They had good chemistry. The acting was also good enough. However, there were a lot of plot holes. At times it felt a bit frustrating and overdramatic. Some things were too predictable. It just wasn't well-written or well-executed. I did not enjoy when Mork groped Tee without his consent at one point. It was out of place, and I wished they had spoken more about it. He also forced him to watch porn. Weird. I also wish they would have spoken more about Mork's condition. Morn and Gord were cute, at least. The actors were just very young. Tee's mom was horrible. A hypocrite, she was. Mork's dad wasn't bad, but he said some rather insensitive things. The sudden serious approach they took in the middle of the series was dreadful. They didn't know how to pull it off. This was a very flawed series, in general, but I can't say I didn't enjoy it at times.

There were kisses.

The story continues in Our Skyy.

I don't know how to rate this. I don't know how to explain it. Also, unfortunately, I couldn't even see all of it because of the flashing lights. Some would call it artistic, but I just found it confusing. It wasn't for me, I guess.

This was definitely more than friendship. The entire part where Junya was drunk proved that. It was pretty obvious that Shintaro wanted to kiss Junya but retreated when Junya pulled back. The acting was good. The chemistry was good, but mostly in a platonic way. The message was nice, but the bury-your-gays trope is anything but desirable. Yes, Junya ended up a happier person, but it cost a queer person's life. Should I be satisfied? It depends on how you interpret it, I guess. Basically, it was an okay movie, but not due to romance.

I feel like this comment left by a user on YouTube sums it up about right: Two gay boys who had girlfriends pretended to be straight. The younger boy took the courage and confessed his love to the older boy. But the older boy was too cowardly to admit it and chickened out. So yeah. Don't waste your time.

I'm dropping this. I can't watch six more episodes. I don't think it's interesting or funny. The leads didn't have chemistry. Their relationship also hadn't developed at all romantically after the first six episodes. The acting didn't seem great. The writing might be a reason. It's not really about vampires. It's about Pun's love for pork blood soup. I don't care about the characters. Yo was so annoying. I only somewhat liked Pun.

Kisses? Who cares?

Well, that was boring. Nothing happened. I definitely feel like I've wasted an hour and a half of my life. I also feel incredibly weirded out by the age gap. Sixteen and twenty-six. That's fucking gross. I can't say I was unhappy about the fact that they didn't get together.

Although it didn't end how I wanted it to, I did enjoy some of it. Felix and Magnus's relationship was so beautiful at one point. I was sad that Felix couldn't contain his urges, though. No matter how much he sexually desired Magnus, he shouldn't have touched him without consent. Maxim was scary. He let greed get the best of him. He was, in general, not a great person. I felt awful for Tita. She was a slightly irresponsible mother, but at least she cared. The movie took an unexpected turn, which I can appreciate to a certain extent. It wasn't satisfying, but it was interesting. The acting was good.

The acting wasn't always great, especially from Pha, who was one of the main characters. That said, I didn't dislike the acting. I thought God's lack of emotion suited the character in a way. The main couple didn't have any chemistry. The kiss was awkward. The other couples severely lacked development. Kit and Ming had some chemistry, at least. Forth and Beam hardly had the time to interact. Truly a shame. Also, Forth was into Wayo. So that was another reason why he and Beam had yet to fall for each other. Wayo, Pha, and Ming were all horrible at turning people down. Ming definitely didn't care about his ex-girlfriend's feelings. Wayo never directly turned Forth down, and Pha waited a million years to tell Pring he liked Wayo. There were multiple rape jokes. There was the I-don't-like-men-I-just-like-blank thing. There was the wife thing. There were also stereotypical gay people and an evil female character. The toxic tropes were strong in this one. Lastly, I never understood how Pha couldn't recognize Wayo until he put glasses on. He looked the same either way. It had only been a little over a year since he last was him. It was just not a well-written plot twist.

The acting was great in this one. The chemistry was also a lot better, but overall it still lacked in some aspects. Wayo and Pha were boring and toxic. Both of them were unreasonably jealous all the time. Pha was also controlling and pressured Wayo into being ready to sleep with him. Beam and Forth's first sexual encounter was very questionable. I mean, afterward, Beam said that he was disgusted by himself. Forth kept saying that Beam initiated it, but drunk people are unable to consent. Forth should have stopped Beam. Forth also essentially forced Beam to be his boyfriend. Ming and Kit were the least problematic. The worst part was Kit and Beam pretending to date. I guess that was mostly on Beam, but Kit already liked Ming at that point. Why lie about it? Then there was Ming admitting to stalking Kit, basically. I could also talk about Kit's somewhat homophobic brother, but I won't. Lastly, there was Park and Pring. Park was ultra-creepy. Pring was yet another forgetful evil female character. At least we had Kit's ex, who made up for it. The constant use of the word wife was disgusting. The use of heteronormative terms in BL's needs to stop. It ended on a cliffhanger,  so there is no conclusion yet. Even if they do make another one, they'll have to recast again. They really should just let this story go. There was also a reason why all the actors kept leaving.

