beverly hills 2020

Stroy 8/10
friendships and love, cheating and everthing is a mess, there is no boring or simple sweet love, everything have to be dramatic, with manipulation and destroy, and wars, as they called it for the sake of "drama". most of the difference is that we have lesbian and gay couples, so it's make it better and more interesting to watch.

ACting 6/10
We have the good actors, avarage and the bad. most of the avarage,
Stud and Earth , and boyo, playing by good actors. the rest is so so ((I'm talking of the main acotrs only)
Locker for example is ok, but there where times he was dul.

The lesbian couple- they were too much, I didn't like both actress , they are boring and their faces and makup annoys me, I didn't get why she have to be with heavy makeup, it was so annoying to watch, maybe I connect it with streotype, and I didn't like the melodramatic acts , why they can not be at the same level of interest like Earth and Stud, I don't get why lesbian don't get the attention they deserve , to me it was like "just to show there is a lesbian couple" and that is it, maybe It is because I didn't like the couple. I wish they would have chose other story and other actresses for the roles.


Music
I really didn't like the music, the opening song remind me of Kpop, the ending song is just nothing special, and the background music was too dramatic.

overall 7/10

S2 was better than S1, I had a difficult time to like it at first but At the middle I changed my mind because of Locker story and Earth &Stud, the rest was boring to me (Boom and Good characters not reliable and boring, maybe it's also their acting) I didn't like Dr.Sam - not his character and not the actor, I stated to like Singto in this series, because in Sotus I didn't like him a lot, here he made a change and prove himself to be a good actor, he also fit more to the charater (to my point of view) I like his character development, at first I thought he was going trough non realistic madness but the last episode I understand more about the resons behind it, so it was nice to watch. I skiped all the wedding and Boom , She is just a boring actress , I'm not sure if the actress was better maybe the character would have been more interesting, the character itself could have been boring in some way, I didn't understand why she got married at all. she didn't make any progress. I could say I like Stud at the end also, the actor is very good, and I really want Stud and Earth to be together, but I have to agree that it was right maybe to end it like that and probably they will make S3.

The story is about 4 couples
There a main couple the boy ranway( logic name by he run a way from reality they could not make it more simple)
he is inlove with a man older than him look as his father in age and also clothes and acting and he called the "dream" he also follow this boy from young age since his father passed a way. it's very sick plot to my opinion
This dream is sort of a father figure and than become his lover, if it's not sick i don't know what is

theres anothee real boy inlove with runway - he is handsome and sweet loving guy, unfortunatelly runway run from answers and run from him and lead him on, toture him like crasy, it's very pathetic and sad.

theres also the runway friend that discover that he is gay...he is very cute but he doesn't make any progress at all so it's very very weird
I skip on the streigth couple it was so weird and not interesting ...boring as hell

the last couple are the sick of the sickness of this writer.
it's about the guy that rape runway friend and getting out of it by saying sory and hug him...it's very very disturbing, from this scene i wanted to stop watching this rubish but i couldn't

i skiped also most of the slow moments so it could be beriable...if i was not i couldn't watch this at all

the editing was slow and bad but the story worse.
its had a potential, that is why i like part of it.

Music 8/10
i can enshure you this song is a a rip off of South Korean old song...it's sound so falmilier but i like sk music (the old one) so i liked it also

Acting
the acting was really bad.but every one of them are looking great and handsome

Overall-
i will not watch it again, and the ending was very bad, not clear not telling anything at all and want as to watch the next season

AND YES
although everything i will watch the next seasone because i like 1% of this and it's runway friends...all of them i like

One in a million

If you watched a lot of romance in your life, a longggg list, you will really appriciate this drama, so much that will not forget it ever, this is one of those drama that giving you tears just to think it's over, it is so good, so lovable.

the reviews didn't make it a justice, because probably they are teens that didn't watched a lot of drama, some of them looking for a skin ship, others look for fast meal, it is not a fast meal, it is a traditional japanese tv drama, but now with gay theme. it's is something very very new.

there were gay drams before it, I've watched them all for years. but not like this one. they were more for fluffy love, for a girl young audience, those with the bl mangas , like in "OSANAS love" If you like Osana's I guess you will not like it, it is more older couple , ordinary, real life, with hardship and not so likable things, for example when one side is passive and appologising all the time, the other one is tough and doesn't want to get out of the closet,
IT IS -R_E_AL.. its the deal here.

