went crazy
We are 20 seconds in, and I see candle wax. I loved that so much. The plot was written by a 12-year-old Wattpad writer, but I loved it. It felt nostalgic, and I loved it. It was all over the place, but the sex scenes went crazy. I added an extra star because of the bodyguard threesome scene. It went crazy. I liked it a lot, everyone got a redemption in the end, and I loved every second of this. My ADHD brain loved this and the chemistry of the people on screen. I loved every character a lot, and they portrayed the bad people so well that I was getting mad at them. And, of course, who doesn't enjoy some Mafia Romance? I didn't like how everything fell apart at the end, but there was a happy ending, implied sex, and everyone was happy, so I loved it, 9/10. Peace!Was this review helpful to you?
dragged out
I was going to watch this when it came out, but I had no time, and now I do, so I am about to start watching this in a few minutes. Finished it. Hot take: I liked the scattered plotting, the credits rolling as I wrote this, and I liked every second of this and the randomness. I'd give it a 9/10 because they dragged it out over the last two episodes. I liked the acting; it was cool. I'm happy I finally watched this! There weren't many scenes in which I felt like genuinely hurting someone on the screen, which was also a plus. They definitely could have ended it on the 10th episode. They had no reason to drag it out just to do the same thing. It could have ended sooner for sure.Was this review helpful to you?

Where does that leave me?
We are so back, because I am, for once, actually finishing shows in one go. I don’t even know if this is fully out yet, but it is for vip so I downloaded it for my plane ride. I would give it an 8 (8.3) out of 10, and I am going to say what I liked, what I didn’t, and then do an episode overview, so let's run it.Okay, starting off strong with our actors. I am currently still in the air, so I can’t look up the actors' names, but genuine props to these two sexy ass men. Just phenomenal acting all around. Whether that be their love story, the crime plot, all of it was really good because of them. And they have officially raised my standards for Korean BL. If you look at any of my reviews, you know I do not watch Korean BL at all and am a Thai BL girlie (hence me on a flight back from Taipei and in turn Bangkok), because the Korean BLs, either they have the worst chemistry ever OR THEY PECK ONCE AND THE REST OF THE SHOW IS A HARD WATCH. But these two did really well, especially with their kissing and their two sex scenes. Truthfully, I am very impressed, so good job to them. (ALSO, we did not use our height difference enough; I am irritated as fuck, irritated as fuck).
I also quite enjoyed the connected cases. I thought it was really easy to follow while still staying entertaining, so that was also a really good job. They gave us everything and didn’t randomly introduce characters last minute, so I mean, once again, good on them; love to see these plots non-convoluted and actually interesting.
On more stuff I liked. This first thing is lowkey so random and bullshit, but it still stood out to me as something I enjoyed: the slants at the end of the episodes. Like, I know that's so weird and random, and it just signals the end of the episode, but I actually really enjoyed that, like, oh my god. Another thing I am very much a slut for was when they were talking about the cases, and they were actually in them and reenacting them. God, that was great, oh my god.
Regarding things I didn’t like, the main thing was the romance building. See, I expected it to be bad because every single mystery BL or crime center BL has the worst romance building ever. But despite this, I am still ultimately disappointed, because I quite enjoyed our couple. But I guess it’s whatever.
On the topic of romance, these MOTHER FUCKERS ARE SO TOXIC, more specifically big daddy. God, he is like irritatingly toxic too, and in some parts it wasn’t even hot; it was just pissing me off. Also a lot of forced kissing and forcing himself onto the other guy (even though the other guy was into it after the 1st one). I feel like they could’ve pushed back their sex scenes or something so it didn’t feel out of the blue and random. But yeah.
Next up, with things I didn’t like, I’m gonna say plot holes, or I am sorry, irrelevant ideas. The case with the lady who killed her husband. What did that have to do with anything? I am actually so lost. I mean, maybe it was to get the audience’s attention on the son, but also it was just very irrelevant; I don’t know. I feel like they could have done more with that because it was quite interesting. (This is also loosely based on this topic, but this whole show is a conflict of interest lmao; every last case the two of them have a conflict of interest with). THE UNCLE was another plot hole that could’ve been greatness. Like, oh, I know they sent him to jail, but that felt almost too easy and overall irrelevant to the plot.
Also not really the biggest fan of the, I don’t know if it's AI or CGI, but it's sprinkled in here pretty randomly, and lowkey takes you all the way out of the show, so they need to cool the fuck down on that shit, oh my god.
And finally, for things I was not very fond of, was the ending. We spent what, 9, 10 episodes building up to this shit; we got the reveal with the son, which I very much enjoyed, and then the story folded and they are like, oh, we arrested everyone! Like what? I need my clarity, my revenge; I want to see them being taken away in handcuffs, not just AI. And their whole getting into a relationship pissed me off, silly. Like why did that even feel rushed? Girl bye. ALSO, did we ever find out if Lee's dad was innocent or what? They should have made that more clear.
Episode overview time!!! Just funny shit I have written in the notes app about this show. Episode 1: “Lowkey about to miss my layover in Taipei because my Bangkok flight is delayed but you know at least I have Korean bl...hopefully these two aren't awkward kissers I beg.” Episode 2: “Bitch, what the fuck was that? HELLLOOO???? Why did we start choking him out? I am so lost, and why did we kiss him if we hate him? AH NAH. That's a lawsuit incoming, but we aren't locked in enough. Nah, the whole police department coming down if this was me. Lee, step your shit up, dude.” Episode 3: “They need me on this team, I swear to god. Inspector a bitch for the love of the game. Like I need a really good reason for you not to like Lee, that's not he's the son of a murderer because what does that have to do with him, I'm confused?” I now understand lmao. Episode 5: “Lee just got stabbed, but I really couldn't take it seriously because it was the music that they played in the sex scene of my stubborn so I thought they were about to fuck, but he just got stabbed.” Episode 7: “We got a random half-ass sex scene thrown at the start because Lee likes poking the emotionally unstable bear with a flaming dildo dude.” Episode 8: “Also, I don't know why we are making this a big deal. He made it very clear that he hated you and wanted you gone, and you didn't suspect why? Like, he made it clear that he hated you because you are a murderer's son; you ever wonder why? We lack common sense and it shows. I am impressed we have both made it this far in the world with this little common sense. I do wish that he was the evil lady's son; that would have been a fire fucking twist, oh my god.” Episode 9: “Once again, they need me on this team pronto. But yeah, the director coming to his house to choke him out was ACTUALLY CRAZY.”
