The motive, the idea of the story is good, but in my opinion the execution is worse. It just didn't pull me into the micro-story, I felt like the really good-looking actors (Jaime, Winston and Heart) were just reciting the text, and the close-ups of their facial expressions (desire, lust, indecision) didn't save it either. So to speak, emptiness, nothingness took me from its clutches. In my opinion, a lot of unused potential.

When the series started, I thought I was going to blast the antagonist (lovely actress Ramona Vega) with a mouthful of how overplayed it all was. The trio was "beautified" by the creature monkey Jordan (Gio Emprese), whom I know from the series My Day, where he played Sky's nanny-maid-housekeeper Jelai. What's more, my rating was at least partly saved by the music.



Motiv, nápad příběhu dobrý, ale dle mě horší provedení. Prostě mě to nevtáhlo dovnitř toho mikropříběhu, měl jsem pocit, jakoby opravdu hezcí herci (Jaime, Winston i Heart) jen odříkávali text, a nezachránily to ani detailní pohledy na výrazy jejichnž tváří (touha, chtíč, nerozhodnost). Takříkajíc vzala mě to svých spár prázdnota, nicota. Dle mě hodně nevyužitý potenciál.

Když seriál začal, myslel jsem, že půjdu tu protivu s plnou hubou (sličná herečka Ramona Vega) odstřelit, jak to bylo všechno přehrané. Trio "zkrášlila" ještě kreaturní opička Jordan (Gio Emprese), kterého znám ze seriálu My Day, kde hrál Sky-ovu chůvu-služku-hospodyni Jelai. Ještě že mé hodnocení alespoň částečně zachránila hudba.

A very nice Korean series, which made me want to watch a higher rating on the IMDb and ČSFD heterac servers than here (unfortunately). An above-average work in all aspects, where the actor Jang Eui Soo in the role of Gook appealed to me the most. When the overall good impression prevails, the viewer is willing to overlook even small things that would probably be filmed differently in Europe. I recommend including the series To My Star, which was filmed by the same director.


Moc hezký korejský seriál, k jehož zhlédnutí mě přimělo vyšší hodnocení na heteráckých serverech IMDb a ČSFD, než tady (bohužel). Po všech stránkách nadprůměrné dílo, kde nejvíce mě oslovil herec Jang Eui Soo v roli Gooka. Když převáží celkový dobrý dojem, je divák ochoten přehlédnout i drobnosti, které by se třeba v Evropě natočily asi jinak. Doporučuji včetně série To My Star, kterou natočila stejná režisérka.

Phun and Noh from Love Sick and are joined by new couples Pin and Son (in Love by Chance Ae and Pete) and Two a Wish (in Love by Chance Tin and Can). Well-known music and only three parts of unequal length from 14-40 min and not as stated by IMDb 3x30 min.

Those who have seen the series Love Sick and Love by Chance (both seasons) might think that here the destinies of the couples are their continuation. It is not so. How do young men cope with small clouds in the relationships of individual couples? The most changed (I'll call them names from previous series) is Tin, who finally shows his acting skills in the role of the smiling Two (so far we only knew him as sullen, domineering, "puffed up" and hurt Tin), Can has changed primarily physically ( pink hair), Ae showed that he has matured as an actor, and the creators finally combed the affine from Pete's forehead so that the smile of a freshly plucked mouse or a sun on the dung would remain. As for intimacy, there were few of them, less than in the original series, and the audience will probably evaluate it differently and will be divided into those who already know the actors and those who are seeing them for the first time.


Phun a Noh ze seriálu Love Sick a k nim se přidávají nové dvojice Pin a Son (v seriálu Love by Chance Ae a Pete) a Two a Wish (v seriálu Love by Chance Tin a Can). Známá hudba a jen tři díly nestejné délky od 14-40 min a ne jak uvádí IMDb 3x30min.