You can watch it even 3-10 times, every year or 2 you want rewatch it and find another level of understanding. because like the reviews here are not mature to understand things, most reviews are from teens that doesn't get it.

The colture are different, and you can not compare Japanese drama to the Thai dramas, They are just differente and yes you need to be connected to their mind or their thing. Japanese like Art, beauty, they are very clean in thinking and down to earth, for example they doesn't even miss one spot that isn't in the right place, the angles the colors, the food they are showing, It is very pricice, second, they trying very hard not to follow other styles, like South Korean they have their own game.

Second chance and Lay Talay Sanguandikul

I tried to watch it when it was aired and i couldn't because it's look to cheezy for me, but last week i was bored so i try to watch it again, and i really like this drama from second chance. i think that it doesn't give good first impression.

story-
stroy is very cliche and simple, nothing new - it's evolve around student gays couples , there is the slave king character and the good friend that doesn't confess, there is also the guy that can't realise he is inlove or something. everyone have an isuue, but what i like about it that it's natural, not some melodrama and complex, just ordinery fluffliness.

Acting
maybe i will edit it later, but most of them don't have so much acting skills. i think that Cooper is the best here and also Handsone Lay ,even better, there is something about him, he remind me of River Phoenix , the look in general and also the acting, he have some deep skills. but he also can't deliver it to the end because he didn't had a partner at all (Perth really bad actor) and also the script or the procucing didn't help him so much. at the end i think he was the shining star in this drama really.

i didn't like Poy acting, there were just one moment that he play himself, not some stupid kid but there was amoment at first, but most of the time he lookss stupid and it's not his fault, it's because they want him to play younger than his age, like 14 -15 teen...

I didn't understand why Ryen was dubbed...it's just ruined everything, he was cute but the dubbing just ruined it.
Boss and Mek was for me the most interesting couple, i think they were cute until the end,

i didn't like Shane and Md, everything about those twoe looks fake, like they are 2 models that try very hard...

Over all it's very sweet drama i like that there is not so much drama and suffering and everything is open and normal, like it's normal to be gay and not so special, they present it as if there is no complex or questions about it, it's nice, i know there are a lot of bl drama like this, but here it's extremly fun and normal,

Yes or no number 1 was very good, but number 2.5 is quite the opposite,
1. different actors...the replace Pie, pie had great chimestry with Tom boy...now they replace it with very very bad actress. what make Tom shine is Pie...when she isn't there Tom is just boring! her acting is very lacking so whenie missing...she just doesn't intresting at all, they also cut her hair she look more like a man than before, less cute.
the replace actress are not just bad, she is just standing and not reply...it's frustrating.

2. the second couple are adorable but they get very little time screen, it's a shame. the fall inlove together and it's gave me hope at the begininig but than they just dissapired.

i skip most of the movie, it was really boring.

to those who watche the first it's worth watching.
now they after 3 years of relationship
the plot is quite cliche, there are a lot of scenes that i skiped, they were really boring, but the main couple is really adorable and have chemistry. they belivble,
i think the Tom girl is just so adorable i want to watch her again and again...she is very cute although she gain more skills she still not so good actress but she is beautiful and cute, you believe her that she is pure in heart

there is a tamptation in the movie when she found someone else that fell inlove with her, i think it's very authentic, it's somehow not like others drama when it happenes.
because i watched a lot of romance i know it, the difference is that the other girl called "YAM" is not evil, she is just cute and you like her even at the end, she let go, not holding Tom.
i think the movie success is the message of lasting love, you believe there is pure love like this
i cry and i can relate to "YAm" more than the others, but still i hoping to feel some of their love, so i think it's really pure in heart, you can feel the producer is really trying here.

the con in this movie is that there is no real kiss...i was really dissapointed at the end, but never the les is good movie and worht watching

Story
It's a story about love, there is not much plot but the sweet thing you don't just see the typical couple romance "how they met and in the final they kissed" it's more like you see the developing of their love and you go trough the journey until they even live together in a relationship until they get married.
I've skip most parts not include them together- their have a perfect chemistry between them, it look real and genuine so i like to watch only them, maybe the other couple would have been interesting but i didn't like the actors...so i pass.

The music is not my cup of tea it's just one song repeat itself, and the song is very boring and not creative.they could have adding more music more songs to make it better.

