A work in Art

Wow this drama was really cool, and funny, and totally awesome. For me the two characters that made this drama was Ne & Phueak, these two were amazing evening though phueak didn't get much screen time, as for Ne well she was down right hilarious as always.

So this was a really good series and everything flowed through really well, the main characters were well matched and the chemistry between was on point, the art work thrown in was a good twist and a nice change then the normal BL we get to see. I especially loved the whole animal scenes poko and Stephen then we added the chicken into the mix I am glad they made it to the end of the drama and not end up in a pot (LOL). Our main couple is Maze and Phap. Maze is the president of his company, is a money motivated person, and mainly uses his head to make choices. As his social status suggests, he has an extravagant lifestyle, wearing expensive clothes, living in a luxurious apartment, and driving a costly car. On the other hand, Phap is a carefree artist that specializes to abstract paintings. He is the exact opposite of Maze and uses his heart to make decisions. He is not rich, he believes in himself and his capabilities, and he loves nature and animals. He loves animals so much that he has three animals’ pals, Poco – a lizard, Steven – a cockroach (yeah, you read that correctly), and Teriyaki. They coming together by an accident that Maze was doing is what started this funny series. Then Ne is thrown into the picture, although she doesn't have any significant role, but her comments and attitude is what makes this series so entertaining.

The music was not so great for me, nothing that will make my playlist.

Overall it was a good watch.

A very Slow Start

So I was excited to watch mainly because of the ML, but to my disappointment, it started off really well, then all of sudden is kind of slowed down, I felt like the first 6 episodes were all over the place, and the whole backwards and forwards between the ML & FL and how they come together was really annoying, The story moves on because of many misunderstandings and miscommunication, you can't even say the bad guys are smart, they are just luck the main leads are dumb/don't know how to communicate.

I did not feel the chemistry between the leads, and they are very childish... their relationship would suit better if they were the secondary couple or the other person on the love triangle.

It took a very long time to actually finish this drama, cuz I honestly lost interest in it, but wanted to stick out just to see how it unfolds. This drama frustrated me to no ending and I did not like the characters at all. Especially the male lead, he is so unlikable (I like the actor, he's great, despite the bad script),

Just trust me, don't waste you time, 36 episodes of frustration is not good for the heart.

Sweet ... Funny ... Loving...

This drama was really funny till the last few episodes when things got real.

Hats off to Liang Jie and Steven Zhang for their phenomenal acting, they can portrayed each other's character out so well, the whole switching of bodies and how they carried out the roles were really funny, especially the episode where the ML had to experience her time of the month, that was just too funny and so cute at the same time. The story is really great, it's about each of the character growth and they're portrayed it so well, having to learn and experience what each person has to go through and how thy have to overcome there obstacles and challenges. For me it was like seeing how our celebrity's have to deal with life, and possible often they don't even have a life as they are always under such scrutiny.

The FL was really awesome in this drama she definitely deserves an award for 2021.

Also the main song and the music in general is really nice, and it went well with certain parts in the drama, this was my first time watching ML and I must admit he really wasn't bad at all and also fine looking,

A delightful Drama !!!

Toxic

WTF .... the trailer to this looked so good, and was one of those that could not wait to be watched, then you actually watch it and holy hell you ask your self what on earth is this?

This drama is so toxic that its so unreal. Fah was so annoying and so bloody toxic that i found myself feeling sorry for sher, but then on the other hand, sher just kept going back for more, I get that he had some sort of tramua with love and commitment hence the 1 night stands but gosh the backwards and forwards these two gave us it was like watching a tennis match !!!

The only good thing about this drama was at least most of the actors were cute and decent enough to look at.

This show was terrible.

I wouldn't recommend this, but each person idea to there own.

Holy Hell

OMG!!! This is one the very first BL I am rating 10/10 it was totally awesome!!

The only con I have with this is that I watched it ongoing and boy last friday on the last episode it was bitter sweet!!!

Just the best BL you will find out there. Why? Because it's healthy, it's well written, the actors actually has good chemistry and, the most important, ALL ELSE BEING EQUAL, this is the BL drama that will end all BL dramas – PERIOD!

The Music was really awesome and the characters were so well matched and paired up that you could feel the love between them. The story was fantastic and the best part there was no cat fighting or back stabbing or any parents getting in the way.

They stood by each other and worked out they issues together. Although the storyline enemies to lovers is pretty cliché and over used but if it’s done right it came be so beautiful and Bad Buddy does an absolutely perfect job at this.

Watching Bad Buddy is a marvelous way to end 2021 and start 2022…

My Friday nights are sure going to be empty... anyway let go and re watch of this awesome drama in one sitting!!!

