A BL that feels new and has a good ending!
The story line thankfully is different from every other BL i have watched. Each episode makes sense, it is not too fast or too slow, and always interesting. The actors are great, and the romance is slow in the first episodes but never boring. I do not usually watch bl's for the second time but if you do, this one would be a good choiceWas this review helpful to you?
New and interesting to watch
The actors were good, the music good and the storyline new!I think having a better production would push this bl to an 8-9, some scenes had bad audio, some others just didnt connect with the rest. It was refreshing watching something we dont see often in bl's, and hope there are more like this one in the future!!

too many expectations! disappointed
i was a bit sceptical at the start, the storyline felt unstable but thankfully it all came clear in episode 3. My fav couple is gao tu with shen, and although we didnt get as many scenes as id like, it was good. The music and acting were fine, sometimes a bit weird but nothing unwatchable. The last episode was disappointing- not only did the story for the main couple feel rushed, but the second couple was more of a "dont forget to add this here to get it over with". Didnt make much sense and if they had thought this over and gave us a clearer ending, it would have been 10/10.Was this review helpful to you?
Cringe. Can the actress not act like a baby all the time?
I am very glad this only has 23 episodes. Each one was spend with me skipping most scenes, hoping to find a good one eg second lead couple, in which the actors are not acting like a baby.The main actress has many skills and is good at acting but i hate seeing her pout, cling to people in an obvious way that shows to everyone she is supposed to look cute. I get it but id rather not have to see her every second acting like a baby.
Storyline had a lot of potential, but the main character baby style ruined everything.

Not a full on dating show. felt like some were only there to become "known"
It was different from other romance shows, more of a "come and see what happens". Pretty similar to another thai tvshow but it's main goal was for the guys to get recognized by the bl casting team... Joong was my fav here, very funny and real, and then for the worst I would say Tino or Be. Tino is nice, nothing wrong with him, i just felt like this wasnt a show for him. He could get so much more help from different shows especially knowing he tried to commit before. Be for me was a side character, I didnt watch many scenes with him, and felt like he was the least genuine but like i said i mostly watched joong/grit.Was this review helpful to you?
Worst than season 1
Season 1 was nice and different to all other storylines I have seen before. There were a few meh moments here and there but nothing too bad. Season 2? Was very excited and thats what ruined it. I expected the storyline to progress, stay different and unique, give us the same emotions but with more intensity. Not only did the storyline get super messy, but it became unwatchable. It felt like i was forcing myself to go through each episode. The cast was the same as before, which i liked, but the plot was really going from bad to worst, at many moments i found myself closing my eyes from how bad and toxic it was.Was this review helpful to you?
Not as good as the reviews said, the acting was super bad i had to skip
1) too fast paced, kinda makes no sense2) the acting was bad. Facial expressions and body language looked very "dont forget to do that".
3) the story itself is ok. It has a main point, good scenes and memorable ones.
4) The music wasnt anything new, just like most asian dramas it just wasnt not a wow factor like cutie pie the series.

I had gone through all negative reviews, and was expecting the worst
Chinese dramas usually have the same issue- unrealistic storylines, with over exaggeration and rushed romance at the end.Which means...
We are used to it, do not really take it as a negative, but more of a "we cannot change it". That's the Chinese style.
Saying that, the reviews that said the plot is crazy and that the FLs actions and past doesn't make sense, THEY DO.
From episode 1 we say the FL isa "bad" woman, however she does help a man, saves his kid (twice) and makes him happy with "magic tricks". That's her. Supposed to be mean, but knows wrong from right. It only gets better from there.
One negative issue I have is the ML doesn't suit the role, great as an actor but not as the ML here (personal opinion, does anyone else agree?)

Lots of questions
First of all why were Nari's scenes super short and her story ignored most of the time? Why did none of the friends care for her if shes supposed to be in the friend group? Why did they kill her and didnt even go to pray for her like they did to the first guy? There was no explanation, no reason as to why one of the side characters was randomly killed. The main girl is not as good as the others think, she changes the curse, then killed Nari and lived normal after that. The two guys were involved but it just felt like they were side characters too, because everything somehow ended up surrounding the girl with the short hair.Was this review helpful to you?
Could be 10 episodes instead of 23
Skipped many episodes towards the middle and end. Plot was good at first but then it felt like i was watching ads. Not much wow going on, same troubles, different places.Romance? hmmm if you like an 8 year difference then sure. if not? no. I found the male a bit too narcissistic, toxic if youd like. Thats what happens in pretty much all chinese dramas i have watched.

First 10/10 for me
If i could id have chosen 10 stars not 5 lol. Story line makes sense. Although some fighting scenes are a bit on the extreme side, I like that it tries to show perseverance gets you to success. It's realistic in terms of studying, sometimes effort doesnt always mean good result, but these characters never give up.Was this review helpful to you?
Great storyline- but didnt like the ending
Loved the series, and i watched all episodes without getting bored or skipping many scenes. The actors and actresses were great, the emotions were reaching the audience, and the music was nice too. I would give it a 10 if the ending didn't feel so empty... The lead protagonists went through too much but they didn't get a happy ending. Id rewatch it only for the 31 episodes and skip the last!Was this review helpful to you?
What do you think?
i like it and hate it1) ice didnt act well at the first 5 episodes. Idk if he did it on purpose but it didnt look believable at all. Saint was great from start to finish
2) the side couples (wxw, bxb) are cringe to the point i had to skip their scenes. Especially the two guys, the acting is bad, the "jealous" scenes look forced, their eye contact insufferable.
3) the crazy ex and the professor? im traumatised, it went on for so long and the "reactions to their actions" felt rushed at the end eg when the professor was caught in the moment. Even saint's dad was against them the whole time and on the 13th episode he said hmm okay (????)
4) the music is great as it is in most bls
the ending was better than most of the episodes, but i doubt i will rewatch this ever again

If only their budget was double!
The story at first reminded me a lot of Alice in Borderland- cool games, great scenario and a storyline that makes sense. I would have loved to see more games especially for the 8 episodes, one on each or maybe two would have made it more fun to watch (instead of multiple mini games). would definitely watch a second series, hopefully they spend more than they spent here, because it has great potential!!!!!Personally- Aom was a character that I couldnt bear to watch, the "omg idk what to do moments" were too cringe. Did you think the same?

Good but confusing
The story at times was really good and at other times it was a bit "huh?". It was a new type of plot -at least for me-, and it had a great potential. The acting was good however i didnt like how the actress was showing emotions, it didnt feel as natural as the male lead. Would probably not rewatch as i think that would make me find more things i dont likeWas this review helpful to you?