Yeah. It’s a short watch, so I would say check it out. The romance building is ass, but it’s still enjoyable because the plot is very continuous. Okay bye!

This was very whimsical
I know this was 15 minutes long, but it will still get a review from me because I love writing lmao. I will give it a 9 (8.9) out of 10, and truthfully, there is no plan for this review; I am just going to rant.For starters, this was really cute, and Dee Hup needs to lock in and make this a full series; I will help fund it, I swear to god. I have grown to love Tee and Heng so much, so I actually don't play about them.
If you are looking for a well-thought-out show, this is not for you, like at all. But if you want whimsicalness and joy because you are currently watching don't be too emotional and getting your heart dragged through the mud, ESPECIALLY with the most recent episode; this is so for you. I loved this so much, and it would have been perfect if we got a kiss, but you know what a girl can dream.
I loved how cute they looked in this, especially with Heng in the glasses; I love him with glasses, my lord. Also, Tee with his hair down and actually not evil I love to fucking see it; so cute. I would give my life for these fools.
Regarding the plot, they also had a love-at-first-sight kind of vibe, which was really cute. And then that kind of gave way to this repetition that also felt really cute, so good for y'all, because we actually did our big one with this shit. The whole thing where he falls onto his lap was adorable; I am a fool for that shit, I can't lie. And yeah.
Here is my final quote from the final episode: "Maybe get off the Gemini dupe and go talk to him bruh. They are adorable lmao. AWEEEEE THEY ARE SO CUTE. DUMB ASS SHOW. THIS WAS VERY CUTE."
Loved this; it was cute, so just go check it out because it is 15 minutes in total, bruh. Okay bye!

I NEED A SEASON 3 BADLY
Okay, so I wrote individual reviews for each show, so you can go on my profile and check them out if you are feeling freaky, but this is just as much as I can fit with my drama list review limit, so enjoy. Overall, this show got an 8.5 out of 10 from me, and I am going to go in order of the shows and put the most important things (This is the same review as my normal one; I just need this for my end-of-the-year review so it's even lmao).Besides the Sky: The Day the Music Died
Starting with the plot. I think they could have done it a bit better, but I like the whole thing with the sister, even though I really should hate it; I thought it was pretty good. I just wish they wrote it out a little bit better because there were still a few plot holes. But god, it just made me so sad, the whole thing with the sister and how he is a disappointment because of that, so I guess the writing was pretty good. This is also what I wrote the headline off of, because the day she died, everything after that was terrible for Typhoon.
Once again, just like the original, the romance and character writing was phenomenal, and I am actually gagged. Every character felt like a real person, because they were brought to life in that way. I also think that, because of that, some parts had the same charm as the first one, so I liked that too. (They did jump the gun with their romance, though, which I am not very fond of).
They have such good chemistry, so I quite enjoyed their kissing and all that. EAT EATING ATEEEE, BECAUSE I DON'T PLAY. I also love the actors' off-screen chemistry too, and it is always a joy to see them on my four you page (or should I say fourever you page (see what I did there, I will be here all day bruh or until I finish all my reviews for this show lmao)).
I LOVE WHEN THE FRIEND GROUP IS ALL TOGETHER, OH MY GOD THAT'S BETTER THAN ANY SEX SCENE.
Regarding things I didn't like, the start was so incredibly lackluster, my lord. I loved season 1, and I would give my life to watch that again for the first time, so my standards were very high for this. And I was ultimately let down by the start of this one. I feel like we were just thrown into the deep end of lore that halfway made sense and expected to swim. AND let's just say, I didn't swim. I was fucking DROWNING BITCH.
Next up was our 'wolf in sheep's clothing.' So before I go on the rant that I am about to go on, I wanna preface that I love Bever and Tonliew, and they have such good chemistry AND are amazing actors. But the power dynamic they have this is literally the most problematic thing ever, and it was really hard to ignore. The whole thing with Bever's character 'respecting him' was fine until he's like I am only doing this so you like me; I actually have no problem coming on to you. I didn't like that one bit, oh my god. Also, the fact that they grew up together makes the dynamic so much weirder, and I actually can't get behind it at all. Like, at least for the other character they are openly evil and at least are somewhat respectful; he's just not, and I don't fuck with that at all. Okay rant over...for now. My reaction for their dynamic changing lmao, "DYNAMIC CHANGE HELLO. CAUGHT MY REACTION ON INSTA. "I'm starting to lose my patience now." WHATEVER YOU SAY NEXT OR HAPPENS NEXT CAN'T EXCUSE THIS LINE AND THEIR DYNAMIC IS LOWKEY CHANGED FOR ME. Help. HELP. WHAT THE HELL, I CAN'T MOVE ON FROM THAT."
On top of that, there was a lot of bullshit in the episodes. I think that they needed to cool it on the filler, especially with how short it is; like, just tell me the fucking plot line before I get violent. Also, in regards to other bull shit, the confession bit was lowkey so bullshit. I was at a loss for words. I feel like they were doing too much when they should have just had a flat-out confession; stop giving me all this run-around shit and going back to this with lackluster ass shit. Some episodes were interesting for a little bit, and then they would go to this lackluster boring shit, like we are pissing me off, silly.
THE WAY HE FOUND OUT THAT TORFUN DIED SUCKKKK, OH MY GOD. Like, we built our love story off of her; what are we even talking about right now, huh? He was just kind of like Oh yeah, your sister's been dead even though she's been texting me; I have known for a while now. LIKE WHAT? That should have been a bigger deal. I am dead.
The Sun from Another Star: Sits at the top of the driveway
Starting off strong was the start. Unlike our previous couple, their start was actually really good, and I feel like it actually set this show up perfectly. It showed all of the characters as well as all the relevant background characters, and it was very to the point, which is always nice to see.
OH MY GOD. The next thing I liked was THE GIRL WHOSE BF DIED. I fucking loved that. And you know, I should hate that; I really should, because it was kind of an irrelevant plot line to take away from our main couple, but they made me wanna fucking BAWL MY EYES OUT. I loved every second of them, and I will never get them out of my head ever. I need a sequel where it is just them; I don’t play. God, they make me so sad. But I love them.
Going back to our main couple, I also loved taking things slow. It didn't really feel awkward; it lowkey felt just right, and I enjoyed that a lot, y'all have no idea. Just great with everything, including the love, because neither of us were quite ready for a relationship just yet, and we really need to grow as people before we grow together.
