This wasn't for me....
This is a "jumping all over the place" type of BL. I love Force, but not Book and I just don't think they mesh well together chemistry wise. I think there was a missed opportunity to develop a better story, especially with the cast that was chosen especially since this has a very similar plot to Manner of Death, yet this plot was a bit weak. The actors chosen are good actors, yet I feel all of their talents were wasted on this BL. I feel the director did a so-so job directing this; like he/she felt lazy and threw something together to film this time around. I will not personally watch this again, but I won't suggest no one else watch it as they might like the series. This definitely wasn't for me.Was this review helpful to you?
YAWN ?!!! It's a bit boring!
This is okay if you like slow burn BL romances, but if you're a spicy BL fan like me, then this isn't for you. BL's that are spicy, yet still have a good plot are the speed I like. Don't get me wrong, though...the plot is pretty good, but slow. It took everything in my power not to fall asleep and to watch the entire thing. I agree that it's cute, but I felt it had more cringe than cute. This one just wasn't for me.Was this review helpful to you?

One word: RUSHED!!
This had the potential to be so much better than it was; especially with this casting!!! This felt rushed and all over the place. I am very disappointed in this series. I'm not really sure how to describe the way I feel about this series, but I'm going to try....First off, the only thing I liked about this series is the casting. I think the casting was great, however the execution of this series; terrible and I blame the directors. When I watched the series I was expecting more drama, more spice, really more of a lot of things that this didn't deliver.
Second, this did Neo dirty! He played a bastard in Only Friends yet he was docile in this one. I mean, they really toned down his character and I was expecting his character to be more outspoken, more dramatic, more of a lot of things really. I expected his character to be similar to how he was in the first Only Friends, but no... his character was toned down way too much and he barely had any screen time. The fact that Boston wasn't Boston in this had me highly disappointed because I was expecting more drama the minute he appeared in this show.
It also felt very rushed like the director wanted to hurry up and get this series over with or something. And don't get me wrong, the casting was great but the acting on some of them were very subpar and all of them are pretty good actors, so imagine my disappointment when I was watching this subpar acting from them and again not their fault; it's the directing. And let me just add this; with that much eye candy in this series it should have been better then the first one.
The Earth/Mix pairing wasn't doing it for me. I usually like anything those two are paired in together but this, no. Joss/Gawin pairing we're pretty good, however, the pairing that made this show even the slightest bit likable for me to continue watching was Aou/Boom pairing. To me, they made this show possible. They brought the spice and they brought most of the drama that actually made sense.
Another thing that made this okay to watch were the cameos by Sand/Ray and then Nick showing up and Boston saw him while being Boston. This one just did not tickle my fancy but I did like seeing Great at the end, so does this mean we'll possibly get a third season of Only Friends and we'll follow his story? I mean, it can't be any worse than this one was. It was so disappointing and I wish I could get all the hours I wasted on this show back but I can't. And maybe somebody out there will like and appreciate the show, but I didn't and my rating stands.

In my opinion, TERRIBLE!
This had to be the worst BL series I've ever seen in my entire life and that is just my opinion though! I enjoy spicy BLS, but there has to be a plot to go along with it! This only had spice but no plot! This whole series was just a bunch of hyped up, sexually frustrated boys looking for their next hook-ups! Now I personally do not recommend this BL to anyone because of the lack of plot, but if someone out there likes spicy BL's with no plot, then this is it. I gave one star all the way down for this whole series because it just didn't do it for me. That does not mean it won't do for someone else. I watched the whole thing and..... I won't watch it again. This doesn't mean that someone else can't watch it. They may have a different opinion about the series then I did but I just thought it was awful and I can't possibly recommend this to anybody.Was this review helpful to you?

