Its me duh

Cute, slowburn bl for foodies

Although I'm not typically a big fan of Korean Bl, I really enjoyed this one. To be honest I just randomly picked this series to watch since it had been on my watchlist for a long time. I always feel like romance and representation lacks when it comes to K-BL. What I do like about K bl is that it's always short. This series is 8 episodes and around 25 minutes long per episode. The bl did have some of the typical 'Korean drama moments', which were actually really cute.

The whole aesthetic is adorable and well dressed. It's a Kdrama so this might be a bit expected but the acting felt real and not uncomfortable. I love how it's super slow burn, but if you don't like slow burn I obviously don't recommend this series.

I normally don't like series with 'reunion' because it feels very unoriginal and repetitive. But this one is really different than others that use it. The old classmate becoming neighbour is actually quite nice to the plot. However, It also didn't take ages for Do Hoon to figure it all out, which is normally the problem I have with that type of plot. I do not like the flashbacks though, they felt really unreal and fake, probably because they looked older than high school students.

I LOVE the food plot. My mother has a food business and bl's with a restaurant always have a special place in my heart. The love through food reviewing feels really original. It felt like a super cute cozy bl and kinda felt like they already lived together. I love their relationship trope so much.

The whole love triangle was just perfect, I did feel like super bad for Do Hoon, even if it wasn't the fault of Yoon soo. The whole misunderstanding added a super well done plot. I LOVE angst so if you like angst this is definitely your series but don't expect the best angst ever. I really recommend this series especially for people who like slow burn, food and K-BL. Also for new Bl watchers since it's simple and just cute, not a huge plot or plot twist. I love it super much!!

Very different than cutie pie

Did I rewatch cutie pie and cutie pie 2 you purely for Naughty babe?? Definitely. I watched cutie pie when it was airing and after it was finished I had seen the show 4 times, having to rewatch everything for Naughty babe. I kept forgetting to watch naughty babe and just rewatched cutie pie over and over again (yes stupid).

After watching cutie pie 1 and 2 I was kinda confused about the relationship between Khondiao and Yi. Like they had subtle foreshadowing like Khondiao losing his memory etc but I just couln't help but be confused. Why were they married and what was exactly going on between them? Maye I wasn't really well focused on certain details but I also kinda forgot what Khondiao studied.

Anyways in my opinion this series is wayyyy more funnier than cutie pie, although I'm not sure whether or not I should compare it. I loved this series extremely and if I can be honest... more than cutie pie. Season 1 feels veryyy serious and Khondiao and Kuea are both portrayed as the 'innocent' boyfriends. However both of them had changed in this series. Kuea seems to be wayyy less 'cute boy' ish, probably because he's able to be who he wanted to be. And Khondiao is explained so much better and not just from a 'therapist friend' kinda way.

I loved the clear friendship between Kuea and Khondiao anddd between Yi and Kilen. Kuea showed this season how he also returns the advice he got from Khondiao. What I miss is the friend group from Kuea but I also realised that Khondiao is not really involved with them. It was nice to also get introduced to Khondiao's friends ESPECIALLY when Winner came up (Kong). Also surprised to see Est play his first bodyguard role hahahha. I only know Est from his iconic Mok and not On. Never expected he did a side character who was also a bodyguard.

Kinda confused at one point because they keep leaving out the part about Kuea's aka Kirin's singing career. Like it's kinda disappointing they kept it such a low topic since I'm a huge fan of Nunew's singing career. And his song ไอ้คนน่ารัก.

Extremely cute how they formed a family at the end and I was to be honest kinda expecting the dad of Chun to push Khondiao to adopt Chun or like get between Phayak and Khondiao. Thank godd that didn't happen.

This was sooo good

I really loved this series and it felt pretty relatable since I also moved from the country side to the city. The loneliness is so real. Also really liked how they showed it in the serie. Something that didn't make much sense was how Seo Jae Won and Kim Ji Hyeon kept meeting everywhere?