THE MOM. Okay, so I hate on San Francisco later in my review, but the fact that she died on Christmas and he spent so long trying to talk to her, and she was just dead. I don't know if I will ever be okay, because what the fuck. That was just so sad, and they brought that to life really well, so good job to them again (at the cost of my sanity this time).
Another thing I liked was, once again, the friend groups; they were so lovely to see, oh my god. Johan and Arthits' relationship was such a gift, and I love it. They are pretty similar and also not, but I just really enjoyed them on screen together even if they were arguing. Also, Arthit and North being close was also really cute (peak Bas with the middle part because I don’t play about him).
Moving on to things I didn’t like. WHY WERE WE ON SCOOBY DOO AH MANHUNT FOR THE FIRST COUPLE OF EPISODES, YALL GONNA PISS ME OFF SILLY I SWEAR TO GOD.
SAN FRANCISCO, KEEP MY SECOND HOME OUT OF YOUR MOUTHHHHH. THERE IS NOWHERE IN SAN FRANCISCO THAT LOOKS LIKE THAT; THE ENTIRE CITY IS ON TOP OF ITSELF. DON'T PISS ME OFFFFFF.
Regarding our love story, I think we did a good job at the start, and then when he asked him to be his boyfriend, it kind of felt like a middle finger to all the progress we were making, so that was kind of irritating. I just wished they spaced that out better.
On more stuff I didn't like, episode 14. If you have seen this, you know what happens here, and if you haven't, well, spoiler time...like always. There is a scene in this where Arhit comes onto Dao, and then Dao pushes him off after Dao kisses his neck and all that. And while he did apologize and they work through that, that was ultimately a dislike for me, because it felt kind of unnecessary in a way; I don't know, like he didn't NEED to come on to him. Just something about BL shows: they love their sexual assault. And well, I do acknowledge that this happens a lot in real life, and in that aspect it makes this a good representation; it felt very out of character for Arthit and along with that the storyline.
And then finally one short note on stuff I didn’t like: the final episode. Something about this season and their final episodes was just so lackluster and had me really disappointed. I feel like they set the standards so high and just wrecked them, like please can we lock in I BEG. But yeah, that’s kind of it for this one.
Lately, It's Winter Season: If they say why, why tell 'em that it's human nature.
Starting off with the plot itself and what I liked about it. It, like all of the parts before it, felt very natural. The characters, the plot (ignoring the mafia shit), everything about it felt so natural, and it really had that Fourever You charm that I have grown to love so much. I also liked how we got the very start of their love story all the way to the end instead of getting randomly thrown in there like the other parts. And I think this is lowkey due to them building this shit brick by brick; I can’t even lie to y'all right now. It was pretty slow burn with a lot of filler, but I gotta remember: don’t hate the player, hate the game. I was so excited for like everything in this show, because of the foundation that was laid for the house that was waiting to be built; like, I couldn’t wait for them to fall more in love and, well, in the end, date.
Kind of piggybacking off of the characters and plot, I quite enjoyed Nao’s character (I will get to crash out Suer in a moment, don’t y'all even worry). I said in my episode 17 review, “Nao being the less liked twin is WAY TOO REAL, LIKE WAY TOO CLOSE TO HOME, WHERE IS MY SUER ON GOD?” And as someone who is a twin and identical at that, God, this hit way closer to home than I ever expected, and that's because of the good character writing. It's not quite something you can understand unless you have lived it before, but growing up with your twin and basically always being together, then slowly becoming your own people, is so crazy to see in this drama format. And as someone whose twin is more liked than me, god, I feel for Nao. He's not resentful; he's just honest and kind of accepting of it, and I feel that so deeply in my bones; y'all actually have no idea.
Going more on what I liked regarding sibling relationships, we have Suer and his brother. Okay, so starting off, their relationship was really rocky, but it turns out his brother literally just wanted to protect him, and that made me so fucking sad, oh my god. Like, that's his baby at the end of the day, oh my god, because he doesn't play about him, not one bit. They were just both neglected by their father and, in turn, their mother, so when they should have stuck together, they were pulled apart. But then they came around, and I actually really loved that, and I thought that was really well written.
And of course, I said this in my other two reviews, but I love LOVE the connection with the other shows, especially with Johan. Like Suer calling him up, that was really fun, and I thought that was really cute. And then when we finally make it to the present, North pulls up, and it's so cute. God, I love them so much.
I also really liked Nao's reaction to Suer having a crush on him. Like it was this whole thing and Nao's like, there's no way, but shit, we are gonna make it work because I don't wanna lose you, and truthfully I thought that was adorable. Like it really showed character development and how he can grow to love him, which is really sweet and has me all the way dead. I really enjoyed that a lot.
Starting off with things I am not very fond of, is Suer. Well, he does come around, and it becomes endearing and cute; THE CRASH OUT WAS IRRITATING. Like, for no reason, we are picking fights, being annoying; like, actually, there comes a point, and we are so far beyond that point you have no fucking idea, my lord. Don't piss me off; just be in touch with your emotions. AND, every time he needed to fight for his love, specifically episode 21, HE IS TOO BUSY SERVING FACE! SUER LOCK YOUR DUMB BUMB ASS IN BECAUSE THERE IS ACTUALLY NO WAY.
More things I didn't like: a lot of shit felt very random. The first example that came to mind: THE DAD DIES OUT OF NOWHERE? LIKE HELLO? I don't understand why the dad just completely died out of nowhere. Like they should have written in that he was sick in the earlier episodes, so it didn't feel completely fucking random.
And finally, like actually finally, the ending. It was so lackluster and terrible, just like all of his counterparts. I feel like they set it up to be so good and then they just nuked that shit. It was boring, it didn't give our couple justice, and all of it just felt fucking random. Like we NEED TO LOCK THE FUCK IN, I swear to God, because I don't play about these two. God, I am so mad because I wanted their ending to be really good. Literally fuck y'all.
And well, that's it, my friends. I hope you enjoyed my long-ass reviews for this show. In the end, I really did enjoy these two seasons, and I really want another one because these two shows have brought me more joy than I would ever know, my lord. Please watch this and then the first season. Okay bye!

He's not resentful; he's just honest and kind of accepting of it, and I feel that so deeply in my bones; y'all actually have no idea.
Going more on what I liked regarding sibling relationships, we have Suer and his brother. Okay, so starting off, their relationship was really rocky, but it turns out his brother literally just wanted to protect him, and that made me so fucking sad, oh my god. Like, that's his baby at the end of the day, oh my god, because he doesn't play about him, not one bit. They were just both neglected by their father and, in turn, their mother, so when they should have stuck together, they were pulled apart. But then they came around, and I actually really loved that, and I thought that was really well written.