I really enjoyed this
I really enjoyed this one. Of course, I was a little disappointed that it wasn't like the trailer but it was still good. The story, the fact that Joss was a vampire and a nice looking one at that. I mean, Joss is so gorgeous to look at and he's great at acting . I also love the fact that he was paired with Gawin as they have great chemistry together. Then, Neo was in this and I love Neo's acting. In any show Neo is in, he has great chemistry with whoever and whatever show he's acting in. Heck Neo's chemistry is so good that he could have good chemistry with a spoon! And let me not forget about Mond being a vampire in this! He is good looking as well. To me, whole series was a smorgasbord of eye candy!The acting, the plot, the pairings and everything about it to me was just excellent! If I had to say, the most disappointing part about this series is when the character Neo portrayed was killed. My mind was screaming, "We got all these good looking vampires around make him one too! He'd just be another addition to the good-looking vampire club," as he was dying, but he wasn't made into one, which I felt was a waste.
I would recommend this series to anyone who is looking for a fluffy, yet spicy BL with a good plot and tons of eye candy. Not to mention vampires; good looking vampires!

OMG! It was so BORING!!!
This had to be one of the most boring BLS I've ever seen! The acting, the storyline, the fact that it seemed to jump all over the place, the cinematography it was just awful in my opinion. I like BLs that have a good plot; this didn't deliver that. I like spice in my BLs; this didn't have it. I like good acting; the acting in this one was subpar. Not a big fan of slow burn romance BLs; that's what this one is. I will never watch this again but I won't tell someone else not to watch it as they may have a different opinion about it than me if the watch it, but I won't recommend it to anyone.Was this review helpful to you?
Yawn! And I had high hopes for this too!!
This was extremely boring!! This BL felt all over the place and it seemed to skip out on a good plot. I adore Zee and NuNew, but this BL; just wasn't it. Slow and steady doesn't always win the race and that's so obvious judging with how this turned out. Slow burn romance, abuse, a masochist, a narcissist Prince. I mean, what was the point of creating this series. Just to make serious BL fans angry 😡? Well, it worked! I'm so disappointed with this TV series.I was pretty invested in the second couple as their story seemed more dramatic. The acting was subpar, but the chemistry on the second pair seemed genuine

