Sweet & Caring
Truth to be told, it strongly felt like every fanfic ever came to life and... it works. Pinning over each other for years, longing and wanting the other, but never taking the step forward, protecting each other, making sure the other is not hurt. All the best tags we can find in fanfics are here too. While the story is extremely simple, the directing, editing, acting, ost... everything works in such a harmonious and perfect way, But seriously, I was really shocked at the quality of it all, it was really awesome and really great and I loved every second of it.Good story, good pacing, cute guys and good acting - what more can you ask for? I have one thing, I want more time with them!!! The series is too damn short!
The plot and the execution including the sets are well polished, and all the actors did a terrific job. The show also makes a few more quality decisions, especially around its second female lead who is textually treated in the same way as a traditional kdrama second male lead. It's a refreshing decision, not just from a kdrama perspective but from a BL perspective as well.
As a web drama, Where Your Eyes Linger is far far too short and as such the narrative is rushed. It would have benefited from longer episode lengths.
Definitely worth the shot if you prefer your “innocent BL” and don’t have time to binge dramas with long episodes

Funny and Light
I really found this to be a light hearted mini drama.Hands down the most fun I've had watching a comedy series in a long time. I was literally rolling on the floor. It's short, but totally worth the time. The casting was also very good (not great, but decent), and the main character played his role flawlessly.
This series uses the power of parody and it comes out perfect, it is very funny, the best thing is everything that happens in the background of the stage, it genuinely feels like being in a world dominated by the BL, another feature in its favor is the duration, the fact that it is so short allows you to better enter the game and participate in the absurdity. This drama is god damn funny, the manga made me laugh but the over the top acting from the main character mob is funny. He makes these faces like he's a villain trying to be straight.
Overall :If BL drama fans want to take a break from emo/sad BL and want to laugh from the BL tropes they often see in these dramas. There's eye candy of so many guys loving other guys. It's god damn funny to boot with a ending that most fans will love. It really needs a follow up/sequel because a cliffhanger ending is bad.

Not what I had expected ...
I was really looking forward to this, although to be honest I started with the Movie first before the actual series, and well I was not that overly impressed with it, the trailer for both of these looked really good but I was not happy impressed with the movie.If just seemed to have lacked a whole lot of story line and potential, I did not feel any chemistry between the leads and the some how it feels liked it was all of the place, then it did full circle a year later without back ground to what really happened between them?
So I might watch the drama (MIGHT BEEN THE KEY WORD) or just forget about it, if there are literally the same along the lines of nothing !!
Overall: Guess its up to you, but a NO FOR ME!!

Keeps you guessing ....
So this is not something I would normally watch, but i thought i would give it a try and try something different.I could honestly say that I was not disappointed, but not over excited about it, it does have the whole keep you at the edge of your seat, and the fact that I watched within a day says a lot. I did get the feeling that it was very similar to Lost as well, you have an almost identical and equally pivotal scene of the main character waking up on the ground in the jungle at one point. You have the unworldly creepiness that can't be explained and the mysterious suspense wrapped around everything.
Also it just really busy and everything was all over the show, for me, the one downside was the teacher that came back from the jungle and acted like a child, especially blackmailing the student, instead of being the Main Adult and step up, then we have the bullying aspect when she finds out what happens to her brother, any normal person would have been able to see and know that there was no way he was going to be able to make that trip and that his leg was getting really bad, then you have a affair and emotional black as well as a student trying to paly doctor. Although I do get it, if in a situation you do need to step up and grow in order to survive there were things there that I feel could have been handled better.
Overall: nothing bad to say, good series. (Okay, but I can say that the storyline was a few times (very little times) little bit messed up but not too bad. And the end left almost everything open, cant honestly say if I would be watch the second season if there is one.

What a Disappoitment
Honestly, how does this series get so many positive notes? The script has numerous flaws, the characters change their personality and ideas quickly and without explanation ... The first two episodes are ok, but then it only gets worse and more and more confused. Even things that I liked, like Tar, ended up not having much development. And the two girls? Was that an ending? A series summed up in script failures, bad development and good kisses. Just good kisses.Even at the end, when I thought I could be satisfied, it wasn't enough to make it worth it .... sad.
Honestly I really thought it was a continuous from the first one, but sadly it was not, there was a lot of new characters and this time they threw in a couple of girls and for me that is when it went down hill, I just couldn't understand why there were there in the first place?
Overall: I have nothing to bring here, it was that bad to watch.

What I had Expected ...
So from the many trailers I saw on this drama, I was expecting something a whole lot different. I watched it because I wanted to watch something light after so many sad bl series I've watched.The show is entertaining, but the story is simple and stereotypical.
- The acting is really good in my opinion (even though the characters aren't the most complexed).
- Because of the short episodes, it is really easy to watch and you actually feel kind of intrigued on what's gonna happen. The game is something new to me, as I have never heard of this game at all, so it was kind of interesting to see, although there some parts of the game I think are bit dangerous and could cuz a bit of problems, but overall it was a fun game. The music is horribly boring. I want you to know that a good song in the right moment can change a scene almost completely,.
OVERALL
It's more or less entertain and there are only 5 eps, so if you want give it a go. However, don't expect much and keep in mind it's a simple story. If you are looking for something with deep characters or plot, this is not for you.

POV ...
This was a lovely short drama from Leo POV, I really enjoyed seeing them together, and although it is basically the same scenario from Tharn & Type 2 there are a little bit of leo thoughts that do go along with fiat and how if they had just communicated from the start a whole lot of misunderstanding would have resolved.For people who have already watched and don't care to see their scenes again I would honestly just go for it.
Also, this was just a lead up to "Don't Say No" the series, which was really good and explained a lot of what happened with Fiat.
I can't say if there is any really particular order for this, I guess it just a matter of one choice and how much you really enjoy watching these two and the whole build up to what is going to come and what has already happened.
Overall : Good but again a repeat.