And of course, I said this in my other two reviews, but I love LOVE the connection with the other shows, especially with Johan. Like Suer calling him up, that was really fun, and I thought that was really cute. And then when we finally make it to the present, North pulls up, and it's so cute. God, I love them so much.
I also really liked Nao's reaction to Suer having a crush on him. Like it was this whole thing and Nao's like, there's no way, but shit, we are gonna make it work because I don't wanna lose you, and truthfully I thought that was adorable. Like it really showed character development and how he can grow to love him, which is really sweet and has me all the way dead. I really enjoyed that a lot.
Starting off with things I am not very fond of, is Suer. Well, he does come around, and it becomes endearing and cute; THE CRASH OUT WAS IRRITATING. Like, for no reason, we are picking fights, being annoying; like, actually, there comes a point, and we are so far beyond that point you have no fucking idea, my lord. Don't piss me off; just be in touch with your emotions. AND, every time he needed to fight for his love, specifically episode 21, HE IS TOO BUSY SERVING FACE! SUER LOCK YOUR DUMB BUMB ASS IN BECAUSE THERE IS ACTUALLY NO WAY.
More things I didn't like: a lot of shit felt very random. The first example that came to mind: THE DAD DIES OUT OF NOWHERE? LIKE HELLO? I don't understand why the dad just completely died out of nowhere. Like they should have written in that he was sick in the earlier episodes, so it didn't feel completely fucking random.
And finally, like actually finally, the ending. It was so lackluster and terrible, just like all of his counterparts. I feel like they set it up to be so good and then they just nuked that shit. It was boring, it didn't give our couple justice, and all of it just felt fucking random. Like we NEED TO LOCK THE FUCK IN, I swear to God, because I don't play about these two. God, I am so mad because I wanted their ending to be really good. Literally fuck y'all.
And well, that's it, my friends. I hope you enjoyed my long-ass reviews for this show. In the end, I really did enjoy these two seasons, and I really want another one because these two shows have brought me more joy than I would ever know, my lord. Please watch this and then the first season. Okay bye!

If they say why, why tell 'em that it's human nature
And we are back again for the final part of season 2 and, in turn, my final review; let's go. I lowkey don’t play about these two, so any negative things I say, take with a grain of salt because at the end of the day, I WOULD GIVE MY LIFE FOR THESE MORONS. Okay, so I would rate their part an 8.5 (8.625) out of 10. And of course I am gonna say what I like, what I didn’t like, and then do an episode overview; let's hit this shit to the beat bitches.Starting off with the plot itself and what I liked about it. It, like all of the parts before it, felt very natural. The characters, the plot (ignoring the mafia shit), everything about it felt so natural, and it really had that Fourever You charm that I have grown to love so much. I also liked how we got the very start of their love story all the way to the end instead of getting randomly thrown in there like the other parts. And I think this is lowkey due to them building this shit brick by brick; I can’t even lie to y'all right now. It was pretty slow burn with a lot of filler, but I gotta remember: don’t hate the player, hate the game. I was so excited for like everything in this show, because of the foundation that was laid for the house that was waiting to be built; like, I couldn’t wait for them to fall more in love and, well, in the end, date.
Kind of piggybacking off of the characters and plot, I quite enjoyed Nao’s character (I will get to crash out Suer in a moment, don’t y'all even worry). I said in my episode 17 review, “Nao being the less liked twin is WAY TOO REAL, LIKE WAY TOO CLOSE TO HOME, WHERE IS MY SUER ON GOD?” And as someone who is a twin and identical at that, God, this hit way closer to home than I ever expected, and that's because of the good character writing. It's not quite something you can understand unless you have lived it before, but growing up with your twin and basically always being together, then slowly becoming your own people, is so crazy to see in this drama format. And as someone whose twin is more liked than me, god, I feel for Nao.

Okay episode overview time. Episode 19: “SEASON 3 WITH FIELD AND NAOS BROTHER AND SUER'S BROTHER AND BEN OR WHATEVER.” Episode 20: "My nong suer with the heart bro that's his baby I can't." Episode 21: "SOME OF US LOOK LIKE HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS, AND SOME OF US LOOK LIKE GROWN MEN IN HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT UNIFORMS." "Tiger, you need to stop serving face and fight for your love, I swear to God. HE SMILED. I am praying he does not dye his hair back to the weird brown color because he looks so good with the black hair. Also, p’johan, THIS CAN'T BE. 9/10. Looking at the next week, aka in like two days episode, and the hand around his waist has me sick, because what the fuck? Why is this the only contact you have given me in episodes, and I am going crazy? Right, right, right. I understand why he will not tell him that he likes him because he wants to keep their friendship the same, but it is actually pissing me off, silly, right now." Episode 22: "Also, there is no way this show is already ending. I am going to kill myself if I do not get enough time. I am going to jump. I am going to blow up the entire company. Y'all, I NEED MY SEASON 3, idc if we have lost the plot. The vibes this show brings are just phenomenal, and I do not care if it has nothing to do with the original. I need my season 3 right fucking now." "If I were NAO, I would have been like, shit, we are going to make this work, because I do not want to lose a friendship."
Okay, and just like that, my final review for this show is done. I think these two were my favorite couple, so watch this because it is actually really well done (ignore the ending). God, I will miss this show so much; Momma desperately needs her season 3. Let's run it. Okay bye!

Sits at the top of the driveway
LET ME KEEP GOING. Okay, next up are Dao and Arthit, and I lowkey loved them. I thought their story was really good, so let's get into my review. I would give it an 8.5 out of 10. And I'm going to say what I liked, what I didn't, and then an episode overview.Starting off strong was the start. Unlike our previous couple, their start was actually really good, and I feel like it actually set this show up perfectly. It showed all of the characters as well as all the relevant background characters, and it was very to the point, which is always nice to see.
OH MY GOD. The next thing I liked was THE GIRL WHOSE BF DIED. I fucking loved that. And you know, I should hate that; I really should, because it was kind of an irrelevant plot line to take away from our main couple, but they made me wanna fucking BAWL MY EYES OUT. I loved every second of them, and I will never get them out of my head ever. I need a sequel where it is just them; I don’t play. God, they make me so sad. But I love them.
Going back to our main couple, I also loved taking things slow. It didn't really feel awkward; it lowkey felt just right, and I enjoyed that a lot, y'all have no idea. Just great with everything, including the love, because neither of us were quite ready for a relationship just yet, and we really need to grow as people before we grow together.