Ti, kteří viděli seriály Love Sick a Love by Chance (vždy obě sezóny) by se mohli domnívat, že zde jsou osudy dvojic jejich pokračováním. Není tomu tak. Jak si poradí mladí muži s drobnými mráčky ve vztazích jednotlivých párů? Nejvíce se změnil (budu je nazývat jmény z předešlých seriálů) Tin, který konečně ukazuje svoje herectví v roli usměvavého Two-a (zatím jsme jej znali jen jako zasmušilého, panovačného, "nafoukaného" a ublíženého Tina), Can se změnil především fyzicky (růžové vlasy), Ae ukázal, že herecky vyspěl a Petemu konečně tvůrci odčesali tu afinku z čela, aby mu úsměv čerstvě vyorané myšky nebo sluníčka na hnoji zůstal dál. Co se týká intimností, tak jich bylo poskrovnu, méně jak v původních seriálech a hodnotit budou možná diváci rozdílně a budou se dělit na ty, co už herce znají a ty, kteří je vidí poprvé.

A Korean series from a sports environment with excellent skits by Ugly Duckling, which was also produced as a feature film (we also have it here with a skit by monvi-ho), will surely conjure up a good mood for every viewer. The story was conceived in a comedic way, and Sang Ha imposed himself and pandered to Jin Won too much for my taste, and I was disturbed by the horrible roaring pianos in some scenes. On the contrary, pleasant songs colored other scenes, it should be highlighted that Hang was struggling with a difficult fate in life (he was literally fighting for survival), and at the same time he was still able to love, and the final kiss was just right (neither breathing fishes, nor anything exaggerated, what would again the viewer did not believe). A nice diversion.


Korejský seriál ze sportovního prostředí s výbornými sk tit od Škaredého Káčatka, který byl vyroben i jako celovečerní film (ten zde máme též s cz tit od monvi-ho), jistě každému divákovi vykouzlí dobrou náladu. Příběh byl pojat komediálně a Sang Ha se na můj vkus vnucoval a podlézal Jin Wonovi až moc a rušily mě v některých scénách ty příšerné řvavé klavíry. Naopak příjemné písně dobarvily jiné scény, vyzdvihnout je třeba to, že Hang bojoval s těžkým životním osudem (doslova bojoval o přežití), a přitom dokázal ještě i milovat a závěrečný polibek byl tak akorát (ani nedýchající štítivé ryby, ani nic přehnaného, čemu by zase divák nevěřil). Příjemné zpestření.

The longer Thai series about love woes between young people from several faculties of the University of Bangkok is, in my opinion, more or less successful, if I keep in mind that the creators stuck to the book, rather fairy-tale model and that it expresses the most beautiful feeling in the world, regardless of sexual orientation. Hence the rating from me as it is.

Instead of praise, I will underline a few of my observations, which did not noticeably affect my evaluation. University environment again. One of the main characters of Solo (played by the twenty-seven-year-old Thai singer and actor Supanut) rides in a lighthouse that is just a dream of the creators themselves. Solo-Gui duo act for a long time as if they were sleepwalking, I understand that it was supposed to be like that and not that it is a flaw in their acting. But I was bothered by the overall tightness. The second duo Kao-Phuri didn't even have a kiss after hours of watching, but only forehead to forehead, there was neither sight nor hearing of any intimacies of students who are already in their twenties. I don't need to see it, but that's what it sounded like overall.


Delší thajský seriál o strastech s láskou mezi mladíky z několika fakult univerzity v Bangkoku je dle mě víceméně povedený, pokud mám na paměti, že se tvůrci drželi knižní, poněkud pohádkové předlohy a že vyjadřuje nekrásnější cit na světě bez ohledu na sexuální orientaci. Proto ode mě hodnocení takové, jaké je.

Místo pochval zde podtrhnu pár mých postřehů, které ale znatelně neovlivnily mé hodnocení. Zase vyskoškolské prostředí. Jedna z hlavních postav Solo (hraje ji dvacetisedmiletý thajský zpěvák a herec Supanut) jezdí ve fáru, které je pouhým snem i tvůrců samotných. Duo Solo-Gui dlouhou dobu hrají, jako kdyby byli náměsíční, chápu, že to tak mělo být a ne, že je to vada jejich herectví. Vadila mi ale celková upjatost. Druhé duo Kao-Phuri si vlastně nedalo po hodinách sledování ani pusinku, ale jen čelíčko na čelíčko, o nějakých intimnostech studentů, kterým už je dávno přes dvacet, nebylo ani vidu, ani slechu. Nepotřebuji to vidět, ale celkově to tak vyznělo.