This didn't do it for me. ?
I love Fort and Peat in almost anything they act in but this series squandered their talents. It was confusing, it jumped all over the place and I blame the directing on this. Fort and Peat are too talented to have been chosen for this series. I won't suggest no one else not watch this because whoever watches it next might like it but this just wasn't it for me. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either and I feel there was a great big opportunity missed here to make the series better, especially with Fort and Peat at the helm.Was this review helpful to you?
It's okay... I think it could be a little better.
So far it's okay. I think what I don't like about this TV series is the the one that is called Little Jane. He gets on my nerves and if the only reason that I gave it the stars that I did! He gets on my last nerve. I'm not sure why but he he's just annoying! I have almost stopped watching this at every turn because Little Jane is annoying. The only reason why I keep watching this is because I do like Big Jane. Granted, at first I didn't like him much because I really thought that he was some sort of demon, especially when I saw the trailer for it and he had black demon wings coming out of his back; however, the more I watch it the more I see that that's not the case, but Little Jane...... He is just so freaking annoying. I can't stand him!! But I am going to finish watching this because I do want to know how this ends. Little Jane though is cringe-worthy. He gives me goosebumps and not in a good way. I am just so close to being through with him. I noticed so many people are giving it such high ratings and it's making me question if we're all watching the same series and if I'm the only one that finds Little Jane annoying!Was this review helpful to you?
Excellent BL series!!
Despite what anyone says, this was one of the best BL series I've ever seen! Romance, action, dysfunctionality, toxicity, definitely a worthless father, worthless brother, worthless sister, excellent plot and just an all-around excellent BL series! I really enjoyed this series, yet so many people gave it such bad reviews and I thought it was excellent. I would recommend this BL to anyone who was looking for something a little different as the acting is great and Dao and OffRoad's chemistry; is on point! Typically, I enjoy a spicier BL, but once I started watching this one, I couldn't stop watching it; I actually ended up binge watching it. I'm writing this review based on how I feel about the series and I know other people write the reviews on how they feel about the series, but I recommend watching the series for yourselves and then decide for yourself if it's something that you're interested in. Don't let someone's bad review keep you from watching a series that you may actually like because of their opinion. My opinion is this BL deserves a watch. I found it very enjoyable; it's just my opinion though.Was this review helpful to you?
It was okay... Just okay.
This was an okay story. I was not a fan of the guy Ravin in this TV series. Maybe he is just new to acting and that's why he's acting ability is subpar. Bas, was okay in this series but not like he was in KinnPorsche and not like he was in 4 Minutes. I do believe that Bas's talent was squandered on this series. But the Ravin actor should not have been chosen for this role. I finished it, but just barely because I could not handle his acting ability. I'm not completely writing it off as a bad series, but it was definitely nothing to scream about and the people that are giving this such high reviews, must have not watched the same series because it definitely isn't a 10-star watch. It was just okay and it's because of Ravin that I felt it was just okay.Was this review helpful to you?
It's okay
This was okay. I love Bible, love the guy who played Korn and love the guy who played the doctor in this series, but the guy who played Tonkla; his acting is bad!! His acting was so bad that I almost didn't finish watching this! It felt like his acting was a bit Overkill in some areas, but then not enough Overkill in areas that they're needed to be. He just wasn't a good fit for this, his acting just isn't there. Even when he was in another series that I watched his acting has not changed. Maybe with more practice he'll get better, but wow! He was the only flaw to me in this.Was this review helpful to you?
It was just okay
I feel that this BL was missing something and I mean a whole lot of something. Both of the gentlemen that they picked are both nice looking and pretty good actors, however, I think their talents were squandered on this particular BL. There was a wasted opportunity to make this a really good BL. Some of the things jumped around a bit and really didn't make a whole lot of sense. The intimate scenes weren't as good as I expected them to be because to me, even though I think the main characters make a good pairing, it didn't look like they were very comfortable kissing each other. When a male actor decides to do a BL that requires kissing another guy, there has to be some level of comfortability in order to do it, successfully; and I feel feel two main actors were unsuccessful with their attempts to act intimately with each other. I feel that their chemistry in this particular BL, wasn't chemistring this go around. They were a lot better in "Love in the Moonlight" with their chemistry. I'm not going to say it was a good BL and I'm not going to say it was a bad BL. It was just okay. I just felt this BL had the opportunity to be so much more than what it was and that's disappointing. I won't completely write it off and say that I'll never watch it again, but it won't be anytime soon because I really did feel this BL was kind of a letdown considering who the main two characters were.Was this review helpful to you?
I found it very enjoyable!!
Okay, so some of the reviews I'm reading are not very good concerning the show and so the stars are lower than I expected. I personally enjoyed it. Now, some parts of it may have been a little cliched but other than that it was pretty enjoyable. The main couple has always had good chemistry with their acting abilities toward each other. I only had one issue with the main couple and it was during their intimate scene in episode 9; the kissing was all wrong! I mean who kisses like that?And then there was the second couple the editor/book writer couple. First of all, the guy that got to play the editor is absolutely gorgeous and they have pretty good chemistry as well. However, their kissing scenes are terrible! It was almost like the guy who writes the books in this TV series (as I don't know his real name), didn't feel comfortable/look comfortable kissing another guy. It just looked really awkward between the two, but I do like their pairing. Other than these issues, I really found it enjoyable and would definitely watch it again.

WTH did I watch? It was utterly ridiculous!!! I'm not understanding the high reviews this is getting! It was trash to watch! Terrible acting, ridiculous story and it made absolutely no sense!! Who created and directed this TV series? I want my wasted time back! I don't understand what this show was even about. It just kept jumping all over the place from the very beginning.Was this review helpful to you?
