým erotickým scénám, že jsem podobné dlouho neviděl ...
Pokud si vzpomenu na tento seriál, tak to nebudou střílečky a komplikovanost děje, ale vždy se mi jako dominantí vybaví téměř dokonalá hlavní dvojice mladých mužů, a to jak herecky, tak zjevem ... takže se loučím s touto recenzí slovy Buna Tanovi: "voníš nádherně" ...

So far I'm liking this one

First Impressions as of ep 15, I'm enjoying the romance, the story build-up, and the chemistry of the two leads so far. also there's a piece of comedy so it's not boring.....Nothing feels too rushed or too forced when it comes to the romance...... And it is more female-centric to Su Ying's character and her career vs focusing on Qin Yunsheng, which is a little bit more refreshing as it does not focus on the heavy medical aspect....but don't get me wrong haha I like medical stuff too but sometimes it's one of the reasons for some dramas that includes medical stuff to be a bit draggy.......I know Zhong Chu Xi has another drama that just came out with Gong Jun, so I'm curious to see how her chemistry is with him. maybe I'll start watching that one later haha but definitely hope this one continues to be good till the end......

A grim illustration of how corruption slowly destroys a civilisation

Once upon a time, they were young and innocent… but a corrupt world can ruin the sweetest souls…

At the start of the show, our three main characters give a toast and exclaim to each other: “It’s really difficult to be a decent man!”

This statement gets more true as the show progresses.

Ripe Town is set during the 37th year of the Wan Li Period of the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Wanli is said to be the cause of the dynasty’s downfall.

His neglect of government affairs caused corruption to fester in the kingdom and had a trickle down effect. Ripe Town is a great illustration of how this corruption affected the lives of the common people.

When Ripe Town dropped, there was barely any buzz about the show. There weren’t any high-traffic idol actors, and the story didn’t seem enticing. A historical serial killer drama? Hmm. I wasn’t in the mood for something that dark.

Then, I saw the trailer, and my jaw dropped at how athmospheric and moody it all was, so different from the day-glo plasticky beauty of so many cdramas these days, that I couldn’t help but watch it. I was further motivated by the fact that it was only 12 episodes long.

In the end, I binged through the entire series in two days and I have to say it was totally worth it!
What I liked about the drama:

1. The high production quality

What a pleasure it is to watch Ripe Town. There is no overuse of filters (actually none that I can see), no over-bright lighting, and the costumes are fitting for the time.

In fact, I really like that people’s outfits have literal patches of fabric used to repair the outfit, which often than naught, appeared worn out on our characters. Talk about determination to portray things authentically. The lower classes rarely have pretty robes to wear and often mend their clothes over and over again.

2. The acting

It is👌 I enjoyed the heck out of the acting. Loved the actors who played Lu Zhi and Judge Song.
The tight plot

Ripe Town is a rare drama, not just because of its high production quality but that it is succinct. It is a 12-episode drama in an entertainment landscape littered with 40-episode, bloated dramas. (To think that a drama could get up to 80+ episodes in the “old days” before the government decided that 40 episodes was the maximum number of episodes allowed.)

Every minute of Ripe Town demands your complete attention. You can’t fast forward to skip ahead because you’ll probably miss an essential clue in a dialogue or a scene.

3. The complex characters

Of all the characters in Ripe Town, it is the honorouble Judge Song that catches my attention. Not just because of the excellent actor who played him, but because he has a streak of nobility and goodness that seemed incongruous at a time when law officers “partner” with criminal gangs to maintain “peace”.

But in this world, is anyone free of the stain of immorality?

4, The authentic mood

Ripe Town is filmed in an ancient town where the walls were covered in moss or patched over or grey with dirt, as if symbolising the decay in the society. It magnifies the feeling of decay pervasive not only in the crumbling society, but in the justice system.

It is like watching a historical Chinese version of a moody, serial killer drama, and they make sure that everything, from the sets, the color palette and the lighting, reflect that.

5. What I didn’t like, and thoughts about the ending (slight spoilers)

Before I finally watched the ending, I was a tad worried about how the show will end because someone on Mydramalist complained how disappointed they were with the ending.