THE MOM. Okay, so I hate on San Francisco later in my review, but the fact that she died on Christmas and he spent so long trying to talk to her, and she was just dead. I don't know if I will ever be okay, because what the fuck. That was just so sad, and they brought that to life really well, so good job to them again (at the cost of my sanity this time).
Another thing I liked was, once again, the friend groups; they were so lovely to see, oh my god. Johan and Arthits' relationship was such a gift, and I love it. They are pretty similar and also not, but I just really enjoyed them on screen together even if they were arguing. Also, Arthit and North being close was also really cute (peak Bas with the middle part because I don’t play about him).
Moving on to things I didn’t like. WHY WERE WE ON SCOOBY DOO AH MANHUNT FOR THE FIRST COUPLE OF EPISODES, YALL GONNA PISS ME OFF SILLY I SWEAR TO GOD.
SAN FRANCISCO, KEEP MY SECOND HOME OUT OF YOUR MOUTHHHHH. THERE IS NOWHERE IN SAN FRANCISCO THAT LOOKS LIKE THAT; THE ENTIRE CITY IS ON TOP OF ITSELF. DON'T PISS ME OFFFFFF.
Regarding our love story, I think we did a good job at the start, and then when he asked him to be his boyfriend, it kind of felt like a middle finger to all the progress we were making, so that was kind of irritating. I just wished they spaced that out better.
On more stuff I didn't like, episode 14. If you have seen this, you know what happens here, and if you haven't, well, spoiler time...like always. There is a scene in this where Arhit comes onto Dao, and then Dao pushes him off after Dao kisses his neck and all that. And while he did apologize and they work through that, that was ultimately a dislike for me, because it felt kind of unnecessary in a way; I don't know, like he didn't NEED to come on to him. Just something about BL shows: they love their sexual assault. And well, I do acknowledge that this happens a lot in real life, and in that aspect it makes this a good representation; it felt very out of character for Arthit and along with that the storyline.
And then finally one short note on stuff I didn’t like: the final episode. Something about this season and their final episodes was just so lackluster and had me really disappointed. I feel like they set the standards so high and just wrecked them, like please can we lock in I BEG. But yeah, that’s kind of it for this one.
Episode overview time. Episode 10: "A week episode because we were on a scooby doo ah manhunt." Episode 11: "EVERYONE FUCKING AMERICAN HOLY SHIT ALSO CALI WAS WAY TOO CLOSE TO HOME, I DIDN'T LIKE THAT, ONE BIT." Episode 14: "Arhit is a Saint Bernard lowkey." Episode 15: "ONEY MAKES PEOPLE PISSEDDDD, HENCE WHY ARTHIT JUST GOT FUCKING DROPPED, LIKE WHAT THE FUCK? Johan hating on Arthit but will jump at the opportunity to save him, I love that.” Episode 16: “Why is the grandma's name golden shower? R. Kelly ah grandma.” “I hate to not be the woker, but I wish they fucked again. BECAUSE OAT AND THOSE SEXY EYES CAN GET ITTTTTT.”
I don’t know if they were my favorite couple or if the final one is my favorite, but they are pretty close. Overall, I actually enjoyed this, and it was lowkey really well done, so do check it out when you have the chance. Okay bye!

The Day the Music Died
Since we are the first story in season 2, we are the first review; let's go. I have a lot of feelings about them and their story, so let's actually get into it. I would give it an 8.5 (8.81) out of 10. Then, y'all know the drill: I am going to say what I liked, what I didn't like, and then do an episode overview.Starting with the plot. I think they could have done it a bit better, but I like the whole thing with the sister, even though I really should hate it; I thought it was pretty good. I just wish they wrote it out a little bit better because there were still a few plot holes. But god, it just made me so sad, the whole thing with the sister and how he is a disappointment because of that, so I guess the writing was pretty good. This is also what I wrote the headline off of, because the day she died, everything after that was terrible for Typhoon.
Once again, just like the original, the romance and character writing was phenomenal, and I am actually gagged. Every character felt like a real person, because they were brought to life in that way. I also think that, because of that, some parts had the same charm as the first one, so I liked that too. (They did jump the gun with their romance, though, which I am not very fond of.
They have such good chemistry, so I quite enjoyed their kissing and all that. EAT EATING ATEEEE, BECAUSE I DON'T PLAY. I also love the actors' off-screen chemistry too, and it is always a joy to see them on my four you page (or should I say fourever you page (see what I did there, I will be here all day bruh or until I finish all my reviews for this show lmao)).
I LOVE WHEN THE FRIEND GROUP IS ALL TOGETHER, OH MY GOD THAT'S BETTER THAN ANY SEX SCENE.
Regarding things I didn't like, the start was so incredibly lackluster, my lord. I loved season 1, and I would give my life to watch that again for the first time, so my standards were very high for this. And I was ultimately let down by the start of this one. I feel like we were just thrown into the deep end of lore that halfway made sense and expected to swim. AND let's just say, I didn't swim. I was fucking DROWNING BITCH.
Next up was our 'wolf in sheep's clothing.' So before I go on the rant that I am about to go on, I wanna preface that I love Bever and Tonliew, and they have such good chemistry AND are amazing actors. But the power dynamic they have this is literally the most problematic thing ever, and it was really hard to ignore. The whole thing with Bever's character 'respecting him' was fine until he's like I am only doing this so you like me; I actually have no problem coming on to you. I didn't like that one bit, oh my god. Also, the fact that they grew up together makes the dynamic so much weirder, and I actually can't get behind it at all. Like, at least for the other character they are openly evil and at least are somewhat respectful; he's just not, and I don't fuck with that at all. Okay rant over...for now. My reaction for their dynamic changing lmao, "DYNAMIC CHANGE HELLO. CAUGHT MY REACTION ON INSTA. "I'm starting to lose my patience now." WHATEVER YOU SAY NEXT OR HAPPENS NEXT CAN'T EXCUSE THIS LINE AND THEIR DYNAMIC IS LOWKEY CHANGED FOR ME. Help. HELP. WHAT THE HELL, I CAN'T MOVE ON FROM THAT."
On top of that, there was a lot of bullshit in the episodes. I think that they needed to cool it on the filler, especially with how short it is; like, just tell me the fucking plot line before I get violent. Also, in regards to other bull shit, the confession bit was lowkey so bullshit. I was at a loss for words. I feel like they were doing too much when they should have just had a flat-out confession; stop giving me all this run-around shit. Going back to this with lackluster ass shit. Some episodes were interesting for a little bit, and then they would go to this lackluster boring shit, like we are pissing me off, silly.
