First impression
I'm happy to see Seto Toshiki in yet another BL.The start is giving My Beautiful Man in the worst way possible. I really didn't enjoy that series, so seeing how similar the beginning is gave me a strange feeling. However, I can tell that the rest of the series won't be like that, so I'm looking forward to more.

Episode 1:
I generally had no expectations for this series, but that was an incredible start.
I really like both of the main leads, their dynamic and everything else.
I'm really excited for the next episodes.
Episode 2:
* I really like how Seto Toshiki looks here, they really made him look great for this series. Dark hair and glasses are a great look on him.
* I like the intro song. Japanese BL's/GL's always have great OSTs.
* I like seeing the main character navigating and learning how to act with their new dynamic now that he is no longer giving commands.
* Takaaki is so down bad it's insane.
* I'm really proud of Naoya, he is growing more and more with each passing episode.

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.
Where to watch: https://wetv.vip/en/album/z8grnsk4uhwvfb0
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.

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.

So far it's quite good, I didn't like the start, but it's growing on me. I like the acting, and the visuals are also great.Episode 1:
* I absolutely am not a fan of them showing us the whole series in the first few minutes of the episode as an intro.
* The way those girls won't back off even after Chiharu rejected the confession is so irritating. No means no, and he definitely did not owe them an explanation.
* That ending was so unexpected but not in a bad way. Now I'm definitely excited to see how it will continue.

Episode 1:Incredible so far, I had low expectations for this drama, but it definitely is much better than expected. Great acting, beautiful visuals, and a really interesting and engaging storyline.
So far there are some things that I am confused about, but that only makes me more interested and invested in future episodes.
Episode 2:
I like Song Haneul, he is a nice ray of sunshine in such series.
Even though I understand the "prosecutor's" point and his reasons to act the way he does, I still think he can be a bit more civil while talking to the main character.
His way of coping with everything is definitely not the best.

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.

IQIYI: https://www.iq.com/play/knot-episode-1-c3hbjhxtcg?lang=en_us?lang=en_usPretty good start, better than expected. I am really interested so far due to there being a miserable number of omegaverse series. I'd say that from what I've seen, they have done the best with portraying the omegaverse world in a BL series.
After all of the Run's slop series, I just really hope this one is his redemption arc.
Episode 1:
* I like the Boat's haircut in this series.
* The main character being 20+ and not knowing what secondary gender is while clearly living in an omegaverse world is a bit bizarre to me.
* Not the biggest fan of the special effects so far, but it's not too bad.
* I like that the main character has some "character" to him, because people often portray omegas somewhat childish, weak, etc.
* The text on the screen every time they introduce a new character made me laugh at first. I'm sure there is a better way to show information about them without making it this whole thing.
* I was getting confused at first due to the number of characters. Especially with most of them being introduced the first few minutes.
* The end of the first episode was too coincidental, in my opinion. Surely there are a hundred other ways they could've met for the first time.
Episode 2:
* I find it weird how Nakhun's mother looks younger than her kids, while the father looks quite old.
* Nakhin kissing Phatsa's friend/brother (?) while he was in distress, crying and fighting, was absolutely uncalled for, especially since that was their first time meeting.
