HOLY SMOKE WHAT A DRAMA
This drama was really amazing and sooooo well done that i binged watched over a weekend!!!I loved everything about it the leads the costumes the story line the plots the scenery everything that it had i LOVED IT.
Love Between Fairy and Devil is a xianxia drama, which narrates the story of forbidden love between a devil and a fairy., boy did DW pull off the whole Devil look to the highest point, his acting his expressions his costumes everything he did in this drama well worth and possibly more than a 10 . I also love how the drama sets a certain persona and design for each tribe and realm meticulously. For instance, in the fairy realm, the gods use bright and light outfits and headpieces with overexposure to the lighting. The fairy realm has a very heavy element of the Chinese culture, meanwhile, the demon/ moon realm has a hint of medieval elements in its location, outfits and more. The drama team also paid attention to those small actors/extras like the guards, their outfit is not sloppy, it is fitting to the overall persona they set. Such as the moon palace guards has dark and big outfit which looks intricate!
OSTs [10/10] —
One of the best parts of this drama is those musical scores. There is one for every situation ;)
◍ "Parting Love" (诀爱) - Faye Chan (the stunning illustrations we get for this intro song and the voice! I have never skipped this honestly, it turns out to be my favorite song from this drama, everytime it's played for the leads, it adds a special magic to their chemistry)
◍ "The Oath of Canglan" (苍兰契) - Li Changchao (the song for both Dongfang hellfire and orchid's first powers as well. I love how the singer shifts to a different pitch in middle and the upbeat music behind is just my style, my second favorite)
◍ "Loss of Memory" (失忆) - Yu Shuxin
◍ "Looking For You" (寻一个你) - Liu Yuning
◍ "Shore" (彼岸) - Jing Long & Jing Di
◍ "Longing" (念) - Shuang Sheng
◍ "I Still Remember That Day" (我还记得那天) - Shen Yi Cheng
◍ "I Want To Be With You" (想和你) - Yu Shuxin & Dylan Wang
◍ "Remaining Love" (余情) - Zhou Shen (smoothly ending every episode with his angelic voice)
The Visuals were amazing and set the tone of each episode or character that was been played at the time every realm is uniquely detailed and fleshed out, from makeup to forms of magic used to costumes, interior design, architecture, and customs.
Overall: This drama well worth watching if not for DW but for the story in itself ... Think i will do go a rewatch, as i have not come across any other of this type to grab me so..

Absolutely not what I had expected
Holy smoke its finally over!!!!This drama was a real hot mess, in the terms that it was one of those drama whereby you literally watched but cringed every time you watched it.
It had a good start and Nine was extremely hot in this series, but what earth happened after that OMG!! for me the major let down of this whole was Daonuea gosh he was really annoying and way to childish for me. he throws a fit over nothing. I would love to see him get help for his acting and learning on how to communicate and understand before we just assume and cry like a baby, also Tee was a let down, I took him for a bit of a more mature guy but the lies and deception just kept piling up with all of them, the only saving grace in this drama was Boat & Candy they had such a sweet love and were more level headed the rest of the crew!!
This series had so much potential and yet the entire thing was ruined. everything about this drama was just a mess, and I am left wondering why I started this and carried on watching this till the very end.
Overall: WATCH AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!

Not worth it
firstly this is only 2 episode drama and each 20 minutes!!! Why we needed 2 is beyond my understanding ...This was short that I don't think I even got the understanding of it, the guy goes off to a resort to get away from a breakup and then meets the owner son, falls in love in a matter of seconds and boom its over .... literally the end.. How they thought this actually happens is so unreal
if you need something quick to play in the background while sitting in a car or gaming this is it..
Its short pointless and not worth it (my own opinion)

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.