THE WAY HE FOUND OUT THAT TORFUN DIED SUCKKKK, OH MY GOD. Like, we built our love story off of her; what are we even talking about right now, huh? He was just kind of like Oh yeah, your sister's been dead even though she's been texting me; I have known for a while now. LIKE WHAT? That should have been a bigger deal. I am dead.
Episode overview, let's go. Episode 3: "Smiling, but just remember they are grown men, and there is nothing to be smiling about." Episode 4: "YALL WANNA FUCK, STOP LYING, LYING STRAIGHT TO MY FACE, THE LOOKS HAVE ME DEAD. The blind leading the blind. THIS IS MY BIGGEST FEAR, I SWEAR TO GOD. GETTING LOCKED IN THE BATHROOM AND NO ONE FINDING ME AND THEN I JUST DIE. They are so cute. I did need a trigger warning for getting locked in the bathroom tho." Episode 6: "Does anyone in their friend group have a car?" "FAH FREAKED ALL THE WAY OUT. LIKE. Love LOVE LOVE their height difference. This show is hella quiet, also FAH GIVES ME SUCH BAD VIBES LMAO. Like, I think it's just Bevers' face; it's like innocent but evil. HE IS ALL UP ON HIM THIS EPISODE, GET OFF HIM." Episode 7: "But we are back. WHY IS P'FAH ALWAYS TRYING TO GET BEHIND HIM, FAH GET BACK YOU FREAK. BRO BEVER AND TONLIEW ONLY HAVE A YEAR IN BETWEEN THEM, WHY IS TONLIEW SO TINY? dude why are they even in Japan? TONFAH STOPPPP THOSE EYES ARE GNARLYYY. I love when the friend group is together. Fah and Jo have me dead. North just ate that holy fuck. Drop Fah for North lmao. I am dying; North fucking ate that punch, and I am so dead. Also, Easter is getting here faster than y'all men lmao." Episode 8: "Hey, I know I have said like four words total in both seasons, but my hair is going to be perfect, and I am gonna serve face." - probably oat. I lowkey ship Earth and bas lmao."
Yeah, I had a lot to say for this one, and not a lot of it was positive, and I am so sorry. I do like Bever and Tonliew a lot; I just think their story was kind of meh. I don't know. Watch it if you want, though, because my friend really enjoyed them; I just didn't. Okay bye!

A panther and a penguin walk into a bar
Guess who just binged this entire show in one day? Me! I did not think I was going to like this, solely based on my friend's description (shout out my girl Kat one time we in Thailand right now), but I actually like this a lot. It was really fun, and I do not know who came up with this, because shit was so crazy; I do not even think AI could come up with this, but I low-key enjoyed it a lot. Y'all did your big one. I would give it a 9 (8.85) out of 10, and I am going to say what I liked, what I did not like, and then an episode overview. So let's do it.Starting off strong with the premise of the show. I think I found out around episode 3 that it was a penguin-and-panther love story because I did NOT look at the cover art or read the description. I just was like, okay, it is a penguin. I know that, but then they introduced the panther, and I'm like, oh fuck, what are we doing right now? AND I should really hate this. I really should. It is weird, low-key borderline bestiality and low-key some furry shit, but I do not hate it. I think it is really unique, and the actors as well as the writing really brought this to life, because they actually did their big one with this. Would this work in reality? No, not in a million years, but thank God it is a Thai BL and not reality. Okay, so basically the plot of the show is a panther who longed for freedom got the freedom, and then a penguin who longed for freedom and got the freedom. And basically it is a take on animal cruelty and how the way we treat animals is bad and how it is very normalized but really should not be. I also think they did their big one with this in terms of social commentary, so good job for that, too.
I saw these two handsome men in the Fourever You episode, Season 2, when they randomly got grouped in lmao. Hopefully they make a season 3 for that shit because I don't play about these two now. They are also in Be My Player two, and they are cute as fuck. And my friend's like, yo, they are also in Caged again. And I'm like, the fuck ass furry bestiality show? She's like, hell yeah. So I'm like, okay, let me just watch this shit. And it was so good. They did such a fucking good job, and they were what, like 19 in this? 18? Such a good job. They are both so handsome and such good actors, because they really brought it to life. On top of that, they also have a lot of chemistry, so shout out their chemistry one time. But yeah, I truly could not imagine this with another pair of actors, because they brought this to life in a way that I do not think anyone else could have, because of just the way they fit it. I can understand a bit of criticism with Benjamin, I think his name is, being low-key skinny as fuck, because how he a panther if he is skinny as fuck, but low-key they did their big one with this, and I fucking loved it, good for them. I hope to see them in more stuff, soon as the main pair. Let's go.
Another thing I like in regard to plot points. I liked the kissing. I feel like they were macking a lot. I was like, oh my God. Sometimes it felt a little off, but it was still really cute, and I just love to see them together. But yeah, I also liked the whole instincts thing, even though I should not have liked that. I was like, okay, this is a little bit weird. What are we doing? What is going on? But I loved it. I was like, okay, shit, I cannot hate the players; I have to hate the game. I liked the whole thing with him holding back his instincts, and they added that because what do you mean a penguin and a goddamn black panther are together? But yeah, just phenomenal job with these two.
I think the final thing that I liked was our side couple and their four-year-long situationship. They were really fun together, and I want to see them in another show together, because I feel like they really brought their characters to life. It felt really natural with them along with the other characters in the show, just very natural overall. Some parts felt a little rushed, but I think they built the world pretty well. Even though this was a slow burn, I still think they did their big one with this, so shout out to this show one time.
Regarding my criticism, lowkey nothing comes to mind, and that is kind of crazy. We know I hate slow-burn stuff, but they did fine with this, so I cannot hate on the slow burn. Yeah, I do not know. WAIT I found my critique on this show. I think that they killed the villains off too easily. The first time was fine, but the second time, I feel like we did not really get any clarity with them, and they should have literally been skinned alive or kept in a cage. Something like that to make it ironic for what they were doing. And then ALSO the thing with the North Pole. You have already been told penguins don't live there; why do we still wanna go? I'm confused? OH and Nam got completely faded out. I just realized that. If we wanted to do that, we should have done it better because that was just irritating. And that's all for my criticism.
