Una serie sull'amicizia e sui primi amori
Da dove posso iniziare? Questa è la tipica serie adolescenziale incentrata sull'amicizia, sui primi amori, sulle cotte segrete e sulla vita scolastica. E' anche caratterizzata da una tonalità comica, piena di battute e momenti divertenti, ma anche con qualche scena commuovente.Quando l'ho cominciata non mi stava piacendo, troppo incentrata su un sistema scolastico idealizzato, una vita troppo lontana dalla mia e nella quale non riuscivo a ritrovarmi poiché un po' troppo onirica e con situazioni un po' fuori dal comune (ad esempio gli strumenti che vengono regalati ).
La comicità, che ho trovato un po' troppo esagerata e fuori luogo ai fini della storia e che non si ferma mai davanti ai momenti romantici ( dobbiamo aspettarcelo dalla GMMTV), viene spezzata quando veniamo a conoscere il passato doloroso di Gun.
Verso gli ultimi episodi il carattere diventerà un po' più serio e interessante, e si verrà rapiti dai momenti più emozionanti e soprattutto dalle ost stupende. La musica è infatti il punto forte di questo show, che ci regala canzoni molto carine e stupende esibizioni musicali.
Purtroppo sono ancora presenti troppe pubblicità all'interno degli episodi, come se non bastavano i troppi momenti "spiritosi" a rovinare tutto, e ciò abbassa molto la qualità della trama e della produzione, come anche i cliché (carne alla griglia)
Per quanto riguarda i personaggi ho trovato particolarmente divertente Tew (come tutti i personaggi divertenti, interpretato da Mark Pakin) col suo potentissimo gay-radar. Anche Por, d'altronde, è un personaggio molto carino, gentile, altruista e divertente e mi sarebbe piaciuto vedere uno sviluppo nella loro storia
Inizialmente ho apprezzato di meno la coppia secondaria di Sound e Win, siccome non impazzivo per quest' ultimo, col suo caratterino irascibile, ma è una bella storia anche la loro, inaspettata e un po' insolita.
Molto carina anche la dichiarazione di Yo a Nook.
Nel complesso, sarebbe stato interessante conoscere meglio la storia di ogni personaggio (basta pensare a Path che viene totalmente messo da parte, o anche a Jorn, personaggio difficile da capire).
Per quanto riguarda i protagonisti, Gun e Tinn, non c'è altro da dire se non che sono adorabili. Carina anche la madre di Gun mentre quella di Tinn non mi è piaciuta molto.
Come in Moonlight Chicken, i protagonisti affrontano anche la scelta del futuro e dell'università, grazie anche all'aiuto di un consulente scolastico.
È quindi la serie ideale per chi vuole vedere qualcosa di divertente, leggero e vuole ritrovarsi nella storia di studenti liceali che guardano al proprio futuro, con una tonalità di malinconia al pensiero di separarsi.
Ora non mi resta che vedere i due episodi speciali (My school president X our skyy 2) e ho paura di cosa posso aspettarmi, spero che non rovineranno la serie e la storia

Unexpectely a really good series, compelling and touching
I really didn't expeted to like this series so much, since I had watched Discipline like 4 years ago and I didn't like It at all.I mean, this time I really liked the plot. It was interwined and It included the them of immortality, a bit of crime, hacking, friendship and a really cute love Story with one of the characters from the first part, Ji Han, Just come back from France to Korea. Ji Han and Asin Story literaly made my heart flatter.
It is unusual that I get passionate about something in this way, and it's the first time that I get passionate about a korean series (parte from Color Rush maybe), since I dont like them at all. This time I found It really good.
I didn't like the vague ending, but I like tò imagine that Ji Han and Asin and Hyung Tae and Jay will have a Happy ending together. I liked their friendship group and I liked Ji Han and Ashin as a most of all. I really hope in a sequel, but I'm not fooling myself, I already know I won't get It, since this series Is 4 years old and we don't have any news.
I don't have lot to say, It was short but intense.
We see western actors speaking english and korean, and korean speaking english, because some parts are set in France (if I'm not wrong there are also parts in French).
In the last episode there Is a bit of violence and maybe too much paranormal that ruins the story a bit, but in the complex I found it amazing, don't ask me why.