A well done on this one
This was definitely a better done drama as opposed to the other short stories that came out, this was really enjoyable and well played out.This expanded version of Love Mechanics was the expansion of Vee and Mark's story, however I do feel they could have spent more time on other things, for example, they could have showed how sad Vee was after losing Mark, like they did in the original series. The characters are not meant to be squeaky clean, but even in their worst moments, they’re vulnerable, honest portrayals of what it means to be a painfully flawed and confused human being. Mark and Vee’s interactions are littered with tense, flirtatious interactions and non-answers, making it clear that their relationship is not nothing. But the best thing is that Love Mechanics doesn’t try too hard to fill in the gaps or explicitly articulate what characters are feeling in each scene.
Overall: it is a really a good drama to binge watch in one sitting, I unfortunately did this while it was on going and i really looked forward to every up coming eps. I did like the last one the best, as it showed how far they came to be what they are and the challenges they had to face to get to where there are. A must watch

Not that good
So I started off with the drama, got 2 episodes in and switched over to the movie, as I found this drama/movie really down and not very enjoyable at all.For me, the pacing was really off, it stared off really slow and then sort of dragged out after that, and it went into been really crazy with the bugler and then being saved to then falling in love and wanting to do everything for the guy, who at first stands him up for the movies, to all of a sudden wanting to be with him.
There was no build up of love or anything, and the chemistry was just off not only with the ML but with all of them.
They could have put thought into this and have it spaced out nicely.
Overall: If you going to watch rather opt for the movie to get it over and done with!!

Sweet & Cute and Short
I did enjoy this drama, as it followed on straight from Star & Sky in my mind, and the actors were all the same, I did love seeing the Dao and Kluen every so often in this, it literally can be watched together, as i found the stories very similar and often overlapping.I love all of the characters and I think the casting was done so well. Fah and Prince. Their chemistry is really good! The story between teacher and doctor isn't a new taste, plus its simple packaging makes this series easily to forget in a short time.
Not much to say about, just a change of scenery literally, they were cute moments with the kids, and funny moments as well, but either than that there is really nothing much to say about it.
Overall: its a sweet drama, and can be watched in 1 sitting.

Plus or a Minus
As expected, a relationship goes through a rollercoaster of ups and downs but the show remains rather predictable at most turns with family and relationship drama. I would say that the first half of the series was more watchable than the second half, where the conflict proved to be silly and frustrating.Until it wasn't. First, the secondary couple looked like it might be interesting at first, but it was a dreary slog, with very dull acting and an uninteresting story.
It definitely lacked chemistry and spiciness the scenes they create make the viewers lose interest, from exciting to boring, it lacks drama...
Overall it is a + - to watch this drama..

Not that good but bad either.
The series is framed by a class about love, wherein the students in the class are paired off in heterosexual couples to do a bunch of love experiments. Two girls pair up, because one is in love with the professor, and the other has a stalker, so she's terrified of all men (except Jiwoo, who's too tiny to be scary). and this is really the basis of the whole series.For me it kind of goes down hill after you get the whole idea of what is likely to happen and where exactly we going to end up. This is a series that could have worked if it were twice as long. It simply had too much going on, a lot of it totally unnecessary, to cover in six brief episodes. Almost the entire story is about Jiwoo pursuing Yuna and dealing with her stalker. There almost no BL whatsoever. but to me, it just felt unrealistic and added just to create a problem between the two lovers.
In general, this is a cute but short show, that doesn't focus too much on the queer side, but it makes it a little bit different from the rest.
Overall Again a short drama which can be done is one sitting.

Really Cute
The beginning of the series is largely taken up with a bullying plotline that isn't very pleasant to watch, made worse by the implication that the main character's foster brother has not done anything about this for 3 years. The manhwa makes it clear that he didn't know about it, but that's not at all apparent in the series. The story builds up some dramatic tensions that are more or less handwaved away, so once the boys are together there's really nothing left to say, yet the series continues, leading to an underwhelming finale.So, All wrapped up,
It was a nice little try at the drama. It seems like something someone in school would make or would make for one of those "make in an X amount of time" events. Please no speed running, it needs more story/plot and not to be so rushed. The soundtrack probably needs to be less distracting and choppy. Also absolutely nothing against the actors, Maybe pick actors who are more comfortable with being cast or more experienced with BL? It could make things seem a little less awkward. I'm only saying that because they seemed awkward and stiff during the drama at times.
Overall: it is watchable and sort of cute in a very cringe sort of way, thankfully its a short so one sitting is good enough to watch it.

