MAN, I started this series very skeptical and as many people have already said here, I love it but there a parts that are just a big NO NO FOR ME. I'll start with the couples:

Pop and Oat: Dude, I LOVE THIS GUYS. I mean their friendship started kinda weird and Oat was so annoying and Pop and his irrational fear of sun (was that even necessary? come on). But they grew on me so fast. Maybe they are not the best actors but they had seriously GOOD moments together and Oat was freaking charming as well. I really root for them.. and when Oat really understood that he was harrasing Pop... that pained me a lot. And at the end we had a cute scene CUTE STENE but that was it.... Pop didn't even told Oat he would be a flight attendant... *sighs*

Pop/Mo/Pree: GURL! Poor Mo! I was really frustrated with her story, the actress is really good so I don't know why they had to make her suffer that much for that long ... that prolongation of her problems with Pop was so unnecesary. And yep. P'PREE IS NOT OKAY TO BE AFTER YOUR SISTER'S BOYFRIEND. It doesn't matter if he was your first love you were with another person with a freaking ring and you can even stay away.. NOPE.

PreeBo: this was frustated me the most becausse I LOVE THE ACTORS. I got tired of Rambo's crying (the actor is good but he always make the same face, sorry) and Pree is the cutest thing ever but they just DIDN'T TALK ABOUT their problems and even Rambo behaved so bad Pree wasn't trying to fight for their relationship either... I was SO MAD I CAN'T. I really ship them.

Another characters like Pent I didn't really cared if I'm being honest. I liked a lot of parts of the story but they were others I just couldn't care. I am here for the pairings and I really hope that P'Nick would be with Mo, he looks like a nice and loveable guy. If Preebo fight for they relationship I'm in and PREE DON'T GO AFTER POP JUST NO. And Pop please realize you are in love with Oat, he have already told you that he loves you... IN YOUR FACE.

I will wait for season 2 though....

So this story is short and fun. It's about Guo Xiao Mei, a rich girl that one day crosses Gu Zhi, a young actor that works as an instructor at this VIP gym. GZ pretends to be gay to lure her into buying 5 year premium membership at the gym. But GXM end up shipping GZ and Qin Nan, the gym's supervisor, becaushe she is a fujoshi and she wants to see them together as a couple.

During the 8 episode there's a lot of funny scenes including sexual jokes and funny situations with Gu Zhi, Quin Nan and the other clients of the gym. I laughed a lot through the whole series, even thought at the end there's a more serious note about GZ and his acting career and if he wants to persue this dream. All the actors are nice and look confortable and the comedic timing is nice.

Overall I enjoyed it and laughed a lot.

I wasn't expecting much of this series but it really got me entertained. The 15 episodes are under 10 min each and you can easy binge watch all of them.
It's about two boys that live next door and under circumnstances of the story they have to live together for a while. But they are always caught in confunsing and misleading situations that led people to believe that they are more than friends... but it's not the case.
The cast did a good job. Choi Woo Shik and Jang Ki Yong did a god job and they were really funny together and that is the main focus of the story. Yes we have the friend Mina but the main focus is on them and the funny and akward situations they are in.
Enjoyable and really funny, it really deserves your time.

I feel kinda weird about this. I have no idea if this has some other souce material (I read here that's a book or a compilation of short stories) and because it's so short we don't really get that much character development. The story is about Hashimoto Jun, a writer that lives in Tokyo and his editor is asking him to write a love story, since it's been two years and he haven't been able to complete and publish anything. Suddenly Murata Keisuke, Jun's childhood friend arrives at his house. Jun haven't seen him in 15 years, but he is nice and cool, cooks for him and encourages to write the love story.

The story at the beginning has a big comedic touch into it but then it gets really dark and sad. The performances and good and the music and technical aspects are ok. I don't think it should have been longer but I think it could have been handled better with the emotional punch. maybe two episodes more. Overall, I liked it and it broke my heart.

So I haven't read the manga (but probably I will) and let me tell you people it's a beautiful story. I had no idea what was about but I was preasantly surprised. The pace is good and both main characteres are well defined. Good work dealing with Kohei's hearing issues and how Taichii is able to help him. I mean the building relationship is so well done. Taichi was adorable and he understands what Kohei is going through. I think Kohei's actor is outstanding . I hope there would be a second part and that this movie could have been longer. I would happily rewatch this one.

