Sweet & Moved along very nicely ....

Regarding the story there were some plot holes here and there, and I feel like the running time of each episode was poorly used in many occasions, some added things felt unnecessary to the plot as a whole, and some things could've been explained in a better way. I love a slow burn romance, the whole enemies-to-lovers trope, the two main leads were really attractive and you could feel the chemistry between them, and how they come together. It flowed through without any hiccups and the characters were well suited, my attention was how attractive both main leads were. They have different vibes, and I think they fit perfectly in what was presented,.

The second couple was really sweet, they story just came in and when right to the marriage proposal, its like they knew what they wanted and didn't bother with wasting time, and being dramatic. they did seem to have more screen time than I was expecting. They were super cute, I'd admit, but their relationship was way advanced compared to the main leads.

For me this series is worth watching, it's simple, it's cute, it's easy, and the end is refreshing.

Cute but not so Cute ....

Okay so to start off with, drama was not really on my watchlist or in my sights to watch it, however I did stumble across it mainly because the two ML looked kind of familiar, it is only after watching the first episode that I realized where they from ...

As much I liked and enjoyed Kissable Lips with these two in it, I wouldn't say that this drama was bad or not watchable, these two do have good chemistry and the acting is always good, however the story was kind of boring and literally so see through that you could make out what was going to happen.

I honestly cant say to much of this drama, it was one of those that so is predicable and sort of boring in its own way, the rich kid comes to daddy company to work to prove himself, the landlord working to make ends meet and then get taken for a ride by both of his friends, and then we have the whole self doubt and overthinking and running away after googling some shit instead of just asking straight up ... it was a like a real life coaster with this drama .

Overall: As I said earlier it is not bad, but its not that good either, its short with 8 episodes so probably watch while doing housework or something.

Reality vs Expectations ...

Wow this drama was really well done.

This was a journey, an experience, that will forever stay with me. I absolutely loved this series. The cinematography, directing, production level, acting, story - marvelous, beautiful and stunning. This series is a fiction, subtly yet un-subtly, calling out all the problems and flaws in the BL industry from toxic tropes, stereotypes, overcontrolling script writers to the cruel treatments of their casts, amongst other things. The story is about Gene, a professional BL writer, desperate to break out of the BL genre and try writing something else, but his publisher refuses and instead practically coerces him into writing another BL following his last successful one that was being produced into a series called 'Bad Engineer The Series'. Sitting through the audition for Bad Engineer is where he meets Nubsib, who's apparently a sheep in wolf's clothing. Nubsib is auditioning for the series and manages to snag the main lead role. It seemed to be Gene's and Nubsib's first meeting, but it's not because they met when when they were children around 14 years ago. They've got history, but it looked like Nubsib's the only one who remembers.

I would say... If you are looking for a realistic bl with all the sweet moments, tough times, challenging situations and a whole load of fluttering GENUINE MOMENTS ... THIS IS THE SHOW FOR YOU.....!!!

This drama really touched on the difference between reality vs expectations.. in life and the fact this drama was more based on an adult theme as opposed to your normal school / university theme.

The only Con I had with this drama was the last episode, why oh why did they turn it into a cartoon character, the sleeping beauty/Shakespeare/ cinderalla? that was highly annoying and probably the reason I am only giving it a 9star.

Overall: It was a well worth watch and everything was excellent.

Sweet love triangle ...

A short story of finding yourself, standing up for your beliefs, improving and changing your environment. At first all the characters might seem stereotypical, but there is more to them.

The plot would be the same as all school dramas if not for a love triangle where ALL of them are boys with a little extra girl added to make it a very weird geometric shape. Their relationships are hilarious, really. Two guys like the same guy. One girl likes a different guy, who likes a guy. One guy is extra - they do not specify who he likes. I guess, himself?

I didn't enjoy this because I think the main character was poorly cast, despite the fact that he was introvert, The show was also a bit too sanitized, with everything too perfect - it was a bit distancing. For example, TK was visibly plastered with white makeup - they all were, but it was worst with him.