I had nothing against this, I guess. It was just too short, resulting in a very rushed final episode. There was also too much time spent on the straight couples. That said, the characters were mostly likable, and X and Q were cute together. Basically, it could have been a lot better if it didn't feel unfinished.

Lin was pretty likable, but kissing Ray when he was sleeping was not okay. Ray's whole scheme was stupid. Just tell the man the truth. Don wasn't that childish, in my opinion. I can only really think of the tape thing, and I guess denying still having feelings. I thought the bathtub scene was super cute, domestic, and a first for me. I would like to see Meen star in a BL as the main character. Anyway, let's not get carried away. It was just an ad, after all.

This BL is highly overrated. It wasn't bad. It just wasn't as good as people kept saying it was. The acting from Sarawat was lackluster. I don't know if it was his character or if Bright was just simply inexperienced in acting. The plot was very generic. The whole fake-relationship thing is so overdone, especially in BL's. The kisses were quite stiff, and they had more chemistry as friends, in my opinion. So, Phukong and Mil. Compared to My Tee, they didn't have as much chemistry. Mil was generally just not a good character. I also found Phukong's unshakable determination to pursue Mil, even after he rejected him, pathetic. Green and Dim's relationship was so toxic and uncomfortable. But I guess without their presence, the story wouldn't have progressed. All in all, I still think the series was watchable.

There were kisses (and a lovely high-five).

Hmm. A disappointment is all I can call it. It was 90% scenes from 2gether, 5% scenes from Still 2gether, and 5% new scenes. Even the new scenes were unnecessary. They really had us all thinking that they would get married and all that. Sarawat just gave Tine a fucking guitar pick. A GUITAR PICK! Hadn't they already done that? They didn't even add a new kiss, and the one good kiss they did have wasn't featured. This movie was more of a letdown than the high-five. I did like getting to see things from Sarawat's perspective, though. That's literally the only positive thing I can find to say about this.

I don't think I have ever been so flustered watching a BL. Kurosawa and Adachi were just so lovable and cute together. I don't think I've ever watched anyone adore someone like Kurosawa did Adachi. They didn't have many intimate moments, but I honestly didn't care. The ones they did have were so precious. I mean, I still watched the whole series four times. The acting was superb. Tsuge and Minato were also a sweet couple, but sometimes they took over a little too much of the episodes. The plot was new to me, and I thought it was fun. Although, down the line, it got a little more serious. Also, a BL that didn't take place in a school excited me. There were also a lot of little details that you'd only notice if you paid close attention. The best part was the absence of any toxic female characters. The only thing that was missing was a kiss between Kurosawa and Adachi. I hope there will be another season in the future.

The only thing I'll applaud it for was the acting and the fact that no one died. I skipped more than half the movie because it was extremely boring and slow-paced. The only thing that wasn't slow was them suddenly getting together. It also took me a little while to figure out that the four days were four different years, all on valentines day. Mark was unreasonable. It is frustrating to date someone who is in the closet, but he had no right. You can not force someone to come out. If Mark was tired, he should have just ended it. As Derek said, it was unfair of him. Lastly, as weird as it was, I appreciated the ketchup analogy that Derek used to express his feelings for Mark.

It had a decent plot, and the acting was great. All the actors were convincing. Some of the characters became a bit boring to me, though. Okay, so there are many spoilers ahead. Songpol/Paul, our gay character, didn't end up with anyone. I really liked Khaotung and Win's chemistry, but it didn't make sense for their characters to get together. Even if Paul stayed in his fifteen-year-old body, he still had the mental age of a fifty-five-year-old. He also had watched Phiphu grow up from birth and referred to him as his nephew. It would have been really weird for him to start dating him. During his time as his younger self, he had his first kiss and fell in love with someone who loved him back. When he returned to his old body, he was a happy and free man. He now had the courage to be himself and start dating. Therefore I would say he had his happy ending. Phiphu might have felt his ending was less happy. He still had time to find someone else, though. Basically, I wouldn't watch this for the BL aspect of it.