Could have been better than it was. I loved characters like Kluay, Fah and Apo. The story was messy and could have saved a lot of screentime if you shave many conflicts (like that one with coach Mai, so unnecesary). The couples didn't have the same screentime and it was like I wanted to see more of certain ones (Kluay and Achi was my favorite but we barely saw them). I liked Min but his story with Wan was messy and all that drama was unnecesary. I just find good stuff among bad writing. Performances were good but New... my boy playing Apo is a good actor. I love to watch his dramas (he has been in Sotus and a couple more). Overall the series is nice, has good moments but could have been told better.

I started HIStory backwards I guess... I watched Right or wrong and Boundaries crossing and I knew I needed to see the rest of this series.

The series os so short and I think that's hard to do because the little time to get to know the love story. In this one it's a fantastical situation in which Shao Yi Chen is heartbroken by his boyfriend and then he suffers a car accident. But he does not die... he just rebirts 10 years into his past, when he was 19 and haven't even known Jiang Jin Teng. YC is determined to not fall in love with JT but how knows? can he manipulate fate?

The plot as it is, could have been handled better it's confusing is everything is a dream or YC truly went into his past self. I get it. But the story has another good things: the chemistry between the actors is amazing, even though their relationship is kinda fucked at times, they really did a good job with the kissing and intimate scenes.

Overall I liked it. I think my biggest complain is not enough episodes to work the story, thing that is fixed in History 2 having 8 episodes per story. So glad about it.

I started this series with a lot of hopes and expectations... I thought it was about a guy that does boxing to get money but that was only the first episode.. turns out that everyone here is rich except one character and the story is about certain couples and their problems.

Hsia Yao is rich guy that works sometimes (pun intended) and a rich girl called Yuan Roo falls for him. So she tells her brother, Yuan Zong, the CEO of a important bodyguard company, that she wants Hsia Yao to be her boyfriend. So the brother goes kinda stalking Yao but at the Yuang Zong ends up falling in love with him too. With this we have also Hsia yao's friends stories: Xuan Da Yu, a rich rich guy and how he meets Wang Zhi Shui, a thief and artist. Peng Ze, and how he wants to get closer to girl but he has a lovely model friend instead, Li Zhen Zhen.

The story started up so well but towards the middle we ended up with a lot of weird situations and obviously we have the China BL ban, so we don't have kissing or intimate scenes. Everything is off screen but we can assume that those moments take place. Everyone here is handsome and cute (I have to vote for Xuan Da Yu as my favorite) and each couple have their moments in the story. I liked the romance moments and the music of the series IS GREAT, I mean the songs are so catchy.

Off all the couples, my favorite is Xuan Da Yu and Wang Zhi Shui. I mean, they started bad: WZS steals from him but then they have cute moments together: XDY even goes when WZS used to live and finds out the tragedy of his past. Even though XDY has feelings for his best friend HY, we are kind of aware that he develops feelings for WZS too. And I wanted to see MORE OF THIS STORY DAMN.

As well of Peng Ze and Li Zhen Zhen, we don't have that many scenes, they are almost invisible and that's bad. And the main couple, I mean, I liked Hsia Yao but the was too good and do so many heroic stuff but man, Yuan Zong takes the cake. He was hot and adorable and charming. YES.

Overall and taking aside China's BL Ban, I think this is a fun and charming story. Even with all the weird moments (Hsia Yao and the doctors is the worst by far), I really liked the characters and the music is great. My favorites are Xuan Da Yu and Wang Zhi Sui *hands down*

Probably rewatch it? I don't know. Maybe in a couple of years, who knows.

I discovered this series and I kinda binge watched (I watched 10 episodes on a single day, please DON'T JUDGE ME UwU). I have to admit it's addicting and fun and you can easily get involved into the story and the characters. it's about a certain number of couples and their stories.

Story starts with Pete, a shy and rich student that is hit with a bike by accident by Ae, en engineering student. They have an instant connection, even though Pete knows he is gay but he's not out yet and Ae haven't had any romantic relationship before.

This couple is the main one in the story and you can really be with them in all the moments, when they start liking each other, the problems of acceptance of their feelings and the issue of their families. I think the story is well handed even though it has certain tropy moments and weird scenes but still it's nicely done. But from a certain point, the story lacks conflict and tends to be boring because of this constant sweetness, even the script give space to the other couple that i like the most (I am a fan of this trope) and that is Tin/Can.

