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.

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?
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?
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!

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?
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?
THIS WAS VERY LACKING!
This had the potential to be so much better than it was! First of all, just let me say that I'm not a fan of Boun/Prem; I never have been but this was not the reason for the ratings I picked. I don't really know what to say about this show. It was so bad that it's left me literally speechless as to what to write about it, but I'll try to say what I think about this show in so many words....Second the acting; I may not be a fan of the main pairing but I've seen them act before and I do think they have excellent acting skills but their acting skills were wasted on this series. The main issue I have with the main pairing is their kissing scenes. They've never been good with their intimate scenes. As a matter of fact, everybody's acting skills were wasted on this series and some of the cast members were not very good in their acting in this series. It looked fake, the fight scenes were terrible and I was trying to give this show the benefit of the doubt after I read some of the reviews and needless to say, a lot of the reviews I read about this show were spot on. This really was pretty bad. I really don't know how to explain how bad this was. I only watched it for one reason and I'm not going to say what that is because it would spoil it and it was the only reason I finished it.
Third the story; it felt like it was jumping each episode; like there were pieces missing in every episode that came after the first episode. I was having a difficult time following it. Some parts of it did not make sense. It was like the story was just rushed as if there was no thought put into it when it had so much potential to be better than this; with better acting, maybe a different cast and better plot. I liked all the cast members they chose for this series except for the main pairing because I've never been a fan of them, but it really felt rushed. It took everything in my power to finish watching this and not fall asleep.
Someone else might enjoy this series. I didn't but that doesn't mean someone else won't. It just didn't tickle my fancy and I'm a BL lover.

Kind of silly, but not bad
This is kind of silly, a bit jumpy and I can't seem to find all the episodes to watch it, but I'm here for TodTime anyway. It's nice to see Tod again. I've always enjoyed watching him act ever since I seen him in Venus in The Sky because he gives his all (especially with his intimate scenes) and he didn't disappoint here either. I do feel the storyline is a bit sporadic and it's not bad, though there's definitely missed opportunities for this to be better.It's also nice to see Time again after I watched him in The Whisperer. I still think his acting is a bit subpar, but I feel he matches Tod's energy with the intimate scenes, because let's be real; when Tod kisses, he kisses! There isn't any pecking with him during kissing scenes (he uses his tongue)and the only one who ever matched his energy was Cheque and when Cheque left, I felt they would not be able to find someone who could keep up with the intensity Tod brings to intimate scenes, but I was wrong. Time still needs a bit more acting experience, but he seems capable of keeping up with Tod's acting intensity.
I'm a BL fan, through and through, so my biggest complaint is how many GL couples that were in this and I felt TodTime didn't get enough screen time. This show had more GL couples than BL and that rifled my feathers a bit. However, since I could not find a lot of the episodes to watch, I'm just going off the episodes that I did watch and there was more GL than BL. I hope I find more of these to watch because I'm invested in TodTime's acting abilities in this one.

A bit too fluffy for me.
I watched this as a recommendation from a review I read saying it was spicy!! The reviewer lied as it was a lot of fluff and absolutely 0 spice!!! It was cute in it's own way and I don't recognize any of the main actors, but their chemistry was good and their acting was pretty good. I'm not happy about the lack of spice (NC scenes) but it was enjoyable to watch and it didn't cause me to fall asleep. All in all, it was pretty good and the actor who played Pluem is extremely handsome and I thought he was the guy who acted with Ohm in the TV series Bad Buddy as they really look alike. I haven't seen him in another role since, but it'd be nice to see his talents branch out more. I recommend this one to anyone into sweet and fluffy BL romances.Was this review helpful to you?
It was just okay
I love Mile/Apo ever since KinnPorsche and I only watched this because of them, but I feel this was over hyped a bit. Mile/Apo are two of the best actors I have watched in a long time and I was a bit disappointed that they were chosen for this series with how talented they are. This wasn't as good as I thought it would be and I think their talents were squandered with this. I loved the setting and the plot was pretty good, but the delivery was wrong and I blame the directing. There was a missed opportunity to turn this into a banger BL with a good plot and some serious spicyness, considering we know that Mile/Apo can deliver some spice, but maybe that's the fangirl in me screaming 😱 because there was only one spicy scene between them (which was backwards) and then no more. I watched the quote on quote "uncut" version, yet I 'm still waiting for the "uncut." It didn't live up to the hype.Was this review helpful to you?

Not bad at all!
This was pretty good for not having well known actors. History types of BL's are usually spot on when it comes to a plot. It gives "I Feel You Linger in The Air, Letters to Rati, and Love Upon a Time" vibes. Some of the acting could of been better, but these aren't well known actors, so I think it was as to be expected. I dislike that the main couple didn't end up together in the end and the father finally grew some sense; even though it took one of his son's dying for him to obtain that, but all in all this wasn't a bad watch, although it might've been more popular had well known actors been chosen for this instead.Was this review helpful to you?