This was confusing. I didn't get the plot at all. Maybe I'm just stupid, but I prefer thinking that the writing just wasn't it. What was even more mindboggling was the fact that there were two different endings. Apparently, 11.1 is the happy ending, and 11.2 isn't? I don't know. I only watched the happy one, and that one in itself was a rushed mess. Fluke and Ohm are very talented actors. It makes me so sad that their talent keeps being wasted. With a proper series, they have great chemistry. They have already proven this. I didn't like Mint and An. They were such toxic people. Well, at least in one universe, they were. Once again, I didn't really understand that part. Wee and Game were an okay couple. I liked Game's honesty. Wee bothered me a little bit, though. The whole thing with the ex was so unfair toward Game. He handled that quite poorly. I really liked Mum. I was happy to see Ohm play a different kind of character. Dew was meh. I didn't see the appeal. Fluke is adorable, but his character in this was just there.

That was torture. The whole thing was so pretentious. It wasn't deep. It was just a bunch of words coupled with two actors trying to convince me they could cry. I honestly don't know whether they can't act or what. It's hard to say with such badly written things as this. The characters were not likable. It was only in the last episode that I didn't detest Sun. It also just wasn't BL. Sure, Sun was trying to get his boyfriend back by essentially killing multiple people, but the focus was Sun's journey to change himself. I just don't care. Also, what the fuck was that ending? Were they communicating through their minds? Girl. Anyway, maybe I'm just not the target audience.

(Ep. 1) Ozone & Sun:

There was a little too much bullying and too little of them together. It felt a little stupid that they ignored each other for so long. Also, the bullies faced no consequences. Anyway, Earth and Santa have amazing chemistry. The kiss was great. It's one of my new favorites. I wish that Sun hadn't been drunk, though. Their acting was good. I would have liked a more definitive ending.

(Ep. 4) Balloon & Mek:

There was cheating. There was a lack of communication. There was a breakup. Also, homophobia. Just not very original. Boun and Prem did seem to have improved their acting skills, at least. The best part of this episode was that we found out that Ozone and Sun did get together. Lastly, Prem's ever-changing hair made the story hard to piece together.

(Ep. 6) Phupha & Tonnam:

Art, Boom, and Peak had all improved their acting significantly since I last saw them. It was nice to see. They were also working with a better script this time around.

It was pretty good. I don't have any major complaints, I guess. Most of the conflict was resolved fairly quickly. None of the main characters were insufferable. I really liked Gun. Force is a great actor. He nails the little expressions. He acted like a shy and loving boyfriend in this, and it was adorable. Cher wasn't a bad character either. I thought Book's acting had gotten better. I also liked Cher's friends. Thi and Zo were cute together. I would like to see them together again. Anyway, all that said, I also didn't like love this series. Although I do like Force and Book together, I don't think they have amazing chemistry. I also didn't think the plot or writing was particularly interesting or different. It was just... good.

It was nice. It was pretty straightforward and predictable but sweet and easy to watch. Considering the short length, it didn't feel too rushed. There were some things that I felt were missing, but I almost always feel that way, no matter how long a series is. The acting was good. They had chemistry. The kisses were not so great. Well, actually, the first kiss was fine, but the other two were a let-down. I'm not opposed to a second season about the friend. We didn't know that much about him, but he didn't seem problematic. Overall, I enjoyed it, but it didn't blow me away. Also, I don't know who wrote the synopsis, but there was no mention of a gift or any confession in the parts about the past.

I assume they stayed together and eventually got married? Jim reassuring Mike was so beautiful and pure. Mike, on the other hand, was wrong in not telling Jim about being positive immediately. He also made up excuses that were way more hurtful than the truth. I'm just happy Mike didn't sleep with Jim after he found out he had HIV. The acting was okay.

I just felt uncomfortable throughout the whole thing. There wasn't really a gay relationship. It was unrequited love, more so. There was an (as far as we know consensual) steamy scene between the king and Hong Rim, but I generally don't think Hong Rim reciprocated the king's feelings. The king was just incredibly selfish. He forced Hong Rim and the queen to have intercourse multiple times because he couldn't, which led to them actually liking each other. Then when he found out about it, he was enraged. The acting was superb, though.

I just can't do it anymore. I need to drop BL's like this. It's for my sanity. Seriously. It's so bad. I strongly dislike BL's where one of them is hopelessly in love with an asshole who seems to exclusively date women, and many of them at that. It's an instant turnoff for me. Maybe, just maybe, I could have pushed through despite that, but the subtitles were the tipping point for me. They were basically incomprehensible.