Tin/Can starts SO late in the story and I am sad because that could have come up WAY TO EARLIER SO IT COULD HAVE HAD A BETTER TREATMENT. Tin is Pete's friend. He is incredibly rich, handsome and really cold. He think he should be with Pete because they share a similar world. He ignores people and just want to be alone and never let anyone in .. until he almost hit Can with his car. Can is Ae's friend from football team. He is hiperactive, funny and slightly akward guy that dreams of having a lovely girlfriend. When they see each they hate each other and constantly fight mainly because Tin treats Can poorly because he is from a middle class family and Can because Tin is so rude and seems to be disrespecting his friend Ae. Slowly, Tin starts to see that Can is a good and loyal friend and Can sees that Tin is not evil or a horrible person, just don't want to let anyone get to know him. I have to confess I fell for them so hard. Not only because i could see the development of each of them lowering the fists and truly see the other but it's sad we got to that ending... I know the story seems to be a little bit rushed but still they grew so hard on me. And the end of them is SO bitersweet because Tin allowed himself to love someone and show his past and the sadness he feels with his family and Can jus't didn't know what he feels but he knows deep inside he feels something for Tin but he is scared and unsure. I agree with Can telling Tin to be just friends but still broke my heart to see Tin so devastated. I INSIST: with more time and the couple ntroduced earlier, we could have had a nice ending for them :(

Tar/Tum I liked this one but it just didn't have enough time to fully develop and still it has its issues. Tar is studying in France to become a chef and he comes back to Thailand to stay with his mom and his stepbrother Tum for a while (and Tum happens to be in love with Tar). I think their story started with a trope but with more time, it could have been executed better and... because Earth is a TERRIFIC ACTOR and I was really proud of him (LOL)... We barely saw them and JUST handling such a delicate issue like RAPE was not exactly well done. Why make Tum try to kiss Tar without his consent and assault him like that? Really? Was it neccesary? NO. Still they have a great moment at the end with Tar telling the truth to Tum and explaining why he is so traumatized... and Tum accepting everywting and supporting him... still the story had a nice ending.

Kengkla/Tecno I JUST COULDN'T STAND THIS... it just wasn't necessary and was SO WRONG. P'No did not deserve this because what he went throught is RAPE. SImply as that. And Kengla trying to manipulate him is the WORST and I could barely watch this. And the story is unfinshied as well ... it's just a big NO for me.

The music of the series of great but still to loud or akward on certain scenes... The actors are good, stiff at times but overall the chemistry they have is really good. I am so sad that we probably won't have a second season because I really enjoyed this despite its weaknesses and the end is way too open. I just think LBC could have been a better series with just three couples and more screentime for each.

I see myself rewatching it in the future.

This was my last story from HIstory 1 and I liked but not loved it. I think it's not fair to compare them to the other ones since each one has a different plot and situation.

Cheng Qing is a famous drama actor but he's still studying at highschool and trying to get good grades. Fen He is a really focused and responsible student and this two boys get to meet by chance but later they found out that their parents got married so they are sort of brothers from now on. CQ moves to live with FH while their parents are on their honeymoon, but feelings start to get in the way.

I think this story was sweet and slow. We really see the conflict that FH has if he start to like his famous step brother and CQ also start to feel things after his stepbrother's rudeness. They have really good scenes together and I personally tgink the actors delivered good performances.

Still it doesn't have the intensity or the drama of the previous stories so this is a simpler one. I liked Meng Meng, the fujoshi friend because I think I am a lot like her myself.... (I don't write fics but I love BL dramas) so it's cool. Overall I enjoyed this last one even though I wanted to see a proper kiss scene.

I am watching this HIStory series and I am enyoing all the stories, even though they are far from perfect.

This one is about Lan Xi , a girl that accidentally dies but a grim reaper gives her the chance to move into another person's body to continue living. She gets into Gu Si Ren's, a lonely guy that is bullied at school and when he accidentally dies too she takes the opportunity. But now she has seven days to make her boyfriend Ying Xiong fall in love with her again but this time in a male body. Will she make it?

I was kinda weird with the whole thing but then like in episode 3 everything made sense. I know it's sad for Lan Xi to found out that Ying Xiong was actually in love with the original Gu Si Ren and that he love him too. It's sad for her but in the end makes the right decision even if it's painful and sad. The story moves to humorous to sad and deep in no time and still we had great, cute and funny moments (the water bottle scene killed me).

I do not think it's the best story of the series but it's nice to see that hero knew he liked men long before and not just for being magically converted into "OMG I like men" in just seven days. I LIKED THAT. Overall it's fun and lovely at the same time.
