This was way better than the 1st season!
Jun-Seong & Sung Ho carried the show. You literally get to watch them go from being friends to falling in love (partly due to JS shall I add).I truly feel like this season was made for both of them to meet. Just like how I believe Love is Blind (US) season 1 was the universe bringing Cameron & Lauren together.
PS: I can’t be the only one who thinks Seon-Woo slightly favours the actor Ji Sung. It’s all I can think about anytime he’s on screen lol.

This surprised me
I went into this not expecting much cause I find shows produced by Gmmtv are not usually well fleshed out.But I was quite surprised with this one. The acting wasn’t the best (especially from the side characters) but it was an entertaining watch. And it did have several cringe moments but the main leads chemistry made up for it.
Would I ever watch it again? Probably not, but it was a fun.

This was a beautiful watch…..with a lot of angst.
I vaguely remembered what happened in ‘Unintentional Love’ but I do remember loving these two cause their chemistry was unmatched….I enjoyed this sequel as I do love a good angsty show, and this was done right - but, the ending definitely left me a bit unsatisfied.
I was expecting a time jump…or more scenes post ‘Unintentional Love’. A shame really.
It was also nice to see Gong Chan’s little cameo. It was to be expected, but it would have been even nicer to see him with Cha Seo Won.

This was such a brilliant watch.
A realistic look of queer couples without fetishisation. Loved it! We need more of this….South Korean & many conservative countries need more of this…..Having this would educate so many people & make them realise queer people exist too and are like everyone else.Yon Tae-yun’s story was definitely the highlight for me. I couldn’t help but be happy for him…..Literally bawled my eyes out. I’m so glad he had such a supportive girlfriend (Min-Jun) and mum all through the process. It couldn’t have been easy.
I’m happy for the other couples too. I really do hope they all have a happy life, even if their relationship does not work out.

Oh dear….
I have so much to say about this but I truly do not know how to put my thoughts into words without it becoming a tangent so I’m gonna try my best.Someone described it has a proper queer movie & I could not agree more! It had everything you could ask for…passion..angst…EVERYTHING!
I started off the movie gutted I hadn’t watch it a lot sooner…if only I had remembered why I initially didn’t watch it the first time it was on my radar…If only.
It’s honestly been a while since a queer movie moved me - or got a reaction this did out of me…I literally bawled my eyes out (non stop) in the remaining half of the movie.
I do have to say I went in blind not fully reading the synopsis due to the fact that many synopsis on here tend to contain spoilers, then about 5 minutes in I thought to come back and read it properly. While the thought of something tragic happening did cross my mind. I was not expecting what I got cause I thought ‘gone are the days of queer cinema with sad endings’…..How naive I was.
Lastly, I know this is fictional - but, Kosuke was definitely a godsend to that family and I could not help but hurt for him.
The cast did a fantastic job portraying these nuance characters. We need more of this in Asian queer cinema…of course with more happy endings.

Heartwarming watch
This was an heartwarming watch. I only watched it because I recently discovered its tv adaptation. Thought it would be ideal to watch this before the new one adaptation.There were a few dialogues I disagreed with watching this but putting myself Sugihara’s shoes definitely makes you understand his way of thinking.
It all does come down to cultural differences I think. Looking forward to watching the TV adaptation.

A ‘meh’ from me
I was hoping I would love this but I truly struggled. I’m not one to skip scenes but towards the end I couldn’t help but do so.And to be honest, I was not expecting much as I tend to avoid watching pre 2020 Thai BLs cause I remember how much I struggled with them back then.
But watching ‘Not me’ prior to this gave me a big push cause I wanted to see ‘Off & Gun’ in something else.
While I wouldn’t recommend this, it’s not a full right off. It’s more of a reminder for me to not bother with older Thai BLs.
The scenes with the main couples were great though. They did a good job with what they had. And Gun is a fantastic actor per usual. He has a way of showing emotions in a way many actors in this genre aren’t able to.

Japanese Version of ‘God’s Own Country’ & ‘Brokeback Mountain’
I can see why it was compared to ‘God’s Own Country’ & ‘Brokeback Mountain’. It does have that vibe. Only we didn’t get a gut wrenching ending. So, I highly recommend. It’s a refreshing watch.It was also nice to see an establish Japanese actor in this. Loved Yûki Furukawa in mischievous kiss series.

So ahead of its time. Bravo!
I’m surprised I’m only just watching this…although it does feel like I’ve watched it before. I won’t be surprised if I watched it before ….It was so ahead of its time. Even though it’s short, it’s definitely better than some of the recent stuff that’s come out of Korean LGBTQ+ productions. It was also really nice to see many familiar faces in this. What a brilliant watch.Was this review helpful to you?
Producers if you are reading this PLEASE REMOVE GEO BLOCK! This is so good!
Just finished this and I really hope there is a sequel - it’s so good and it’s got so much potential…it’s a shame it’s not as popular due to it being geo blocked.I really enjoyed it. Exactly what I’ve been looking for in Thai BL…a mature romance that also isn’t just about the romance.

This had everything - all the tropes without the cringe!
I’ve just binged watched the whole thing. It was such a satisfying ending!I’ve been on a Thai BL binge the past few weeks - and I’m just so lucky that quite a few shows are ending at the same time. So I’ve been living. I deffo need to get back to reality at this point.
This whole series was absolutely fantastic.

A freaking masterpiece.
Be On Cloud has done it again! This was honestly a joy to watch. I went in not expecting much but it truly exceeded my expectations.The cast in this was fantastic! The leads chemistry were just unmatched. Including the side characters too.
Honestly a gorgeous gorgeous! storytelling & cinematography. Literally had me gripped at the edge of my seat from episode 1 till the end. I genuinely didn’t want it to end.
Saying that, I shouldn’t have been so surprised at how good this was considering it’s a Be on Cloud production. Definitely on my top 3 favourite watch this year. And I definitely need to check out more of their work.

Just incredible.
This is definitely one of the best shows I’ve watched this year and I’ve seen a lot…the cast did an incredible job with their characters. Although we’ve seen a boom in Thai BL (goodness, it doesn’t feel right to call this BL) with good plot in recent years this definitely scratched that itch I’ve been craving since Kinn Porsche & Not Me - so I’m genuinely not surprised that this was so good. BOC never disappoints. I pray they continue giving us these type of GEM!Was this review helpful to you?
WAY TOO UNDERRATED!
This show actually knocked me off my feet!It’s so underrated. I can’t believe I almost didn’t watch it. It has got to be the best one this year so far - and I have watched a LOT of 2025 BL shows.
I wasn’t so shocked with some of the plot twists and a few definitely had me gasping - but what I was not expecting was that last reveal!
It’s way too underrated and I can’t wait for season 2! The cast did a fantastic job!
And hats off to the Korean actors too cause acting in a different language cannot be easy, but they were able to convey their emotions through it - especially the second lead. Just bravo!

I need more gems like this…we need more gems like this.
I started this not knowing what to expect andgoodness, was I impressed!
Considering the premise, the production did a good job. The actors also did such a phenomenal job in portraying their characters.
I genuinely did not want it to end. I’m hoping for a sequel but I doubt we will ever get one.
I would love to see the two male leads in a different show together, their chemistry was so beautiful to watch….genuinely felt like I was intruding in some scenes.
I honestly need more well written gay stories and tv-shows like this.