The music was fucking peak to bro, and the scene in the bus together omg... anyways I also really liked how they had this moment of like realisation but it was also kinda sad lmao, I fucking cried lmao. The loneliness is shown ssooo well to. I love the owner of that bar that kept giving Ji Hyeon advice she was so nice omg. Also poor Jae Won, his therapist was quite the opposite of the boss lmao.

Anyways loved this definitely recommended! Especially if u wanna cry :3

Short but adorable story

It's not really like I expected it to be, but I like this series more like this. I was expecting this to be a reunion after reincarnation story but it's wayyy beter. I think the creators went really creative. I love how certain emotions are shown more than other and the way they build this story up to the ending is so good to.

This series definitely deserved episodes from 1 hour long but it's fine the way it is now. The ending, the tears are all over my pillow now. This series was sooo good. One thing I kinda missed was the backstory but in the end it was about the present, not the past exactly.

Cute, simple bl and extremely good !

This was such a cute bl. I normally watch bl's that are 50 minutes per episode but I found it extremely relaxing that this bl was only 20 min per ep. What I personally really like the most is the setting, I'm such a big fan of the country side ish settings and it makes me always really happy, one thing that was a little bit less exciting, that was the acting of Yoon do Jin, BUT it was only a few moments where I had to cringe or it just looked fake, overall, it is amazing acting for on-screen debut!!

It was super cutesy, I really enjoyed this bl, even if it was simple. It was full of green flags and just really cute. No pointless arguments. Just cuties. Really recommend!

If you wanna make a complicated plot, then don't make the series so short.

This is a complicated plot. If u wanna make such a plot make longer episodes, It could be so much better. I see a lot of people talk about the acting but not gonna lie, the acting is not the best but I guess it's alright. My main problem with this series is that everything seems rushed and low budget. I don't mind low budget movies or series, because they can be extremely good too, but the amount of episodes x the playtime is making me cry. The plot is nice, but they used a very short series to work it out. If they made even the slightest change, like each episodes 10 minutes, it would've been such an improvement.

Overall, I liked it but it lacks lore and plot, and it could be at least a bit longer.

Rewatched it 2 times, this is and stays one of my comfort shows

Holy sh1t, where do I begin... first time I watched this, it was extremely confusing, I had no idea what was going on and I just didn't understand the lore. But the thing is, that doesn't matter, this show is about Khanin, who is new to the nation of Emmaly, just like us lol. Even though he grew up hearing about it, it is also his first time coming there. Everything is and will be exlained, aside from that, I was personally really confused with which region was which and who ruled which. But based on the colours of their suits, you can tell them apart.

Now for my second rewatch, I really enjoyed it more than the first time, even though nothing was new, I felt like I understood the series so much better. It was just clearer and still as comforting as the first time. The main reason I love this series is because of the SUPER well written side characters, the story follows a pretty realistic timeline and Khanin and Charan's relationship was soooo adorable. Also I love ZeeNunew and they definitely did a good job once again! :3

I was pushing this one away and I regret it.

Alright, this was soooo good, but really different than I expected. I was afraid it was gonna be to sexual, due to the title of this series. But it really wasn't. The whole thing was super cozy and cute, I really like how sweet their relationship was and how caring they were over each other, I don't really like how rushed everything became at the ending but that's alright, it's just a series anyways. I'd definitely recommend this and I personally regret waiting to watch this one!

Originally I didn't think I would enjoy the concept but the power was not as cringy as I expected, and they also didn't make the power thing look low budget, what a lot of 'power' bl's do have.

The opposite of what I expected

This was a really cool series and something totally unexpected. I have a bad habit on picking movies or series based on their poster. This series came across my fyp on Netflix once and I just couldn't help it so I immediately put it on my list. Some time past and I realised I forgot to watch the show, so here I am. I am genuinely surprised, mainly because it's an Netflix original. Look, Netflix makes good shows for sure, but a lot of times I just don't like them. Aside from that, this is an amazing series, actually fun and I love the plot.