Cullinary Skills ...

So I started this after watching "Bite Me" hoping for a bit more than what I got from that, and well I cannot say that I was disappointed, was it better nope!!

If I had to compare the food in the previous watched drama was better looking compared to the simply dish in this drama protrayed.

This drama seemed to lacked flow and story line and you kind of had to think of what were their motivations? Why do they do what they do? Why is Jung Woo working with Laura? What is his goal? Why is Do Gun so into keeping true to the basics and so against the innovations and new ideas? Why is he obsessed with working at Laura Dining? What is Laura’s deal? They did not explain anything. Literally not one thing. Who is Jung Woo anyway?

Also the characters did not seem to have any chemistry between them, you get to see the whole apron pull in the first episode and boom we in love, no questions asked, they he find out he lied and his boss betrayed him and he seems to be okay with that like how is that even possible?

There is a lot of room for improvement with this drama -
- the nonsensical plot: why wouldn't the boss just fire the chef and hire the new one?
- choppiness: scenes would just leap from one thing to another,
- the ending, they didn't talk/date for 3 months, what??? The parallel was nice but we all know they should have kissed at the very end.

Overall - Nothing good nothing bad about it, but definately improvements needed to make it great.

LOVED IT!!!

Wow this drama really was well worth viewing if not once but more!!!

I loved the characters esp. Leo Wu .... The main leads chemistry was off the chart and I especially loved the fact that after 5 years he did come back looking a bit more mature with a slight Hair growth, that just added to his whole hotness !!!

This drama even though may have been long, and broken into parts, was played out and set out... every time line and the flow of the scenes was well played and in a timeously way... there was not second guessing as to what was happening and why ... the elders in the drama were really good, and we didn't have to go through the whole back stabbing and not good enough for this person etc ... I loved Shangsong grandmother, she was supper hilarious and really made the drama exciting, I also the emperor, he came out as a more understanding and compassionate king then a ruthless one ... This story has everything from power struggles not just in crown but each involved families in its surroundings. I can see the well plan of details as well as story as it keeps us in all states of emotions.

The production was well set out and the scenes were right with timing and plot that needed to showed.

The music was good.

Overall, Part 1 & 2 has nicely wrapped up the love & emotions of the leads as well the historical series, with a gripping plot and lovable characters, both leading and supporting. Character relationship in Love Like the Galaxy is one of the most precious and unique parts of the drama, showing every kind of love, and not just romantic. Through interactions and experiences, Cheng Shaoshang has finally come to accept her position in the world, and Ling Buyi has come to trust Shaoshang as not just the person he loves, but as her own separate person.

It well worth watching ... definitely a keeping drama when you need to rewatch with nothing else to go through.

Amazing and Excellent

Wow I have watched the series too many times to count, since its release.

Everything about this bromance was really good and the actors were so well sync.

The music was excellent and I actually listen to it every single chance I get.

This drama has made me laugh out loud and cry like a baby, this drama has achieved way more than what other big budget production has not. I do think as fans of BL, especially from China with it's censorship, we need to reward productions who do not skew from the original story, who do non add random female characters, who do focus on story telling with intentions and a POV. ZZH is so good playing the reluctant role of the "mouse" with such subtlety and finesse, that you will find new hints of his intentions at every rewatch. Not to mention all the dynamic supporting roles, written with back stories and characteristic intent that supports this Wuxia JiangHu, he was really amazing in this drama and exceptional HOT. I also love Simon and I think they partnered up really well, just like The Untamed drama, the chemistry was there and acting was so well done. I really loved this drama.

I could honestly say that this fitted in if not a bit better then the untamed, my absolutely two favorite dramas in the bromance line up.

The production team, scriptwriters, costumes/makes up (behind the scenes workers) and cast did an awesome job and bringing the story, setting and each character to life. It was much better than I expected since this is one of the novels from Priest that I enjoy next to another one. The scriptwriter really knows how to add the romance and confessions in the the spoken poetries from KX.

Gonna do another round of re-watching!!!

Started ... Put it on Hold and went back to it

Okay this drama really took me a while to complete and like a very long time, and not because it was not good anything, I just was not invested in it as much as I thought I would be.

Firstly the Gods who are supposed to be GODS are just stupid or childish, what a nonsense ! Sorry, I can't take it. Characters are just cliché and I can't see any interest in the story which seems very stereotype to me. I did not feel the chemistry between the actors and it always seemed so busy, like there was so much going for no apparent reason.
The FL was considerably less annoying than I am used to in these Chinese costume dramas. Her behavior is like a bully, not with power you can bully people, but using her intelligence to bully others, even though repeatedly claimed she was bullied. can't sympathize with her at all. The ML was super ice cold, but i guess his character was written that way.

