First impression
Really strong start. It reminds me a lot of the Japanese series Jack o' Frost. I like the acting, and also the quality of the series itself is pretty good.But yeah, so far, so good—a little bit sad, a little bit cute; hopefully it will be able to keep its momentum.

Things I liked:
1. Great acting.
2. The main character's boyfriend is extremely understanding and accommodating.
Things I disliked:
1. Communication skills at both the age of 19 and the age of 29 are so terrible, from both the main character and his boyfriend.
2. I don't particularly like the barista who works at the main character's sister's cafe. He is too flirty, in my opinion, for just some barista, especially since I am 100% sure he knows the main character has a boyfriend of 7 years.
3. Main character. I know that it's probably mostly because of his memory loss, but he keeps acting like a 10-year-old brat, and it really pisses me off.

I'm obsessed. It is so cute, definitely a new comfort series.
Incredible cinematography, great acting.
It's just so good, I can't believe it. I really had no expectations, but oh my god, it is just perfect.
I haven't seen Almond and Progress in action before, but I can say that they are really great together.
I am also insanely excited for KenPaul, they are also super sweet and cute. They really deserve their own series, but that's another separate discussion.
Episode 2:
The main characters' chemistry is something else; I love the innocence of their relationship and love how sweet and naive our main Ko is.
Paul, as always, is a cute little sunshine, his smile melts my heart.
I'm super invested and excited for the future episodes.
Episode 3:
Don't have much to say today except for how good everything is. Good acting, beautiful cinematography, great chemistry—everything is just perfect.

So far, I like it a lot, and I'm excited to see more. But unfortunately I am one of those people who were wishing for a happy ending (because I believe that while realistically in real life this situation would've not ended necessarily well, people who have a religious background or religious trauma deserve to get their happy ending despite what their "God" wants), but from the way it started, I could sort of tell that it would either have a sad or a bittersweet ending.
Of course it's all just my theories, and it might end up with a happy ending regardless, but I am still a bit sad because I don't really believe it.
Still though, I can tell for sure that I will love this series regardless of the ending it will have because already I'm obsessed. It has a good acting, great cinematography and of course GeminiFourth chemistry is as always of charts. So yeah, I'm excited for more. I'm sure they won't disappoint.

Extremely hard to watch
I really tried to get into it because of all the good comments and reviews on this, but omg, I really hate it. I thought trying to fight through the first minutes would probably be rewarding in the end, but I couldn't even finish the first episode.The acting, if you can call whatever clown show they had in there that, was SO TERRIBLE, I'm not even joking.
The only reason I even started watching this series is because of the actor Tong. Since I saw him perform well in other series of his, I really had some expectations. And after reading all the reviews about how underrated this series is, I just had to give it a go.
Well, that was clearly a mistake. In the end, their so-called “acting” made my skin crawl from cringe. Unbearable watch, Pangpond's acting definitely pissed me off the most. Girl, what are you doing?
At this point it feels like the director was just BEGGING them to perform their worst and to act the cringiest they can.
Putting all that toxicity to the side, I truly believe that it could get better later on if you just sit through all the cringe. But I just couldn't do that, so if it really gets better later on, I would like to apologize for my outburst. I still am not watching that or giving it another chance though ;))
So yeah, not much else to say except for… Never again, I'm good on that.

Funny and cute, nice start. One thing that is kind of annoying in my opinion is the fact that they are dropping one episode a week when episodes are 10 minutes each; that is just a bit insane, but other than that, it is pretty good so far.Where to watch: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNd7BhdAz80qVJk7itfRXCdPNMTvPAVYd
Episode 1-2:
So far, really good, nice, and understandable storytelling. Interesting plot. Pretty good acting as well as cinematography.
The bathroom scene of them getting electrocuted though... Not the best, ahaha.
Also, I'm not a professional, but I'm pretty sure they used AI in that bathroom scene, which is immediately minus points for me.
Episode 3:
I like the acting; these actors are pretty good at switching from playing one character to another.