Cute, Funny, And Fun With One Secure-Attachment Lead.

jpny01's review says things well. I'll add:
GENERAL SPOILERS included below.

I liked how Naoya was comfortable with his sexuality; it was never brought up, it just... was. His actions were consistently green flags and he had a very secure attachment style. After the first episode, he was also good at asking or waiting for consent for physical intimacy (unfortunately, the writers kept him and us waiting).

I loved how Kota told Naoya the truth fairly early on and by his own choice. It wasn't by forced circumstance; he did so because he genuinely felt bad and thought that it was the right thing to do. That is so rare and I was so glad the writers didn't follow the usual clichés with that plotline.

The writers did, however, use the inane cliche of one of the romantic partners resisting affection because it made them feel awkward all the way the to the end. At least it wasn't disgust, but still, that made it drop a full star for me because their relationship arc didn't feel truly satisfying. Even just cuddling with smiles at the end would have been more heart-warming than the peck on the cheek followed by a tickle fight.

The series made me laugh outloud a lot, the actors were good, both leads had good comedic sense, especially the one playing Kota, they had good chemistry, there were good messages without being preachy, and the whole thing was engaging and cute and fun. I can see rewatching this again at some point.

I would have given a 10/10 through Ep 6, then the rehashing of the same internal questions and conflicts in Ep 7& 8 lowered my rating to a 9/10. Though I was glad to see Kota and Naoya talking things out, it didn't actually make their relationship progress at all, which was weird to me. So that ffrustration and the relatively unsatisfying, clichéd ending (more bromance than romance) brought my rating down to 8/10.

Despite the fact that the quality of this series was not perfect, and sometimes (not always) it seemed almost amateurish, the end of the story still intrigued me, touched me. I appreciate the ideas expressed, especially in the last part, and in that, this part has a benefit for possible viewers all over the world and in China itself, where gays are not a bed of roses, especially when it comes to censorship and the neglect of homosexuality in the media.

The absolutely cute Han Jin Cheng (Ying Jiaming's character) made it to the acting average for everyone with a very good performance, which was very believable.


I přesto, že tato série neměla kvality zpracování dokonalé a někdy (ne vždy) to působilo skoro amatérsky, přesto mě konec příběhu zaujal, zasáhl. Oceňuji vyřčené myšlenky, především v posledním díle, a v tom má toto dílko přínos pro případné diváky na celém světě a v Číně samotné, kde nemají gayové na růžích ustláno, především co se cenzorských zásahů týká a přehlížení homosexuality ve sdělovacích prostředcích.

Do hereckého průměru to za všechny dotáhl velmi dobrým výkonem naprosto roztomilý Han Jin Cheng (postava Ying Jiaminga), který byl hodně uvěřitelný.

A solid Taiwanese picture where all four mini-parts are in one file.
In addition, the plot is still fragmented into individual chapters between the two protagonists. Don't be alarmed at the beginning that "Senior" is going so fast, you will learn why in the process. Likeable actors, the love of two young men as the central motive, a good impression.

Solidní taiwanský snímek, kdy jsou všechny čtyři minidíly v jednom souboru.
Navíc děj je mezi oběma protagonisty ještě rozkouskován do jednotlivých kapitol. Nelekněte se začátku, že jde na to "Senior" tak zhurta, v průběhu se dozvíte, proč. Herci sympatičtí, láska dvou mladých mužů jako ústřední motiv, dobrý dojem.

The Heart-thumping Sizzling Chemistry !

I've written a cliche headline, but the drama deserves it. I was shocked watching so many INTIMATE scenes in a BL!! The story is average and full of miscommunication, but I liked this one; those weren't annoying or frustrating. Even the misunderstandings had a sweet taste. The acting was also good, and damn... THE CHEMISTRY between the leads is EVERYTHING. Maybe it's been a while since I had watched a bl, but I have never seen so many beautiful intimated scenes in a bl!
I usually don't rewatch any drama, but this one... I might watch it every month.
For an average storyline, the rating might look more, but their chemistry deserves it.
So, if you're looking for a BL with a simple story, bittersweet miscommunication, and lots of kisses with thumping scenes, watch it!