The music wasn't much to talk about, honestly I don't think I heard actual song that I could add to my play list.

This is a cute series - if you like fluff, this is for you. I'll likely forget about it fairly quickly, as it really has very little to say.

This is basically a definition of self doubt .....

This is one drama, whereby you could you use for the definition of self doubt or procrastination!!!

She is always doubting herself, and going backwards and forwards, of what she wants to do, should I/could I? it was highly annoying, he didn't seem to know what he wanted either, I can't commit, but I want to commit, it really gives one whip lash watching this drama, thank goodness it was only 10 eps.

Na Bi an insecure girl not having enough experience of relations got out a toxic relation only to end up with a dude full of red flags if you can set aside., Jae Eon is a manipulative jerk he's is kinda guy no one wants to encounter in real life.

Slow Paced with some boring episodes, frustrating, you-wish-to-give-them-long-lecture moments, interesting subplots and side couples eye candy with beautiful cinematography, bedroom scenes well done, and kissing scenes seemed real enough.

But I had to skip some parts of the side characters, I felt like some of them were cliché.

The drama was boring, and way to mush self doubt, there was not an episode that went by you saw her questioning her motives, but she still went back for me!!

Not for me

I was really disappointed with this one, after hearing and reading on how good this drama was meant to be. I found this drama a little babyish and extremely childish to say the least.

The one good thing that I came away with after watching this drama, is that insecurities are real, and I did like how he overcame them and carried on moving forward, the down side for me was the mother, not understanding how he felt and she kept on saying how she did everything for her kids so that they don't feel the absence of the father, in a sense yes I agree single parenting is hard, but not understanding how he felt and the reason why he portrayed his feeling through a short film, showed how he was dealing with things.

I won't say i didn't like it, it's cute, but i found a lot of stereotypes in the character personality that made the drama unrealistic
and because of that you don' really empathize well with them. I also did not find the chemistry between the leads to be anything with a WOW factor they fitted each other but more on sympathy basis, the one was always left alone cuz the parents were producers so taking comfort from the insecurity classmate, I am not if there was love enough for that?

Overall: for me this drama is a NO, i am not sure the reason behind the high reviews, but this is my personal outcome, I might decide to rewatch it, to get a better sense of it.

Cliffhanger ... Too much Hype ...

Okay so I started watching this drama cuz of the hype behind it.

And honestly speaking I think too much overthinking was done, there were circumstances that just didn't flow with this drama, the episodes were extremely short and the story just didn't flow.

Can't even say this was a low budget, cuz there was not budget for this drama, it felt like it was thrown together, the directors or writers were either seriously bored or totally drunk with this one.

the only thing that i can make of it, was greedy mother sold off her daughter, to rich boy who didn't want to be married, started off with the whole domineering act and ended being the submissive, cuz he actually cared for her.

WHAT A WASTE!!!!

So Not Worth It ....

I am really not understanding the high reviews on this drama, where i Just could not make sense of it and the fact that it is only 3 Ep so you can literally watch this under an hour.

The only good thing of this drama is Jeff, which maybe why I only watched.

Have no what the story related too, it was really low budget you can not only tell the cinematography but the sound and all was so bad.

He She It was quite confusing. Yes, there's a bunch of plot holes and plot points where characters make decisions that don't make much sense. The timeline of the story is also all over the place.

Overall: Watch if your really bored and have nothing else or seriously desperate!!!

Not overly impressed

Well I am sort of glad this drama has come to an end. it was neither good or bad, it was for me kind of immature and not what i was really expecting from it.

The dialog was cringe, there was no chemistry between the leads, and for me that was really putting off, was a high school principal encouraging this kind of behavior instead of setting an example etc ... So this is basically a pretty awful low quality drama in every way possible, that was not leave very much to remember about.

The friendship groups were for me a complete disaster how on earth are friends with someone , and not realize that they have been in a relationship for over 7 years , and too keep that a secret for so long as well is really surprising for me too.

