I've only been watching Thai BLs for a short time and some are wonderful and others are most definitely not, this is one of those. They love cashing in on their sequels or placing the same actor couples in multiple films and their sledgehammer product placements and I get all that, its a business, they are ultimately their to make money. But.... but... just because the first one was popular isn't a good enough reason to make another especially if the script sucks and the main actor has no desire to be in it I only recently was made aware of the public battle of the managers of Saint and Perth and how this totally unprofessional what seems like p***ing match destroyed the future of this franchise. But honestly this film should definitely not have been made... its an insulting disaster to any fan of the original. Dumping the Saint (main actor) because of petty squabbles and have Perth's character moan and weep and be a douche in every episode did not help the actor one iota, no wonder he wants out of the BL universe. But the worst sin was to rewrite the Can/Tin storyline, I mean that was unforgivable. I never believed in them as a couple, they don't work in my opinion. Honestly only watch this if you are desperate or else just forget it ever existed in the first place and enjoy the first series as a standalone.

kinda strange but cool in an odd ball way.

Its only been two episodes so obviously things can change, but its quirky and interesting, a little cheesy but that's okay and chock full of crazy off the wall characters. I have no idea where this is going other than I guess the two will solve crimes together, we've really only been introduced to the leads who of course do not like each other at all at the moment. Its strange and that's a big tick for me. I'm enjoying the zaniness of it and all the other characters that surround these two are just as clearly nuts. I'll come back and redo this review further into the story. I'd definitely recommend this right now. Oh episode two when MFL is basically drooling over convenience store guy, her character is supposed to be mid thirties I found that very cringe but thats all i've got to whinge about right now. Why I labelled the music so low is honestly it hasn't stood out for me, not that its bad. It does feel a little dated apart from the intro music by Joo-heon from Monsta X which I really like even if it doesn't seem like it matches the series but is still appealing because of exactly that, it feels like a weird mismatch..

Ending review OMG its 'finished' and it was whacka doodle right up till the very last second. This show was actually a blast to watch, but if you are a judgemental person and enjoy a well thought out plot, you will loathe this with every fibre of your being... It has serious elements like a serial killer running rampant through a town, cheating husbands, abusive grandfathers. It has some pretty eye wateringly dumb writing to further the plot bunny, just go with the flow and don't think about the ridiculousness of it all, just keep chugging along and not wonder how the ML's have survived yet another bizarre plot twist. Its meant to be weird and crazy, It can't possibly be by accident , it has to be by design right? . I can't say Ive ever watched a Korean show like it, its kinda insane and I think this series will stick in my brain for a very long time to come.

Can't help smiling

I have not seen every episode but this woman is a South Korean national treasure, she's so brilliant and funny. I mean she's a singer and dancer and she does her thing and she's bold and brassy and doesn't pull punches. I feel like there's no one like her out there in Korean Tv land. She's confronting and hilarious and maybe sometimes she makes people, celebrities a little uncomfortable but so she should, one thing she is never ever boring. I'm so glad she's out there shaking things up a bit, we need more people like that. Its a joy watching her put celebrities on the spot.

Cute....

I'm only reviewing this after only 1 episode and not having read the manga but I kinda love it. Japanese humour I just adore, it's that over the top craziness that I personally connect with. Very pretty main leads, interesting array of side characters. The premise of this reminds me of Kieta-Hatsukoi with the popular lead thinking the more chaotic lead has fallen for him, so bumbling guy pretends and then actually does fall for the guy. Hopefully that makes sense. I'm imagining it will be light, sweet and best of all lacking in too much drama. Sometimes you just need fun fluff and this looks like this will be right up my alley.

I'm sorry, but no....

Admittedly I couldn't make it to the end of the first episode. The chef (one of the male leads) made this Michelin star type 5 star meal for his doctor wife-to-be and she threw it in the garbage. This same woman just looks super bored with him, kissing patients and ignoring him basically and when she shows up late to some hair/makeup appointment he boldly utters something along the lines of "You don't have to say your sorry because you're my woman' and then proceeds to kiss her into submission. OMG by then I'd had enough of this drivel, possibly the worst line ever, I'd have decked him. I think I might have thrown up in my mouth with that 'zinger' of a line. If I'd watched anymore I'd have no respect for myself. I'm guessing it gets better (from reading other reviews) but by this moment I loathed every character I would have been happy if they'd died in a burning inferno...the ...end...