Overall: If you have enough time or bored as this drama is like 49 episodes of which I felt were really unnecessary then go ahead and give it try.

Definitely not what I thought it would be

It was dragged more than it should have. The whole Por cheating thing should have ended within two episodes also they could have wrapped the whole series within highest six episodes. Both of the main actors are really good but there was no chemistry between them.

I did find tawan to be a little on the doofus side, surely you know be the third text, and avoidance from por that should have been red flagged or that you are being seriously ghosted, why then would you still hold onto something like that?

The other side couples were okay, nothing really fantastic and nothing to dull.

This drama was not what i was expecting, it was like a sweet side story, there was hardly a kiss in this drama, which came across as more of a bromance than a love story or BL.

Overall: Its an okay watch.

Kind of Pitiful ....

The series is a cliché, which carries many problems. We have Third who is in love with his best friend (Khai), and he's a complete jerk. Not because Khai does not return his feelings, but because he is a terrible friend. In the first episode I even sympathized with Third's problems, but by the time the second one arrived, I was already full and wanted him to take the reins of his life and go after someone else, or be alone. What's wrong with being alone? I did third was very pitiful and depressing, how can some endure loving someone who treats you like you rubbish for all those years.

Before I start, let me talk about what I like in the show first before we get down to the downside of this. Firstly, the cinematography is great! I like the editing and I like the movie names being the title of each episode portrayed. It’s creative and it’s nice to see filmology major students instead of the same old engineering, science/medicine or economics major students in Thai BLs. The train scene is also great, it’s shot really nicely and for me is the saddest scene in the show itself.

Khai’s character development was not good enough. While I never liked him for the entire 12 episodes, him falling in love with Third was so rushed and for me, it didn’t make sense. I was questioning the show while watching it and I never got my answers in the end. How and why Third did fall in love with Khai? (I know that Third fell in love with him at first sight but that can’t be the only reason right) What were Khai's good qualities and traits? Why couldn't they show some actual good traits of Khai to the viewers so that I could understand as well instead of wasting so much time on the subplots?

Was it a bad drama? No. But it’s not good either. For me, this drama could have been better. This was a wasted potential for me. Do I recommend people to try this show? Watch it and judge it yourself. You might have a different opinion from me. That's all I could say for this show.

Romeo vs Juliet with a twist

Okay so this drama did kind of catch me by surprise, because I most definitely was not expecting this sort of story.

The story is interesting, in the sense the opening of Korn & Intouch devasting ending, rather than beginning, The series starts with the tragic double suicide of Korn/In, certainly not the lighthearted schoolboys-fall-in-love stuff that is so common in BL (though the characters are students). The double suicide is the result of parental objections to their relationship because of their sexual orientation, a rather serious consequence compared to popular BL series that treat the topic of objecting parents less seriously. the reincarnation or reborn of both the characters years later, but with a heartbreaking twist of how the recall the past lives. I will say that Pharm role and the way he carried his out role was really amazing, you literally felt his emotions and sadness when he recalled a piece of intouch memory. The 4 main characters were really well played and the story flowed through well, you could see the build up of Korn/Intouch through Pharm/Dean and how each of them experienced they love for each in there own, the difficulties and challenges that they faced.

In spite of major fantastical element (reincarnation), the biggest plus for this drama is that it depicts a healthy, positive, loving, realistic gay relationship, nothing is sensationalized or fetishized, there are no toxic tendencies, . On the other hand, homophobia and, especially, suicide are treated seriously and respectfully . Their consequences are serious, horrifying and lasting, the entire families devastated.

Music - This single handily will win over the audience. The lyrics are deep, personal and resonates with the pain of the past and the hope for the future.

Overall : This drama was well thought out and excuted well, there were small hitches, but not enough to take you away from the story and what was transpiring.

Extremely Slow & Boring ...

This drama is short 6 episodes, but they are extremely slow and move along at a snail pace.

I am not exactly sure what the story line is about, as they is no flow to it, its like everyone is everywhere and there is no light at the end of the drama.

For me, it was pretty boring and forgettable. ATTENTION TO BULLYING. CUTE ACTORS. REAL KISSING. Finally!

But yeah, I personally didn't like this. I just felt disconnected from it.

Much of the series is more like a collection of disconnected scenes rather than something that flows together to weave a story. Something will happen one moment and then the next it's like the last one didn't happen.

Overall : This drama is likely to be forgotten by the time i close this off.