Overall: I can't really recommend this. There's much better Thai BL these days, and tons of it.

Not a fan of musicals

so I only watched this drama for the two main Male leads, as I am not a big fan of musicals per se.

And i was really glad that it was only 6 episodes long, which was okay for a musical, however, I will be honest to say that I fast forward every time a song came on, so i actually have no ideas on what the music was about.

Generally the story was okay and basically very simple, you either believed in magic or you don't . This drama is about a high school girl named Yoon Ah Yi who is struggling to support herself and her sister. Her mother had abandoned her, and her father, who was in debt and had fled to make money. She had to work part-time to make ends meet. Despite having many adult responsibilities, she always managed to get good grades and was near the top of the school. She believed that poverty was the cause of her misery and her ambition was to become an adult as soon as possible and to acquire more wealth. She literally had to grow up really fast and deal with what was happening around at a young age, I did feel for her and the struggles she had to go through, my only disappointment was there were things that a child should not have to grow through and the teacher that literally turned his head away when she spoke up.

The visual effects were incredible and mesmerizing! The scenes with the blue butterfly fluttering around are especially lovely. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen because they were so beautiful. This exceeded my expectations!

Overall, I truly enjoyed it a lot. Had some questionable choices, acting and directing wise, but I still believe it’s a solid drama.

A pure definition of Crazy!!!

This Drama was really crazy and this is a real definition of crazy...

At first I was like what on earth is going on, what is happening, and how is this happening? I found this drama to be all over the show, there was like no one episode that made any sense, it was so busy and you didn't have time to think about anything. It is one of those drama where you just switch off and watch with no thoughts to it.

I like morally grey protagonists and I was really excited to see Lee Dong Wook take on this role, especially after his stellar performance in Strangers From Hell. The first few episodes didn't disappoint. The story of a corrupt (but not evil) detective being forced down a more righteous path by his own split personality was an original one. However, about halfway through the drama transitioned into a typical "main character uncovers mystery from his own past" type thing which has been done to death. A lot of things were also left unexplained. While I'm ok with having some things left ambiguous, you at least have to explain enough that the story makes sense. Unfortunately, especially in the last 2-3 episodes, there was a lot left out. So while the premise was interesting, the execution didn't live up to the potential of the story. It should be clarified that the initial plot setup of “ corrupt cop becomes good again” isn’t an inherently new or exciting concept to K-dramas. Nevertheless, Kim Sae Bom was willing to add a retro flare to the narrative through the action escapades of K and Su-Yeol facing against bumbling and brutish thugs, convicts and adversaries in weekly episodes.

Overall: The drama is fun. Has elements of comedy. The episodes could have been shorter and the police could have been more efficient. It is enjoyable but ultimately I have to rate it a 6 because of the presentation and content.

Not Bad, But Good Either

Okay so this drama does have a lot of high reviews, which one of the reason I watched it, Honestly it was not a bad drama, but for me it was not wow factor or a holy smoke this was astounding.

The story was interesting and touched on very good points and topics, I just feel that it could have been more explored, I did love the Sister gosh she was really funny and made show even more enjoyable, the two leads were an okay match, and they did suit each other.

I cant overall say that it was a great drama, but it was a nice watch and it was light and it did have some funny moments to it.

Overall: it was ok, would I rewatch it probably not.

Had potential

This drama I was really looking forward to it, but sadly I was slightly disappointed, in the sense that he had so much potential if they had just expanded the story line and give it more screen time, its one of those dramas you watch in one sitting if you have literally an hour to spare in your lunch period.

There was actually no real story to it and it just played along, 500 year old vampire kills his first love, and then falls in love again with a pure blood, only to die himself cuz he too afraid to bite his new love. And that is it!! that's the whole story.

The episodes were toooooo short like 8 minutes the longest being 18 minutes, the chemistry between the two were off but like I said if this was a little longer they may grown on me, but sadly this drama just didn't work for me.

Overall: Short / Sad / & could have been better.