Lack of ....
Okay this drama was only 5 episodes long, but I honestly thought it would have a bit better, the first one, although it did answer a few questions, or hanging point that was left in the first drama, it still lacked a whole lot ...Lack of chemistry between the leads ...
Lack of a story line literally ...
Lack of intimacy between Wat/Tine (accept for the last episode) where there finally kissed each other!!
Lack of relationship between the couples.
For me the whole patting on the head to show love was just really putting off, it felt or came across a parent praising the child, also what really got me annoyed was after being from each other for two weeks, and you see them really crying and missing each other, when the two was up and they finally meet, there was love or emotion seen between them, throwing a juice bottle from across a street after two week is not something a couple deeply in love would do!!!
The music was fair, but a little over done, it was like i watching a musical.
Ok ok ok ok, I get i might seem like a complete hypocrite when I say this but I hated the kiss in the end.
But I have my reasons. All throughout the first and this season I have been waiting for a real kiss scene and not come on the cheek or almost kiss. But why add at in at the end with no context and not special feeling behind it, it like they just added that scene on to be like: see they did kiss once. Like we got a hinted shower scene, and so many other chances that they could have showed us they love for each other, but no that kiss just had no impact, or emotions or feelings.
Overall: Both of these were kind of OK but could have been great.

Too long
I really found this series to have to much unnecessary drama and was way to long.The basic storyline was there twins that got separated and had different up bringing in two different sectors.
I tend to lead more to Second ML just because he seemed to experience more once he was let out, basically survival skills or street smart. The first ML for me was too proper and just didn't get it.
Even though they eventually found each other it wasn't the whole brotherhood love.
This series could have been simple and to point, but that wasn't the case.

Plotting
As much as I enjoyed this series, for me i found that this series was way to dialogued and alot of repeating themselves unnecessarily.Story line was a bit too dragged out and wirh a whole lot unnecessary backwards and forwards, what annoyed the most was the female lead tried to come across as tough and knowing everything 8n other words she proclaimed to more than what she shouod, but in fact was always be saved and protected by those around her, and nevr taking advice or listening to what the others had to say, and that showed up in the last few episodes of the series, the second male lead actually mentioned it the last part when ge was talking to tou and how she always runs head first knowingly that she would be saved!
The male lead was patient and his character was played exceptionally well, although he tried to keep alot from his love instead of just being honest.
All in all it was an okay kinda of series.

Playfull
This Drama was really at the best of times extremely annoying in the sense that the way she carried out herself was really pitiful and not how a person needs to be treated, although i did see the sense of that later in the show and understand why he treated the way he did, was a motivation tool.The music was really god and the supporting crew i enjoyed as well.
I found the Mom of the hero, way too extreme and often really stupid, even though it would be nice to have a mother in law like her,

Mafia Style
Wow I really enjoyed this series although it was long, but it was definitely different.It had everything in it, humor was hilarious they were times i just killed myself with laughter the FL was totally awesome, especially everytime she did that little hop and skip when she was happy. And her comments and her little scarsctisc quirks were just on point. The were tears and sad moments, then were times when you were like what the hell is wrong with these people.
I especially liked the ML his cool demeanour and i dont care attitude was what made the series. His quick thinking and response to tackling a situation head on was truly amazing.
This series gives a whole different outlook to mafia style and also the godfather!

Well worth the wait and watch ...
So I got pretty interested in Leo & Fiat from the Tharn & Type hype, and even though that drama has topped all BL for me this year, This drama didn't disappoint me.Apart from the fact they were well suited for each other, and did an excellent job with this, along with the all the other characters who I must say were really amazing for they first time drama or screen time, (Hope to see a Leon/Pbob story line)?
So the story of Fiat and Lea was really good got to understand why fiat portrayed himself the way he did, and Leo finally standing up for his love and having the courage to get his man. It also touched on some very sensitive issues, such mental health, and toxic side of there relationship. For me I liked the fact the Leo was able strong enough to handle fiat breakdown, and stand up for his man, when his mother came and used emotional blackmail to turn him away from the people that loved him, and for me the turning point was how Leo showed how loved fiat was with all his friends and his family,, that was an amazing scene put together!!
As for the Leo possessive, Dam he can tie/lock me up, that scene was so hot and showed how much his love was there for Fiat.. I was down with that!!!
The only downside of this drama, is that I felt the NC scenes were not as hot as Thran & Type, but story and the chemistry overruled that.
Overall: This drama well done and everything and everyone about was amazing HATS OFF TO ALL!!!!

awesome
- This drama was truly awesome.Firstly i watched this mainly for the 2 mainly characters they were v well matched and complemented each other.
Secondly they love story was unique in the sense that 1 new what they wanted. Despite how that came together, each with respect for each other. Although the mom did annoy me in the beginning, she did eventually grow on me and got to understand her and enjoy her.
Thirdly I loved the dynamics of the story unfolding and how very grateful and thankful can go alone way in life. And family can get through situations in life.
Definitely a good drama and well wry written story

Did Not Enjoy this
This movie was literally 48 mins long and I just feel that there was so much potential but nothing was really executed.Strong points:
-- The plot is interesting, engaging and well-conceived. It concerns some heavy topics but is not overwhelmingly depressing. (That said, it does feature a couple of incidents of rape, and people who are sensitive to sexual violence should be warned.)
Weak point:
-- The decision to make this a short movie limited the creators too much. A longer treatment could have given the audience a better understanding
I just feel that they should have been longer and more understanding to this movie.
Overall: The weak plot and shortness of this movie was a major let down.