One thing I always appreciate is a good character introduction. I never questioned who did what and what their backstory was. In the beginning I was a bit confused about the amount of characters but after a bit it starts making sense. I was irritated by Chae Ni in the beginning. Her behaviour just pissed me off but after a few episodes she seemed stronger and I started liking her more. The character development is insane here. After Chae Ni, Gyeong Un and Kang Ro Bin find out about the wonder kids they just seem different. More mature, more locked in and their motivation to work for Lee Un. I was confused what power each one of them had but I loved how I figured that out around the same time as they realised it.

The production of this is soo good, I'm in love with it. I don't watch many Kdrama's and prefer Thai drama's but this show is just... amazing. The director, Yoo In Shik has made a lot of shows that I want to watch like Extraordinary Attorney Woo. I'm just surprised by the clean transitions. I really like certain shots and some scene's. I'm actually rlly surprised about the quality of the series and it is way nicer than I expected. The composer is amazing with a huge portfolio aswell. I'm a big fan of the intro with the cool stop motion and art done.

The reason my review is a bit lower than others is because I did feel bored in the beginning, especially the first episode. Actually, I was about to drop it after the first episode. The only reason I stayed was her wish to travel and I expected her to. Kinda disappointed she didn't. But then after the surprise of the powers, I started getting very locked in. I have to admit that I had trouble staying focussed and wasn't binge watching it like I usually do. I also stayed for the romance between Lee Un Jeong and Eun Chae Ni. Actually, I didn't ship them at first and didn't even expect any romance but something in Lee Un's eyes gave off some adore sooo I could't help myself. But don't watch this series for romance. Not gonna lie, for humour this really wasn't for me. I rlly loved the friendship between Son Gyeong, Kang Ro Bin and Chae Ni but the jokes just didn't hit for me. Maybe I'm just to much of a serious person... Also the plot for the grandma was confusing me, like she did what, huh?

I'm disappointed in Lee Un Jeong... why did he do that????? Honestly, his character confuses me a bit. I find him insanely handsome and I just assumed he was an introvert. His backstory is really sad but I'm just confused why he sent Chae Ni to those ppl for her heart. Maybe I just missed a detail I was honestly very distracted unlike other times when I watch series. Also why did he suddenly regret it?? Anyways... his looks bro. I just didn't like the ending. Too much new plot and just got confused over and over again. This is just not for me.

Overall, I expected them to travel and not this dark. I did really enjoy this but it was hard to get through. But it might be because it's not my usual genre. Please watch it yourself to form an opinion!!I hear a lot of people talking about wanting a 2nd season, honestly, I would love that even if I didn't like the series that much. I rlly hope they'll actually travel the world if there comes a season 2. Anyways, I enjoyed it but it was not my type of drama.

All I can say is wow.

This series left me speechless. I'm genuinely surprised I have seen no one really talk about this show. Before you hesitate I'M BEGGING YOU let this have a chance. At first I was extremely about watching this series because of the description. I wasn't sure what to expect but I was scared Korn would only pursue Lin and ignore Win, If you get what I mean. I'm genuinely so surprised and I have to say, another favourite series from EarthMix!! I started this with the feeling something bad/sad would happen, which I'm not gonna give spoilers on in the headline. Apparently there was backlash on this show which I just can't believe...

I love the original concept of the road trip while having to collect holy water from 4 temples in 7 days. It's super original!!I always like series/movies where the location is something farm or countryside related. So that made it extra fun for me. The switching bodies is not very original but the way they put it is with Win having to 'safe' his sister. I also like the soul concept and I love how Buddhism is used In this, this is coming from a buddhistic person. Of course it's Thailand but it just made the series a bit more interesting and special to me.

About the soul's, this was very complicated to some people maybe. You see Win played by Mix each time they meet people who 'know' the actual soul inside Win. I really like this because it leaves the impression that Korn sees Win as Win even if he's stuck in Lin's body. If they didn't add this I'm gonna be honest but I wouldn't have seen a difference in people.