First impression
So far overall, I really like the concept of this series, it's really interesting and feels kind of new. I really like the start to the series, and I hope it will continue to be good without losing its momentum. I'm excited to see more.Episode 1:
I can tell from what I see that Itsuki is quite distanced and less emotional than Yuma, even when they were still a couple in the little interview they did for the TV; you can tell that. I can't tell if that means that he was less emotionally invested in the relationship or maybe showing his emotions less than Yuma. And maybe that's the reason for their breakup, but all of that is mostly just my speculation.
So far all we can see is happening from the TV show perspective, but I do hope for a little switch where we can see behind the scenes more.
I can really appreciate how this series shows so much about the real struggles all LGBTQ+ folks have to endure and go through. So far this series is really good at portraying that kind of stuff, and I really love seeing that.
As I watch more, I can tell that Itsuki is quite socially awkward, so I think I am wrong about him being less emotional and distanced than Yuma, and it's rather that he just isn't a social person or doesn't like showing his emotions in public.
Initially I thought the whole series was just going to be a jump of POVs from a TV program to behind the scenes and so forth, but I started to realize that it might not be the case.
Right now my new guess is that the first episode is for the TV program as sort of an introduction to our main characters, and the next episodes will be in a more familiar type of format for a BL series.
The description to this series says: "Yuma strives to be the perfect partner, while Itsuki feels suffocated by those expectations." And I've got to say, you can really tell, the more I watch, the more I can see how uncomfortable Itsuki is.
Even though he was still acting quite awkward during an interview even while they were still together, now it's even worse, and you can really see that.
The ending of the first episode, leaving us on a sort of cliffhanger, has made me even more invested and excited for the next episodes.
Episode 2:
We are back to the start of the filming process, but now we are behind the scenes.
Itsuki seems kind of mean. I don't know their reason for the breakup, so maybe he has a reason to be this way towards Yuma. But I don't know, I still don't think it's really okay to be that sort of mean to your ex, especially since you still live with him.
They constantly get into little petty fights. Even the person filming them for the show says that they don't look like a couple, which is true; they are not a couple anymore, but still the animosity is definitely in the air. Mostly from Itsuki, though I don't know which side I'm on and if I even want to take sides, but I don't know if I agree more with Yuma acting for the camera like they are still a couple and there is no problem or with Itsuki throwing little eye rolls and petty things during filming as well as behind the scenes.
They both clearly have their own things they are going through. The problem is that they don't try and fix it in a healthy way.
I love seeing a little cute and silly side of Itsuki.
Episode 3:
The president/CEO always does or says something weird. I do believe that he doesn't mean to be so misogynistic and at times homophobic, but a lot of his actions are exactly that, and it's nothing less than annoying.
Seeing Naomi in such a state is incredibly sad. Postpartum depression is a scary thing, and even though I cannot relate, I can tell that it is really hitting her.
While I love that this series shows so much about the struggles that LGBTQ+ people go through, I also really appreciate that they show the struggles other parts of society go through.
Specifically, I can greatly appreciate how they show what a lot of women go through with Mori Naomi and Kayano Shiho.
They both are female characters that are here to show/represent so much more than just being a female side character. That's why I really love this series so far; it's portraying real-life problems.

First impression
Episode 1:* So far I'm not the biggest fan of Kaji. He seems a bit too self-centered and arrogant. Rating people by their looks, not my kind of person.
As well as only starting to treat Fukami like a human when realizing that he is not as "ugly" as he thought, going back to treating him terribly after Fukami wasn't interested in continuing sleeping with him.
* Some visual effects in this series are killing me.
* Lackluster acting.
* Asking your coworker if they are a top or a bottom and in the next sentence asking to hook up is crazy.
* So far it's alright. I'm not too into it, but I'd say it's good enough to give it a chance.