Well, it was all good until the last two episodes. I was seriously considering rating this really high, but wtf was that ending? The chemistry was there. The acting was good. The characters were flawed, mostly Tae Hyun, but had redeemable qualities and were complex. The plot was somewhat generic but kept me interested. Then came the unnecessary disputes and time skips. I really dislike time skips. It's such lazy writing, in my opinion. They also skipped the most interesting and butterfly-inducing period of a relationship. The beginning. It was so disappointing. Also, I don't really care whether there are kisses or not, Cherry Magic is one of my favorite BL's of all time, but when you constantly tease a kiss, it becomes so dreadful, especially when they don't end up kissing. Overall, I just think it was a shame. It's not like they didn't have enough time to make it not feel rushed. Where Your Eyes Linger had a total runtime of like eighty minutes, and that felt more complete than this somehow. I wanted to love this so badly. I still mostly liked and enjoyed it, though.

I ended up enjoying this a lot, actually. It wasn't a masterpiece or anything like that, but Qi Zhang alone was enough to brighten my day. He might just be one of my favorite characters of all time. He was a literal angel, and his smile melted my heart. I also liked Ye Guang. He was very cute too. It was just that one outburst of his that made me prefer Qi Zhang. Together they made an adorable couple. Both of the actors were so young, but I thought they did really well. The side couple was okay. Their kisses were nice, but I was a bit on the fence about Ray. I didn't like how he ignored Ah Jian for so long. It was perfectly normal that Ah Jian needed some time to understand his sexuality. Ray was quite immature about it. So, yeah, there were cliches and shitty parents, but at least there was chemistry and consent. Also, I live and breathe for soft couples.

It was just boring. I can't believe I made it through. You would think time travel would be interesting. In this case, it was not. I also can't be the only one who thought it was incredibly creepy when they made older Suansoon and younger Ongsa get romantically involved. The whole thing made me feel very weird. The acting was mostly good. For some reason, the actor for older Suansoon bothered me. I couldn't get myself to like him. I also didn't think there was any chemistry. Anyway, as I've said many times before, some people might still enjoy this.

Another very overrated series. The relationship was so forced. Most of the time, I was unsure of whether or not there was consent. Forcefulness should NOT be romanticized. Gu Hai even kidnapped Bai Luo Yin. It still scares me that people love this so much. I didn't even necessarily think they had that much chemistry. Bai Luo Yin's dad and Yang Meng were the best characters. You Qi was also okay, but he was nasty towards Yang Meng for seemingly no reason other than jealousy, I guess? Both of the leads girlfriends/ex-girlfriends were annoying. For once, neither of the male characters cheated, at least. They liked to use the wifey-thing in this. Gross. I can compliment the fact that Gu Hai didn't seem to mind letting go of his dominance. Rarely, the dominant one would even consider giving up his pride, as they'd probably refer to it as. He might have been joking, though. The ending was obviously very unfinished. It did get banned after all. Maybe it's a good thing it did get banned. The writing was awful and encouraged toxic behavior.

Great chemistry, despite the ban. The ending, however, was just so weird and almost ruined the whole thing for me. It could have been so good. Still, I loved them together. I thought it was easy to tell they were more than friends.

It was so bad. It was basically on par with Check Out. The plot made no sense. I mean, they completely abandoned the side stories. The last episode felt like a last-minute thing. There were literally three other couples whose destinies were left to our imagination. They opted to focus solely on the main couple. They are probably one of my least favorite BL couples of all time. They were cheesy, boring, and had no chemistry. I remember Meen had plenty of chemistry with his co-star in another series. I think the problem here was the writing, first of all, but also Ping's acting. It simply wasn't good. It feels horrible to say that, but it also happens to be the truth. Then there was the wife thing. It makes me sick. WHEN WILL THEY STOP THIS NONSENSE?! Lastly, I have no idea how this is related to Tonhon Chonlatee other than the main characters' names.

Ootina was too distrustful, and Tachibana was too secretive. If Tachibana had just told Ootani the truth, there wouldn't have been as much of a conflict between them. Ootina was also just way too jealous over such small things. When they weren't fighting, they were cute, though. About Yukiko, she was pretty nice, compared to so many other crazy girls in BL's that can't accept rejection. But I didn't like her saying, "You're not turning into one of those trendy homosexuals, are you?" What does that even mean?

The most impressive thing about this was the fact that it was all one continuous shot. The actors did great. The story was sad and thought-provoking. It definitely wasn't cute nor romantic. My rating mostly has to do with the fact that it wasn't an actual BL. There weren't really any romantic feelings between these two. Of course, not everything has to be cutesy and happy, but that is what I enjoy.