I like how they showed that Win actually had issues with 'being' his sister. I feel bad for Win because he kept forgetting he was trapped inside his sister's body. That monk at the first temple had to let Win be reminded that he was in Lin's body. The discomfort when he got his period as well and when he was 'assaulted'. I get why Mix would wanna go back to his original body because he clearly felt like he was 'using' his sister's body, but then again, he was not able to. He kept having reminders he was not himself even though their souls swapped. Him being hesitant to actually like Korn back was extremely valid. I was so afraid Korn would end up falling in love with Lin because he was 'seeing' Lin's body the whole time. I felt so bad for Win and I'm happy that wasn't the end.

Sorry, but I am again making a small paragraph about how amazing the ost is. With again I mean that I often do this in other reviews as well. I actually knew the song Closer (ไม่ไกลหัวใจ) before this series. The song makes me so emotional each time I hear it and that rarely happens because normally I don't like 'emotional' songs. It's not emotional, it is just such a sweet song... Honestly each time it was played through the series I felt like "oh shit there will be a part where I'll have to cry purely because of the song." This song gives me some sort of weird nostalgic feeling. . Hearing the song makes me sad every fucking time.

Ok so this was the last EarthMix series I had left to watch, until Cupid's ghost comes out of course. I have to say, EarthMix are one of my favourite actors under Gmmtv when it comes to their series. I'm not even joking, now that I've seen everything, they leave me impressed every time. I love EarthMix's acting a lot and every series they've played in just hits different, It's as if gmmtv gives them the more complicated series, I am not sure how to explain this, I find it hard to describe. Also Mix and Jan GENUINELY look alike, I hope they'll be casted as sibling again if that's ever needed, because Jesus Christ. I don't even think I can separate these roles irl.

Overall, Please give this series a chance if you keep pushing it away, you'll regret not watching it earlier. It's so good and just everything about this series makes me wanna cry from nostalgia. The ending was extremely peak, trust me.

Yearning final boss

I had such a different idea of this show in my head than it ended up being. I love EartMix and their other shows are incredibly good and as someone that has seen each of their shows, I have to admit that this one had the best acting together with only friends dream on. I really lived with this story and I could honestly feel more from Tian's side than Phupha's. I have had this series on my watchlist since 2021 (since it started airing) but I was always to scared that it wouldn't be something I liked, and boy was I wrong. I did have very different expectations.

Started with what the hell is going on, didn't really understand it because a lot of information was thrown at once, so I missed a slight part. The second episode everything cleared up pretty fast and it wasn't bad that the build took so damn long. One thing that irritated me in the beginning and it's not particularly bad is that it gives off those typical 'person that died' vibes. Always the camera and the slowed laughing scenes. Gonna excuse this series since it is slightly older (2021 feels like yesterday). It just kinda irritates me and that type of scene is really over used. The Intro gives me 2021 Gmmtv flashbacks and it makes me sad. The drawn characters and everything... I miss it.

Like I mentioned before I expected something veryyy different. Actually I was expecting a university trope, especially since GMMTV 2021 did that trope a lot. If you follow my reviews you know I'm lazy asf and just randomly select something without looking at the context and watch it. I always do that also for this one. 0 regrets and genuinely one of my fav tropes Is the village/community trope once. It's cute.

My father's EarthMixx. I love sooo many of their series, like I said, this one is one of my favourites. The acting is fucking excellent, better than in most of their series. The fact they were both pretty new in the industry makes me really proud. I was genuinely shocked at the acting work. I could understand everything from Tian's side the most, since the clear attention layed on him. He was the new one to the village, and the one with the big secret. And we didn't know much about Phupha in the beginning.

Incredibly unique story, creativity was a need in this project. I love the colouring extremely much as well. I like how they kept adding weight to Tian's chest. Adding rare feelings like actual yearning, guilt, identity and more. Another strong thing I liked when watching it was how Tian kept a secret from Phupha and how it changed their relationship. I love the uncommon tropes. Also funny that Tian is a rich boy.

Sometimes you don't need words to show your love or interest to a person. As for Phupha, he was staring. It was so cute and the tension was amazing. The staring was looking deep into Tian's eyes filled with love. There was this weird ache whenever they were alone. This series is pretty slowburn, which I like extremely much. One thing about me is that I'm not easily emotional, but this series made me cry, which is rare. The cinematography is amazing, like every thing in this series.