But after watching it, I thought it was really appropriate and fitting. All in all it was a very satisfying ending.

The thought that came to my head was: I was sad for everyone, including the bad guys. Because they were the product of their brutal environment, and one must do what one must to survive. In this upside-down world, being honourable and just is a foolish way to live; the smart ones use deceit and subterfuge to get ahead.

Ripe Town also kept me guessing till the very end. I could not guess the identity of the killer until the very end and did not expect that person to be the big bad at all! The actor who played the person was excellent too. Totally threw me off.

The only thing I wasn’t so pleased about was the twist at the end where (warning: spoilers!) the Big Bad turned out to be someone unexpected.

It would’ve been far, far, far more satisfying if the writers had not made the unexpected twist. In fact, I thought it was a rather cheap twist. It was a flaw in an otherwise almost perfect drama.

Still, I was SO worried that Ripe Town would go the open-ended route that is so trendy these days with so many CDramas that I didn’t mind that extra twist. I was like, phew, at least we get some kind of definite closure!

Ripe Town really highlights how corruption was the downfall of the Ming dynasty, and what enabled the Manchus to take over. With the rot infecting the justice system, the entire foundation of the empire was going to crumble sooner or later as good men are sacrificed on the altars of deceit and vengeance, to the detriment of the entire civilisation.

All in all, a very worthwhile investment of your time. The very high Douban rating of 8.6* seems to agree with me!

The anti-hero female lead who we all love

It is a story about the stereotypical evil second female lead whose life is ruined but is given a second chance to redeem herself or more like save her family. Her second life revolves three male leads. However, there is also a big plot twist which I’m not gonna spoil as it’s the most important part of the story.

Our female lead, Hua Qian, is definitely the best part of this drama. She’s become smart, strong, cool, calm and badass due to the pain she suffered in her first life. She’s not the crybaby female lead who needs a prince in shining amour to save her. As her second journey goes, we can’t help but guess which of the three main leads is in her heart.

Zhong Xi Wu who’s in this life falls in love with her due to her changed personality (in previous life he fell for Mu Yao, the 2nd females lead there are more story to this but I won’t spoil). He’s the lord with controlling personality and willing to protecting female lead at all cost especially without her consent sometimes but he’s sincere and willing to look pass everything. Wheareas, Zhong Ye Lan, who she stole from Mu Yao, is now married with her. He is quite a coward and it’s hard to say whether he loves our female lead or not; however, he actually did something right for her near the end. Hua Rong Zhou is our female lead’s guard who has been loving her since he first saw her. He’s quite stubborn, cross the line sometimes but is willing to sacrifice his life for her. Each male leads have huge flaws which I cannot ship her with anyone.

The bond between female lead and her family is also worth mentioning. All of them started as the selfish family to sacrifice her lives for each other. Made me cry a lot.

All the actors and actresses did a fantastic job there. But I have to applaud Zhou Ye specifically. This drama really shows her range of acting and I was really impressed by her. And I love Ai Mi, she’s great as always. I’m glad to see the sly character of Li Yun Rui again.

I love the closing song 来(Come) by 陆虎(Lu Hu). It made me imagine and look forward the happy life that our Hua Qian deserves after those hardships at the end of every episodes.

I will definitely watch an again for the details that I miss during the early episodes. The twist was foreshadow in many episodes and in the title too. Whiling watching this. all I want is our female lead to be happy and I’m sure you’ll too as she suffers so much.

Better than most reincarnated drama

Out of the numerous reincarnation storylines I've watched, this particular cdrama nailed it. The exploration of the past and present allowed for the main character, Hua Qian (brilliantly portrayed by Zhou Ye), to undergo significant character development. Hua Qian transforms from a character who has committed evil deeds to someone who rectifies her mistakes upon reincarnation. The portrayal of the internal familial dynamic is heartwarming and stands out as one of the most touching scenes I've seen in recent cdrama.

The characters are beautifully balanced and executed, with a focus on the characters who are relevant to the storyline. I enjoyed all the supporting characters, mainly the females. Except, Hua Rong Zhou a supporting character played by Zhang Yi Jie, who stood out as a character who felt out of place. His presence was disjointed, transitioning from a beggar to an obedient guard to a prodigious martial artist, a short journey of his own cultivation giving no meaning to anyone nor the plot. Including the romance, it was one of the weakest part of the series. It was more placed on the shelf for the last episodes. Other than that, the show is worth watching.