Kim Jun Hyung's acting was the only thing I loved about this, to be honest. Everything else was average or even subpar. I didn't care for the plot. The leads didn't have chemistry. They seemed more like brotherly friends. The kisses really lacked. You can't insinuate that they will sleep together and then just have Ki Hoon look like he fell asleep on Ji Yu's face. It was very disappointing. So yeah, I didn't hate it. It just didn't entertain me much either.

Yeah, it wasn't great. The acting was sometimes very over-the-top. The story sucked. Sarah made two men believe her brother was her. Sarah, was in general, a manipulative and selfish person. I really did not like her. Elmo shouldn't have gone along with it, though. I don't care if she was his sister. He should have told her right from the start that it was wrong. I mean, to be honest, none of the characters were likable. I don't really know what happened in the last episode because there weren't any subtitles yet. I wanted it to be over as soon as possible, so I saw it without the subtitles. Either way, I think they tried to redeem Elmo and Sarah's homophobic and abusive dad. Just no. Also, I have no idea who the new guy at the end was, and I don't really care. Anyway, you definitely aren't missing anything.

What a nonsensical cringy mess. They just suddenly got together after a one-night-stand, mind you, when You Xi was in a relationship. They had no chemistry because the writing didn't allow it. The acting was fairly bad. There was a homophobic parent who fainted due to said homophobia. There were evil female characters. The ending was super abrupt. I think there either is or was supposed to be a second movie. I can't find it anywhere, though. The only slightly redeemable thing was that they actually seemed comfortable with the kisses.

Well, well, well. For once, I might have good things to say. The plot was pretty generic, but I still liked it. There was definite chemistry. I especially enjoyed the moments when they were being super fluffy together. Not that there were many such moments, but the few that were there really warmed my heart. They both have such infectious smiles. Had there been more of them being cute together, and fewer misunderstandings, I would have rated this much higher. The kisses were better than most we've seen in Japanese BL's. They weren't amazing, but they also didn't make me cringe. There were also some more intimate scenes that, once again, weren't great but also weren't terrible. I liked the characters. Kaburagi was a little annoying at times because he kept things to himself, but overall he was good. Onoe was a little naive. That said, he wasn't super incapable of doing anything like so many BL characters before him. He was cute. The acting was good. I would now like another season where it's just them being adorable. No drama or anything like that.

If you could get past the fact that it's literally a man dating and fucking a robot, maybe you could enjoy this, but I couldn't. It's weird. It's not like it would have been all that interesting even if they both were human. It's a very ordinary plot if you take the robot thing out of the equation. I didn't care for the characters. Because I couldn't get past the fact that Yi Ping was making out with a robot, I felt no chemistry. The acting was fine. Lastly, the seven-year time skip in the final episode was such lazy and illogical writing.

What most impressed me was the acting and the deviation from stereotypes and tropes. Nanon and Ohm have immaculate chemistry. Truly some of the most natural interactions I've ever seen in a BL. Their first kiss was beautiful. In this couple, there was no designated top and bottom. In fact, I'm pretty sure they never directly discussed it. It was refreshing. There wasn't a whole lot of denial about their sexuality. Of course, there was some confusion, but both of them acknowledged their preferences. Pat was even bi, which is super rare to come across in BL's. We also had a lesbian couple. They were adorable. There, for maybe the first time ever, wasn't an unnecessary break-up right before the final. The character development was gradual and nice. There were only really two things that majorly bothered me. First of all, Wai was a horrible friend. He didn't just manipulate and take advantage of Pran. He also outed him. I'm sorry, but I wouldn't stay friends with someone who had done that. Second of all, I highly disagreed with them having to pretend like they weren't boyfriends. Their parents had no right to force them to dislike each other. Now, this would all have been fine if the parents were told off, but they weren't. We just had to wait for them to be accepting.

It was not good. The story was silly and frankly boring. You don't have to watch this just for Korn and Knock. Their relationship was not great in this. They just fought constantly. Plus, Max and Tul didn't really have chemistry here. I mean, their relationship in Together With Me was also toxic, but this takes the cake. Knock and Cho trying to make Korn jealous got old pretty quick. I just found it tasteless. Lastly, their kisses were very meh. They did improve significantly in that department. All you need to know is that they got engaged at the end. The rest is a waste of time. Now you can go on to watch the prequel, which is honestly just as bad, but at least they're the main couple.

Oab and Guy should have just been a second couple instead of love rivals. It was so pointless. The series was never about baking. It was just about jealousy and stupidity. I didn’t care for most of the characters. Peach was okay. Oab was rather boring. Guy was an asshole, and so was Shin. The acting was fine. I can’t say I felt the chemistry between the couple, though.

