That mask is nightmare fuel
Some scenes might be intense for some people so just a warning!I LOVED THIS!! Idk why it's not rated higher. This show is incredible. I loved that it presented itself as a BL but the main focus was actually the horror. There are moments that it's actually quite scary, especially that mask. I loved getting to see the mystery unfold throughout the series. I loved the gore of it all as well. I thought some of the directing and camera shots they were doing were really cool too! Loved it!
All the characters were so interesting. Loved getting to learn about what they were like before coming to the house as well as seeing what they would do in the face of danger. I also loved that there wasn't anyone who was a "good guy". They were just regular people who did some real shitty things in their lives.
I also loved the ending, though I know some might not. I can see why people wouldn't like the ending, but I personally loved it. Loved that they give you false hope thinking they made it out when they actually didn't. If you haven't read some of the theories about the ending, you should!
I can't praise this show enough. Highly recommend!
JUSTICE FOR WHITE! HE DID NOTHING WRONG :( And poor Non, He really went through the ringer :(

It's almost perfect
So sexy!!I loved this so much other than the ending. This show had me hating to wait for the next episode every day because it was so good! Absolutely loved it!
The two main characters had such amazing chemistry with each other and I loved watching all their scenes together! Their kissing was pretty good too! I loved them together and as individuals as well!
The only reason I can't give this a perfect score is the ending. I personally hate open endings, especially in something like this where romance is the main focus. Open endings do work for some stories, but this isn't one of them. I hate that we don't know if they really end up together or not, or if one of them dies or not. The finale episode felt a bit rushed, which I know happens a lot in these shorter episode series which is super unfortunate.
That being said, I would still highly recommend the series! Amazing story, characters, and chemistry!

So much potential but it fell flat
This story was cute but definitely frustrated me multiple times. I liked the characters for the most part, but a lot of the things they kept doing were annoying. The story had potential to be a lot better, but it was not fleshed out as well as it could've been. The relationship between Tan Yin and Liu Ming Lang felt so off to me. Not chemistry or acting wise or anything, just character wise. Their relationship was just so strange, especially after the whole brother thing was revealed.Was this review helpful to you?
Gotta love a toxic relationship
The chemistry between King and Uea is great since the actors were together at the time. The spice was pretty good as well. I think a lot of people will one spicy scene in particular because you don't see it on screen like that too much.I feel like a lot of Uea's trauma gets overlooked. I feel like they take it very lightly and move past it super quickly or just don't care, so that's not great. The relationship is toxic, like most shows to be honest. So if a toxic relationship isn't your cup of tea, then you might not like this one.

Almost nothing happens
An interesting watch...a little strange but I've seen weirder. Thought more would happen between them to be honest. The most intimate scenes were all in the human's head. The characters were pretty likeable. Acting was fine. Nothing too exciting about the series to be honest, just overall pretty mid.Was this review helpful to you?

The ending is...interesting (slight spoilers)
Absolutely incredible! The new characters who were introduced were just as interesting as the characters in season one. I do wish we got more Chishiya because he's such an interesting character. There's just never enough Chishiya if we're being honest.Loved a lot of the games in the season and thought it made it more intense that even when they weren't playing a game they could get hunted down. Even if that guy had a bit of plot armor because no way her was that strong and unstoppable.
The ending was a lot. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love everything about it either. Do I think all those possibilities of what was happening was necessary? No. I do think it could've been done differently or that time could've been used for something else. Is it awful that they did that? Also no. I think they took a very interesting route with it. It was cool and I think led into season three nicely.

It's popular but still so underrated
This show is absolutely incredible! I know it's popular, but it should be bigger than it is. The acting, the storyline, the visuals are all amazing. This is such a unique concept, and it is done so well. I love all the different types of characters and seeing how they all play as well! Loved watching different relationships grow and fall apart throughout the show. These shows always make you think what you'd do if you were there and I love that so much!I love all the games in this season! The last one and tag were definitely my favorite in this season!
Just to talk about a couple of my favorite characters...Arisu is such a complex mc and I love him so much! I love Kento as an actor as well and he did amazing in this series!
Chishiya is the GOAT! KING! LOVE HIM WITH ALL MY HEART! Kuina is just such a baddie! MY QUEEN LOVE HER!

Incredible story telling but you can get easily confused!
This show was outstanding! I loved every second of it! Everything was very thought out from the very beginning, and you can tell the creators put a lot of thought behind everything. I loved the mystery of it all!! I definitely recommend taking notes unless you have an excellent memory because there is a lot to keep track of. I had a whole page of notes going by the time this show finished lol, but it helped a lot, so I didn't miss anything. The acting in the series was incredible as well! Can't recommend it enough!Was this review helpful to you?
Weird concept, weirder show
I kind of hated this drama to be honest. I know it was a weird concept to begin with, but it was somehow weirder than you'd think. I love both the main actors, but this show was not it. The best thing and only saving grace about the show were the kissing scenes, those were amazing, other than that the show was quite bad.Was this review helpful to you?
Disappointing ending
I really liked the story up until the ending. I feel like they had some potential to do some really cool stuff with the ending and they just didn't. The ending just disappointed me. The acting was great though and I loved the chemistry between the main two characters! Loved seeing Bible in another series!Was this review helpful to you?
Perfection
This story was incredible! I try to stay away from time travel stories because I usually don't care for them too much, but I loved what they did with this one so much! Everything is so thought out in this series and I love it! The characters all have great chemistry with each other as well, whether that platonic or romantic. Can't recommend it enough! I've watched it a few times now and still love it so much!It also has two actors I absolutely love in it, Hyun-Wook & Ryeoun!

