10/10 Loved It <3 Dead Friend Forever is a bold, dark, and unforgettable Thai BL that completely breaks the rules. It mixes BL with horror and thriller elements, turning friendship, guilt, and past cruelty into a gripping and emotional story. The acting is powerful - especially Barcode as Non- and the atmosphere is tense, disturbing, and addictive. This is not a cute or light BL, but a raw and intense experience that stays with you long after it ends.
10/10 Spinning My Head This series is not even over but it is for adults only. As I say! am over six decades it is not an issue for me but minors no. The plots, yes plots are keeping my mind spinning but in a good way. It wasn't a cookie cutter bl series which keeps me going back and see if I missed something. The beginning was interesting but as I continue to watch it is throwing me for loops and turns. The characters are in synergy with each others. Where as I believe in their relationships. They're able to portray their characters in a way that believable. There's no confusion as to if they're friends or lovers. Which I have problems with series that are not clear. The locations were assets to the plots. Honestly, I rate this one with "Unknown "and "Kin and Porsche" as to how many times it would be a go to series to watch and never get tired of it. I hope to see more mature characters for adults to enjoy. Oh where did my update 1 go.
10/10 THE BEST BL SERIES EVER!! I am not trying to exaggerate but this series is definitely the best bl series I have watched in my life. Everything about it is just perfect, the chemistry, cinematography, the ost, the casts, the humor and everything. I have read the novel and what I can say is that the series is so much better than it. Kudos to everyone involved in the series production!!
10/10 Entertaining and captivating series My Stand-in is a very entertaining series, manages to capture your attention from the first episode and keeps you hooked until the last one. It's a story that departs from the usual, with suspense and romance, but also showing love from a darker perspective. The performances were quite good, with Poom Phuripan Sapsangsawat standing out. He's an actor I didn't know and who pleasantly surprised me. He has a lot of charisma and effortlessly conveys emotions. He carried the weight of the series quite well. Not to mention, he has a beautiful voice. I hope to see him in other series where he can continue to showcase his talent. I absolutely recommend it.

10/10 MAXTUL do it again...!! Manner of death is the best surprise to myself... MAXTUL wisk us away to a wonderland of true love with the support team keeping up the intense, exciting and funny storyline until your at the last episode begging for more... The fairytale landscape of Thailand in a form I have never experienced in a non-fantasy show lets you escape into your own imagination... That last scene on episode 14 is the perfect example or Tan's beautiful home in the forest... The music... Where do I begin! Wait, that'll take too long - just do yourself a favour: get the song from Tul Pakorn(Dr. Bun in the show) - Secret love and that will explain the level of epicness that this show and these boys-now-men have reached... A must see for anyone who wishes to be surprisingly and exquisitely entertained...
10/10 Deep thinking It is not hard to understand the storyline as everyone said, as there are clues from the very first episode, connecting dots can take time for the people who are new to this type of mystery genre. Everyone did well and showcased their best Their stuble movements and eye contacts. One of the best series. My first thought when i came to know there are only 8 episodes was it is too short but after watching i know it is just right This drama is first straight drama that i ever saw with no nonsense attitude. JesBible chemistry supringly clicked well. It is just wow 2 different timelines along with current timeline made me soo anxoius if they are going to stay in any timeline but ultimately coming back to reality is also kindof informing us even though our past effect our present but we still can change things around to move forword the life we wanted.
10/10 JUST SUPERB!!! This drama is just amazing. I will say one of the best in this genre (fantasy). The fact that it's so unpredictable, cope with great scripts, amazing acting, that by itself make it a 10 out of 10 for me. Believe me, there is so much to its arsenal. Smart, gritty, bloody, heart warming, heart wrenching, to name a few. Oh yeah let's assemble one of the most diverse and powerful casting I've seen so far, in a Korean fantasy show. That ladies and gents, is a recipe for an instant classic. l've watched 100s kdrama, never seen anything quite like it. So do yourself a favor, GO WATCH IT!!! And thank me later.

10/10 Absolut cinema It simply has the best plot in existence, a great story, I loved the part that shows the flashbacks telling how everything happened. The best possible performances! I will never forget this series. Looking forward to the second season. I totally loved how everything is told, and for sure the second season will surpass itself even more.