A Historical With A Funny Tone

Rowoon (“Destined with You”) is back onscreen with his next romcom, which happens to be a historical. Starring alongside Cho Yi Hyun, “The Matchmakers” is about two widowers, Shim Jung Woo & Jung Soon Deok, who are pressured by the royal family into marrying three maidens representing the spinster problem in the Joseon dynasty. Both of them have varied personalities, with Jung Soon Deok leading a double life that is closely guarded. The drama relies a lot on the customs and traditions that tied down widows in ancient Joseon. Now, widowers weren’t specifically affected, but Shim Jung Woo suffers because he has a special identity. You can’t question the absurdity of their situations because we are talking about times that were orthodox and fanatical. The first two episodes do a good job of introducing the main characters, as we get a glimpse into their lives. Soon Deok leads an exciting, satisfying one while Jung Wook’s is dull and unfulfilling.

COLOR RUSH 1:
The relationship of two people, friendship, falling in love, love, co-dependence, were presented delicately and in the angle of one of the mysterious views and it was a revival. In my opinion, it's by no means a below average "gray" BL series, but it's a little gem that intensified and made the colors in my soul shine through. The school was there, but it was in the background, only as a means to develop the plot. Also, the story was dedicated to both young people and did not run into unnecessary delays. Both main characters gave good performances, I was particularly impressed by the 20-year-old singer, model and actor Heo Hyun Jun in the role of Yeon's "probe" Yo Han. Rating: 8 8 10 10

COLOR RUSH 2:
It was a big disappointment for me that my "darling" - Hyun Jun - is no longer playing in the second series. I was hesitant to even watch. Fortunately, Se Hyun appeared there and with the help of this Korean symposium I watched, because the second main character Yeon Woo didn't really get under my nose with his bobbed hair and long Asian "claws". The story was very rushed and contrived, it kept reminding me that it was fictional and I also missed a larger percentage of the BL relationship between the main characters, which was caught up in the last episode with the "dead fish" kiss. Rating: 4 6 8 6

IN THE FINAL ASSESSMENT, I WILL ASSESS ONLY THE FIRST SERIES, THEN DON'T EVEN LOOK AT THE SECOND SERIES.


COLOR RUSH 1:
Vztah dvou lidí, přátelství, zamilovanost, láska, spoluzávislost, byly podány jemně a v úhlu jednoho z mysteriozních pohledů a bylo oživením. Dle mě to není v žádném případě podprůměrný "šedý" BL seriál, ale je to malý klenot, který zintenzivnil a prozářil barvy v mé duši. Škola tam sice byla, ale byla upozaděná, jen jako prostředek k rozvinutí děje. Také příběh se věnoval oběma mladíkům a neodbíhal do zbytečných zdržovaček. Oba hlavní hrdinové podali pěkné výkony, oslovil mě především dvacetiletý zpěvák, model a herec Heo Hyun Jun v roli Yeonova "probeho" Yo Hana. Hodnocení: 8 8 10 10

COLOR RUSH 2:
Zklamáním bylo pro mě velkým, že v druhé sérii už nehraje můj "miláček" - Hyun Jun. Váhal jsem, zda se budu vůbec dívat. Naštěstí se tam objevil Se Hyun a za pomoci tohoto korejského sympoše jsem se dodíval, neboť druhý hlavní hrdina Yeon Woo mi pod nos moc nelezl se svými vlasy na prcinku a dlouhými asijskými "drápy". Příběh byl moc ukvapený a vyumělkovaný, stále mi to připomínalo, že to je smyšlené a chybělo mi tam i větší procento BL vztahu mezi hlavními hrdiny, které bylo dohnáno v posledním díle polibkem "mrtvých ryb". Hodnocení: 4 6 8 6

V KONEČNÉM HODNOCENÍ HODNOTÍM JEN PRVNÍ SÉRII, NA DVOJKU SE PAK UŽ ANI NEDÍVEJTE.