Not too much of a Hype
There was a lot of Hype for the drama, and I thought lets see what its about. Although my score is low, its not too say that it was bad or anything, its just for me it was not what I would normal get into, because it was good, except, not very memorable for me. Old Fashion Cupcake is a mini little office series about two workers falling in love and finding it at their, "old ages".I only put "Old Ages" in quotation marks cause I don't consider either of them too old for love, especially Togawa. But one thing I appreciate about this series is that we do get to see an older love story, which is very rare to receive in a BL, I also liked the fact the you walked away feeling that love is out is there for everyone despite the stigma of you are too old to love and why should find it, and why a younger person etc .... so for me that was done really well.
I didn’t find it enough entertaining to give it more than a 4.5. The story was kind of boring and very predictable, but I think that was due to the short number of episodes. but this one wasn’t that bad, even though I felt little to no chemistry between the two main actors. Overall it’s a good show, I would recommend it just because you can easily finish it in one sitting.

EXCEPTIONAL !!!!!
This drama for me is the best one for the year of 2022, and possibly for a long time to come, the number of times I have re-watched this is endless ever since it came to an end.The story, the cast, the locations, the productions, the scenes OMG were out of this world, and the fact that this drama has been trending No1 worldwide speaks volumes all on its own.
I love how each of the characters were so well matched and they fitted there partners well, for me Kinn and Vegas were the hottest throughout this drama. The way each learned to trust and love and work out there difficulties was amazing.
Honestly saying this is a 10 start is a little underrated.
I loved it....
Overall: Lets go do another re-watch (LOL)

The Worst Ever
OMG !!!!! This has got to be one of the worst drama of all time.It literally took me a whole week to watch only 12 episodes, I think probably fell asleep through most of them and couldn't be bothered to go back.
This drama is so random, and Milk is so annoying most of the times.
Even if I wanted to summarize this series, I could not as it is incomprehensible and ridiculous. It drifts some some sort of a BL to ending up being a series of jumbled random thoughts of someone's bad dream. This could never be labeled as a Spoiler as there simply no coherent story here at all. If you are looking for a romantic BL, move on.
So, please, save yourself and avoid this show if you can. I know, as a BL fan, we tend to watch almost everything just because is BL or because, if you are like me, don't want to quit watching a show (call it stubbornness or pride)... but in this case, I highly recommend you read a book, knit a sweater, play videogames, clean your room or do something else instead of watching this show that really had nothing of substance to remember it for.

What a bloody Mess
OMG this drama was the absolute worst for these two amazing leads, I really was looking forward to seeing them again after GEN Y, but what a huge let down.This drama made no sense at all, and it was literally all of the show, I don't think i actually just sat and watched it, it was that bad!!
There is nothing positive to say about this, I truly cannot take this drama seriously. It’s as if they made a drama series making fun of drama series. The overacting from actors who are, in fact, normally rather skilled, is confusing and adds another layer of ridiculousness on top of the existing one.
Overall: This was really a waste of screen time, and it was really disappointing for me to see Kimcop act or try too in this drama, they literally been seen in a different light, after watching them in GEN Y

Slow paced
I was really excited for this drama to come out, and actually waited till it finished airing, to start it, and thank goodness I did that, as i am not sure if I would have been able to finish it.This drama was a let down for me, as I found it really slow paced and a few times annoying, I mainly watched this for Kimcopper, and although they did not disappoint on the eye candy side, the drama it self was a let down. Copper was a bit annoying most of the times like to the point of being a little to babyish and also he didn't seem to have enough confidence in his love with Jedi!!! They took the story of Piece/Typhoon and Jedi/Ray and combined the two, where both of their stories overlap with one another. Phoon and Ray have been friends for a while, with Phoon helping Ray with his obsession with Jedi and being a good friend that gives him great advice. And Pierce is the songwriter who writes music for Jedi. So throughout, they all have interactions with one another while simultaneously dealing with their own conflicts.
I did like how in this season phoon character at least developed and made less babyish, but I am not so sure going to to work in the same place as your partner is good idea to start off, but somehow they made it work.
Overall : this is short drama if you have time to waste and can watch while scrolling through phone.