The cast - like i said the couple- love their acting they are really good at this kind of rolls.
also the family are good.

overall, it was high quality not only the filming and the cast but the developing of the scenes and the way you can relate and connect to them and even miss them when it's already end.

24 episode in just couple of days i like it a lot and at first i can say for sure they copy al ot from Koreans,the vibe the filming the looks the feeeling.. i know the specific scenes. but yet it was worth it i guess

Love is love ?

South Korea began transitioning to a democratic regime only in the 1980s, and my hypothesis is that the process itself took many years and likely still continues. In the 2000s, they really started to flourish and seemingly express a kind of Western defiance, which, in my opinion, infiltrated at least the film industry in a recognizable way. This movie, in my view, displays those markers, as if you're traveling back in time to the Hollywood of the 1980s in the United States.

The desire to convey a defiant idea that "love is love," unrelated to age or sexual identity, was successfully emotional and managed to deliver the message in its unsophisticated way. It was also very direct, typical of those years when there was a certain innocence and naivety, and everything was spoon-fed.
That is, the character whose soul was transmigrated spoke the same sentences and heard the same music at a level of 100 percent, not just hints here and there. Moreover, there was a lot of caution not to show any intimacy between the two characters(Second round), due to the period it was filmed.

In my opinion, it still holds up even though 23 years have passed, but on the other hand, it's very easy to judge this movie now because we are in a different era where things could have been a bit more blunt.
That is, if they had shown us a romantic scene between the two characters in the second reincarnation, it could have been bold for an even earlier time while still maintaining the same flame to this day.

Many of the things said by the male protagonist's classmates could not pass today's censorship filter, what is known as political correctness. After all, it's permissible to say these things only in class, but heaven forbid depicting them in a fantasy movie scene. Blunt remarks that men would make about women, which are still made today albeit censored, manage to induce a sort of internal cringe because this censorship has become part of our consciousness.
The same goes for other aspects in the movie, such as age differences. In the 2000s, this wasn't relevant and wasn't censored in South Korea. From the modern viewer's perspective, people who watch this and criticize the movie may not be aware that the era was different, and such things were accepted as part of the culture.

Mixed feelings.

There mixed feeling from my side but also from the all plot.

Yhe movie itself produced very well, you can drown into the scene, feel every moment, i really liked it a lot, the way they film it , the tenssion, the waiting . everything was perfect like a really good japanese classic film should be.
But.. i have mixed feelings and after i read the other reviews i understand more why.

The actors are not have perfect chemistry, they are good actors, especially the old one, but i feel the young actor is not enough into the character, and maybe it's not his fault, the plot itself is lacking,it's half story, not so mature story, and you figure out that it's based on manga probably for teens, it can't be deep enough to fill a full movie plot, the is a conflict- in one hand the production is in really high quality, artistic, and other hand- the plot is lacking, there are holls...it could not carry the weight of the production.

the moments of the couple are very good, they are passionet, you don't need the kiss to feel the passion, but still again- conflicts.

the title of the drama should be :"want to throw up?" instead of want a taste...it's wrong title

the drama began as a pure comedy, it was funny as i watched in the past a lot of kdrama i was expecting to some high quality in rom com, but i was so mistaken OMFG it was such a waist of my time and i want to throw up everytime i even thought it was funny...

it's strated when a wife pay for all her husbend and family expenses and slave for them all, until her husben chits on her and didn't even feel sorry about it,
i don't even have the power to write how much nonsence there are in this

but in general:
you have cheaters, you have evil man and a woman greedy, you have slaves, but on top of all that you have a lot of violence that they blind you and use it to promote the drama,
the violence agains kid and a wife
it's so much extreme that you understand the the write+ producers+ tv owners are really evil
and they programming you mind to think it's ok,
it's not ok, people should not watch it, and should even complain about it.

Women that have no goals in life or success getting into a full house with new friends(with benefits)
she has no confident in herself, and she learn couple of things on the way.

some of the episode you feel the sparks of deep thoughts like loneliness or weirdness, not fit in to society, its common in Jdrama but yet it's little fluffy as they shown desires and also they progress and more open in the bed scenes

the deep questions rising at the end and i will write about it in the end

The music is cheesy not interesting.