If it was supposed to be "appeasement to a conservative audience", the creators probably wouldn't have produced 7 series and more are on the way, while only in this series is the subject mentioned. I found it nicely comical, less overplayed as is common in Asia, light (even though it is about death) and underlined by the absolute symposia of Mai Ying Xiong. Originally, I wanted to give 8 points for the sound, but I deducted three points for the horribly loud songs that the creators put into the individual scenes. Not only were they loud like a merry-go-round, but they didn't fit the plot.


Kdyby se mělo jednat o "úlitbu konzervativnímu publiku", tak by asi tvůrci nevyprodukovali 7 sérií a další se chystají, přičemž jen v této sérii je zmiňovaný námět. Mě to přišlo fajn komické, méně přehrávané, jak je v Asii běžné, lehké (i když se jedná o smrt) a podtržené naprostým sympošem Mai Ying Xiongem. Původně jsem chtěl dát i za zvuk 8 bodů, ale celé tři jsem ubral za příšerně řvavé písničky, které tam tvůrci do jednotlivých scén narvali. Nejen, že byly hlasité jako na kolotoči, ale ani neodpovídaly ději.

In my opinion, not one of the seven series of the HIStory project so far deserves a below-average rating. This is the case with this series from 2017.
Ecstasy described it well - "confusion", and it accompanied me not only at the beginning, but practically the whole time, and when it started to fit together, it fit so many times that I had this imaginary story completely turned upside down, but in the end everything came together, as it should
Otherwise, I will correct that the two main characters were not just "boys from Taiwan". Jin Teng, he was the one who latched on to Yi Chen with such vigor that I was afraid that he would bite off half his head when kissing him, he is from Malaysia (actor Bernard He). Both actors, especially the Malaysian Bernard, were not at all afraid to convince the audience that kissing and physical contact are not a problem for them, unlike in many other films and series, when the actors "play" these scenes "shielding", aloof, from each other, like machines , sleepwalking ... and that's why I give the acting an eight.
In the evaluation, I deducted points from the story for the mentioned great confusion and for the sound, even though it was already much better than in the first series of My Hero (the music didn't scream as much here and maybe only one song didn't fit the story).

Ani jedna ze všech dosavadních sedm sérií projektu HIStory si dle mě nezaslouží mít podprůměrné hodnocení. Tak je tomu i u této série z roku 2017.
Extasy to dobře popsala -"zmatenost", a ta mě provázela nejen na začátku, ale prakticky po celou dobu, a když to do sebe začalo zapadat, tak to zapadalo naněkolikrát, že jsem měl tento imaginární příběh úplně převrácený, nakonec ale vše sedlo, jak mělo.
Jinak poopravím, že u těch dvou hlavních postav se nejednalo jen o "kluky z Taiwanu". Jin Teng, to byl ten, který se sápal na Yi Chena s takovou vervou, že při líbání jsem měl strach, jestli mu nevycucne či neukousne půl hlavy, pochází z Malajsie (herec Bernard He). Oba herci, především Malajsijec Bernard, se vůbec nebáli přesvědčit diváky, že jim líbání a tělesný kontakt nedělá žádné potíže, na rozdíl od mnohých jiných filmů a seriálů, kdy herci "hrají" tyto scény "štítivě", odtažitě, od sebe, jako stroje, náměsíčně ... a proto dávám za herecké výkony osmičku.
V hodnocení jsem ubral bodíky u příběhu za tu zmíněnou velkou zmatenost a za zvuk, i když byl už mnohem lepší jak u první série My Hero (zde už tolik hudba neřvala a snad jen jedna písnička mi nesedla k příběhu).

A simple story of how to wrap up the one for whom our hearts and souls burned.
Although this web series is short and the goal is clear, it didn't seem so bad to me. Above all, I perceived very nice accompanying music, which tastefully underscored the individual scenes (I don't mean the main song during the credits), nice faces (except for the overheated owner of the cafe, but no offense intended). I appreciate that none of the actors had that hideous affine helmet and you got a better sense of the shape of the face. I just missed the famous final kiss...