Not your average bl

Trigger warning before watching this series: cutting on human skin, drugs, dead (all fake ofcourse)
Trigger warning for my own review: killing mentioned.

Not sure what to expect, 8 episodes for a plot like this sounded like it might lack plot. I loveeee a bl with interesting tags and storylines, since it's quite rare, so I was afraid those 8 episodes would be way too few. I did really like the whole doctor x police trope and suspense mixed with bl. I wasn't the biggest fan at first since in my opinion, the Intro is extremely ugly and I'm not a big fan of the Background Score they used, it annoys me. But this is a series you will binge and you will get more and more curious

Extremely well done introduction of the characters, often you kinda have to figure out who has what role but it's very clear from the start, which is nice when it comes to these type of mystery series since usually it can be extremely wary. I'm gonna be honest I did not trust Dr. Kantaphat since the beginning, the way he acts, the way he is linked to certain deaths is.. let's say weird, but he did seem genuine when it comes to his patient, like he actually cares for them.

The way the actors acted made it feel incredibly real. And I mean really real. I fucking love how serious and well done they act. Even one small emotion on their face can make you feel different about them. I'm so in love with the acting Jesus Christ, I would watch this series again pure for the whole acting.

Through the show you'll keep suspecting Dr. Kantaphat, I'm not giving a major spoiler on who ended up being the killer but I was super confident it was Dr. Kantaphat. Not only because of his actions but his acting aswell. At the beginning of the first episode I actually didn't suspect him BUT around the ending of the first ep I was SO confident it was Dr. Kantaphat. Later on In the story I feel like the whole killing that PROBABLY Dr. Kantaphat was actually with good intentions of not wanting any other patient to die in pain. I felt like Wasan's mom might've been killed by Dr. Kantaphat aswell. I have no more comment on this since the spoilers.I was confused whether or not probably Dr. Kantaphat actually cared about the pain or was it really just a murder.

One of the things I've mentioned before but will mention again is something I'm not a fan of in this series and that is the sound effects and music. There is a clear overuse of sound effects and even if it does work quite often, sometimes it becomes to much. As if 1 episode has at least 30 minutes filled with background music.

If you are a big romance fan I do not necessarily watch this for the romance. Yes, the acting is good so you notice clear attraction, BUT you can notice Wasan ALWAYS suspecting Kantapat. I love the conflicted emotions he has. What I don't really like about Wasan is his lack of empathy in certain moments, he can only think about the whole 'rules' and 'police' thing and it fucking irritates me.

Ending broke me, but you have to see it for yourself. In my opinion this is one of the most underrated pieces out there. My poor friends WILL hear about this series.

Gender dysphoria, cross dressing and internalized homophobia

(SA mentioned!!)
I LOVED this series, and I mean with my whole heart. Genuinely one of my comfort series. I never expected to like this so much and that has one big reason, the fucked and lacking representation a lot of Japanese or Asian drama's have on transgenders and anyone falling under the trans umbrella. And recently I have rarely rated a movie or series a 10/10 aswell. Decided to watch it mainly because I like short series, with short episode. I feel like I can really relate to this series as a female looking guy, I'm always judged. I love how it's filmed and edited in the typical 2000s-1990s Japanese style.

I love how they added internalised homophobia, however, I'm not a fan of the bullying scenes. They were heavily needed through this whole series but I can't believe Futoshi was okay and accepted the apologies so fast. I did have to laugh extremely much at the them catching the guy who is homophobic use their lipstick lmaooo.

I was kinda confused until the last few episodes, does Futoshi just like cross dressing? Is she a Trans girl? Or maybe just body dysphoria? Through the show I notice they are just experiencing with gender a lot, but it clear there's also some dysphoria. I doubt they identified as a girl but definitely liked being treated like one. (I'm calling Futoshi them.) No matter what Futoshi actually identified as, the representation was extremely well and without clearly having dysphoria scenes there it was very obvious those feeling were involved.