Okay episode 1: “I like the little moment with the headphones and him, like, them sticking their tongues out at each other. That was kind of cute.” Episode 2: “I don't know what weed we were smoking when we came up with this, but I can get behind it. I actually love this a lot. They have good chem, and it's not a lot of brain power, so love them and love whatever bs plot is happening right now.” Episode 3: “I want more lore on the zookeepers but I also just want them to be happy, so I am good off that lmao.” Episode 4: “I just need y’all to fuck immediately to excuse the animal cruelty.” Episode 5: “They just kissed under the covers.” Episode 6: "The instincts part where he rolled over, so cute, literal chills from that. "Also, you see somebody possessed in the forest. Why are we walking towards them? Right." Episode 7: "Talking about some skipping school. We do not go to school anyway. We just hang around the campus and sleep. What the hell? We have not been to class in a decade. We are for real. Oh, but the alcohol is not accurate. We have never met teenagers before. Talking about skipping school. We do not go to school anyway. We just hang around the campus and sleep. What the hell? We have not been to class in a decade. We are for real. 'Oh, but the alcohol is not accurate.' We have never met teenagers before. They have to get lit all day, every day, constantly. It is a never-ending state of getting lit. Let's go." "And the catnip, he knew what he was getting himself into with that." Episode 8: "You are a literal panther chasing after the car, but no, our instincts are not intact. Bro, you are afraid of fucking gunshots and fireworks, still lock the fuck in and go chase them, bro. Panther versus two guys, panther is fucking winning. Bitch, lock in." Episode 9: "I need you all to fuck at least three times in this episode, in animal form and human form, lock it in."
I would 100 percent recommend this; this was such a fun watch, and their chemistry is great. This show is full of so much whimsy and joy, and the couple is so fun, so please watch it. Okay bye!

This was probably one of the best Japanese BLs I have ever seen
Overall, I am really sad that this was not 10 episodes, but it was a true joy to watch. I would give it an 8 (7.8) out of 10. And then I am going to say what I liked, what I did not like, and then do an episode overview!Starting strong with the plot. This was really good by BL standards overall, not just by Japanese BL standards. I thought it was really fun. It was really straightforward, not convoluted or weird, and it filled the episodes perfectly. So, basically, the plot is enemies to lovers, or rivals to lovers technically, but they are also enemies (?), there are levels to this shit. They were high school rivals, and now they are at the same company together, and they are still rivals, but it turns out one of the guys had a crush on the other one the whole time. Then they start dating on a weird whim, and their feelings for each other are pretty unsure. By the halfway point, they are both in love. Then they deal with what many adult relationships deal with: communication issues. For men specifically, or Japanese men in this case, they are either overly communicative or not good at it, and for these two, they were not very good at communicating, and that is where most of their issues arose. Overall, I thought this was really good and a fun and interesting plot.
Another thing I really enjoyed was the actors. Starting off, they were both really sexy, like, oh my God (like, old man sexy too). Not even like, oh, you’re Japanese, and you look like a little boy sex, NAH THEY WERE OLD MEN SEXY. Especially the one with the black hair. He was old and fucking sexy. Anyway, I thought they brought this to life really well, especially with all the emotions, and I think the acting is really good and brings their characters to life. They also had really good chemistry. Even though I felt like it started off kind of awkward, but then we had a sex scene that opened us up to the show, and that basically sold me lmao. They did that so well, and then they just kept delivering in everything.
Regarding criticism and stuff I did not like, I think my main criticism is the whole plot with the guy with the Dora haircut and the pointless micommuncaition that came with it. That felt really irrelevant and came out of nowhere, and I feel like it didn’t really add anything to the plot and took a lot away from our main couple. I think it was trying to show communication issues and stuff in real relationships, but it didn't really have much meaning, and I think they should have gone back to the other thing where they miscommunicated on their own, without the help of a weird third party that was introduced really randomly. Like we gave a halfway background thing on why this guy is here now, and he’s like I am going to ruin your guy’s relationship for the straight love of the game and I am going to have a fuck ass haircut while doing it, like what? So episode 7 and 8 really pissed me off, but other than that, this show was good and not a lot of complaints besides kind of empty episodes (not a lot happening), but looking back at it, it flowed pretty nicely.
Okay, some of my favorite quotes from episodes, let’s go. Episode 1: “WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING? WHO WAS FUCKING AT THE START? WE ARE TOO OLD TO BE ACTING LIKE THIS, I SWEAR. ALSO HOLY JUMP, HEY, WHO CAN LAST LONGER? YALL GAYYY. AND THEY ACTUALLY HAVE CHEMISTRY, WHICH IS SO NICE TO SEE. I AIN ‘T NEVER WATCHING A JAPANESE BL EVER AGAIN. FUCK IQIYI FOR RECOMMENDING ME THIS. 18 MINUTES IN. WHY ARE WE GIVING HIM BACKSHOTS AND WHY ARE WE JUST TAKING IT? LIKE HOW DO WE EVEN MOVE ON FROM THIS?

WHO CAME UP WITH THIS
I finished the show a while ago, but I am just now writing the review. I would give it an 8 out of 10, and then I am going to say what I liked and what I did not like (this review is short becasue there is not a lot to work with).Starting with what I liked, both of the guys are very sexy. I think they are the epitome of Japanese beauty, especially the dark guy; he is low-key hot as fuck. I do not remember his name, so I am going to refer to him as the dark guy and the other guy as the prince guy. The prince guy is also really beautiful. Where did they even find these guys? Because they are sooooo gorgeous. Also, they have really good chemistry, apparently. I could feel it through the screen, even though this show was a little bit questionable. I thought that their chemistry was great, and it really brought this show to life. That is really it for what I liked.
What I did not like was the plot. I do not know what it is with Japanese BL and these bullshit fucking plots, but I swear to God, this plot is terrible. This girl rejects him and says she only dates princes, so he joins a random fucking contest. And this guy randomly appears out of nowhere and suddenly does his makeup for the contest. What are we doing? What's going on? Also, the entirety of the 30 episodes builds up towards this contest. The contest literally lasts three seconds, not even a full episode. It is genuinely three seconds long. He wins, and then the other guy got expelled previously, so he could not even go to the contest. I am so lost. There were also childhood friends, which makes no sense. They should have gone into more detail about that instead of having us wait for 25 episodes. He is like, oh my God, you have a scar on your ear just like my childhood friend. What does that even mean? Also, there is a season 2 that I did watch, but why do we need a season 2 if he is already a prince? That is the whole point of the show. But yeah, just hooting and hollering and pissing me off with this very random plot. Despite this, I still rated it pretty high because their chemistry and acting outweigh the terrible plot.
Would I recommend this? I would say yes. If you just ignore the weird, non-continuous plot and focus on their good chemistry, it is short and enjoyable, so I would say do it. Okay, bye!