So, as expected, this really wasn't about love between two men at all. Weir was gay. That's true. That said, there wasn't any kiss or lasting relationship. Weir had a toxic ex-boyfriend. He didn't end up with anyone else. There was a connection between Weir and Punn, but they made it pretty clear that Punn was straight. Punn did sometimes seem jealous, but I think it was more about not wanting to lose the bet. He didn't like Jean. Period. It wasn't that he didn't like Jean with Weir. During the first couple of episodes, they also teased the possibility of Weir and Pooh getting together. Ultimately, they didn't. Actually, I didn't even really understand whether Pooh was into Weir or not. The plot itself was quite chaotic. Frankly, it also bored me. The only thing I liked was the friendship and, well, Pooh. Both Punn and Weir were somewhat predatory. Weir made some very non-consensual advances at Punn in the first episode. The way Punn talked to women was also uncomfortable. Lastly, Mone sucked. She constantly thought she was in the right. Also, her mom telling her to continue to pursue Weir, even after finding out that he was gay, deeply disturbed me. The worst part was that she agreed.

This special just made me realize Yu Zhen and Zi Tong had better kisses than Yu Zhen and Shi Lei. I'd almost say they had better chemistry as well. To me, Yu Zhen seemed like he loved Zi Tong more than he'd ever come to love Shi Lei. Maybe that was just because of the lack of content of Shi Lei and Yu Zhen being an actual couple. I don't know. Either way, I'm not mad that it focused on Yu Zhen's past relationship, but I really wanted more of Shi Lei and Yu Zhen. The best part was Aaron's acting, I'd say.

Sadly it wasn't as great as I had hoped. They saved all of the development for the very last episode. The pushing and pulling bored me. Then they introduced the ex super late, ruining any progress Shi Lei and Yu Zhen had made. I also really didn't like how they all set up Yu Zhen to confess his feelings. I understand it was frustrating he kept it all to himself, but I would have felt so violated if my friends did that. The ex was, in general, a silly plot device. His motive didn't convince me. All that said, I think if you watch all the episodes in one go, it won't be as tedious. Hank and Aaron have great chemistry in real life, but I didn't really feel that in the series. It was as if they thought adding a bed scene in the last episode would make up for all of the filler episodes and the lack of chemistry. They focused more on all the other characters than the main couple. Sure, the other couple was cute, even if they did move a little too fast, but their presence caused the main couple to almost feel like they weren't the main couple. Also, I can't believe we saw Yu Zhen kiss his ex before we saw him kiss Shi Lei. The worst part was that I thought their kiss was better. To me, Hank felt a bit stiff and inexperienced, which was probably because he was. That's okay. There is always room for improvement. Anyway, the acting was decent overall. There were some cringey moments, but I blame the script more so than the actors themselves.

I honestly don't know what to say. I don't feel like there's much to point out. Which I would say is both good and somewhat bad.

Honestly, it wasn't that bad at first. It just got worse and worse. Punn annoyed me more and more. The side couple got weirder and weirder. The acting left much to be desired. The characters sucked ass. Also, why did Mingmueang insist on Punn calling him dad? It was so odd. Mingmueang creeped me out, in general. Episode eleven was some of the dumbest shit I've ever seen. The conflict was idiotic, and the majority of the episode was flashbacks. Then, the finale. Punn was so mad at Ashi, apparently, and all of a sudden, he was just over it. The writing simply infuriated me. The sad thing is that some people will probably still enjoy this solely because of the, in my opinion, awkward and out-of-place sex scenes.

I think it's important to start by mentioning that there is no incest in this. Anyway, it's one of those BL's where suddenly everyone is gay/bi/pan, which is great but unrealistic. Although it was chaotic, I found the whole switching between languages quite fun, actually. The plot was just too complex to fit into ten super short episodes. It was very rushed. So, the toxic aspects. Well, the worst part was Yan Yue's sister. She literally attempted to rape Yang Xiang. Did she at least admit her fault? No. It was almost as if all the people she harassed apologized to her. Disgusting. Then there was Jun Cheng kidnapping Lin Xun and breaking and entering multiple times. He called Lin Xun his prey and said that he didn't need his permission to hunt him. He was, in general, not planning on boarding the consent train. Jun Dao treated Yang Xiang like a slave. He had no right to be that jealous when they weren't even together yet. Yan Yue came off a little stalkerish. I mean, he knew way too many things about Lin Xun. He even somehow made a copy of his keys. He also said some nasty things about Jun Ping. I do think he mostly did that to get his sister to stop harassing him, though. Jun Ping wasn't that bad. He was for sure the best brother, but Lin Xun and Yang Xiang were the best characters. The acting was okay. The chemistry was lacking. If there weren't all the toxic tropes, this could have been so much better.

