I love MON the first time I saw him on "Key Love" and always has followed him ever since. Country boy was the last one I saw. And I loved it. I notice there is a sequel but didn't see his name on the cast. It would be wrong to leave him out. I will watch anything that he is on. With his cute adorable face, he's easy to fall in love with. His smile, innocence, and boyish looks make him appealing to both sexes.

Is it me or was that Oak that took their picture at the end? Lol.
I'm surprised he wasn't cast those two seem to always pair up.

The only thing I had a hard time seeing was the bed scene. The darkness made it a guessing game on who is on the bed. Lol. Wish it was longer. I did love the holding hands at the end, made me say aww. Overall, it was decently made. Especially on the budget. The screenshot was good as it can be. The cast was good. The acting was naturally real. As long it has MON I'm a happy guy. Great job!

I really wanted to like this series so bad, BUT

1) The beginning was a disaster what I tut Jethro would be great turned out to be a TOOL.

2) One of the worst love scenes I've seen in a BL series and that kiss good gaawd. Jethro looked like he was going to swallow Mario's face(his face looked like he has never slept with a guy before) as a shark and Mario's expression looked like he's constipated. Someone needs to teach these guys basic kissing 101.

3) Jethro has become tolerable, but now Mario is unlikeable. Act your age you are not in high school.

4) Mario needs to stop acting like a chick and tell Jethro what he wants. Guys are not mind-readers!

5) Not sure I'm annoyed or disappointed with how this is going.

6) The ONLY part I liked so far is when Jethro first took Mario home and Mario left his cell in the car and Jethro back up while Mario was dancing. THAT WAS REAL and couldn't fake that.

7) I do love the soundtrack, the only thing. Well maybe, Ron Angeles. ps I hate his hair color haha.

8) Finally watched the last two episodes, and had to drop points way down. I knew Jethro was sick from the second to the last episode, who wears a beanie in the Philippines, it's too hot and humid there. I'm not trying to be heartless but the crying moments were not believable. I had such high expectations of this series but the storyline fell flat.

9) Honestly, all I can remember about this series is the arguments that Jethro and Mario on all the episodes. I felt no happy times. And what was that ending? Was he alive or not, they didn't even show his face. Also, I don't know anyone that wanna put themselves on wanting to rewatch this.

This series should have an alternative title: "Let's kill all the Main Characters!"

Chief Jiang lost everything in this fight. His mother, Commissioner Bai who's his father figure, best buddy Zhan Jun Bai, best female friend Chu Ran, and finally his almost-boyfriend Dr. Chen. Sigh. Justice really comes with a heavy price tag. Thank you for the beautiful series. Looking forward to purchasing the hopefully uncensored ? and photobook when it gets released. This is a series worth keeping. Nicely done!

Ending:
I didn't expect Jin Da Cheng to be so badass he literally killed 1 out of 2 most dangerous antagonists in the series by himself. Admit it or not, but Jing Da Cheng is so cool..... Even though he is hot-tempered but he still chooses to protect the people.
Chen Yuzhi dies not knowing that his mini-clinic is given by Chief Jiang. Sad.
Dr. Chen's last word before he dies: "I'm tired.... I'm want to sleep... It's snow again". ???

Friend: “did you watch killer and healer?”
Me: “you mean the tragic life of Jiang Yuelou? Yea I watched it”

It's one of my top 3 all-time favorite C-dramas!

The cast is amazing. It's like Bai Yu and Zhu Yi Long jumped out of the novel. Find the novel and read the character descriptions - it's uncanny - both their physical appearance and energy is spot on. Their chemistry is YOWZA. Chinese censorship is probably the only thing that kept my heart from exploding from the joy and pain in this relationship. The show would not work without their chemistry even though it's a bromance *cough*. Zhu Yi Long is impressive as Shen Wei. He is basically playing 4 different characters when you consider the maturity of his character and his nemesis. Each character has a distinct presence - his performance is flawless. The music is beautiful - especially the OST at the end of each episode. I don't want to give it a perfect 10 due to the two main issues: censorship and CGI. It could have been better so I shouldn't give it a ten although I truly love it. This show was made with a lot of love and it's that love that rises above its limitations and lets me ignore the flaws. It's the censorship that gets me down. Still, I hope this cast works together one day and a tiny part of me wishes we'd get another shot at this storyline if censorship laws ever changed.