They played in my face with this
I have no words to describe how bad this was, lmao. I would give it a 6.5 out of 10, and I am going to say what I like and then dog on the show to no end. Let's go.Starting off with what I liked, the guys are hot. Don't let the terrible lighting and weird outfits fool you; they are good-looking. Watching the ending interview, the actors were really happy and sweet, and I love that. They actually cared about the impact they were making by performing in BL, and I love that for them, that is so sweet, I just wish the plot wasn't ass.
Okay, what I didn't like, all of it. My standards are lower for short dramas, but this didn't even reach that. It was just, just bad, my god. I was, for one, really confused because the plot is confusing and weird, my god. One of the guys was acting like a dog, and he is either the celebrity or the celebrity look-alike. I never got that cleared up. But if he is a celebrity, why is he working for the company? Like that doesn't make any fucking sense, and they didn't really explain it. They were about to, and then the guy randomly moved abroad for a couple of months, a.k.a. 25 seconds, and then came back home, and then they kissed, and then it was over. Like what? I don't fucking understand. Truly, it’s a shame they got this really weird plot, like at least they did it well, because I was uncomfortable as fuck. The dog thing is confusing as fuck, waiting for his reward or some shit, like don't piss me off, please. They could’ve flushed that out more...actually, even if they didn't, it still would have been weird. I also think the pacing was slow and weird, and then they jumped the gun, and I was like OK. I don’t know how we have a crush on him when we have barely seen him for like three seconds, just confusing and weird. Yeah, so that's kind of it.
Anyway, don't waste your time with this. Okay bye!

When I grow up
This is a pillar in the BL community, and I think that it is a little bit lackluster in almost every department, but I don't hate it for some reason. I would give it an 8.2 (8) out of 10. Okay, I am going to say what I liked, what I didn't, and then yeah.Holy love mix-up. I think the concept for this is incredibly cute and also really funny, but I feel like this could get confusing if you haven't had the whole first 5 episodes spoiled to you over the past 5 years lmao. I love Aoki's character more than life. I think he is so kind and such a well-written character; I just wish they used his personality a little bit more. He is very selfless and caring, and that is so refreshing, especially in the BL landscape nowadays. This is bullshit, but lowkey in a good way, I can't explain it. It feels random but fun (AND VERY WHIMSICAL), and I think thats why part of me liked it so much despite the flaws. Like that cinderella shit? Like a one-off, they never mention it again, but it was so funny and so random, like I loved that. (Also, the guy who plays Aoki is so beautiful, and he lowkey looked like a girl with that blonde wig on, I'm dead. Actually, everyone in the main cast is the epitome of Japanese beauty, I love to see it). I can understand why people like this show, so I would recommend it if you are into lackluster Japanese BL that is all types of addictive. The couples in this has okay chemistry, I will give them that. Aoki and Ida have that brick wall special still, but they have slightly more chemistry than your average Japanese BL couple. And the girl and redhead lowkey had hella chemistry, especially with him bending down to listen to her (I will never be okay), but it just wasn't put to use as much as I would have liked it. Okay, yeah, that's it.
I think one of the main things that I didn't like about this show was the pacing and, in return, the romance aspect. Starting off with the pacing, I think that 10 episodes, all 25 minutes, there is not a lot to work with, but they spend the majority of those episodes running in circles around each other and dragging their feet, when they could have paced it out better and locked the fuck in. The second part is the romance aspect of this show. For "love" literally being in the title and there being no other plot besides the two main couples and their romance, God, the romance is so fucking lackluster. Now I am not saying we need to fuck every god damn episode, but I need to see more flirting, more kisses, more hugs, more hand holding. I feel like we only really got that at the end, and they should have written that better. I also think the romance building started really strong, but fuck, it died all the way out, and I felt like the episodes were really boring towards the latter half. And then they just broke up with their bullshit ass misunderstanding, like babe we have 2 minutes left, and now y'all wanna be happy? Like, don't piss me all the way off. Same with our side couple, like, be for real, y'all are so damn cute, why did Aida's bitch ass keep rejecting her? It feels like we are wasting my time right now. Nothing happened in this entire show lmao. Not a single thing, and all of the shit that did happen was so fucking random and felt irrelevant. Also, the guys who played Aoki, Ida, and Aida look old as hell (still sexy), like y'all are supposed to be in 11th grade, be fucking for real. Aoki and Ida started dating at such a random point, it felt rushed and confusing, and I know that was the point, but I was more thrown off than anything, like we needed more development in that department and in the whole show, but that's beside the point. THE RANDOM ASS ONE-OFF GIRL WHO HAD A CURSH ON THE TANIGUGCI FUCK! WHY? Just no. They started to blur the days and details of the story together around episode 7, and it just got confusing. EVERYONE IN THIS SHOW JUST NEEDS TO MIND THEIR BUSINESS HOLY FUCK. Like that's where all of our issues are from, like shut up. Shut all the way up. Okay, I am done hating.
I think this is a person-to-person thing, if they want to watch this or not. I think keeping in mind the year this came out and also the fact that it is coming out in Japan, so it's not as spicy or romancey as modern ones, but I still think it's good, and if you enjoy lackluster shit with a whimsical vibe, then this is for you lmao, if you don't, I suggest you don't watch this lmao. Okay bye!

42 minutes I can't get back
Um, okay, it's over. This wasn't long enough for me to really care, but I am still going to write a review anyway. I would give it a 7 out of 10, and then just say what I liked, what I didn't, and then yeah.I mean, the guys were hot? And I like the reveal at the end that the tutor liked him all along. I liked the music; I thought it was very whimsical, and that's really all I have positive to say about this show.
Starting off strong. NO ONE HATES HIGH SCHOOL X ANYTHING ELSE AGE GAPS MORE THAN ME. It is just plain weird. I think college is less weird, but still weird, but high school and the fact he didn't graduate until a couple of years AFTERWARDS MADE IT WEIRDER. And the tutor guy, while he didnt admit it til the end, had a crush on him the whole time, AND HAD THE STUDY OF HIM WAS JUST WEIRD. I don't know, that was just hard to ignore. Up next, there is no plot, like at all; it's just an idea thrown onto the screen. There was no lore, no background, no information, no reason to care, in other words. Yeah, my review is longer than the script of this show lmao. I am sure that this could have been good if it were longer, but I also don't mess with stuff like this, and it wasn't longer, so I didn't like it.
Yeah, lowkey wasted 42 minutes of my life, but that's fine. Okay bye!