Light-hearted sweet romance drama

This is Light-hearted sweet romance drama.
I like child actor who is so cute and sweet.

main actor miles Wei is always good looking and extremely handsome with glasses and formal outfits / long coats. That is main reason of watching this drama.
Main leads are really good in chemistry. The actor miles Wei is always good in acting, especially his eyes’ expressions are always perfect. His eyes look are kind and Humble but he can act really well in different rich boss characters (for example: hello I’m at service and this drama). Although both characters are rich boss, there are different personalities in each character.

Overall, it is quite enjoyable and sweet romantic drama.

A very powerful story of two men from high school to their forties, extremely deep, searching for themselves and their love despite the traditional values of Japanese society. This shorter series is well above average in all evaluation criteria and will leave an indelible mark on the soul of the receptive viewer...

Hook ups, throw ups, fuck ups, hiccups...

Only friends does not really have much of a story at least not the first few episodes as there will be people touching each others genitals in pretty much every single scene making me wonder 1. did they use protection and 2. how durable are the skin and muscles of youth down below...

Pretty much every single one of the men in this is despicable at one point or another with the exception of the bartender who just had to little screen time to be so...

Only friends can apparently do a whole lot of shit making me wonder if these people really are friends forget the only, I would settle for acquaintances at some point, s this is probably the loneliest bunch of friends I have seen in all of Dramalad.

The main characters;
Sand- Smile to die for is shown to be this kind of saint but deep down we kind of know this guy is disloyal and can easiely throw his friend under a buss... He is however a good influence on some and has the best t-shirts.

Ray- Boy is crying for help so loudly... he does give up some psychopath vibes and I keep on going between wanna hug the guy and wanting to put him behind bars...

Top- Man is good looking, the ultimate bad boy you want to tame and make go good... but for the life of me I do not get what he sees in Mew... badboy desrservs better

Mew- I really do not get the guy, selfish annoying, fake... Psychopath... yes he has a nice smile but that is where the guys character ends. Why can't this actor get better parts?

Boston- Dude is crying for help... I hate him I love him I hate him again... I have had issues with Neos acting but honestly this time he nailed his character and did a great job.

Nick- One pretty huge mistake but after that I think Mark finally made my crush-list the most charming of the bunch...

Bowing- I have no words... dude needs to get some help...

Actually the whole bunch could use some help....

That said it was an entertaining watch, it completely lacked substance (unless you count saliva as substance), but it was indeed entertaining and filled a whole yers quota of watching people hook up!

I am meeting the director Hwang Da-Seul for the second time in a short time (the first time was the series Where Your Eyes Linger) and she did not disappoint me again. A beautiful, magical appetizer among BL series will captivate the viewer right from the first episode. It's just that everything is "done" completely differently than the usual scheme. The characters are perfectly written and even better acted, especially the excellent acting performance of the two main representatives in civilian age of 31 and 22 years stands out.

Actor Kang Seo Joon is in trouble because he beat up his best friend, also an actor, in one of the bars. But in reality it was different and Kang doesn't remember much because he was drunk, only his friend got into a fight with a bar guest and blamed it on Kang to hurt him in public opinion and climb the popularity ladder ahead of him. The owner of the agency Kim Pil Hyun, who represents Kang, has to quickly "clean up" him from his luxury apartment to one of his rental houses in the suburbs of Seoul due to intrusive journalists for a while, and pushes him to the young tenant, an introverted, modest and order-loving chef from a bistro Han Ji Woo, who is waiting for a roommate so he doesn't have to pay such a high rent himself.

It's rare for me to look at how much is left until the end, because I wish there were many more episodes ahead of me (I have the opposite tendency with most other BL series). No unnecessary detours and running the story into curls that only delay and lead nowhere, an excellent contrast of the silent and wall-building Han and the chatty Kang with an often magical smile, who always says what he thinks and most importantly - these two beings are hit by the arrow of the most beautiful feeling in the world, what anyone and anywhere could wish for. How will they deal with it when the circumstances of each of them are completely different and public opinion in South Korea is not in favor of such relationships, especially when one of them is a famous actor?