King literally raped Uea in the first episode. Why should I root for him? Uea had so much trauma from previous experiences. His mother was abusive, and his stepdad molested him. It made no sense that anyone would then want him to get together with yet another person who hurt him. Almost every character in this assaulted or attempted to assault Uea. It was ridiculous and gross. I especially disliked when King, who, mind you, had previously taken advantage of Uea, came and "saved" him from someone else who attempted to rape him. I mean, what a hero. Or when King accused Uea of getting together with his boss right after he almost got raped by the said boss, who King even knew Uea was uncomfortable around. King was NOT a good guy. I like James and Net together. They really do have chemistry, but this was a disappointing and disgusting series for them to debut in as a couple. Also, I am not excited about Middleman's Love after watching this. I really wanna see more of Tutor and Yim together, but oh my, Yim's character in this was so annoying. Knowing that he will play the same character in that breaks my heart. Anyway, as usual, I can only say that steamy scenes can not save a series, and it absolutely never makes up for trying to romanticize rape. I'm sure a lot of people will still enjoy small parts of this, though.

The only redeeming quality was the acting. Bum Jun felt quite natural to me. Also, the second kiss was nice. The plot was all over the place. There were so many things that were left out. This series desperately needed to be longer. Even just ten minutes could have made this make more sense. They wasted precious time on pointless scenes. I honestly had no idea what Yeong Woo and Yi Bin's history was. I didn't understand why Ki Jin chose to do what he did. The separation before the last episode was super cliche. I'm also pretty tired of love triangles. I only really started to see chemistry in the very last episode. Overall it was meh.

There were kisses.

I really didn't notice much difference other than the last kiss. It was longer but somehow not much better. I did like the last peck, though. Other than that, I couldn't tell you if anything else changed. It still felt incomplete.

The girl was horrible but also crucial for their relationship. The ending was sweet. I'm glad Jae Nam went against his mother's unreasonable wishes.

Censored romance.

If you started watching this expecting it to be a BL, you would be very disappointed. In the first half of the series, they did have a few intimate moments that could be considered questionable, but as the story progressed, their moments together faltered significantly. I definitely could tell Yuan Yang was jealous many times, but it never really went further than that. Gu Qing Pei could also probably have been perceived as gay, from what I saw and heard. Obviously, with the ban, they have to get really creative, and they just weren't successful, in my opinion. The actors have more intimate moments and more chemistry behind the scenes than in the series. Overall it was an okay series. It just lacked in the BL department. At least the acting was great and convincing. I also enjoyed watching Yuan Yang's character development because he really needed it.

No chemistry. The actor for Jim was so unconvincing. He just seemed uncomfortable the whole time. They both treated their partners/love interests so shit, that I didn't even want them to get together in the end. Also, the fake kissing, oh my. I can't believe they are making another season.

So it was literal porn for almost two hours, but with slightly better acting. I feel like the story could have been interesting, but it was just too graphic for me.

So, this was about friendship, which was what was promised. There wasn't really any romance. The brother-in-law was a two-timer, so I wouldn't say he was capable of love. Then there was the prostitute, who, of course, wasn't in love with either of them. It was slightly sad, honestly. It wasn't bad. It's just not what I enjoy.

No lips kiss, but there was a steamy scene.

This was somewhat cute. They had chemistry. They didn't go further than holding hands, though. Considering that this was both of the actor's debuts, they did fairly well. Kian was quite rude towards Aron. He honestly treated him a bit like a slave sometimes. Also, this was more focused on friendship than romance.

I'm truly sorry, but what a disappointment. They were my favorite couple in Until We Meet Again, but in this, I grew so sick of them. It was literally nauseating. The writing was so half-assed and cringey. It might sound mean, but I really didn't care about Team's past. It was incredibly dragged out. Everything was. The two new couples also bored me. Tul and Wan's story was majorly underdeveloped. They made no sense together. Bee and prince were just there. I didn't really care. Pharm and Wiew were the best characters and they, of course, weren't very important characters in this. I don't know. If you really like Boun and Prem together, knock yourself out, I  guess.

Goodness, it was so uninteresting and a mess. Nothing made sense, and there were so many things that were left unexplained or unfinished. I didn't care for any of the couples. None of them had chemistry. I didn't actually think the actors were bad. I'm pretty sure most of them were fucked over by bad writing. Also, as I've said many times, sex scenes do not make a series good.