10/10 Amazing I think l've finally found my new all-time favorite thriller. The action is non-stop, and there are so many crazy twists that it keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. Mercy for None is definitely an action-packed thrill ride. If you like bloody, brutal fights, you'll love this show. It's not for the faint of heart, for sure, but I couldn't take my eyes off of my screen for a second. It's one of those shows where the plot unfolds gradually, but there are enough hints and clues to keep you guessing. The pacing is so perfect. There are plenty of tense moments, and lots of quick cuts, but the show never feels too hectic. The fight choreography is absolutely incredible. I never thought anything could top the martial arts in John Wick, but I was seriously impressed with the fight scenes in Mercy for None. Every single one of the fights felt believable and realistic, and the stunts and visual effects were perfect. I also like that they put a ton of creativity into the fights, and the action sequences are designed to blend into the narrative really well, so they don't feel completely out of place. so I already knew he could act, but I wasn't expecting his performance in this one to be on another level. He delivers the lines convincingly and never misses a beat, and the fight scenes are so detailed. I thought Mercy for None was a bit of an odd choice to cast So Ji-Sub. He plays a former gangster, which isn't exactly a typical character for him, and yet he does it perfectly.
10/10 Highly recommended! 2 episodes in and i must say, i consider this drama as one of the best kdramas of 2021. The cast, the plot, the cinematography, the background music and osts!!! Everything is good!!! Im not even exaggerating. This is such a must watch kdrama. I just find myself in awe with the camerworks and editing skills of the series. The casts chemistry are also on another level. I recommend you guys to watch this!! Tou wont regret.
6/10 Sins of kujo The story is quite good, and we can connect with some of the characters, especially our main hero (Taiza Kujo) and his sidekick (Shinji Karasuma) and the final anti-hero (Kengo Mibu). All three have their own level. Kujo and Mibu, in particular, have great chemistry, and the other characters have done a good job. However, the show moves slowly enough to understand the story better, which can be quite boring. Sometimes the show could have been a little shorter. You're also an honest one-time watch.
10/10 An excellent Chinese TV series with promising young actors This is a funny Chinese TV drama leading with very promising Chinese young actors, especially Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo.Xiao Zhan is a unprofessional actor, but he presented a very excellent performance. His role is quite hilarious and charming. I enjoyed the fantastic story and the drama. You won't miss it if you love ancient Chinese TV series.
10/10 An honest review The plot of the movie is far from the book but the artists who portray the characters gave justice to the story. The cinematography is also world class and it's one of the best Filipino series that i've watched so far. Kudos to the whole HIH team! Donbelle's (main characters) chemistry is also out of this world. I can't wait for season 2.
10/10 Sweet, but still suspensful Having watched the 2001 original taiwanese version and being a HUGE fan of Boys over flowers I went into watching this series thinking it wouldn't be able to live up to it's successors. Despite being almost carbon copies of the previous two versions, this version stood up very well against them. Firstly, the actors are so attractive. Daoming Si and Huaze Lei are my favourites and the fact that I can't pick who I prefer between the two establishes the fact that the casting was done EXTREMELY well. Even the main character Shancai was sweet and innocent but still likeable. She definitely has that "naive" look I think the main character needs. The plot moved well and there were plenty of cute and romantic moments but a decent amount of tearjerking scenes to make this series not overly sugary and unrealistic. Lastly. THE SOUNDTRACK IS SO DAMN GOOD, I'm listening to it right now hehe. If you guys haven't started watching it yet I highly recommend to start! You won't regret it! :)
10/10 So so so good This is the first adaptation where I can see the development of their characters, so I actually want ml to win for the first time. I'm obsessed with them, I wish I found out later tho, I am not patient enough to wait a week every episode
10/10 This series has blown my mind. Hands down!! Must watch.! Dont even think twice. I went into this show for a normal korean highschool genre but what I got is way beyond I could have imagine. I directly watched it without synopsis and trailer and yes it has just blown my mind. Many K dramas have touched the subject of bullying but none were like this. This show has gone to the depth of the reality. This shows depicts what happen when one does not give in to the bullying. What happens when one actually fights back. This show puts forward two aspects of friendship. The one where you can give your life for your friend. And the one where you can also take life of your friend. MUST WATCH !!!!!!!!! POV - Binge it.
10/10 A Rare K-Drama Gem! This series plays like an audio book. The dialogues are fast, witty and rich in philosophy. The series is full of surprises and twists. It deals with relationships where comradery, love, friendships are explored in a deeper level. It does not follow typical k-drama cliches. You are expecting one thing to happen but something completely surprising and insightful occurs. If you are into the contemporary Korean language and want to learn more of literary devices such as alliteration, onomatopoeia, pun and etc, you will not be disappointed with this series. The current translation cannot convey all of it, but does a decent job.
10/10 EXCELENT Some princessandthepeabody dude said that there are better k-dramas out there. Absolutely true! Does this mean this drama is a 1/10? :)) 100% not. I really hope there are true drama lovers out there! People who know what 1/10 really means! Come on, guys! This drama is way better than that! Just mentioning...
