I really enjoyed this series. The cast is simply adorable. I have loved Title ever since TharnType 2 and Saur since You're My Sky. While I didn't really recognize he rest of the cast, they did a fantastic job in conveying their emotions and rounding out the characters. The storyline was definitely unique and interesting, and the screen writers did a great job keeping things moving in a timely manner. The music was okay, but maybe a little old fashioned for me personally. I really enjoyed the scenery and all the different parts of Thailand they helped us explore. While the makeup did get a little heavy handed a few times, it wasn't so overly done that it took away from anything. All in all, well done.

While Korean bl dramas have come a long way in a very short time, this series does not really reflect that. This series is on the lighter side, which is not in itself a bad thing; there's just not a lot of substance to it. It's 8 rather short episodes, and there's not a whole lot of plot that draws you in. There is a little bit of drama between Yul and his father and Yul and his ex-boyfriend, but there's not really anything that grabs you emotionally. Ye Chan is very goofy and almost seems to have a few screws loose. He's overbearing, and I didn't feel that the script really took time to developed the relationship properly between the two lead.

I really don't know how I feel about this series. It's obviously an older series but it popped up on iQiyi as Recently added so I figured I would give it a shot. The 1st thing I will say is that if you are expecting this to be a continuation of I Am Your King season one, it's not. Actually other than the fact that they both play the king game in the series, there is nothing relating the two seasons. It's different characters, a different storyline, different actors; there is absolutely no relation between season 1 and season 2. I don't feel like the acting was bad necessarily, it was really more of a screen writer issue I think. There were too many little plot twist that, while I did keep you guessing, didn't flow together smoothly. The most disappointing thing for me, however, was the ending. There was a lot of build-up and then I just felt robbed of a truly satisfactory wrap up to it all.

I love absolutely everything about this series. I love the fact that our female leads are in their late thirties. I love the fact that our male leads are in their forties. I love the fact that it depicts a huge variety of male and female personalities I love the female empowerment aspect without being overbearing. I love that the men are still manly, yet also have a sensitive side. I love the music, the storyline, the acting. This series might have bumped its way to my number 3 spot behind What's Wrong with Secretary Kim and My Roommate is a Guhmeo. Very well done.

I appreciate series like this and Lovely Writer that take a look at the ugliness that goes on behind filming dramas and what the stars go through. I like that this one has both BL and non BL storylines. Oftentimes there is a lot of jealousy that goes on behind the scenes as well as encouragement that we don't see on the outside; and unfortunately sometimes fans can get a little obsessive and take things too far and stars end up getting hurt. We're also given a taste of how actors can be mistreated or favored by their company that they work for.
*(update) that ending left this wide open for a season 2! Love the twist of ep12

Better but still not best

While I do appreciate the fact that the writers and directors knew that the series itself was lacking and attempted to make up for it with this one off; it was still slightly lacking some important elements. It was nice to see an actual complete problem they worked through all the way to the resolution, and Ping's acting skills definitely improved between the series and the short film. However Porsche and Arm are still the only other couple that we see in front of us. While we know Ton and Chol are "together", Chol never actually makes an appearance. The music didn't draw me in or putt me off, it was simply forgettable. That being said, it was a defined improvement, so I don't feel as though I wasted my time watching it.

This Korean boy's love series only has one thing missing... the boy's love portion. Seriously, it's like they sat around in a brainstorming session and thought, "How can we give every BL lover blue balls?" This was infuriating. I am so irritated that I watched this whole series with no good resolution. I'm not sure if they got through too much filming before they did any love scenes and the actors were like, "nope just can't do it." I don't know what happened but this series was not successful. It would have been more successful to make it a "bromance" and cut out any thought of actual romance between our 2 main characters at all.

Obviously the best bl series come from Thailand however Korea is really stepping up their game with bl's like Our Dating Sim. Similar to Semantic Error this series revolves around the design of an online game. However, the love story is entirely different and unique. I went through several different emotions over the course of the eight short episodes including a few tears. I was very thankful that these actors were not afraid to actually get in a real kiss, as too often we see our guys clam up and deliver passionless romantic scenes. Very happy with this one overall.

The story is both cute and extremely relatable. I think everyone has felt the urge to give up on love at some point in their life. And often times it's when we have given up that someone comes into our life and turns it upside down. The music was good, not truly anything memorable, but kept with the timing of the series. The cast was adorable, and while they are decent actors, my complaint is always when you can tell the bl actors are straight. Kissing scenes are always going to be your give away, and most of the time straight actors simply can't do a convincing kissing/intimate in Korean and Thai bls. Still, overall the story and acting were good and i would even consider this one rewatchable.