1-9 episode talking about sexual relationship and how does it develop to emotional connection, from the female side at least, you watch her stay the same but going trough this, and it's very cute you can relate to her feeling,
the only problem is the last episode when you don't see any emotions or understanding the main man lead, he has a problem but it's not cover nothing he don't have any emotions,

When the women confess at the end again she get answer: why do you like me i don't understand...it's more desire.
and i think it's sum up the problem in the end: we don't know why she like him except the desire for him, he doesn't give her nothing or care about her at all,

i think if she would have end with the other man that more showing emotion or something it would have close better

The first moment i watch this drama this week and fell in love, the title present it as a series in youtube, but i get the vibe it's a film, after i search i found it's indeed a film from 2015

How do you recognise high quality film?

1. The cinematographic is on high level, this is like they make SK movies, the color, editing, position of the camera, also the scenes like the first one in the karaoke when they drink the bear, it's a starnge but funny angle, they use this combination of editing and filming mostly in the old SK films,

2. Another scene in episode 1, when Yoo Yang sitting in her room, you can see she is in the middle and after it she is on the side of the frame, usually they film from far and use this kind of symmetric frames, also the background is accurate , all the books and the mess in the room is not even a mess , it's well orginised so it's a "beautiful mess".

3. No make up, no fashion, no hair style (of the main actress)

Story
the story is about a woman called Yoo Yang , she is brave and optimistic, she doesn't care about what other think and she is also a Justice warrior, even if it's cost her losing her job she continue to be happy and believe it's all for good, i realy like her attitude, and mind set.

She doesn't wear makeup, her style more like a man, she is a tomboy , but her voice and pronouncing is like news anchor, very good voice she have,

The romance is like a Dessert, it's not what make her or moves her to act in a certain way, it's particularly amazing because in SK the romance always in the main story and plot and men usually are the leaders , here it's very different- she is the leader in the relationship, she don't want to get marry and she is accepting herself as the way she is,
i think that acharachter like her could have been a better choice for dramas like "ID Gangnam Beauty " that trying to deliver idea of beauty and women power

is like a short stories combine together, but still have line through it so there's a development or connection

Cast
Ahn Young Mi doing amazing job here, no one can replace her in this role
although i'm not a fan of Noh Min Woo he is also doing a great job to deliver a quirky guy

Rewatch Value
Maybe i watch the first episode again

Overall
I didn't want it to end!!! it's really good drama

This is a short film you must watch if you like Bl Drama

Story
it's very realistic, not something special but touching, because you can indefy yourself with the lead character and could understand him and observe his deep emotions without even talking too much
everything is focuse on the 2 boys understand their feeling against the enviroment (their classmates) questening their place in the socity nd what the other will think of them, it's not like you watch fluffy tv drama with sweet moments, it's like you observe the deep emotions of this boy
this what's make great films the way they are, sometimes the actor do not need to be that great but if the producer is great the film will be really good

Cast
the cast is just wonderful, there not better then this , they could not choose other actor for this role, , i connected with them and they make you feel
more reason to like them that the actor is little dark skin then the usual in Thai dramas( at lease in TV dramas) it's make you feel they also have choosen not because of color and just because skills
Also the background it filmed in places that look real, not flashy

Music
To tell the thruth it surprise me a little,because the only song i hear is english and i don't know if i like it , i prefer thai if you make a thai film...
there's not so much music (it's the best to my opinion in those films because it's have a great influence on the quality)
So it was a good choice overall

Rewatch
if you looking for fluffy drama it's not what you get, what you get is like a food for the soul and it's precious

Story
the story is very simple, love triengle
A girl try to choose from 2 guys and she is checking her feelings ( unfortunatly out loud - most of the time we need to hear her thoughts
Because i can't put any details of it i can say you can skip to the end first before you watch so you don't have high expectation like i see others have

Music
The music is the worst,not invest at all, they realy like to play the synth , you ask yourself did they on a tight budget? so much tught like a kid playing in the computer with all the sound effect they like so much

Cast:
The only actor there is Che , he didn't get the credit he deserve
i don't think the others are bad but the problem is not with them
Uselly in Taiwan or china the actress acting like a retarded not reflect her age at all, its like they want teach women to act dumb so they can be "good" "pure" and "get the man" if you speak normal and acting like a real woman you get the "bad" role, like that is episode 3.
other people will think it her lack of acting but it's not. they want the lead actress to look average with her hair and speak look like 4 years old , it's not her fault!
But it make you want to stop watching if you are smart enough and know couple of things on women and life

Sum up:
Watch the Japanese version it's better( i'm still watching it)