Another extremely well done part in the series. Often, SA is portrayed wrong and as a victim it really sucks to see characters forget about the SA the next day. Again, especially in Asian and American series the SA scene's are often easily pushed into a series to create some trauma. But in this series it was super accurate and I'm really happy about that. I'm gonna be honest I didn't think weird of that teacher at first until he made fun of them in front of the class with the spanking. I still trusted him and then was quite surprised when he actually did so. I love how they made me trust him at first, showing how wrong you can be about someone.

I heard people mention the ending is very different in the. manga and now I'm hyped to read the manga aswell. In my opinion the ending was quite lacking and it was nice but could be nicer. I was also kinda confused who Futoshi ended up with but that's my fault for watching this at 12am.

I'm a trans person aswell, I'm not open about this and I let people figure my gender themselves hoping they'll get it right. It's very exhausting but I don't exactly feel comfortable saying I'm trans in my class since I feel like they are already talking behind my back. I feel like I can relate soooo much to Futoshi.

Uhm... sure

Overall, I thought it's reallyyy cute and I didn't really know what to expect since I just casually chose something on my list. I like this show, like I said it's really cute but uhhh. I love the intro, it's really cute and the overall aesthetic is super cute aswell. Anyways, I'm really curious what I'm gonna think of season 2 because I'm not sure what to expect. It's giving Kdrama vibes with the silent moments and I wouldn't be surprised if they took some inspiration from it.

I already read Minato Shouji Coin Laundry the manga before and I used to really like it. A lot of times when series get adapted from VERY popular manga's it's kinda upsetting because I might have to high of expectations. What I loved though is that the episodes are short. As someone who binge watches Bl it's perfect to watch in a night. The first episode really goes well with the weather of today in my country,

Next thing, the reason why I'm not sure what to think of it. I'm gonna be honest right here, but I do NOT like the whole age gap thing in this series. It's weird and I just don't like it. "But he turned 18". A 17 year old was hitting on a 27 yr old before he turned 18 hun. And then the 'wet' dream and the "What am I saying, he's just a minor" thing adds to the weirdness. And it was like reverse grooming? Like a 30ish year old man getting flirted on by a 17 yr old? What made it worse was Katsuki being saved by Minato when he was 7 years old. Victim gets groomed by teacher so the victim grooms to another person back.

You can obviously notice that Minato was groomed by his teacher. "But his teacher didn't like him" we don't know AND he was clearly flirting or creating a bond that is a bit weird with a student. I don't understand why sooo many Japanese drama's/manga's do this. It irritates me and it's definitely not the first time they add some grooming to the drama.

Regret not watching it earlier

Had this series on my list for a long time, and I mean like, ever since it released. I wanted to watch something new and remembered this was still on my list. Now I regret not watching it earlierrrrr

KIT IS SO ADORABLE UGHHH THE FIRST TIME I SAW HIM I WAS GOING CRAZZYY. Like all of the characters/actors look so unique with their own style and I love the concept of them being able to wear their own clothes, since that normally isn't accepted in Thai schools. The outfits helloooo?? Im jealous I need those fits!! ESPECIALLY PER AND TAR'S. LIKE IM THINKING ABOUT SCREENSHOTTING SOME OF THE BEST FITS AND RECREATE THEM BROOO. Typical cute gmmtv doodles in the intro and outro I LOVE IT

The teachers were so adorable, I loved their dynamic and I loved how they were like the comfort teachers of the school. They were so healthy aswell it was so cute!!

Using ai for animation mayor.... even if some of the work wasn't it, I don't like the idea. I'm on an art school and I know it takes a lot of time to make something. Would've been nice if they asked their creation team to make something like those doodles?

A lot of reassuring talking, romantic interactions but barely any kisses or a NC scene but it doesn't feel off, I prefer it. I like how it actually feels like teenagers having a fun time of their lives and romance being a big part in it. I normally don't mind NC but I think their choice not to add it makes it better.

This felt like I was part of the friend group, it was sooo heartwarming. Just found family. I like how the multiple couple plot didn't get like, mixed and it was actually a veryyy good story line. Small note: Tar and Per moments were cute but I would've liked more interaction between them.

I rarely give a 10/10 these days but this series REALLY deserved it.