An inclusive and worn series that deals with many topics
What we have to appreciate the most is the fact that the series focuses on a poor family (It reminds a lot of an italian novel of the nineteenth century, with all the tragedies), instead of usual rich engeneering students and doctors.The stories of many characters are interwined and interesting, expeccialy Li ming and Heart one (the main reason to watch the series, in everyone's opinion).
On the other side, I don't like the fact that Wen and Jim story starts with love at first sight and sex. This could really be avoided because it ruins the plot and gives a bad impression about the series at the first episode. However, Wen will do everything to conquer Jim, starting by working for him.
Then we have Saleng, portaied by Mark (always starring the funnies second character), forced to marry his wife Praew after getting her pregnant, but not having enough money to marry her and to rise his future son.
Another thing I appreciated about him is the fact that he expeesses his support to gender equality. He doesn't matter what will be his son gender, he will grow up them the same way (no gender role).
Than we have Li ming (Jim nepew), that finds himself working for the parents of Heart, a deaf teenager that have been forced to stay home since he lost hearing (3 years) due to an accident.
With Li Ming we finally have a character that, being poor, doesnt see a future ahead of him, so he decides that he doesn't want to sign up for university but he rathers work. Finally a characters where most of the teenagers can find themselves.
Then we have Gaipa. Gaipa story should have been developed better because it is really interesting. Gaipa is in love with Jim and has a really good relationship with his mother. He helps her at work and she comforts him a lot. Their relationship is really touching.
Unfortunately Gaipa story is not happy. We all hope that one day he will find happiness with Alan (Wen ex). We feel Khaofirst sexual tension ?
The series, beside of showing what people with financial probles have to deal, shows also what people in same sex relations deal. It also reflects disabilities.
In conclusion, what makes this drama amazing is its inclusivity and all the problems it faces.

The 109th series I've watched is the best one
This is the first Series I review, after 108 watched. I just wanted to say this Series is Amazing and everyone should definitely watch it. It's full of plot Twist, emoticons and passion. The storyline is good and the characters are interesting. This drama Made Me Cry at every episode, more than the others. Even music and ost are all good and I saved EVery Song. This drama includes a sweet lovestory, crime, jealosy, plot Twist, family love...This drama Is perfect in every detail. From the setting, with the wonderful thai beaches, to the dialogues between the characters (Palm and Nueng, Nueng and his mother, Ben and Chopper...). I'm mad at the bad review cause this series really stole my Heart and everyone should Watch It.

The most intrigued and traumatizing BL I've ever whatched by far
I have a lot to say about this series. First of all, I've been really impressed about the emotions It conveys. A BL series has never left me awake at night to cry about all its breakouts. The Story made me feel anger, sadness, jealosy, happyness, passion and love of the characters.I liked the Story for the fact that It was intriguing, but It was to problematic and full of betrayals, and I didn't like that.
I wanna talk about the characters.
First of all, the one I've liked the most from the beginning of the Story... NICK. I mean, why does so few people like him. He Is perfect, he is cute, romantic, he Always gives another chance to Boston even if he breaks his heart and makes him cry, Just because Nick Is too in love with him. He Is also a nerd and he Is cleaver, so, he Is a unique character I've never seen in BL and I dont think i'll see a character similari to him in the future. HE NEEDS A HAPPY ENDING.
Then there's Sand, who I think Is the most loved characters by all the fans. He also does everything for the person he loves, Ray, and Always forgives him, never getting angry. He even renounces to his Jobs for him. He refuses to keep working as a Singer so that Ray avoids alcool and, of course, he refuses to produce wine(?) for him.
I think Ray needed to talk to his father at the end.
Oh and take a Moment to appreckate him Just for his musical tastes (Arctic Monkeys!)
I don't have much to Say about Ray, I'm Just Sorry for his mental problems, and his alchool addiction, and his one-sided-love for Sand, but he has been very lucky to meet Sand who saved his Life a lot of times.
Then there's Mew. At the First episode i thought I would have liked this characters, for his being romantic and sensitive, but I changed my mind. I think he Is exaggerates when he takes revenge and I HATE when he tries to change himself.
Also... WHY IS EVERYBODY OBSESSED WITH HIM IN THE STORY? (Ray, Top, Boeing and the due at the end)
What to Say about Top and Ton? I didn't like them but they could have been treated better during the story. I'm Happy that Top had a Happy endings (even thought I disliked him for his rude way to approach to Nick and Ray), and I'm disappointed sbout Boston ending with Nick.
Then there are Chuen and April, two comfort characters Who didn't bring problems to the story. GO LESBIANS
At the end we have the worst character of the entire Story: Boeing. Ok, differently from Top, I'm glade he didn't have a Happy ending. He literaly didn't deserve It.
That's all. I can't believed Book and Force are coming to have a fanmeeting in Rome, at 1 hour from my house but i think I won't go cause tickets are too expensive.