WOW, I really liked this it's a lot! :)
This is such a great film, very hallmark.
I love the combo of the Philippines and South Korea.
I also love how they played songs in both countries, it makes it authentic between them.
The cinematography is great, shots were on point.
The main actors have strong chemistry that you'll fall in love with them instantly.
Whoever cast Kim and Jayson, well done.
Kim is beautiful and Jayson is super handsome.
I think I was impressed by how great their English was.
It's a very cinderella story.
It's one of those films that make you say aww in so many moments.
Also, I'm a sucker for romantic movies that makes me smile the whole way thru.
It's cute, sweet, and not cheesy.
Trust me you won't be disappointed. Why not watch it?!!

This series told me "No one will ever love you" in 10 languages.

My theory of love:
THIRD: "If the love is real, it can withstand anything."
KHAI: "My six-word love story: You changed my life. Thank you!"
TWO: "One night I looked up and saw 1000 stars...hello Phupha are you there?!"
BONE: "Paan broke my heart now I'm into guys and hitting on Tine's brother."

"Third,
I've watched as many romantic films as I could. To find out what love is. Instead of finding the answer, I found you in every one of them. Every scene that the lead characters express their love is the same as what you've done for me over the past three years that we've been friends. Now I know love is not beautiful flowers, not luxurious locations, but the sincerity you've given me. If I am to confess my love to you, there's no better way than the sincere way you did for me. If you still think what I've done here is not love, I really don't know what love is to you. I've engraved my name and yours in it. For me, you're not a movie, you're real. Would you be my boyfriend?"

And that's how I died

I want to like this series, I really do :)

I'm not sure if I just watched this at the right time and in the right mood, but I actually enjoyed episode 5 quite a lot even though it didn't really move the plot forward much. It felt more like an excuse to show off some of the show sponsors but I still enjoyed the whole laid-back vibe and the constant fluffiness of Nite and Latte wandering around being all comfortable and content with each other. Nite reminiscing about the flowers that grow on his hill was quite enchanting.

The subtitles proved to be a bit of a letdown - it was almost like I was back watching 'So Much In Love' again with characters speaking but no translation appearing on screen. At one point in the scent shop, Nite put a flower bud (was it edelweiss?) under Latte's nose and said something to him. I would have loved to have known what it was because it visibly engaged the two of them into having a 'moment' together.

Now that Nite does appear in photographs I'm hoping against hope that it's because he's gradually turning into a real boy after all, but I know it's more likely that it's just a continuity error the writers forgot about, just like they forgot about Nite saying he doesn't eat food in episode 1.

I have to say I'm not keen on where Coach Bhu and Que's story appears to be heading. Their relationship is already starting to get complicated with Que's reluctance, to be honest with Nam and Bhu looking very much like he's going to try and force the situation. Latte's prime target for being dragged into the middle of that mess and I can see him being used as a jealousy foil. I hope not as he clearly wears his heart on his sleeve and is making it obvious that he's looking for a way to keep Nite with him (forever).

I'll admit the show must be doing something right because they've got me at the stage where I really, really want those boys to be together. I mean c'mon, they're just far too cute not to be!

Gaawd...this show is absolutely brilliant!

If someone told me a few months back that a BL series involving action, police, gangsters, and crime would air in this world, I would have literally been like....."In million years maybe in your dreams". I just can't get enough of the characters and the storyline. Such a creative and different story.......I love the fact that the relationship and chemistry between the characters are realistic rather than being too lovely- doovy always. The character sketch of Shao Fei is the one I love the most, I mean in terms of other ukes being showed as very cute, too gentle, too good, too nice, and too much of all the good qualities( in most of the series), his character is very refreshing. I love the actors and their fabulous acting and chemistry, the way the different emotions are portrayed, and the awesome direction of the series. Sure there are some loopholes, but in my words, no series can be perfect. This series has topped my list of BLs and is a must-watch for all those who crave something different from the normal BLs we get ( not blaming the others though....). A love story of two cops and 2 gangsters, fighting destiny, stigma, different notions of revenge, love, anger, and sadness, and all the odds that their "poles-apart" jobs bring them. A million thanks and love to the crew and actors of trapped for giving us such an amazing series.....Keep making such an amazing series and remember that you guys have the support and love of countless thankful and happy fans :)

Just so well done!