Jednoduchý příběh jak sbalit toho, pro koho nám zahořelo naše srdce a duše.
Přestože je tento web seriálek krátký a cíl jasný, tak mi zase až tak špatný nepřipadal. Především jsem vnímal velmi pěknou doprovodnou hudbu, která podkreslovala vkusně jednotlivé scény (nemyslím hlavní píseň u titulků), sympatické tváře (až na hodně přihřátého majitele kavárny, ale není míněno ve zlém). Oceňuji, že ani jeden z herců neměl tu příšernou afinkovou helmu a člověk lépe vnímal tvar obličeje. Jen ta pověstná závěrečná pusinka mi chyběla ...

A completely fresh Philippine pandemic series that will evoke pleasant experiences in the soul of many viewers. Often beaming smiles, good mood, lightness, but also the likeability and beauty of the individual actors, both the main couple Key-Chen and the others, for example the lovely Dev and all the other young gentlemen. On the one hand, the narrowness of the strict measures breathes on you, on the other hand, the characters are still optimistic and there is no NEGATIVITY in the entire series, which cannot be said about some reviews on this server.

I would highlight the benefit of this piece in the fact that the characters who are faced with adversity still find a way to handle everything, get around it and enjoy even the little things. Yes, the series isn't quite top-notch, but it deserves a high rating from me, as it has a rating of 8.3 from less than two thousand users on the main world server. Overall, I rate it a hair higher than another excellent Pinoy series Meet Me Outside, which we also have here (actor Kaloy Tingcungco appears in both series).


Naprosto svěží filipínský pandemický seriálek, který mnohému divákovi vykreslí v duši příjemné zážitky. Mnohdy rozzářené úsměvy, dobrá nálada, lehkost, ale také sympatičnost a krása jednotlivých herců, a to jak hlavní dvojice Key-Chen, tak i ostatních, např. sličná Dev a všichni další mladí pánové. Na jedné straně na Vás dýchne stísněnost přísných opatření, na druhé to, že postavy jsou stále optimistické a v celém seriálu není žádná NEGATIVITA, což se o některých recenzích na tomto serveru říci nedá.

Přínos tohoto dílka bych vyzdvihl v tom, že postavy, které se potýkají s nepřízní osudu si přesto najdou způsob, jak vše zvládnout, obejít a těšit se i z malých drobností. Ano, seriál není úplně top, že by mi spadla brada, ale vysoké hodnocení si ode mě zaslouží, vždyť na hlavním světovém serveru má hodnocení 8,3 od necelých dvou tisíc uživatelů. Hodnotím celkově ještě o chloupek výš, než další výborný pinoy seriál Meet Me Outside, který zde rovněž máme (herec Kaloy Tingcungco vystupuje v obou seriálech).

This Taiwanese series was just average. Yes, solid, but I wasn't that impressed with the story or the acting. The main pair of Kyang - Yi Fan seemed to me over time not to be the main one in the story and was pushed out by the pair of Soda - Noah. Also, the twists and turns of the main couple, from almost nothing to an instant declaration of love, the story did little to build the relationship between the pastry chef and the singer, the chemistry was almost non-existent and I was almost bored at some points. It lacked a spark that would still push me to immediately watch the next one. I found Soda the most natural of the characters as an actor, the girl Cora was refreshing. Who would think that only young people play, the age of the actors was quite high from 27 to 33 years old.


Tento taiwanský seriál byl pouze průměrný. Ano, solidní, ale až tolik mě nenadchl příběhem ani herectvím. Hlavní dvojice Kyang - Yi Fan mi postupem doby připadala, že není v příběhu tou hlavní a byla vytlačována dvojicí Soda - Noah. Také zvraty u hlavní dvojice, z téměř ničeho po okamžité vyznání lásky, příběh se budování vztahu mezi cukrářem a zpěvákem málo věnoval, chemie téměř neexistovala a já se v některých okamžicích skoro nudil. Chyběla jiskra, která by mě stále tlačila ihned k dalšímu sledování. Herecky nejpřirozenější z postav se mi zdál Soda, osvěžením byla dívka Cora. Kdo by si myslel, že hrají pouze mladíčci, tak věk herců byl poměrně vysoký od 27 po 33 let.