Oh my. A "romance" that starts with, well, rape and blackmail. Cute. Don't get me wrong. They both did horrible things, but girl, wtf? Mangkorn's actions were unforgivable in my eyes. Either way, they both sucked. There were no likable characters. The acting wasn't bad, but also not notable. The chemistry was nonexistent. The same things could be said about the plot. I just didn't like anything about it. I've been sitting here for a long time, and I still can't find anything redeemable about it. All BL's like this do is reinforce all the ridiculous tropes and stereotypes. It makes me sick. Also, THEY ARE MAKING ANOTHER SEASON!!!??? Kill me now.

I don't think this was supposed to be taken seriously. It wasn't great. The effects were bad. It was so very cringey. The acting was average, leaning on below average. The story was hard to make sense of. It was also just boring. At least their kisses were decent. If it were shorter, I probably wouldn't have found it so hard to get through. The ending was underwhelming, but I guess it was cohesive? Lastly, their relationship was quite fucked up. So he put the essence of his previous lover into a child? Then he waited for that child to become an adult and essentially kidnapped him? How is that romantic? That was gross to me.

So, this was slow-burn done wrong. It was so incredibly boring. I have never watched a more awkwardly-paced series. Nothing made sense. Nothing mattered. Was there even a plot? None of the couples had any chemistry. Vich and Prem as a couple made me extremely uncomfortable. I'm sure a lot of the actors actually can act, but the script and the excruciatingly long scenes fucked them over. They all felt like robots. The guy playing Vich was especially stiff.  Their lines were also delivered with so many intervals. I literally almost forgot what the conversations were even about by the time they uttered the last words. I didn't care for any of the characters. Aek had zero emotions. Aue lost me when he forced himself upon Aek. I didn't care about any of the extensive amounts of pointless side characters. There was just no need for this to end how it did. It felt empty. It was happy, yet I felt dead on the inside. I don't think I could ever rewatch this. Watching it once was already dreadful enough. I really wish I could say something good about this. I don't know if I liked anything, though. I mean, even the food bored me. My high hopes probably resulted in the extreme disappointment I felt.

Someone else wrote "Don't bother with this version. It's episodes 1 & 2 of "Crank Up" cut, squeezed into 47 minutes and somehow made worse." I'll just trust them. I also don't even know where to find this version. So, I'll link the normal one.

Finally, a BL series that didn't bore me. To be fair, it wasn't a very long series, so maybe that helped. The writing was good. The acting was great. I loved the character's reactions. I'm not going to lie. After watching the first episode, I  feared it would become too much, mostly because of Akafuji's obsession with Hajime. It was a bit much, but it was also innocent in this instance. There was chemistry, and even though the series often revolved around the fact that they would eventually have to kiss, a kiss isn't all that important for a show like this. It's kind of reminiscent of Cherry Magic. It relied on sincere feelings and pure love, not physical intimacy.

I found it boring and confusing. This movie could easily have been halved. I've never cared much for super interpretive movies. Ji Hyeon most likely committed suicide. I know that much, at least. It was just sad and enraging. There were so many homophobes. Although, I think the housemates were purposefully misinformed. I wasn't sure about them. There were some intimate moments, but most of it was either vague or, well, BJ's. Hey, at least the acting was good. Another thing, I don't know why Won Chang is listed as having a significant role. He was literally only there for like two minutes. I was excited to see more of his acting, so to say I was disappointed would be an understatement.

No kiss.

It was just plain. The plot was unoriginal. The ending was pointless. I didn't really care about any of the characters. At least the acting wasn't bad. There was no chemistry, though. I also think the kiss might have been fake.

This was surprisingly really enjoyable. The acting was great. The kisses were actually pleasant and realistic. The chemistry was good. This was a BL filled with cliches, but it didn't make me roll my eyes in annoyance. I really liked Si Won and his character development. He was quite a complex character. Da Un was also nice. He just disappointed me a bit in the last episodes. That said, overall, I thought they were both good characters that were flawed but likable. I don't know. This just made me feel some type of way, like in a good way. It wasn't too serious nor too fluffy. It fitted my preferences almost perfectly. The subtle GL also made me happy. I was so glad that there were absolutely no non-consensual things happening. Yes, Da Un kissed Si Won without much warning. He did give him plenty of time afterward to stop him from continuing, though. I do have some critiques. At times I felt a little left out. I wasn't always able to understand what was happening. Also, the ending left several things unresolved. Basically, I would like another season.

The professor was a creep. I wished he had gone to prison. The ending was so out of place. They set it up to be a happy ending, and then they completely messed it up and made it an open/somewhat sad ending. I was also bored a few times throughout it.