It's not running at snail speed, they didn't focus on a crazy girlfriend and make her look evil. There are real-life issues being addressed and the writing and acting are so well done on top of their chemistry being 100% organic. There is ZERO forced affection between the two. I am really happy I'm watching this while it's being aired. It is a treasure for sure. One of a kind. Amazing story, great actors, great supporting actors/side stories, on top of incredible cinematography. Sex scenes are done with taste and don't look forced or fake. It is clear to me everyone involved in this project is giving everything they have. 100%.
So well done. I can't even! My brain goes into overdrive every week. I normally don't re-watch BL or comment, but this one I can't help myself. I don't think I will get sick of it. Sadly, it is really changing the level of expectations with BL dramas because nothing seems to compare anymore. The other series I thought were amazing now pale in comparison.

I liked everything about this one :)

The chemistry, the amount of drama, humor, and yes, love scenes that are not tacky or cheesy or cringe. A lot of people play moral police on how one character treats another but a good story should have flawed beings, not imaginary people who don't hurt others by being selfish. Yes, it does have one of the guys cheating on his partner with the other guy. Gasp lol it happens and it doesn't make him morally destitute it makes him a selfish human being. That doesn't mean you can't watch it. Shows are supposed to show you sides of the human experience you may not particularly like or want to exhibit or be part of and you continue to watch to see if the person learns and grows or they don't and you learn from watching that either personally or artistically. In my opinion, it's worth watching. Not all would agree though so give it a couple of episodes and see if it's for you or not.

This drama is good and really bad at the same time :)

I'm not bashing the series for the low budget but I do feel like I'm watching a first-year film school project: awkward supporting actors, weird background music choices, incredibly bad sound editing, bizarre jumps in scenes, the over-the-top fixation with Luigi Zhang's face... It is clear that this is an amateur production.

However, it's cute entertainment. The two main leads are doing their roles well considering the lackluster direction. There are some very funny bits as well (the girlfriend scene in episode 3 was ridiculously funny and the stalking scene in episode 7 was adorable.). It's too bad the budget and politics restricted them so much because the story has a lot of potentials.
Overall, you will probably walk away thinking this was just awful, but I guarantee that you'll watch the whole thing because you couldn't help yourself. Take it for what it is and just have fun with it.

Such a handsome cast you will fall in love with the couples..that's why there's a season2!

I love how Ram is like a plant, quiet and self-sufficient but needs to be cared for in a special way that requires you to pay attention. While King is like a dog, high energy, loyal, smart, goes on a whim, and at times a little ruthless.
Ram and King: intensely looking at each other
Me: about to die
Thara; we're brothers, right?
Frong; I can't remember when my mother gave birth to you.
I just noticed that this show doesn't have those Awkward BL commercials, advertisements, or Products placement lol
BossMek: ✔
DuenBohn: ✔
KingRam: "... we're getting there.."

I liked it! It was short, cheesy and sweet, and very heartwarming.

Lee Si Kang’s character was honestly hilarious and fun to watch but empowering as well with his boldness and confidence. Muji Xu played a very grounded, responsible character who was also a delight to watch, even if his relationship development was somewhat rushed. The couple’s interaction was funny and magnetic, so even though their conclusion was rushed, it’s still fun to watch them. The other two couples were also really heartwarming, especially since they had known each other beforehand so had time to develop their feelings.

Although I usually find family in BLs quite weird, because often there’s a touch of incest that doesn’t quite cross the line but is still dodge - like with stepbrothers - this drama portrayed a powerful family who was all learning to love. There were also way fewer notes of ‘I will dominate you’ coming across from the characters in their relationships - Lee Si Kang’s character even says he won’t try to dominate, control, and own his partner which is so much more of a healthy view than is often played out in BLs.
Of course, I wish this drama were longer but I enjoyed this little taste of a story.

Such a beautiful film.

The many additional scenes were delightful and helped character development. And of course, the music is exquisite. Love the soft romantic undertones that shine mostly through the eyes. There is hardly anything explicit, not even the two simple and short kisses. It‘s the story of two kindred spirits and the solace they find in each other regardless of gender. @reb Why are you even here if you aren’t open-minded enough to accept that love is love that doesn’t need to be limited to certain pairings you would deem acceptable. Even Korea has started representing bl, which is remarkable and a good sign that acceptance is slowly developing. Let’s hope there will be more representation in the future, including all other LGBT pairings.
