The Gaze

unfortunately, i guess i will have to drop, i find myself pushing myself to watch so thats a sign that im not much interested in whats happening, i think the ml Zhai Qiu Yu is extremely annoying (im talking about the character behaviors obviously), overall i think its an execution problem, i feel bored? im sure it could have been made in a way that can be more interesting,
i find myself liking the second couple more, but i dont feel like anything is captivating me enough
but anyway i wish success for every cbl as they work hard to make them in the conditions that they are in ^^
note: i heard that its Jinx manhwa live action without the acknowledge, im not sure how much true it is as i didnt check the manhwa but if its true then i hope they give credit to it

Literally the live action of the webtoon JINX minus the NC

I am not sure why we don't see credits to Jinx but this is literally Jinx to the core. They have switched up the sport probably cz they had a hard time finding a lead as buff as JK to cast but they've kept the eyebrows. They've switched the grandma to brother. Potato is now a photographer and the actor is an artist. The plot remains the same but cz they've removed NCs they've had to make some minor changes.

The NCs are barely there so JK doesn't seem as bad as the webtoon he seems like a normal tsundre ML who is unable to express his feeling🤭🤭 which is kinda cute. The only reason i am giving this an 8 is cz i love the webtoon a lot especially the boxing and the granny... so the change kinda makes me uncomfortable. Overall it's a good drama but the acting needs a little work in some places

It's basically Jinx manhwa live action without the acknowledge

Honestly, I've got some moral issues here...

This series isn't just similar with Jinx.. it's literally the same. The are only 3 differencesn

1. Joo Jaekyung is tennis player
2. Kim Dam took the job offer for his brother
3. There is no 🍇 (yet) and I don't think it will be

True, the story is much less toxic, it's technically a green flag version of Jinx, but it's still pretty much the same. I saw only 2 episodes and I really do wish I was wrong, but these two episodes are exactly the same as first chapters of Jinx. The exact same scenes in the exact same order with almost the exact same lines.

It makes me sad, because the actors have perfect chemistry and the story is capturing, but as someone who has read Jinx since there were only 8 chapters (100th chapter was released today), I just can't overlook this fact no matter how much I want to...

So I really so wish it'll change in next episodes...
(I will delete or edit this review if they prove me wrong.)

A pretty decent series overall, although the relationship was definitely on the toxic side.
It had some interesting moments, but the dynamic between the characters wasn’t always easy to watch. 😅

Very cliché but i love petty angst

This series is lowkey giving Jinx in its first episode, just with a different sport. But after that, you'll realize it's actually very different from Jinx.
Honestly, there's not that much special about the storyline, but I'll be honest... I got hooked. Hahahaha. Why? Because the story is cliché, but it's giving the classic Wattpad stories we read 15 years ago. The angst is cliché too, but sorry, that's exactly the kind of angst I'm weak for. HAHAHAHAHAHA.
The second thing I like is that the main lead took a long time to forgive the other. Yes! Let him suffer! Let him yearn!
I didn't like the ending, though. They could've given us more.
So overall, I wouldn't really say this is a great series. It just happens that I'm weak for this kind of angst. Hahahaha.

No proper ending , unhealthy dynamics

The ost is nice tho theres only a few to repeat...

The story starts of cute where the main lead cant underatand his feelings and misunderstand the love for wanting to control...

1 main thing i dont like is how both couples didnt officialise their feelings or relationship n just kinda went to it.

2. Theres a lot of unresolved drama like the 2nd male lead family issue. Youen seem to have some trauma that they didnt communicate. The sudden return of qiuyu master in the opponent team. There was no match after to show youen's massage n treatment help qiuyu win.. would have been nice to have a proper closure. In the end the brother still dont know their relationship... both relationships seems like a underground relationship..

3. The dynamic of qiuyu n youen is like a switch from 1 being "above" and instructing the other as a contract obligation and then switch to feeling bad and desperate trying to win him back and power switch over... there was no trust but alot of triggers and that caused more obstacles...

4. The whole show was either unnecessary fights or toxic relationships control...

5. The 2nd couple is healthyish with possessiveness but there was no officially asking out n then a whole ton of misunderstanding that the other dont want them..

Tbh i watched it cause of moments clips here and there but watching the whole show , i wont rewatch it...

The Toxic!

This is yet another one of those enticing BI series that initially pulls you in but then does nothing, and I do mean nothing, with the story. It drones on and on around the same topic. Toxicity. Yet, has the audacity to sugar-coat it with tear-jerking moments pretending to be examples of arcs to love. This series presents well as there is an arc to redemption. However, as is usual, the abuser tries his best to become the victim and the victim in essence becomes more like an abuser. These kinds of dichotomies must end. Abuse, bullying, and exploitation should have no value as being dominant in BLs. Yet here they are – living and thriving. Prettying them up and trying to make it acceptable and even throwing in heaps of absolution into the mix. It does not, however, even begin to diminish the pain that the real victim had to go through. This is yet another Chinese BL that projects gayness as full of toxicity, abuse, a milquetoast lackey always in need of some type of rescuing, and of course a lineage of tremendous pain and discomfort in order to receive the ultimate gift that the abuser will see the light and love you back. Plus, gays are obviously lousy kissers.

Pas terrible…

L'histoire possède un début entraînant, mais elle ne se maintient pas avec une intrigue fade et des personnages stoïques. Il n'y a tout simplement rien qui donne envie de croire aux romances. Le premier couple est ennuyeux, le second est divertissant puis tombe dans des scènes inutiles.

L'alchimie entre les personnages reste sur le bord du terrain. Les baisers ne sont pas cauchemardesques, mais ils manquent cruellement de charme. De même quant à l'ambiance factice, tandis que la plupart des questions en suspens restent sans réponse. En soit, il n’y a pas grand-chose à dire si ce n’est qu’il fait passer le temps. Cela dit, je ne suis pas certaine que ce soit un compliment à ce stade.

En bref, The Gaze est un énième BL chinois qui tombe dans l'oubli, faute de mieux.

comenzó bien, pero el final dejó mucho que desear para los espectadores

La serie tuvo un final abierto, porque dejó varias cositas inconclusas de la historia como el torneo, la lesión del codo de zhai Qiu Yu, la aparición del ex maestro, el problema de su madre , sin embargo al final nos dan a entender que se quedan los dos juntos y que Li Youen quiere regresar a ser el médico del equipo. Pero no se puede apreciar o visualizar en sí la reconciliación de ambos.
Conclusión ambos se quedan juntos.
Por otra parte la segunda pareja desde el capítulo 8 su relación se desarrolló sin malentendidos y podríamos apreciar de manera indiscreta los celos del artista por su fotógrafo, además ellos, resolvían sus conflictos mediante el diálogo. No como la primera pareja principal, especialmente, por el mal carácter de zhai Qiu Yu, que no resolvían sus conflictos mediante un comunicación estable.