Season two part two
I think we all feel this season should have just been season 2 part 2 rather than being called season 3.I was shocked at how quickly they got rid of so many main characters from season 2 and we were just left with a bunch of nobody's. I think that's where they lost points for a lot of people. None of the characters in the end were enjoyable at all and they were all people nobody cares about so we didn't care that they died.
I've never like 456 and that didn't change throughout the series. He just always irritated me.
Min-su was such an unlikeable character for me from the beginning as well as player 100. I applauded when they died. Min-su was just a useless, weak character, and 100 was just a dick.
I didn't like 333 either from the beginning, but I know a lot of people who did, didn't after the finale. I personally wasn't surprised he was a bad person at all. I liked his ending a lot too.
I think my two favorite things about the season were 456 dying, and the beautiful friendship between 222, the mom, and Hyun-Ju.
I think since they plan on doing an American series and if so, then I think it ended perfectly to set that show up.
I love this show and still enjoyed the season. I just think we all know it got worse as it went on.

More vampires that don't act like vampires
This was okay. I wish people would stop making vampire stuff if they're not going to go fully into it with the blood sucking and biting. The chemistry between the main two was okay but not the best. Same with their kissing/spicy scenes, they were just mid. None of the characters were super enjoyable either and the big twist was super predictable.Was this review helpful to you?

I was here for the mess!!
This show was MESSY and I ate it up!! Loved it!! There was so much drama! I haven't seen the first Only Friends series, so I really didn't know what to expect going into this, but I loved it! I plan on watching the first one soon. I loved how it was all while putting on a play and getting to see that while everything else was happening. Some of the drama was a little stupid in my opinion, especially the fight that broke Jack and Dean as well as Arnold and Tua up. I thought it was a little ridiculous to cause a fight to begin with let alone breaking up. Other than that, I loved how dramatic and messy this show was.Jack and Dean:
Loved their chemistry! Earthmix just has such good chemistry with each other and I loved seeing them. Their spicey scenes were pretty good too. They are quite toxic but you kind of expect that with a show like this. I loved seeing how their relationship kept changing over and over. I'm glad in the finale they took a year away from each other so they could grow as people and be without each other for a while. I do think they will break up again tbh lol but they are cute together and truly mean a lot to each other.
Jack-I was so back and forth on how I felt about Jack. One minute I really liked him, the next I hated him. He's very toxic with how he treats Dean and how he treated Raffy as well. He stayed pissing me off.
Dean-My number two favorite character. Loved him so much! He was chaotic and a bit messy but was so fun to watch. I really felt bad for him too with his past and how people treat him. A lot of people were out to see his downfall, and he really didn't deserve that at all. My poor baby
Rome and Raffy:
I think they had some of the most iconic moments of the season for sure. They were my favorite pair and not just because I was happy to finally see AouBoom get a main role in something. Their chemistry is off the charts. I loved seeing their relationship develop and change over time too. I really think they are good for each other in a lot of ways.
Rome-MY FAVE CHARACTER! Loved him so much! He wasn't messy, he never pissed me off like a lot of the other characters and seemed to just be the most reasonable out of everyone. I liked when he stood his ground with Raffy about not just wanting to be a rebound for him. I LOVED when he punched Jack, that was the best. I could go on and on about him I loved I'm so much.
Raffy-He was messy. I'm glad he grew over the series because there were many times in the beginning that he was pissing me off. I loved him but hated him in moments too. I loved who he was by the end of the series. I was so happy when he told off Jack and started fighting for Rome.
Arnold and Tua:
This couple was the least exciting for me. I think because of the drama and crazy spicey scenes from the other two pairs, these two seemed a little boring. If this were a regular series, I think I would've enjoyed them more. They were so cute and wholesome and felt like a real relationship growing from friends to boyfriends. I just think it felt a little underwhelming compared to the chaos of everything else.
Arnold-He was a little dumb but had a big heart and good vibes lol. I liked him, wasn't my favorite but didn't have a problem with him either.
Tua-He was really nice and I liked watching grow more confident in himself over the show.
One thing I will say is I wish we got to see more of the friendships in the show. Dean and Tua are supposed to be best friends, but we saw them together so little that I would forget that all the time. So, their fight and even them forgiving each other didn't have as big of an impact as it could've. Same with the group of four (Jack, Dean, Tua, and Timmy). They mentioned a few times that they were all close, but we never saw all four of them together and we only really ever saw Timmy with Jack.
Boston also just seemed like such a useless character to me. They seemed to forget about him in the second half of the show too. Same with Gameplay he was just the most pointless character to me. Pete...this mf. He got no real punishment for all that he did and I hated that. He was stealing money and recorded that video and lied so many times but faced no consequences. So stupid.
I just loved this show so much and really enjoyed watching it! I'm going to miss it!!
